I started Gideon's Trumpet yesterday. I'm hooked. It's the classic tale of the man who was not given an attorney when he asked for one after his arrest. The case made it to the Supreme Court.

I thought the sound system had a glitch, but about 3/4's of the way through the movie, I realized it was the guy sitting behind me crunching M&Ms very slowly - all the way through the moooooooooooovvvvviiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

And I am home.

DR FREDDIE I went for the express purpose of seeing Deadpool & Wolverine.

I liked it - the story was a mess - but it rolled right along and hit all the expected highs, lows, and middles.

It cost me $6.....I don't buy movie house treats.

Thanks for the movie report.

That is kind of funny about the candy cruncher even though I too would find it very annoying. Was it crowded and you couldn't move?

What would happen if a candy cruncher met a candy striper?

Makes me wonder how I get through weekdays without one.

DR JANE there were less than a dozen folks there....including a mother and her two young sons - at an R rated movie (they made half a dozen trips to the restroom during the movie).

I could have moved, I guess, but I am not steady in the dark - so I stayed put and lived through it.

I can just figure he bought the FAMILY size bag. He did leave before I did - I stayed for a lot of the credits.....so I don't know what he looked like.

My guess is - one BIG M&M.

DR Jrand73, you should have given him the side-eye.

Although how effective that would have been in the dark, I can't say.

I just watched the last 40 minutes of A Delicate Balance.

I have never read/seen the play.....but now I want to see it from the beginning.

Except that Joseph Cotten and Katharine Hepburn were too old compared to the other actors....it was excellent....and i can forgive that because of the performances they give.

Directed by Tony Richardson. I read a biography of Tony Richardson written by the guy who wrote the novel INSIDE DAISY CLOVER - they had been at school together - and it was very interesting....and also disclosed an affair between the book author and Nicholas Ray......

Hard on the outside, smooth and creamy on the inside?

Only a dozen people and he was sitting so close to you-lol

When you say young, with that many trips to the bathroom they must have been very young.

I am reminded of the time Craig went to the movies and was the only person there, until a man walked in and sat in the seat next to Craig.

Jane · « **Reply #144 on:** August 18, 2024, 04:30:27 PM »

Yes, Craig moved far away from him.

Speaking of the heat, this DR can’t wait for the weather to cool down. Daytime in my ‘hood isn’t bad—80 to 85– but it’s difficult to cool the apartment down in the evening.

When I was living in the East fall couldn’t come soon enough, but I don’t recall feeling that way here. Perhaps I have even less tolerance than before. Sigh.

I finished Caleb Carr's devastating dual biography of himself and his Siberian Forest cat Masha. I actually had three chapters to go when I posted this morning. Masha was close to twenty years old when she died on April 5. The year seems to be 2021, since he mentions a winter after 2020. I'm guessing his 17 years of life with Masha were 2021. The encounter with the fisher, which I had read last night, happened just before the 2016 positive New York Times Book Review of his 2016 novel Surrender, New York.

After griping about generic names for character - My Mentor, Lady Vet - Carr does acknowledge many of them at the end of the book.

BK, I had meant this morning to sympathize with you over the air conditioner situation. I am so happy that it will be corrected tomorrow.
