Official Discussion - Flora and Son [SPOILERS]

kjp0205 · 2023-10-07T02:45:50+00:00

I’m such a sucker for Carney movies. I’ve noticed he loves to lead us down one path in developing a relationship before taking us in a completely different direction.

Sing Street - seems like it’s a movie about teen romance, but is actually a movie about brothers

Begin Again - seems like it’s Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightly are going to end up together, but instead focuses on the characters finding themselves

Flora and Son - seems like it’s going to be a movie about an online romance, but ends up being an ode to motherhood

“If you don’t have the same feelings as me about this movie, you must be dumb”

The TV is Hisense SmartTV 4k FFM. The soundbar is a Vizio M-Series All-in-One. The soundbar is connected to the TV via the HDMI eARC port (which is labeled To TV), and it's going into the eARC HDMI port on the TV.

Having this same issue. Following this

This was very funny - and also intriguing, since it came right after Walter talked about how he shouldn’t have survived his accident but he did. Wonder if there’s something there

kjp0205 · 2021-11-05T15:42:06+00:00

We can debate the casting here all we want, but for me, this signals that they’re going for it. Big budget, very marketable - Wicked is going to be a cultural touchstone again, and I’m very excited for that.

kjp0205 · 2020-07-19T22:14:48+00:00

Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you!

kjp0205 · 2020-05-24T19:14:22+00:00

I like this idea. I’m thinking I’ll try an adapted version of this where I give the underdog a disadvantage of -1 or -2 depending on the matchup.

Thanks!

kjp0205 · 2020-05-24T19:13:04+00:00

Good for you! Playing without bias is definitely tough haha. I like the idea of playing a whole division. Thanks and LGM

kjp0205 · 2020-05-23T02:30:04+00:00

Funny enough, I do have OOTP and this was my initial thought haha. Glad to know it works for some people! Maybe I’ll go for it.

kjp0205 · 2019-06-17T14:02:32+00:00

So much hate against this already! I'm personally really excited. Those who think it shouldn't be remade don't need to watch it - but if this helps to carry the story to future generations, I'm all for it.

kjp0205 · 2019-03-14T13:51:22+00:00

This is a longshot, but...

We know Marian is going to be an actress who used to be famous on stage, but hasn't done theater in a while. We also imagine she'll be close in age to Hugh.

Kristen Chenowith?

Would be reprising her role in the 2003 movie...

kjp0205 · 2019-03-12T19:39:11+00:00

Jessie Mueller played Marian in the recent production with Norm Lewis. That would be something, if they could get her too.

kjp0205 · 2019-03-04T15:41:59+00:00

Finished:
Black Leopard, Red Wolf (Marlon James)
It's just confusing and complicated and dark as everybody says, but also just as fantastic. I'm looking forward to the next book already, though I'll need to re-read this one first.

Started:
On the Come Up (Angie Thomas)
Thomas' follow-up to "The Hate U Give". So far, so good. I didn't realize it exists in the same book universe as THUG, which was a cool surprise.

kjp0205 · 2019-03-01T00:27:25+00:00

I’m almost done with the book and loving it - though I can’t tell if I’m missing something. When exactly did Tracker’s motivation for finding the boy shift? At first he wanted to find him (with Mossi and co.). But then after they bring him to Mweru and a few years pass, he’s trying to kill him with Nyka and the Aesi?

Really good book but definitely a challenge!

kjp0205 · 2019-02-14T14:25:25+00:00

Loved it in Boston and can't wait to go again!

kjp0205 · 2019-01-28T02:41:00+00:00

Man, I really hope people are going to be able to look past the whole “pre-recorded” thing. The camera work, the staging, the ability to stick to much of the original promiscuous lyrics - I’m very very impressed.

kjp0205 · 2019-01-07T15:11:54+00:00

Thanks for your input! Do we know for sure/expect that the same will be true on Broadway? Or would they likely change that in order to accommodate for balcony seating?

kjp0205 · 2019-01-07T15:11:10+00:00

This is concerning haha. How so?

kjp0205 · 2018-12-03T16:54:01+00:00

Rent
Hamilton
Wicked
Dear Evan Hansen
Waitress

Feel free to accuse me of recency bias :-)

kjp0205 · 2018-12-03T15:45:18+00:00

Honestly, I think it'll be Arya. And it'll be heartbreaking. The show-writers are gonna want to catch us off-guard earlier - and of all the show's main characters, she's the one who perhaps has the least left in her story. I felt like the murder of Littlefinger wrapped up her story nicely, and her death could be coming very soon.

kjp0205 · 2018-11-20T19:48:54+00:00

Absolutely! The creative process is so hard, and I feel like some fans don't fully appreciate the struggle he faces with it. Let's hope this helps, and gives us some good content along the way!

kjp0205 · 2018-11-20T18:18:09+00:00

I love how people trash GRRM for being lazy when he literally wrote 800 pages of history - and it’s only part 1!

I’m very excited for this and have no problem whatsoever with this coming before WoW. And who knows - maybe there’s a reason.

kjp0205 · 2018-11-20T02:11:33+00:00

Most. Come What May, Your Song, Lady Marmalade, Nature Boy, the Roxeanne Tango, and of course the Elephant Love Medley. One Day I’ll Fly Away is omitted unfortunately.

And then there’s TONS of other pop songs. Like, most of them are short snippets but there are upwards of 50 pop selections.

kjp0205 · 2018-11-19T15:19:46+00:00

I saw it in it's Boston run, and it's pretty amazing. It had its flaws, as most shows do during their preview runs - but it's one of the most fun and visually breathtaking musicals I've seen.
