Today in Sunday Snippets 7.27.25…

It’s hot here, as we’re nearing August. Now I’m looking forward to fall weather. We won’t have that till probably sometime in November.

My friend Rhonda and I went to a few thrift stores and antique malls. That was fun.

Kendra’s Job Doing A Coffee Bar Addition:

Kendra finished a coffee bar job for a woman she knows. She usually doesn’t do this type of work, but did it as a special favor for her.

This was a quick pic she took on her way out, as she completed the job while the woman was on vacation. The job was $20,000.

2 Movies I Watched This Week:

Fear Of Rain:

In the movie, Fear of Rain, a girl living with schizophrenia struggles with terrifying hallucinations as she begins to suspect her neighbor has kidnapped a child. The only person who believes her is Caleb, a boy she isn’t even sure exists.

Life After You: Everything in the Lajterman’s life was good. They had three healthy kids, successful jobs, and a community of neighbors and friends with whom they interacted regularly. When they find their youngest son, Danny, dead in his bedroom from an overdose, their entire world is turned upside-down.

What Series I’m Streaming:

I watched the last few episodes of Animal Kingdom yesterday.

Animal Kingdom revolves around Joshua “J” Cody, a 17-year-old who moves in with his estranged, criminal family in Southern California after his mother dies of a drug overdose.

Mindhunter:

Then I began watching Mindhunter, set in the 1970s, and ended up watching 3-hour-long episodes on Netflix. It’s excellent! Too bad they stopped at 2 seasons.

In an article last week, “Mindhunter” star Holt McCallany revealed that he has spoken with David Fincher about the potential return of the acclaimed Netflix serial killer drama, which ran for two seasons in 2017 and 2020. The show centered on FBI agents in the late 1970s as they launched a task force to interview serial killers as a way of understanding their pathology.

If “Mindhunter” does return, however, it won’t be as a series. McCallany said there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies.

Holt McCallany is in the new Netflix series The Waterfront.

What It’s About:

Catching a criminal often requires the authorities to gain insight into the villain’s mind to understand how they think. That’s the job of FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench. They attempt to understand and catch serial killers by studying their damaged psyches.

Along the way, the agents pioneer the development of modern serial-killer profiling. The crime drama boasts a strong pedigree behind the camera, with Oscar-nominated director David Fincher and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron among its executive producers.

The Book I’m Reading:

In the novel, She’s Gone, by David Bell, 17-year-old Hunter Gifford wakes in the hospital on the night of homecoming. He’s shocked to learn he and his girlfriend, Chloe Summers, have been in a terrible car accident. Hunter has no memory of the crash, and his shock turns to horror when he is told Chloe’s blood has been found in the car―but she has disappeared.

Back at school, his fellow students taunt him, and his former best friend begins making a true-crime documentary about the case — one that points the finger directly at Hunter. And just when things can’t get any worse, Chloe’s mother stands in front of the entire town at a candlelight vigil and accuses Hunter of murder.

Under mounting pressure from the police, Hunter takes matters into his own hands by questioning anyone who might know the truth and posting videos to prove his innocence. When Hunter learns that he and Chloe were seen arguing loudly outside the dance, he faces a sickening possibility. Was he angry enough to kill the person he loved?
