♥ Sandi ❣ ’s comments from the Page to Screen group.

Geesch - I wish this one would just push thru all the rest of the show. This week to week stuff is frustrating. Still enjoying and know that I won't want this one to end...

Still watching one episode a week. Still enjoying...

This finally hit streaming. It is on MGM+ a free channel.

I watched it over the weekend and loved it. Been awhile since I read the book, so can't comment on how close the movie followed along, however I know it hit the highlights - everything that I remembered. Even having read the book and knowing how the races turned out they were still exciting to watch.

Coming soon a new series about the Bosch character Renee Ballard

I'll keep my eyes out

One Day by David Nicholls

This is one I just heard about. It is a romantic comedy. It actually started on Netflix this last February. There are 14 episodes.

Goofs
Dex calls Emma "Emily" when chasing after her. He calls Emma this as a joke, as his father had incorrectly just called her "Emily" in the show's timeline, seen earlier in the series.

I watched the first episode of Ripley tonight. I thought it was good. It has been so many years since I read the book - The Talented Mr. Ripley that I don't remember much about it. However I did remember the reason Ripley went to Italy and kind of remember the stairs. I am hoping the series brings more of the story back to me.

I kind of like that it is in black and white.

There are 8 episodes and they are all out to view. I only watched the first episode tonight and will probably watch them one at a time.

Watched all episodes available. I find that this one is following the book really well. I am finding it very interesting especially since it is based on the Kurc family's real life.

Watched and enjoyed the second episode. Wish this one was going a bit faster. I hate waiting a week between episodes. However it does come on just minutes into Fridays. I was just ready to shut off my TV and go to bed when I realized it around 11:57 pm, so I waited and by 12:05 am on Friday the next episode was viewable. Couldn't resist - stayed up and watched it.

Reminder ~~ Netflix series to start on April 4, 2024. An 8 episode series.

Here is a sneak peak at who Just Jared thinks should play in the movie. This is NOT the stars who have been cast - just one persons idea of who it should be. But I think he may be close in some instances...

Watched the first episode and loved it. Been some time since I read the book, but so far it seems to be following the book pretty well.

I was also reminded that McGregors real life wife will be playing in this with him.

"Rostov declares that “the heart must always be a priority,” and the love on display here is influenced by the changing times in which he and his friends find themselves. To that end, McGregor plays opposite his real-life wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Rostov’s love interest Anna Urbanova, a starlet with whom his fate becomes intertwined. "

Not sure when she first will appear tho.

I see that there are 3 episodes released already. I have only watched the first one so far - hoping to watch the next two tomorrow. Having just read the book I think the show followed it really well. We will see if it continues that way.

This is the authors debut novel - based on a true family. Nice that she got a series on her very fist book.

Happy Easter to everyone...

Sometimes I need a bit of "out there". I haven't started it yet, but plan to.

Some people are not happy with who is playing the Count - Ewan McGregor - however he seems to be exactly how I pictured him.

I was told in another group that this will be on the regular Showtime channel starting on March 30th.

Trivia
Mark Ruffalo had a lot of doubts about his performance during the shoot. He often half-joked that his friend Oscar Isaac, who was filming on a nearby sound stage, was going to be called in to replace him. One day, Willem Dafoe pranked Ruffalo by taking him to a room where Isaac (who was in on the joke) was waiting. Isaac and Dafoe informed Ruffalo he was fired and, indeed, getting replaced by Isaac.

Well we will soon see if this is showing on any and all Showtime hubs or just on the Paramount+ Showtime hub.

Starts this Friday March 29th and I can't wait. Loved this book.

Have watched all four episodes now. Maybe he is growing on me?? I am finding this not great, maybe good, watchable.
