One of those movies where reality is sure to copy fiction in due course

Some of my earliest memories are from Eliz coming to Canada.
Really think the cast is excellent especially Matt Smith as Philip but the cast overall is top notch....Lithgow a good Churchill.
Quite soft production ...perhaps suitable to the content/period.
Waiting out my riding prohibition and it's rainy.

Mr. In-Between. I didn't know anything about it before watching it, aside from the basic description provided on the streaming platform I was using. I was NOT expecting the show to be so damn good.

Tatt! How ya been?

This is supposed to be quite good, based on some true found footage discovered in hills around Ancorage, Alaska next year

Incredible wordsmith…..think I’m doing some more reading to refresh

Apparently there is a new East of Eden in works for Netflix …7 episodes,

> Netflix is producing a limited series adaptation of John Steinbeck's "East of Eden", starring Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist, and Hoon Lee</mark>. The seven-episode series, written by [Zoe Kazan](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=f ... Zcg&csui=3), will offer a contemporary take on the multigenerational saga, focusing on the Trask family and Cathy Ames, the novel's antihero. Filming is currently underway in New Zealand.

Decent choice for Cathy

Netflix's East of Eden series is eyeing a Poor Things star to join the Florence Pugh-led project. John Steinbeck's 1952 novel was first adapted into the 1955 film directed by Elia Kazan and starring James Dean in his first major role as a troubled young man searching for his identity while competing for the affection of his deeply religious father with his favored brother. In 2022, after a competitive bidding war, Netflix acquired the rights to the East of Eden limited series with Florence Pugh starring and producing. Zoe Kazan, the granddaughter of Elia Kazan, is writing and executive producing.

Jennifer Lawrence had been cast but I think Pugh is closer to description. Just about 60% through the audio book...the production is very good with the voices

Started Grapes of Wraith a while ago. Put it down at some point and didn't pick it up again. I'm shit at reading these days. I prefer to doom scroll social media all night. Did the same with East of Eden many years ago.
