Well, this is my mom's reaction to this crazy, disturbing TV show 😂. We only watched two out of the five seasons before we said enough.

Does anyone recall my post about when my mom accidentally purchased this “complete“ series? I will attach a link to that original post.

She had believed this to be a supernatural series from the late 1980s...

👇🏼

We usually donate DVDs & books that we don't like.

My mom didn't want this insane TV show to end up in the wrong hands...

This was her review 😂.

JenlovesJT47 I‘m screenshotting this so I can find the 80s version! I do love the remake. I binged the first season in 36 hours 😬😆 I love anything in the Psycho universe. The original movie is a masterpiece and imo all 3 sequels are solid, especially 2 & 4. 2 is probably the best sequel for a horror movie I‘ve seen (at least one that‘s so popular!). What did you personally think of the Bates Motel remake? Your mom sounds a lot like my Grandma. When she ⬇️ 20h
JenlovesJT47 Didn‘t like something she REALLY didn‘t like it! 😅😅😅 wanted it gone from her presence. My mom is the same way! ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for this. 🤗 20h
IriDas Im with her and I only saw the ads for it. 🤣 20h
AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 😂 it's just too realistic. With everything that is going on in America...

Also my mom still believes in Fairy Tales.

She can binge watch Grimm and Lucifer over and again 🪄🎬.

Right now she's binge watching the TV show, Joan of Arcadia to calm herself down from the craziness of Bates 😂🎬💝.

You know, when U.S. agents first began terrorizing our streets, there was one really chaotic day of protests in the city of Los Angeles.

But Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom immediately worked to deescalate the chaos.

The following days weren't pretty, but many agitators were arrested, and the days became better and better.

I fully expected for Hollywood and celebrities across the board to join the mostly peaceful “No king Protests.“

👇

AnnCrystal 👇

Admittedly, I'm not the best at following celebrities. Has anyone noticed social media posts by those of Hollywood?? Has the news just been too busy to cover Hollywood's opinion??

I have noted Cheech Marin & Nezza (Vanessa Hernández), speaking out.

But agents, who are often masked and lacking unidentifiable uniforms, are stalking the streets of the Entertainment Capital of the World...

...and after the actions that Little t took yesterday...

Why isn't more of Hollywood using the power of their voice to speak out for their fans??

TheBookHippie I do know Glennon Doyle& Abby Warmuth were at the protest as was the writer Juliet McDaniel and a lot of her cast from Palm Royal… actually a lot of writers were there also Conan O Brien got the Mark Twain award at Kennedy center and instead of canceling he used the night to denounce Trump and so did every guest he invited. It‘s on Netflix. I know there‘s more I will ask Juliet she‘s a friend of mine. Pussy Riot OF COURSE. (edited) 1w

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal we have to remember the media is refusing to report. Even in my town they report nothing. We had over 5000 ppl for NoKings. In a tiny town. Nada no news on TV, newspapers nothing… it‘s intentional they want you to feel alone. We aren‘t. 1w
AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie 5000! I LOVE hearing about these nokings protests numbers 👏🏼🥳✊🏼.

We've noticed that TV news coverage has seemingly become less and less informative, scary. Although here in LA they seem better than what I've read about in other states...

I'm incredibly thankful for your Hollywood/Celebrities insight here today. It is a relief knowing that many impactful people ARE indeed using their Star Power 👏🏼🥳✊🏼🌟💝.

Learned about Rough Haiku from @dabbe on @Jari-chan Haiku post.

Did some research and had to give it a try.

Went with a 5-5-5 to tie in with my Haiku's theme. 555 for the fictional phone numbers used in movies and TV.

👇

AnnCrystal My long history of Movie/TV crushes all began soon after I learned how to read...my mom used silent movies to teach me and I discovered Rudolph Valentino 😍🎬💝.

His phone number would probably have more closely resembled, “Pennsylvania 6-5000“ but that's beside the point 😂.

