This seemed like a hilarious afternoon of Dora the Explorer 😂
I don't think it’s the most inappropriate, but I often fall asleep in the cinema. I blame movies 😂 The most recent was Trap. Just don't bother unless you need a dark, public place to take a nap 😂
Never read the book or saw the movie, although I did hear about the dust up (read: creative differences?) between Justin and Blake. I can honestly say that that I've never felt like Doris Day (although I loved her movies) and I've never fallen asleep in a movie theater (although my Dad does. LOL). I blame the movie, the food coma (lunch beforehand or hot dog, popcorn, etc), or the sugar crash from eating/drinking all that candy and/or soda.
I knew immediately that this post was going to be better than watching the actual movie so thank you for saving me two hours and eleven minutes AND surviving a salt-induced coma for your personal audience here. I'm reminded of high school and my big panic to track down the film version of Henry V from Blockbuster the night before the year-end exam instead of reading the book. I had taken a month-long in-class nap and my review/essay question quietly revealed that. Instead, your review here was cinematic and informed. Thank you, TV twin! Also---Alexander Neustaedter was fab in American Rust. AND, I thought I recognized you from somewhere. It was definitely Clouds.
That's hilarious, I love the thought of a proper old skool panic trying to secure a video to cram for an exam! 😂 😂
PS: Have been trying to watch your recommended 'Deep Water', it started off really well, and then the itvX player just keeps freezing, so frustrating. I keep popping back every few days to see if they've solved the problem yet. 😫
I'm not surprised you needed a little catnap after the stress of deciding to go to see a film so quickly! Love that you revealed you snoozed. Can't say that I think that says much for the film though as I snooze through films at home but not in the cinema – it's too exciting – it's out, out! Thanks for the giggles. xx
I must admit I was really surprised that I fell asleep, I wasn't even tired, instead putting it down to being full of popcorn, and stretching out in a super comfy seat. Zzzzzzz. 😉
That made me LOL. Perhaps that is what you needed most. When would you actually just admit you felt like overloading on light & yummy carbs followed by a nap? The universe/lighting in the flicks is magical 😜
That was the best review—all I had to hear was, "How long have I been asleep for?" When my husband and I go to the movies, while we watch the previews, we play a little game. After each preview, we give the movie a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down based on our interest level. We both gave a thumbs down to this one. Isn't the book always better anyway?
Thank god for you UK-based people! I had no idea there was a new Bridget Jones on the docket! Between her and Adrian Mole, it's been an education (spag bol for one!). I've just started Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent's memoir, A Short Ride in the Jungle, and a guy told her that back in the day when tigers roamed Vietnam she'd be Kitekat. I thought it was a typo for KitKat but well, who knew it was a cat food brand!
Just like Canada's ketchup-flavoured crisps. We gotta keep our identity strong! I realized this morning that "Kitekat" is probably pronounced "kitty-cat" vs. "Kite-kat"---which leads me to wondering...is there spag bol-flavoured cat food for British cats?
A really good movie I watched recently was The President's Wife (French with English subtitles). The wife was a strong, determined and amusing character and its based on the real life wife of Jaques Chirac. 5-Star experience.
Ironically I too fell asleep twice during the movie. I had read the book about a year ago...so could fill in my comatose gaps! I liked it and it delivered what I expected - escapism at it's best. I indulged at an afternoon showing with a girlfriend, who nudged me awake twice! haha. So it's not a suspense, edge-of-your-seat anticipation thing. Its a gentle lovely romantic experience with a lesson about dating the wrong guy!!!
My daughter just recommended this movie. Haha. From your description however, I will wait until it's free on a streaming service. Is the movie as slow as "The Widow Cliquot?"
Looking forward to your Emily take. So far it's the fluff I was hoping for: gorgeous shots of Paris, fab couture and an up-cycled story line from the other seasons.
I don't mind falling asleep in public; it's the snoring that's embarrassing.

Aaah, I used to love Dora the Explorer! 🥰

So funny Kate - the fact that you fell asleep and spent most of your time on Google / Chat really highlights how shit this film was 😂
I always dreamed of being Doris Day in Calamity Jane - one of my all time favs
Whip Crack Away!!! 👏
Taking me right back there to watching it a million times on our old Betamax

The suspense! Well, I do believe anticipation is everything (if not annoying at times). It's worth the pacing around and wait!
I shall persist in checking back, and if that fails I may write them a stern 'why oh why' letter. 😉

Yes, the book is always better as it contains a lot more detail. 👏
Let’s hope the new Bridget Jones is a corker! 🤞

I only found out a few years ago that Spag Bol isn’t available at all in Italy, it’s just a British thing! 😂

We have ketchup crisps too! 😂
And yes, Kitekat is pronounced kitty-kat. 😂
I'll see your ketchup crisps and raise you a bag of Lays Bolognese! Thanks for the kitty kat confirmation too! https://sweetfusion.net/product/lays-bolognese/#:~:text=Indulge%20in%20the%20robust%2C%20savoury,that%20Lay's%20is%20famous%20for.

This sounds good, thanks for the recommendation! 👏

Yeah, wouldn’t say the £5 ticket was a good investment, however the popcorn was delicious. 😉😘
My daughter just told me that everyone hating on Blake Lively because of her odd interviews for the movie and her costumes.
Yeah, she’s not having a good time right now, which must be awful for her. 😞
You make me laugh- love it!
Thanks Alice, I love to hear your laughter from all the way in LA! 😘
Made me laugh so much. Thank you
In seven words you have written the perfect comment, thank you so much! 🥰
My work here is done. Thank you so much! 👏😘
