Juliet, Naked: My take on the book by Nick Hornby #review

Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby Connect with me on Instagram @ChapterOneTakeOne I enjoyed reading Nick Hornby’s Juliet, Naked although neglecting to write up my thoughts immediately after finishing the book, I gave up on writing a proper review. The movie opens this Friday on August 17th so let me give it a whirl. The screen adaptation of Juliet, Naked stars Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke and Chris O'Dowd Duncan is an obsessed music fan, not of the current sounds being blasted on the airwaves mind you, but the sounds of yesteryear. In particular, he is devoted to a now-reclusive rocker by the name of Tucker Crowe (an unfortunate name as I have to rid my mind of Tucker Carlson before I can go on. Knowing the character is played by Ethan Hawke in the film helps.) Duncan indulges his devotion by running a website that has his fellow devotees weighing in on the man and the music 24/7. His long-suffering girlfriend—Tucker is all the man thinks about: On a trip from the UK

Jane Fonda's big fake boobs and 5 more things you need to know about the movie 'This is Where I Leave You'

I really can't wait to see the adaptation of Jonathan Tropper's This is Where I Leave You which I discovered and blogged about a year ago . It's mostly because I'm a major fan of the legendary Jane Fonda who stars as Hillary Foxman, the celebrity child shrink who compels her family to sit shiva after her husband and the father of their four adult children dies. Sitting shiva, fyi dear gentile readers, is the traditional Jewish way to mourn the death of a close family member, and calls for the family to gather together for 7 days (shiva = seven) while friends and other relatives come, often bearing food, to pay their respects and share memories. Seven days together with your family. In the case of the Foxmans, the four adult children -Judd (Jason Bateman), Wendy (Tina Fey), Phillip (Adam Driver) and Paul (Corey Stoll) - come in various stages of reluctance and wariness, depending on their personal baggage, which they all bring in spades. The truth is I kind of

Amy Adams IS The Woman in the Window: Trailer

Just when I thought it was safe to back to blogging ... the subscription widget I was using is going away! Which means while usually I only feel like I’m talking to myself when I blog, come this summer I really will be. Without feedburner, my book-to-movie content will just sit here, withering away, unread, unloved in the vast desert where failed blogs go to die. That’s fine. Even before COVID hit I was spending less and less time here and more and more time tinkering away at a novel of my own I just didn’t have the creative energy to pour into Chapter1-Take1 any longer. What I’d like to do—besides have my novel published—is invite you to check out my personal website SimCarter.com. If you decide to follow me there via TinyLetter I can pretty much guarantee I won’t intrude on your already overcrowded inbox more than once—maybe twice—a month. So this is my “Hey! Good to see you and oh, by the way, Goodbye” post but before I go, a book to movie adaptation that’s coming to Netflix
