Feel better, Jack.

Larry, I hope your foot ball improves steadily.

I ventured out of the house this morning and went to Third Generation (local restaurant) for breakfast.  Very nice it was, too.  Grits, bacon, fried eggs and coffee.  The simple things.

Sigh.

From DR John"

Quote
They made the movie after their relationship ended. He didn’t get screwball comedy any more than Barbra did. Peter Bogdanovich had to act out their parts often for both, as you can see in the extras. She loved everyone on the picture but she didn’t get it while they were making it.

This is funny. Maybe the fact they didn't get it added that something special to their performances.

I expected the Daughter's Deli to be small but a bit nicer than a hole in the wall.  I never enjoyed eating inside of Label's Table on Pico, but I sure liked getting food to go.

I see kids movies, mainly, and none of them were what I’d call good.
I’d say the best I saw was an animated feature called Mummies, which was objectively bad, with a rote villain and simple plot,  but I loved the two main characters. And there was a funny scene where they infiltrate the West End production of Aida and cause mayhem. The movie was barely released in the states.

After reading the comments about May December I watched the trailer.  It looks like an excellent film with a talented cast, and an interesting twist to the romance.  Still, I doubt I will rush to see it.

Yes. Richard Rountree’s last. I loved the performances and some of small details in that, such as Lily and the small boy.

I thought JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 was very good, and a good ending to the series.

DR John, I am a bit confused about JUNIPER.  Is it the film with Charlotte Rampling or Madison Lawlor?

While not a great movie, I did enjoy GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3.

I'm trying to remember what new movies I saw this year, and the only recent ones have been:

Oppenheimer
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
The Holdovers

and I'm totally blank otherwise. I know I've been to theeders off and on, but it's been for classics at the Bedford or Fathom musicals or whatnot. Just plain old new movies, I dunno. There have to have been a couple more...

I like reading about the movies you see since I am missing going to movies with the grandkid.

Ann came down to visit with me for about an hour.  She and Jen have company in this weeked to Christmas shop. She borrowed my copy of The Inheritance and told me she thought I would enjoy Demon Copperhead. She also brought me a cinnamon French toast bagel, very spicy and very sweet.

Thanks John.  It is a bit confusing as IMDB shows this JUNIPER was released in 2021, while the other one in 2022.  I found this Juniper on a list of best films in 2023.
