Wes Craven recommended The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) in Movies (curated)

"This really scared me coming out of it. You knew it was made for 10 cents – that was obvious – but it actually had some fabulous performances. Some of the moments – like when Leatherface kicks open the door and comes after them – I mean your blood just runs cold. It was just amazingly visceral visual storytelling. A few years earlier, I was at college and I wrote a synopsis for a novel and my teacher feedback was “this would make a great movie!” And I was crestfallen, but it made me realise I had a great visual imagination as well, and for years I fought it but eventually realised that was the thing I could do"

Book Favorite

"I am 77 years old and feeling better than ever. This book has proved to me that longevity has everything to do with one’s state of mind. I just make sure to release all my anger and resentment whenever it hits me, and take a walk. I also dance in my mind to keep myself in good health. Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life. The best advice is to do three things a day to make somebody happy. Do that for three months, and your life will be totally changed. These 77 years are just a prelude to my life!"

Blake Anderson recommended Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 by Young Jeezy in Music (curated)

"This is more for a specific time in my life. It just brings me back to a really specific couple of years. For about four or five years all I was doing was delivering pizza before we got the show. I was pizza trapping for sure. That album is exactly that, thug motivation. I wasn’t trapping I was out there slinging pizzas and that was my bible. I was thinking, ‘This isn’t it. You got to hustle.’ It was the motion picture soundtrack to not settle, keep working towards an ultimate goal. I haven’t listened to that album in a while. I have to pop it back in. That was my pizza slangin’ soundtrack."

The stunts

When I first watched the first fast and furious movie 20 years ago that 20 years later I would now be watching the 9th in the franchise I've been a fan of the movies for so long the only time wasn't a fan probably Tokyo drift for me the worst of the nine. Anyway to the movie the movie has it all some amazing car stunts which gets better with every movie. John cena Is good addition to the franchise playing doms brother leaving it open for him to come back for fast 10 when it gets made make sure u stay for the credits extra which I won't give away here

Run its course

One of the weakest series so far. After 12 years and series this show has really gone as far as it can now, although a new 13th series is coming.
This series has a lot of the original cast reduced to cameo appearances pretty much. As a series apart from the last 5 episodes which generally feature a strong storyline through them, the early episodes weren't that interesting. I'm surprised there will be a new series as it seems more of the main cast won't feature next time. It's got to the point now it's just the same show it was a few years ago.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield in Books

Jan 11, 2021

3.75 stars. 4 stars for the first half, 3.5 stars for the second.

The author came out with a lot of wise words/phrases/comments in this book and made Charlotte seem older than her years but I guess she'd been through a lot in those 19 years .

I have to say that I might have liked it a little more if the story had ended after the 'I love yous' were spoken but at the same time I liked how the author wrote the rest of the story too. How not everyone was as bad as they came across initially and how every little side story got an ending.

I liked it.
