You have a Sauce for this? You seem to be on it?
Lies!!
My sandwich was just some lowcarb bread (Sola brand, the oatmeal one) and 18 seconds of microwave used on three slices of already cooked bacon. This is what my life has become.
Oh, and that Kraft brand salad dressing, the one with the green lid.
Anyway, during that 18 second interval, this BS popped in there.
And while posting it, an old ‘treason song’ Clannad used to do, “Bhean A Tí” (Woman Of The House what ails you) popped in behind it.
So, I guess what I’m saying is, my associative memory is weird, even to me.
Mmmmmmm! Now I’m getting hungry again...
The original was one of the GOAT movies/stories...
In some sense, it almost seems like Donald Trump’s journey back to the WH...
Saw The Count of Monte Cristo movie produced by a French studio, starring Pierre Niney which was released in 2024. It’s almost 3 hours long. Also watched the TV mini series with Sam Claflin that was released in 2025. It consists of 8 episodes. I enjoyed both.
I’m sure I saw a b&w televised movie version that was so old that the extras were Civil War veterans — the English Civil War. :^) Maybe this one?

😂
Not sure if I saw that one. Maybe it was on Turner Classic Movies. I remember seeing the 1975 TV film with Richard Chamberlain and the 2002 film version with Jim Caviezel.
I’m not sure the one I saw was actually in B&W — we had a B&W tv set until sometime after 1974. And of course, until UHF, there were exactly three channels available. And there was more to watch. :^)
Wow, there have been a lot of ‘em:

The movie version (2002) with Jim Caviezel was pretty good.
I liked that one too. He was a heart throb Count.
Yes indeed...
I love movies based on a well-written story, and “acting” rather than “effects”...
It gave hope to all of us stuck at Leavenworth.
Yep. I think that was the first time I saw Jim in anything. Then he went on to do the TV series Person of Interest.
Yeah, it’s like the Jane Austen novels...somebody keeps doing remakes of them.
