If it will help speed things up...

Hi all!! I know I've been away from the forums for a while. in fairness,  I adopted a puppy last fall so my movie watching has been interrupted by play and training.  (she's on Insta at @Frida_von_schmiegen). I"m excited to jump back in with something I just noticed is streaming on Netflix. I have some backups if we've done this one, but my pick is....

Purple Rain!

ETA - Thanks Cameron for the heads-up that it was my turn

I like it!  I remember seeing it in the theaters when it came out.  Took a date to it.

I went to a Prince tribute concert a few weeks back that was filmed for TV. It was pretty awesome, check the line-up

Awesome pick! I have actually never seen this and nearly bought it couple months back.

Congrats on the puppy! I’m glad you’re back  

ETA: Frida is adorbs!

Soulful remake (yeah, right)

Guess this is my cue to sign back up with Netflix for a month or so.  There's a show I want to at least sample (GLOW - I have a crush on Betty Gilpin).

WOW!  I got a free month with Netflix even though I'm a previous subscriber.  Very cool!

Definitely watch GLOW. 

This reminds me. I accidentally signed up for a month of Amazon Prime. What Prime originals should I watch this month before I cancel it? I obviously started with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I'm watching Fleabag already.

I loved The Boys once I finished the final episode of Season 1.

[GrahamS. 803]

I was going to recommend The Boys as well, even though I haven’t finished the season yet. Also Homecoming—from the creator of Mr. Robot and based on an excellent podcast—is supposed to be good.

I’m looking forward to watching Purple Rain. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but I remember it being a good match of performer and material.

It’s certainly not beyond criticism, but I’ll never tire of watching Prince perform. I rewatched it this weekend and it made me cry though I’m not a cryer. I just still am so sad he’s no longer with us.

How did the date work out? Should I watch as a date or alone?

Great question

That is a great question.  If you can see it as a date do that.  I think it has more impact when you're seeing it with someone.  My date was uneventful (though I tried) but I still have fond memories of the event and the movie.  I will be seeing it as a date (if you can count my two cats as my dates).

Addendum: A little while later I was dating a lady.  We went to a Christmas party where we were the main attraction (for being a couple in a nerdy group, the group we met in).  I asked the DJ to play the second side of the Purple Rain album and he made it a spotlight dance so only we could dance.  That wasn't what I intended and we didn't make it through all the songs.
