And how I love your Benny Hill but with older women! But yes, they were caricatures of older women, right down to the excessive amount of wine swigging for every single mundane occasion - oh how that began to irritate.

I totally get it. <br />Glad Michael got a day out of the heat of the garden and also that there were some lines in there which he thought good from his perspective. But, no to the book from me too, I couldn't finish the first, so badly written and about stuff in which I have no interest. I'm afraid I haven't got into GoT, but TP read all the books and now is totally up to date with the series. <br />Thanks for popping in for a good old chat, speak soon, <br />Hugs x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-54036174713145499602018-06-12T00:08:18.751+01:002018-06-12T00:08:18.751+01:00I'm looking forward to seeing this too! xxI'm looking forward to seeing this too! xxVanity And Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724087064353830994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-26759851500711661532018-06-11T22:20:54.596+01:002018-06-11T22:20:54.596+01:00I went to see Book Club with my book club...and al...I went to see Book Club with my book club...and although I laughed in a few places, I hated it. The only bright spot for me was Candice Bergen who was funny and real and classic Candice Bergen. I thought they all played caricatures of women of a certain age, and of themselves, especially Keaton... who is much better than this movie. The jokes were so predictable.. kind of like Benny Hill but with older women.

My sort of holiday by the pool book I think. I wonder if it is a book. Probably you all know the answer and I'm being a bit dim. <br /><br />www.muttonstyle.com<br />Anna of Mutton Style and Yearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17123818835370240987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-71554312882281644772018-06-10T19:53:35.386+01:002018-06-10T19:53:35.386+01:00Well, like you, I did see "Book Club" wi...Well, like you, I did see "Book Club" with my significant other. I've probably would have not made the effort, but my friend, Diane, texted me that she finally made the connection, that Diane Keaton so reminded her of me (probably the hats I've worn over the years) and with that and the fact that is was a hot day and Michael didn't feel like working in the garden, he went with me (also, it was a good excuse to go out to eat afterwards).<br /><br />Honestly, I and we couldn't really relate to any of the characters. Except with the Diane Keaton and her two daughters who were reversing the mother/daughter roles. I have experienced some of that the last six years (it seem to start with retirement).<br /><br />Michael is a psychologist, so he always views these kind of movies as what was really realistic as far as advice, etc and did say there were a few good lines. <br /><br />Have I or will I ever read the 50? Nope, but I sure know a few who have. Heck, I haven't even finished my audio of George R.R, Martins' first Got (got three hours left) but have seen all of the HBO series, with the exception of the Red Wedding part-turned it off when they shut the doors and went on the the next episode. <br />OK That it, Terri xoxTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623141397526171772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-32976664550068978572018-06-10T16:39:57.761+01:002018-06-10T16:39:57.761+01:00I won't be seeing Solo any time soon.

I hadn't seen any Star Wars films until I met Mr Mutton and I'm now emphatic that I don't like fantasy things or anything with swords, round tables, hobbits, Jedi or Harrison Ford. But I do like Game of Thrones and things with aliens in.<br /><br />I have misgivings about Book Club. I read it has lots of references to 50 Shades of Grey. Noooo! And somehow films about older people in are always a bit twee or cutesy, even if one of them is inevitably "a bit of a goer." Having said that I'll probably watch it when it's on TV.
