Wrap-up of your discussion of Shutter
Ooh, this was dark, y’all! In addition to the darkness, we (I) learned how cameras work—they are just boxes. Also, thanks to Bob, we learned that Linda McCartney was part of the Eastman family, so she had a lot of money before Paul. The history of the reservation created more layers of darkness. The storylines about family kept us on a brighter side.
Here’s a bit more about the Cottingley Fairies.
Here’s a bit more about ferries.
Quotes of the Discussion
“You’re already dead—give her a second.”
“You’re a drug runner and a bartender, and you have no people skills.”
Game of the Month:
We played It’ll Last Longer –Name that song title and/or artist who sang about photographs (and most answers were, indeed, “Photograph.”
ICYMI:
I used to wake up in the morning. I used to feel so bad. I got so sick of having sleepless nights. I went and told my dad.
Hey, Dad, what do you think about your son now?
So wild and free, so far from me—You’re all I want, my fantasy. (Oh!)
