I think it would have to be Bananas and Sleeper.

Good night, DR Singdaw.

Watching the rest of Spencer.

I'm exhausted. Full, long day today.

Starting Poodle Springs. Not only Bob Rafelson directing and James Caan as Marlowe, but Tom Stoppard wrote the screenplay.

Tonight's dessert was ice cream with my mother's homemade chocolate sauce. Yum!

Yum.

Finessed episode seven - shortened, tightened, and better. Sent that off.

I enjoyed Poodle Springs. It's not the best Marlowe, but Caan conveys that wounded virtuous knight with an understated solidness. Plus, Stoppard has some good humorous lines to balance the ugliness of the story. This Marlowe is aging and feels a little like a dinosaur. But he's just married to a stunner. My favorite line is when he finishes questioning a prostitute at a by-the-hour motel, and another lady of night spots him. "Hey, Marlowe, didn't you just get married?" she asks.

SPOILER ALERT: There is something horrible that happens to a cat. So, this is not a movie for everyone. I had to leave during that scene.

Again, the movie is on YouTube. Without commercials. It's a little soft of focus.

Good night, all.

Good evening.

Laura · « **Reply #138 on:** July 25, 2022, 08:35:59 PM »

I have nothing to report.

Except that we could really use some popcorn in this house.

I am going to sign off early (for me). I have to be up at the crack of seven to get ready for my pulmonologist’s PA. She is my second least person on the staff, so this may be my final time with them.

Good night.

The remake of Firestarter is so wrongheaded that they have the little girl fry a cat.

I kid you not.
