What’s a romance movie that you wish was longer?
One Fine Day is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I always wish we got more. I get the point is that it all only takes place in one day, but Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney have such great chemistry that I easily could have watched another half hour of them. I want to know what happened next, lol
Here’s my first memory of Kyle MacLachlan (I was born in ‘85, so too young for Twin Peaks, lol)
And yes, that’s Halle Berry. This was also my first exposure to her, lol

Broke (2020)
Pauley Perrette (NCIS) played a single mother whose rich sister (along with her husband and his assistant) had to move in with her after the husband’s trust fund gets cut off.
It had the misfortune of premiering in April 2020, just a few weeks into the pandemic. It got canceled three months later. Shortly after the cancellation, Pauley Perrette retired from acting.
Melissa Joan Hart in a Rice Krispies commercial around 1980/81…….

Hidden Passions
Anybody remember the book Hidden Passions? There was a storyline where Timmy took Tabitha’s diaries and had them published into a book. The first part of the book took place in 1976 and featured Sam and Ivy’s romance, her marriage to Julian, Eve’s relationship with Julian, her time working as a jazz singer, and a bunch of other stuff. The second part took place in 1980 and featured Sam meeting Grace plus Eve meeting T.C.
Since the book was written during the second season of Passions, some of the details wound up being contradicted on the show. (For example, Eve is an only child from an upper middle class family in New England in the book, but on the TV show she’s from the south and has a younger half-sister.)
My local library had the book and I must have checked it out at least a hundred times. In fact, I was probably the only person in my library who checked it out, lol
