Has anybody else watchedalltne episodes of of grace &frankie?


We did, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I noted bk's comments about the pilot a few weeks ago. Yes, it was a bit forced. But I thought it got better and better as it went along. I think of it as more a character study than a situation comedy. Anyway, we really enjoyed the performances. And yes, it has been picked up for a second season.

Some other DR (was it DR Jane?) posted also that they enjoyed it more and more as the episodes moved along.

DR Vixmom, I've watched several episodes of Grace & Frankie.  I liked it and want to get back to finish the season.

Is Christine the stupidest movie ever?

Pumpkinhead or Maximum Overdrive. I would also add Flashdance. Even though there are many fans of the latter, I wanted a refund when I saw it in a theater. There's nothing to the movie once you start with the premise that Jennifer Beals does arc welding as a day job and dancing while water splashes on her at night. Of course, she goes to college full time too. Not. Believable. Ever. Bad acting everywhere. Made me want to vomit on the floor, but the theater floor was already grungy.

I hope so as well. I amso sad I will never again get to see their beautiful home in the mountains. They are quite always from the rest if the family now it's about 2 hours away from threat of the Canadian clan but it was the only facility that would allow them to stay together

I have enjoyed the episodes I've seen about Freddie and Stuart, portrayed by Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi, in VICIOUS. They are hilarious, and they're the tops in acting.

I did not see pumpkin head or maximum overdrive.   I remember enjoying flash dance when I saw it.  But I think it was the romance factor I liked.  I was a young woman in search of romance at the time so I was a sucker for those at the time

I tried watching those and I couldn't stick with it.  I wanted. Freddie and Stuart to be kinder to one another

I just thought up a great idea for a movie that doesn't really need any remake, since that's the going trend these days. How about a remake of THE SEVEN FACES OF DR. LAO? Since we no longer have the talents involved with the original classic, Cher and Burt Reynolds could co-star, each taking half of the faces. The lady in the attachment could be the guest star as the feline who's always getting in and out of trouble, with a sub-plot about spaying.

I forgot to mention that I'd get Kenny Rogers to do the theme song. Mickey Rourke could do an interpretive dance with Carrot Top.

What a dreadful job of plastic surgery

I think these people need to realize that you just can't reverse time. My head has lost a lot of hair, but I will never, ever get a rug or any Bosley treatments. I feel bad that people like Peter Brady (Christopher Knight) are promoting that junk. Ease into your mature years but don't do unnecessary surgery. Each time you are put under anesthesia, your heart essentially stops and is put on a machine, you are put on breathing apparatus, you are in suspended animation. The more times you do that to yourself for something so frivolous, you are shortening your life. Save the plastic surgery for the people who need repairs or reconstructions due to birth defects, injuries and accidents, and results from disease. That was the original intent of plastic surgery, following WWI.

I will step down from the soap box.

The reason I got into this is that I'm suffering through a rerun of EVENING SHADE contemplating what died and resides on top of Burt Reynolds's head. In some angles, it looks like a raccoon or a small black poodle. You can see the join line between his scalp and the tribble that he hijacked.
