It was Flake. He is something else. It was a great day. We saw the play and had dinner. Because of work we are like ships passing in the night, but he proved that I'm not just any ship.

It is so sweet!It was Flake. He is something else. It was a great day. We saw the play and had dinner. Because of work we are like ships passing in the night, but he proved that I'm not just any ship.
It is so sweet!
What did you guys have for dinner?
Seafood. My favorite. We were with another couple. People I enjoy being around. It was a wonderful day.
Good night...Happily tired . . .going to bed, now.
I so missed you! But as you see, I kept on yammerin' on and on and on and on.....Big Time! Just caught the replay
I miss being here with you . . .
Oh my, I didn't realize Elizabeth Pena passed away. She was in Jacob's Ladder -- we were just talking about that here on the board.
Thank you for weighing in. I had to look her up too and was just so sad about it.I watched very little of the show, but tuned in just in time to see and hear the Roll Call of the Dead. I morbidly like to catch this part because it reminds me of who has passed.
Yes, Elizabeth Pena was a bit of a shock. i didn't know either. And I flashed right to that movie.
So I was watching it scrolling, alternatively going, "Oh, never heard of," to, "Aww, that's a shame," and then Robin Williams flashed up, and I'll be doggoned if I didn't have to suppress a sob from breaking through. His death had affected me like no other celebrity, really, ever, and the weird grief came back in sharp relief.
Anyway. So yeah, I came back to it off and on, and I've always liked Neil Patrick Harris in his roles, but he didn't have his mojo, his stuff, when I saw him. He seemed flat, uncommitted. Too bad.
And while I enjoyed The Lego Movie and even now hum that song, "Everything is Awesome," the production number that I saw was really stupid. I thought it was a flashback to my acid days, but then I remembered that I didn't do acid, so that wasn't it.
And I agree with the critique on Lady Gaga, whom I also caught (the last part). While Julie Andrews flowed naturally and sweetly through the tunes, Ms. Gaga wanted to power through them. Still, she did hit the notes with reasonable declaration, and it was a pretty good performance, and Ms. Andrews was wondrously gracious in her acknowledgment.
But honestly, what I heard and saw didn't make me feel, "Oh, I should've caught the whole thing."
I had to look her up because it seemed that she died young. This is what Wikipedia says: "Peña died on October 14, 2014 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California at the age of 55. The cause of death listed on her death certificate was cirrhosis of the liver due to alcohol, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiogenic shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest."
This makes me sad.

Hmmm that's too bad, it was one of the movies that looked like it had potential. Hopefully, Birdman won't disappoint! (Want to see that soon...)DJ, don't watch Boyhood. It sucks. You REALLY would enjoy paint drying better than watching that damn movie. BORING. No, smucking wonder it took years to make! Chit!
Chit Chit Chit . . .
yep . . . it's that damn, chitty!
Yes, I hadn't heard about that either. R.I.P.Oh my, I didn't realize Elizabeth Pena passed away. She was in Jacob's Ladder -- we were just talking about that here on the board.
Why was everyone so hot about it? I hate when they nominate something that doesn't deserve it. Were the performances worthy even though the story sucked?DJ, don't watch Boyhood. It sucks.

Storyline
Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. Written by IFC Films
