You’re probably right. Both parents really failed by forgetting their son’s birthday.
BTW, they’ve mostly dropped the more interesting aspect of the show; Ray cleaning up the messes of Hollywood elite. That was the part of the show that was a little bit interesting (as sort of a voyeuristic look at Hollywood excess).
Every time I see Liev Schreiber, I can’t help but think they could switch his head with a block of cement and no one would notice the difference. Am I being unfair?
She’s 50 and probably went from 105 to 108 up to 120 to 123 naturally. If she firmed up, she would look smaller. She’s not huge, just fleshy.
I could believe that her weight is those three digits, but not in that order. Maybe 213.
Directed by Liev Schreiber…
This week’s episode didn’t have the dysfunctional, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” feel of last week’s, but it was great nonetheless.
Helluva finish…
The whole dispute between Rekon and Cookie over Marvin was really icky. They didn’t talk about him in child custody terms, but terms of ownership.
That’s certainly true with Lee Drexler, Cookie and Ray but I thought Re-Kon had real affection for him. I thought those two, Marvin and Re-Kon were the most sympathetic of the characters so probably I should have seen that coming :smack:
Couldn’t find it on TVTropes, but isn’t it a cliche that right after a character - typically sitting in a car - (Rekon in this case) mentions how everything is peachy-keen in the world now and has a completely content look on their face, that they’re gunned down or involved in a horrible car crash in the next instant?
She would have to eat another cast member to weigh 213.
Yeah, it’s a pretty sad indictment of the way TV distorts some people’s expectations that anyone could believe that 5’4" Sherilyn Fenn weighs over 200 pounds just because she’s a bit chunkier than she was 25 years ago.
She looks 200+ pounds to me in the following clip, but I suppose it could be just a bad look from the lingerie she’s wearing.
Spoiled because this is a link to the swingers sex scene, with nudity from Andrea Bogart:Andrea Bogart, Sherlyn Fenn, Brooke Smith - Ray DonovanSpecifically, at 21 seconds and again at 1:01.
I knew instantly that they were going to die, and when Ray’s daughter laid down in the back seat it was confirmation. They could have directed that scene so much better.
I’m also wondering if Ray’s Mercedes CLS 550 belongs to one of the show’s Producers. There’s so many loving, lingering shots of that car in every episode that it’s comical.
More likely a sponsored product placement.
Reminds of one of my very favorite Sopranos scenes…
Heh - no I mean that’s the producer’s actual car. It’s not like there’s other Mercedes all over the place, (none of the other characters have one), just that one make and model.
But that’s all they need: one car, featured prominently.
I’m with Ellis Dee on this. I reckon that Mercedes provides the car, and perhaps some financial consideration, on the understanding that the car will be the main form of transportation for the show’s main character, and that it will appear in X number of scenes over the course of the season.
I still don’t think that Sherilynn Fenn looks anywhere near 200 pounds, though, even in those scenes that Ellis Dee posted.
Oh, yes. It’s that sort of thing (the blatant contrivances) that keep this show from being mentioned in the ranks of the ‘new golden age of television drama.’
Just bad: the writing and the direction. I’m not saying it’s the worst show on TV…it’s very far from that. But it’s frustrating to see the mistakes made, given the other assets the show has (good cast; decent budget; workable premise, etc.)
The storylines on this show are just TOO implausible. They belie belief. Very bad season 2.
