Thoughts, links, and project updates

I just found out about a movie called “Titanic II” Mom was watching it downstairs… It had just started. She wanted to watch it together, but there is nowhere to sit. I wish she had her old bedroom then we could have.. She always watches good movies. This movie is 11 years old and I never heard of it until now. crazy when you think about it.

It doesn’t have good reviews at all. Someone said in the movie’s YouTube comments that he had a bigger monthly grocery budget than this film had to produce the movie.

You can watch it for free on Youtube… It’s also on Amazon Prime but it’s a separate subscription… which is very aggravating.

I added it to the watch list.

I watched “Princess Margaret: Rebel Without a Crown – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube.. It took me a few hours to watch it, because I was doing other things… so I rewound a lot….

This is the first documentary on the Royals that featured Princess Margaret… I did not know much about her. When she was younger, it was hard for me to tell the difference between her and her sister Queen Elizabeth.. It appeared as though the queen took care of her little sister and looked after her.. So that made me feel good.. We should always be there for our family… so many people turn their back and abandon the people who love them.. I always wondered how people who do such things sleep at night.

The people who were interviewed, did not speak very highly of her really.. They spoke of how snobbish and difficult she was.

I’ve watched a lot of documentaries on the British royal family.. It’s sad to see family members that you know have passed on.. When you watch enough of these, you also notice how people’s physical appearance changes. I believe Queen Elizabeth is the last person or one of the last people of her generation who is still living. I don’t even want to think about still being around if all of the people that were in my life the longest we’re gone.. when my time has expired here.

Life is indeed fleeting, we are here one day and gone the next..

I just got through watching “Lucy and Desi” It was a documentary about the couple and the media empire they started together. I had no idea how dignity they really were in Hollywood. If course, I’ve heard of “The Lucy Ball Show” but I just always thought of it as just an old show from the 50’s…. and never gave it much thought.

I also didn’t realize that Lucy and Desi were divoy after being married 20 years and had their own studio…. Where several shows were filmed.. Their daughter said they were married to their second spouses longer than they were married to each other. They had two children, who gave interviews.

They played tapes that Lucy had recorded a journal of sorts on…. I thought that was pretty neat.

Lucille Ball was born in 1911 and died in 1989. Desi was born in 1917 and died in 1986.

What a story!

Joan Collins is in her 90s and still working. What an inspiration. She’s made two recent movies, “A Murder Between Friends” and “My Dutchess”. The latter being about Wallis Simpson..

A couple of months ago I stumbled onto a reality TV show that Latoya Jackson did. I watched an episode where she  moved into a hotel while she looked for a house to buy. She was also exploring getting back on the dating scene… She had not been on a date since 1996, 14 years when this aired in 2010.

She’s such a neat person. You can watch episodes on YouTube, I’m not sure how many there are though.