Raymond Burr was gay? This makes the fourth Gay Hunk that I've crushed on 😂🤔, I blame those stunning eyes of his.

How have I been a fan for so long and not known about this fact?

I found it tragic that Burr had to hide his relationship with his partner, of 35+ years, Robert Benevides.

As a Perry Mason fan, I want to publicly post a toast to the actor who made the Perry Mason character a Hollywood legend and the one who was his partner.

👇

AnnCrystal Raymond Burr and Robert Benevides, may you two have reunited in the hereafter and discovered that your love for each other remains alive. May the two of you forevermore be happy together.

I hope to one day visit the vineyard you began as a couple, and (even though I don't drink) properly sip a toast to you both with Raymond Burr wine.

Alway a fan 🥂💝.

AnnCrystal @kspenmoll 👏🏼🥳📺💝. Love that. I introduced Perry Mason to my mom, we both just love his show no matter how many times we've watched each episode before 📺💝. 1mo
AnnCrystal @dabbe Truly. I found it tragic that he had to lie and make up stories about his personal life.

He gifted us with his incredible acting talent 🏆🎭 and I can't believe how he would have been lost to Hollywood if people had known back then.

The story of the two, Bate Motels.

My mom always told me about a Bates Motel series from 1987. It had supernatural elements and was all so good!

A few weeks ago my mom found this complete series of the Bates Motel. We were so excited to find this, and I was thrilled to finally be able to watch this supernatural series I grew up hearing about.

👇

AnnCrystal We were extra excited that they obviously continued the series because the collection contained five whole seasons.

When I questioned about how “new“ it looked, we wrote it off as being remastered...until after about thirty minutes into the first episode...

A quick web search explained what exactly it was that we were watching 😂. A&E made a new Bates Motel, and it was a modernized backstory for the original movie. No ghost, just...a thriller.👇

Thankfully I was able to mail order the 1980s version to surprise my mom for her birthday 🥳🎁💝.

AnnCrystal The 1980s version was incredible, just as it had been described to me. Laced with the supernatural instead of murder. Too bad it didn't make it. Perhaps if the story had been a bit more to-the-point at the beginning it would have captured more of an audience.

AnnCrystal Well, we're still watching the new Bates Motel...while not our type of story, the drama caught us and it has become like an addictive soap opera...one we have to fast forward a lot, but good nonetheless. Although, it would have been better with ghost!

JenlovesJT47 That‘s so awesome! I love the Psycho franchise. Bates Motel is great. And the Psycho sequels are actually pretty decent for sequels, especially the second one. I‘ll have to track this down! 🤗💛🐝 2mo

Anyone else excited about this new series? 📺🔍🧐🔎🥳 Seems like the show is going to have a strong female leading character.

Haven't been this excited about a Sherlock book (influenced) to TV adaptation since the 2016 Houdini & Doyle, which was a historical-fiction based on Doyle's relationship with Houdini and not so much about Doyle's character, Sherlock.

This special was incredible. An amazing tribute to his father and a journey of healing for himself.

🦸‍♂️💝.

DogMomIrene Haven‘t seen this, but the documentary Super Man on HBO was fantastic. Adding this one to my watch list. 4mo
AnnCrystal 🦸‍♂️🎬👏🏼💝 @DogMomIrene I haven't seen the HBO documentary! It must have been really good.

This was sweet. Christopher's youngest son follows the journey his father made on his last journey before the tragedy. I knew that Christopher Reeve advocated for medical advancement in finding a cure that could help him and others, yet hadn't realized that he had been an avid adventurer and an environmentalist.

Nothing like the Magic of Disney to calm the worry about what tomorrow might bring.

ABC showed the new Beauty & The Beast tonight! Could never find this on DVD, and we were absolutely thrilled!

A grown up version of the childhood animated classic.

Incredible movie that goes directly onto my all-time favorites list.

🎬🥀💝.
