It almost made the book like a thriller. I was always so worried that she would run out of money and not be able to get her Snapple when she needed it. I really did not like the movie, the thrill just wasn't there on the screen for me.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-81591530063535725262016-12-26T19:20:12.225-05:002016-12-26T19:20:12.225-05:00Lisianpedia, thank you for the recommendation!
B...Lisianpedia, thank you for the recommendation! <br /><br />Billie, I have no idea what's going on. When I wrote this, it hadn't aired yet, and everything I read used the two LLs. But now I've seen a couple of episodes and the title card has just one L. <br /><br />Perhaps we've slipped into an alternate dimension in which the traditional US, UK, and Canadian spelling differences have been resolved.

I'm looking at the title screen, and it seems to be spelled with one L. Is it spelled with two L's in Canada and the UK?

I really liked the movie, althought it felt like it could benefit from better directing, but I'm not sure. But maybe it is in thel ines of what you are looking for.Lisianpeiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291993462387870535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-85648594463602154802016-12-26T02:28:19.426-05:002016-12-26T02:28:19.426-05:00Josie:

Speaking of Coherence, I'd recommend the book Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. While it doesn't feature the delightful Nicholas Brendon, it does have a very similar feel to it.topher darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975242320282969525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77438386206490159232016-12-25T09:21:26.044-05:002016-12-25T09:21:26.044-05:00Loved the theme of "more" on your list, ...Loved the theme of "more" on your list, Josie.<br /><br /><i>Coherence</i> is terrific. I don't think there is a problem adding it to a 2016 list because that movie is timeless. Or it should be. It should be more known. I know it's an indie movie and all, but I wish more people had at least heard of it. I'm always talking to my friends about it. A friend of mine told me he rewatched it taking notes to try to keep track of the, uh, exchanges. He failed. I might have to rewatch it myself before the year is over.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.com
