Black Doves on Netflix, a spy thriller with Keira Knightley as a kickass action star & Sarah Lancashire doing her best imitation of Judy Dench as "M", the head of this particular group of spies. She says she sells information to the highest bidder but she isn't into murder.

Black Doves, spy/thriller, kickass female spy who in her off time is a wife & mother. Sarah Lancashire, giving her best Judy Dench as M impression, yes, she's the leader of these particular spies. Almost immediately she tells us she sells information to the highest bidder. She continues & claims that she's not into murder. 

Somehow a lot of people get killed. 

Anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying it. 

I hope I'm not repeating myself.

There's a newish documentary out on Faye Dunaway, FAYE, and if you like bio type docs, it is an excellent one! Among other things she says she always tries to give something different on each & every take! After watching it I had to re-watch 2 movies! NETWORK & HURRY SUNDOWN. I think of the second one as a kind of South exploitation & it has in it the quote, "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice" which is also a famous line out of the Harlem Renaissance. Both are older movies. NETWORK is from 1976 but it was so ahead of its time then, that now it doesn't seem dated. It continues to be one of my favorite movies. The most famous line from it is "I'm as mad as hell & I'm not going to take it anymore." - Howard, NETWORK 1976 But my personal favorite line from it is "This is the story of Howard Beale, the first person known to be killed because he had lousy ratings." - news announcer, NETWORK 1976

    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
    • I figure that was really hard for Dom to do. I completely GET why they wrote it the way they did but I wonder if it was necessary. Meanwhile I have 2 really icky ideas in my head. Drew is going to blame Tracy KNOWING it was not her. Dante is going to blame Lulu.  After that, everyone else is going to be mad at Lois.  Tracy is going to double down on wanting to get rid of Sonny. Sonny's going to be more dug in to stay because he now has a new descendant. 
    • I can actually buy Brook Lynn being so self-absorbed and incurious that she never thought to question why her mom and grandma were so attached to Gio. 
    • It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up?  Ever?
    • Thanks for finding that. I may have been thinking of this blog entry.
