You know the best part about doing the early Saturday Watchalong? I have to walk the dog sooooooooooo early that no one else is on the street and I don’t have to wear a mask. Such a treat.
Get your coffee, get your pancakes, get your cozy blanket, and snuggle up to watch Bobby Jasoos with all of us! It’s on Netflix, it’s pretty short, and it is very happy.
In a little bit at 7:30am, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment to start us all off, and then you can keep commenting along with me until we finish the film.

I feel like you could recognize your own kids. Like, there has to be something to genetics.

Two of my children look NOTHING like me, but they look like each other, so I would have figured it out for the second non-look-a-like if not for the first.

But do they look like your husband or anyone else in your family? I just feel like you can’t be starting from scratch completely! There’s got to be more than just birthmarks to help you recognize them.

They have my husbands eyes, in fact all the kids, even the one that looks kinda like me, have my husbands eyes. He has a dominant blue eye gene I guess. But I guess the truth is a lot of kids don’t really look anything like their parents when they are young because kid faces and adult faces are usually different. But the crux of the matter is, if I didn’t raise them, I don’t think I would know they were mine. The one that looks a little like me looks a lot like my brother did growing up, I might be able to pick him as a likely candidate for my child from a line up. After babyhood and toddlerhood I could probably pick out the others too, BUT dad’s don’t spend as much time with babies and toddlers. So it is still believable to me that the Dad wouldn’t immediately recognize them.

Also, if I have learned anything form movies, it is that THIS is why you need a family song!!!! You just wander the neighborhood singing the family song until your lost children hear and reappear. It works every time.

The censors are aware that the police were on the side of the killer so there’s nothing else you could have done.

In terms of religion, there’s also Sultan which I cling to. And in terms of women stuff, there’s Tumhari Sulu.
I would say it is more about the small budget low ambition movie that gives you space to experiment. And those movies are struggling with being too big for Netflix but too small for the wide release. I’m excited to see what the post-COVID film world looks like, I hope it has more space for them.

YES! Series and books are so much more fun when the couple is dating but not married (Janet Evonovich does this so well!) This would be perfect!

YES! Janet Evanovich really gets it. Although it’s also getting her into trouble, because as she gets past 20 books it relaly starts to feel strange that the relationships are just in a holding pattern. She’s gotta figure out a way to move them forward without moving them forward.

Just had a thought. That dude was really rich, and he made and sold paper. Kinda unbelievably rich for making and selling paper. And his paper operation couldn’t have been that big because he personally sold the paper to individual stationary stores.

I was assuming that it was high quality artisanal paper. Like, he left the country and started a company making paper in a traditional way and began selling it to exclusive retailers instead of local shops, and thus became rich?

Maybe if he smuggled drugs in the high end paper? How much would you pay for artisanal paper? But I don’t know. Maybe there is a lot more money in artisanal paper than I think.
