Bombshell was well made and exceptionally acted. It’s hard to watch a movie in which all of the characters have no moral fiber at their center, so you find yourself rooting for people just because they are less repugnant than others and you hope they find something in their miserable selves worth standing up for. I felt the most sorry for Megyn Kelly’s children.

Top-notch song over the end credits.

I prefer to avoid movies & novels like this, except this is a true story.  Still, I think I will pass unless Keith wants to watch it.

If you are a fan of Call the Midwife don't forget the Christmas special is on tonight.  We are recording it.

I, too, watched Bombshell this evening - it's very good - typical of this kind of genre, taking a very recent event and dramatizing it for the screen.  But yes, it's about Fox News and they are quite disgusting.  John Lithgow is great and so is his makeup.

There was cheese and crackers and cheese fondue and salad and cookies and bagels and cream cheese and other stuff that I can't remember.  Good stuff all around. ;D

Jane, I just got the referral for the cardiologist.  It came earlier this week while I was away.  But with my plan changing as of January 1, I have to make sure the cardiologist is covered in the plan I'm starting 1/1/2020, and actually, Skip says that I'd better check that the urologist who originally asked for the clearance is even accepted by this plan. 


Good vibes with it all.

~~~Ditto!!~~~

I don't have any interest in seeing this movie, as good as it might be.

And who, may I ask, is Jimmy Mulligan?

He's a very talented artist who attended the Do last year also, IIRC.


I guess I had always heard his name as James Mulligan.  A very talented artist, indeed.  And a hottie.

Last night we watched the George C. Scott film of A Christmas Carol, directed by Clive Donner.  I hadn't seen it in maybe ten years or more.  I had forgotten how creepy it was - it is a ghost story - but I thought it was quite wonderful and very true to Mr Dickens' story..  Scott is excellent, but Annabelle's favorite Scrooge is Mr Magoo.


Annabelle has wonderful taste in Scrooges.


I watched the Thomas Birkeland version of the musical today.  It still holds up after all these years. 


Thank you, FJL.  Actually, I was wondering earlier this evening if you still watched it.

How was your day, Tom?


It was very nice.  We had ham and turkey with my sister’s great potato salad.  My sister said that my shrimp dip was the best ever; and everyone raved over the pumpkin dessert.

Nice.  My family didn't actually have any pumpkin pie this year.  My sister's boyfriend brought a frozen peach pie, but it was never cooked.

You could have broken it into pieces, stuck sticks in them and had peach popsicles!

My pumpkin dessert is basically just upside-down pumpkin pie.
