Gilmore Girls is coming to Netflix!

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard something this week about the possibility of new Gilmore Girls episodes.  My Facebook feed erupted today with everyone and everything talking about it.

So of course, I had to look into it. And what I found sounds promising for us fans!

According to TV Line and  The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has reportedly closed a deal with Warner Bros. for a limited run revival of Gilmore Girls, which would be penned by creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Dan Palladino. Unlike previous GG seasons, which had the full 22 episodes or so, and unlike other Netflix exclusives that have between 10-12 episodes,  this limited run would only be four 90-minute long episodes, or “mini movies.” While most series seem to come back to brand-new seasons, this would essentially serve as the goodbye it deserved — and a closure to all those wondering what happened to the characters.

Sometimes movies do get to you.

So I decided to have myself a little movie night last night.  I watched two movies I’d seen before, and then I decided that I wanted to watch something different.  So off I went to Netflix, and I picked one of the new-ish ones on there that sounded interesting to me. So I ended up watching a movie called “The Stoning of Soraya M.”

Now, this may seem like common sense just by reading the title, but it honestly never crossed my mind that this movie wouldn’t have a happy ending.  Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention??

In any case, I watched it.

Now, this movie is in no way the best ever made, or the most violent or gory, or the most anything, really.  But it really got to me.  I didn’t expect to cry through the last 15 minutes.  Once I got into it, it was obvious how it would end, and still I prayed and hoped that it could be different.
