Today (Thurs.) was Lil Girl Rodzinski’s 5th birthday. I have no more babies, just big kids. One neat thing is that Dolly Parton will send your kid a new, free book every month until they are 5. So we got the last book with a farewell message from Dolly, and it made me sad.

We took the birthday girl to a movie as was her wish. A kids movie called “Mummies.” It was the only kids movie we could find. Kind of peculiar, Spanish-made animated movie. Not a single actor I’ve heard of as voice talent, which I actually appreciate because famous people take me out of the picture. The two leads are actually great, expressive, gorgeous. The villain is so hateful though, like an evil cross between Terry-Thomas and John Cleese. You really hate every moment he’s on screen. Not in a good way.

There’s a whole sequence where the two ancient mummies brought to modern times infiltrate a London production of AIDA. Completely bizarre. We were 4 of 7 people in the theater, so this thing is quite under the radar. 

Anyway, I saw a movie, which is rare anymore.

Oh! I watched a movie on the flight home. “Get Out,” which I had wanted to see when it came out. More Twilight Zone-y than true horror. Great acting. Some legitimate great, creepy scenes. Kind of silly too.

Then I tried Jordan Peele’s follow-up, “Nope,” and couldn’t get into it. I noped out of that one, as the kids say.

I slept well for about half the night. Then I had a dream about an actor, 10 years younger than I, with whom I had a really messed up romantic relationship between late 1979 and 1986 or so, when he moved to Los Angeles. The dream was quite weird; it took place in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Middletown, Ohio, clearly many years later than 1986, but we were still around 23 and 33 or so. When I woke, it was 2:28am, Annabelle, Stella, and Thatch were all sleeping around me, and after I wept a bit for les temps perdus, I could not get back to sleep.

Here is the opening of Jesse Green's review of Bad Cinderella in The New York Times:
= = = = = = =

First: Bring earplugs.

Not just because the songs in “Bad Cinderella,” the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that opened on Thursday at the Imperial Theater, are so crushingly loud. The dialogue, too, would benefit from inaudibility.

For that matter, bring eye plugs: The sets and costumes are as loud as the songs.

If there were such a thing as soul plugs, I’d recommend them as well.

That’s because “Bad Cinderella” is not the clever, high-spirited revamp you might have expected, casting contemporary fairy dust on the classic story of love and slippers. It has none of the grit of the Grimm tale, the sweetness of the Disney movie or the grace (let alone the melodic delight) of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Instead, it’s surprisingly vulgar, sexed-up and dumbed-down: a parade of hustling women in bustiers and shirtless pec-rippling hunks.

Finally, a Cinderella for streetwalkers and gym rats!

Here is the opening of Jesse Green's review of Bad Cinderella in The New York Times:
= = = = = = =

First: Bring earplugs.

Not just because the songs in “Bad Cinderella,” the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that opened on Thursday at the Imperial Theater, are so crushingly loud. The dialogue, too, would benefit from inaudibility.

For that matter, bring eye plugs: The sets and costumes are as loud as the songs.

If there were such a thing as soul plugs, I’d recommend them as well.

That’s because “Bad Cinderella” is not the clever, high-spirited revamp you might have expected, casting contemporary fairy dust on the classic story of love and slippers. It has none of the grit of the Grimm tale, the sweetness of the Disney movie or the grace (let alone the melodic delight) of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Instead, it’s surprisingly vulgar, sexed-up and dumbed-down: a parade of hustling women in bustiers and shirtless pec-rippling hunks.

Finally, a Cinderella for streetwalkers and gym rats!

That is very nice of Dolly.

Florida Teacher: Rosa Parks was ordered to sit in the back of the bus.
Student: Why?
Teacher: We're not allowed to tell you. But that act of defiance led to a movement for equal rights.
Student: Rights for whom?
Teacher: We're not allowed to tell you.


The next generation will know nothing.

I began watching season four episodes of Perry Mason. They're fun and the casts are always fascinating - in episode one from 1960, some newcomer named Robert Redford. In episode thirteen from that season, some newcomer named James Coburn plus the added fun of Muse Margaret's always-working daddy, Dave Willock.

I'm surprised we got off page 10. We got there by six CA time. And normally that's it because everyone disappears, including, lately, the late-night denizens. But, tonight was at least different and we got to eleven at 9:30. And one hour later? One additional posting, this one.

I know they're trying to hook viewers, but when a ninety-minute film is not the thriller promised and moves at a pace that might lead you to believe it was three hours, well, more in the notes.
