June Wraps
Monday, June 29, 2020 at 6:00PM In June we lost Joel Schumacher & Sir Ian Holm but the month wasn't all bad.

We'll celebrate Yul Brynner's Centennial, do a retrospective of the 1991 film year, and at the end of the month the 1991 Smackdown + the Emmy nominations hit.

June wasn't bad, but I have a feeling that Nathaniel could single-handedly make July Bette-r. ;)
Edna who goes by different names every day to try to force Seasons of Bette to return -- keep dreaming. It's a Smackdown summer!
I know it's a smackdown summer, and all in all a very odd year but any chance of finishing the April Foolish predictions? Only the actors to do, shouldn't take too long.
Then you'll have enough time the rest of this years remaining"Seasons" to find usages "of" your time for "Bette-r" things.
It was inevitable, but the first of the 200 has died. #7 Carl Reiner, one of the very greatest by any standard.
Ken -- yes, sad news to wake up to.
Lol .... yeah lets nag and poke Nathaniel a bit ... you can still be a fool in July ;) ... the problem is I'm not interested in other predictions then the once I get from you here on TFE.
Good month - just not sure about wanting to watch 'Da 5 Bloods' despite the award buzz. But saying that, I felt the same about "1917" - which turned out to be MY biggest surprise and one of my favourites of 2019 (the one shot really got me full on ;)
