Adam project...I wanted more Jennifer Gardner! I wanted scene of her and Mark Raffalo together. I was so let down. Thank goodness for Ryan Reynolds who carried the movie

Don't read this Jimmer....until after you see the film! Oh yeah, that goes for everyone else, so we don't spoil it for Jimmer!
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler | Naja, it's been years since I saw this and I don't remember the kidnapping part. What I do remember is that she was the mother, but she was also the baby daddy...AND she was also the baby!! After traveling to a time after (or before?) "their" sex reassignment, she met a man who was actually herself from a different time and who had a different gender (after the transition). Then "they" had a baby who grew up to be all three of them as "they" crisscrossed the timelines. One person from three different timelines. That's why they said she was "born out of time".
I have to see it again now.  |

Naja, I need to make a correction...
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler | Oops. I said "crisscrossed the timelines. One person from three different timelines", but I misspoke.
They were one person in three different times that happened on one timeline. It could not have happened had their paradoxes branched off into alternate universes. As we all know, the logic of time travel is determined by the author alone. |

Okay...I just finished watching it again. I had forgotten a few things.
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler | Yes, Ethan was the baby daddy and yes, he stole the baby and took it to the orphanage. However, Ethan was also the baby momma. And Ethan was also the man who ruined Jane's life by setting her up to go through all this. And Ethan was also the fizzle bomber who not only was burned so horribly, but he also stood there and watched himself (as the bomber) burn...before he was patched up and given a new face that none of his younger selves recognized.
It's a very difficult story to explain because each event happened in a different time over a period of decades and out of order but, from the time traveling agent's POV, it was in perfect chronological order.
If you rewatch it knowing all this, you'll see a LOT of clues like one of them saying "We're a lot alike". Or when Ethan types "by Jane" and crosses it out "Jane" and changes it to "John".
I gotta add I cracked up when Ethan quit the bar as they were playing "I'm my own Grandpa"! lol. |

Well I watched Predestination and now my head is spinning. Such an entertaining complicated story. I love time travel paradoxes. As well as being disturbing, that was a lot of fun! Oh and that website explaining it is great too.

Rieann, I started watching (Servant of the People) and am really enjoying it! Much more than I was expecting to. Worth watching on its own merits, not just because of who the star is.

I watched Bad Vegan. Very interesting documentary about a famous vegan celebrity chef and author Sarma MeIngailis...and the downfall of her career and her restaurant after she married scam artist Anthony Strangis.
It is just such a strange, intricate web. She is an odd mix of victim and perpetrator.
The more I watch these documentaries about people that con, or get conned...the more amazed I am at the naivete of people!

Bridgerton Season 2 is out today! 
I actually don't mind that different characters will be the focus of the season.

I’m still getting around to watching the first season but I’m interested in hearing what everyone thinks of the new one with new characters.

They're not totally new characters. It's just focusing on the oldest brother (Anthony) and his search for a wife. Last season was all about Daphne, who actually appears in some of the episodes this season, although the Duke is elsewhere. Still a lot of the same characters. I'm on episode 4 now (watched the first 3 this afternoon). Loving it!!!

Stayed up WAY too late binging the entire season 2. I enjoyed it. Not as much steam as season 1 but engaging. I can't wait for another season!

So I figured I needed a break from crazy docu-series and monster movies....I stumbled across Magic for Humans with Justin Willman.
I usually don't care for magicians/illusionists...but this guy....oh my gosh. I can't even begin to explain the mind-blowing, funny, original illusions he preforms! I can't stop watching them

Just finished season 2 of Bridgerton and ended up enjoying it more then the first season. It took me awhile to get into it because Anthony was my least favorite character after season 1 and I hoped for better for the character he ends up marrying since I really liked her. I won't say who in case people don't want to be spoiled.
I also realized, slow as I am, that with the title being Bridgerton, obviously each new romance of each new season will be a different member of the family. Duh 
That said, I can't wait for it to be Colin's turn although Eloise should be fun as well! I like Benedict as little as Anthony but he will probably be next.

I kind of stumbled on a reality show from Japan called Old Enough. They send little kids, two and three year olds, to run an errand. They are sent off by their parents to go to the market. The might have a mental list of three items they are to purchase.
This isn't a corner store either. I think one of them was saying that the trip, or the store, was 2 km. They navigate intersections, cross roads etc. Of course there is always a cameraman following them so they aren't exactly alone. And once they arrive at the store they often ask for help to find the items they need. But it's absolutely amazing. They pay for the items. And then they carry them all the way back again.
While in other countries it is perfectly normal for little children to walk to school and back. Run errands unaccompanied, at a tender age. The age of two is pushing it a little bit. This show both made me cringe and laugh. Kids are really cute. They aren't really alone. But sometimes they get upset and cry because they drop whatever they went to get.
I was just reading an article on the show and it cracked me up. "Needless to say, if the show were set in the United States, the parents would be under investigation by child protective services, and the children in foster care". It was quite interesting to say the least

Just finished Bridgerton 2. I think I actually liked it better than one. I guess Benedict the other brother will probably be in the forefront next season. Will his romance be with a man, a woman, both?
