[Lauren]

I am so sorry for your loss, Shaz.

[Sandra]

I think I lost the excitement over Outlander through the series. I remember I've binge watched the first series but than I've stopped watching, I don't know why because if you ask me it's still one of my favourite shows ever...

Shaz, sorry to hear about your dad!

[Sandra]

Gentleman Jack also didn't hold my attention

[Sandra]

Lauren, check Sanditon I think you' ll like it! JA only wrote the first chapters, so the adaptations are all very free

Me too Sandra. I loved it at first but somehow lost interest after a while and didn't keep watching. Same thing happened with Poldark series.

The best Highlander I loved was my dad. Unfortunately I lost him when I was 20. This is probably why I love a highlander book 📕 🗡"

Sorry for your loss Shazz and I too have a big fascination with highland novels. My great grandda was Irish.

Thanks Missy. Looks promising!

[Sandra]

Thanks Missy, looks fascinating!!

[Joanna Loves Reading, Bluestocking of HR novels]

It looks really good. I was a bit worried they would play up the "love triangle" too much, but I don't think they are. Hard to say, but looks like there's going to be good tension!

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

Thanks Missy. 👍

Title of the video: Bridgerton: Everything We Can Tell You About Season 2 | Netflix

The video contains brief clips of season 2. A nice little sneak peek, in my opinion! But what is up with Penelope's hairdo in some of these scenes?

For the lucky ones who have ITV Sanditon is back tomorrow!

Missy, you're right what is that?!?!? :D

[Lauren]

As far as Tvs based on books: I'm going to have to catch up on Sanditon. Right now i'm watching, Outlander, TWD, Killing Eve, and Gilded Age. Soon i will be watching Brigerton season 2 and unrealeted but Barry and Saul Goodman. Did they have to come out with everything at the same time?

[Missy]

I know, right, Lauren. Even Sandra Bullock’s new movie, The Lost City, will be in theaters on the 25th of March, the same day Bridgerton 2 is available on Netflix.

[Lauren]

Does Sandra Bullock's new movie remind you a little of Romancing The Stone or is that just me?

[Missy]

I've only seen parts of Romancing the Stone when I was a child, so I can't confirm.

It does seem similar, but not a complete remake. The author in the Sandra Bullock movie seems to be quite a bit more worldly than the one in Romancing The Stone

[Lauren]

No, it's not just you.
I loved that movie and though of it immediately when I saw the Lost City trailer.

[Missy]

Some Youtube reviewers were lucky enough to watch the entire second season of Bridgerton already. I've watched three spoiler-free reviews already. Friday cannot get this here any sooner!

Totally agree with you Missy😁

[Oleander]

I read an interview with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum yestersday that said the new movie was supposed to be in the vein of romancing the stone. It is a test movie to see if Rom Com can still attract movie goers. Apparently, movie makers think that people will no longer go to the theater for anything other than Marvel universe stuff.

[Lauren]

well, that's sad but true!

:-( … I think this has got to be tough for many areas. I don’t have much desire to go to a movie theater really, but would pay to rent online.

They really need to look at what is doing well streaming in romance. Adapt more books and you’ll get that viewership.

amen sistah sistah!!!

[Lauren]

personal, I'd save my money and watch Romancing The Stone.

off topic: but are we ever going to try BINGO or did I miss a memo?

Not about it specifically, but it’s hard to start something new when we don’t have time to keep up. Will see when our new mods feel up to speed if they want to take it on.

Joanna Loves Reading wrote: "They really need to look at what is doing well streaming in romance. Adapt more books and you’ll get that viewership."

I couldn't agree more.
The success of the Bridgertons and The Hating Game is a clear indication that there is an untapped audience that movie producers are ignoring.

Cinema tickets are also so expensive these days and I'm also not eager to be in an enclosed space with so many people. Unfortunately, Omicron is still with us.

[Sandra]

Despite loving this kind of movies. if I go to the cinema, that I usually don't, I only go to see movies with great productions like Star Wars or something like that, where the huge screen is an advantage and even as here in Portugal we are almost all vaccinated the cinema it's not a place where I want to stay

Missy, I have a question in the discussion I would love the read your opinion on that: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

;)

[Missy]

@Mira, the wait is killing me! I have to gobble everything related to Bridgerton! I didn’t think they were going to show any clips in the interview so that was a very nice surprise!

@Sandra, you are so lucky to have watched it already!!! I’ll have to wait to comment after I watch the new season tomorrow.

[Joanna Loves Reading, Bluestocking of HR novels]

Has anyone been watching Sanditon?

[Missy]

I have! I was going to post a question last week about Mr. Lockhart (the artist) but decided to wait until it's confirmed. I have a suspension about him: (view spoiler)[I think he's the one who went to the court in the West Indies about Georgianna Lambe's inheritance. Since he didn't win the case, he's trying to get close to Georgianna. (hide spoiler)]. I hope everything works out in the final episode: (view spoiler)[Tom Parker (is that his first name?) pays his debt to the colonel and the colonel pays his debt to the shopkeepers, Edward's scheme is revealed and he gets his comeuppance, Charlotte and Mr. Colbourne get engaged. I'm sure Fraser and Alison will get their happily ever after, but please, please! Let Charlotte get her happily ever after this season. 🤞🙏 (hide spoiler)]

I have Passport so have seen Episode 6. Don’t look if you don’t want a spoiler (view spoiler)[spot on on Lockhart! I was totally not there. I kept hoping he would turn out to be a good guy, even though he seemed to calculated to please Georgiana. I just didn’t want further heartbreak for her (hide spoiler)]. But I was so enamored in Episode 5 (view spoiler)[ that final scene between Colbourne and Charlotte - have rewatched several times. Also the dance sequences conveyed a lot of feels. (hide spoiler)]

[Missy]

I have to wait till next Sunday (4/24) for episode 6. 😭 So I'm definitely not reading the spoilers until after I've watched the episode.

End of episode 5: (view spoiler)[I don't know why, but I loved it when Mr. Colbourne cupped Charlotte's cheek/neck during the kiss and brings her closer to him. So masculine! (hide spoiler)]

Ep. 5 (view spoiler)[yes! He was the perfect mix of masculine and vulnerability. So expressive with his looks too. But yes, loved the cheek cupping and pulling her closer. It wasn’t a kiss just to have them kiss. It was very necessary. Loved it, and I keep seeking out gifs of it, lol (hide spoiler)]
