    Add a letter and ruin a movie. Okay. George Lucas gets the Dear John letter just as STAR WARS is wrapping. He takes it badly; a friend offers him "a little pick-me-up" at a party afterwards. His efforts to edit his movie go - poorly.

    Dear John is thought of as the dark Sullivan comedy but I’ve been watching Just Good Friends and it’s brutal. The circular hell of Penny and Vince in the TV series is bad enough but in the prequel film this is Penny smothering herself in tomato sauce in frustration at her doomed marriage.

    Dear John Serba @deciderdotcom.bsky.social Thanks for your review of Finnish film Little Siberia on Netflix. However, "Hurmevaara" as place name does not mean "Charmsville". Hurme is an older Finnish term for "blood". #Bloodsville "Vaara" is actually a forested hill. decider.com/2025/03/24/l...

    I just finished watching 1964 Academy Award-nominated film 'Käre John' ('Dear John' in English). This romantic drama is highly recommended for film enthusiasts. Interestingly, I recall the film generating buzz for its nude scenes, which was somewhat characteristic of Swedish cinema at the time
