GREAT BRITISH MENU
I really enjoyed this. It was 40 something episodes of chefs across Britain competing for a chance to serve the British Olympic athletes at a banquet. The food they cooked -- horrifying and scrumptious looking all at the same time.
Before I die, I want to eat rabbit and duck. Done by a chef that knows how to cook it properly.

My Best Fiend, by Werner Herzog. It's a documentary in which Herzog chronicles his trials and tribulations with the infamous actor, Klaus Kinski. Somehow, Herzog was able to put up with his insanity enough to make five films with him. That takes guts, in my opinion, and it makes me appreciate Herzog even more.
Has anyone watched the documentary The Staircase about author Michael Peterson's murder trial? I was aware of this trial at the time, I saw news reports about it. But, this documentary is very detailed.
Opinions on his innocence or guilt? I have my opinion, but I'd like to hear others if anyone would care to share.

Good morning - I just scrolled thru 2 pages and got my summer watchlist! Thank you Dana Jean ! I get caught up in trying to figure out what to watch, spend so much time looking, I never actually watch anything. I did watch What We Do in the Shadows recently - that was awesome! I think I'll start with Elvis - we're approaching Dead Elvis Week here, ya know. What Haunts Us.... yes. I meet so many with a tragic personal story. Have you ever noticed how almost every woman on My 600 Pound Life has sexual abuse in her past?

Yes. Armchair psychologying here, but I'm sure their weight gets out of control young in hopes of becoming unappealing to their abuser, and they comfort eat to make themselves feel better. It's something they have control over.Good morning - I just scrolled thru 2 pages and got my summer watchlist! Thank you Dana Jean !

I've said this in another thread, but it seems that childhood is a very dangerous time for children, and abuse runs rampant. I was one of the lucky ones, but as women I know get older and feel more confident in themselves, they are revealing to me that they were abused as children. It's heartbreaking and makes me physically ill for them. I hate it!

Oh fudge - when I saw this just now - I noticed that my large laughing smilie seems to be at the fact that those women were abused! That was intended for Scott's Daffy Duck & Bugs Bunny. Can you fix that? Laughing at the women was not my intent. My apologies - please fix. No laughing matter ever. And yes - childhood is so dangerous. I was hyper-vigilant about supervising my kids because of it.
I think it's more clear now that it was the cartoon but let me know if you want it changed a different way.
I didn't think that at all.
That is perfect and thank you for fixing it! I would have fretted about that tomorrow when the board was closed!
Have a great visit with your granddaughter (and family)!
Thanks! Looking forward to it.
I'm relieved! But I sure did when I saw it in your reply - it just looked so very inappropriate of me.
Season Two on Netflix. I love this show. hahaha! Amazing talent and fun.
And my favorite couple, Max and Olivia, have split up! They are 12. Olivia was just a better dancer of the two and needs to find a better partner. Max is terrific, but you could see the difference in the two's abilities.
Don't Look Back -- documentary about Bob Dylan
Fun to see all those young punks making their arrogant ways in the world.

Dana Jean Have you seen Queen Mimi (2015)? I watched it on Netflix a few months ago. Compelling and heartbreaking.
