So I read about this fillum when it was released but never really sought it out.

I turned on my tv yesterday and checked the grid and there it was.

THE IRON CLAW.

It was nothing like I thought it would be. It is the story of the Von Erich wrestling family. But it was about more than that. A story of survival. Zac Efron was very good as Kevin Von Erich....but everyone was good.

The wrestling scenes were well done - but the family dynamic was difficult to watch. If you think you might be interested, it is highly recommended by the likes of me.

I also re-read a book called Rainbow's End. It is the story about The Judy Garland Show and all of the backstabbing and misguided attempts to make the show what it never should have been.

Of course then I had to watch a few of the episodes on the box set I watched many years ago. Interesting to see after reading about the shenanigans that were going on.

That prompted me to look up the wikipedia for The Judy Garland Show, and where that led me.

Even from that, it sounds like so much trosuris went on in that one season, especially considering it's a show we now look at with such affection.

Behind the scenes shenanigans are not new to the 21st century, I guess.

I was surprised at how the movie was not what I thought it was going to be. Excellent performances

A favorite Judy Garland TV moment - would this song be OK today on TV?

And others.

What did I miss?

Not caught up yet, by a long shot.

Hello DR GINNY!

Hi, DR JRand!

singdaw · « **Reply #48 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:05:45 AM »

My mom's house had unreliable (non-existent) Internet, which is being rectified by switching providers.

singdaw · « **Reply #49 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:05:55 AM »

One more.

Ginny · « **Reply #50 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:05:56 AM »

Welcome back, DR Singdaw!

singdaw · « **Reply #51 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:06:15 AM »

Thanks, DR Ginny!

singdaw · « **Reply #52 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:06:31 AM »

So apologies for my errantness and truantness.

singdaw · « **Reply #53 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:07:15 AM »

But we had a lovely and relaxing time. Great food, long walks on the beach, reading. The weather was gorgeous.

singdaw · « **Reply #54 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:07:38 AM »

I still have today off and have a lot of catching up to do.

MichaelG · « **Reply #55 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:42:02 AM »

Welcome back and welcome home, DR singdaw!

MichaelG · « **Reply #56 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:42:56 AM »

The last two nights we've been doing our homework for scene study class. We need to watch a movie and be prepared to briefly discuss a great scene that reveals character. We have about 20 movies to choose from.

MichaelG · « **Reply #57 on:** October 22, 2025, 08:43:38 AM »

So Monday was Bonnie and Clyde for my wife's movie, and last night was Downfall for my movie.

Great to hear it was a relaxing vacation!

Downfall's scene is easy - it's the one that's a meme that you probably have seen a zillion times. In the context of the movie it's the big character reveal.
