 The previous post is my version of the gratuitous post, except I don’t know how to spell “gratuitous.”

And now, I must be off.  I'm meeting my friend Margo for dinner, then we're going to see Loving Vincent at the Olympia Film Society.  I have really been wanting to see this!  I hope it's good.

Be back later.

Ooh, I want to see that, too, George. Give a full report.

Both Margo and I really liked it!

The entire movie was literally painted, based on Van Gogh's paintings and the visuals were stunning! 

[George]

I don't know if the framing story is true, but it's about a postal worker whose father was Van Gogh's postman, and he is sent a letter that was written by Vincent (shortly before he died) to his brother Theo.  The father gets the letter (and the movie is set) a year after Vincent's death. 

[George]

The postman was asked to send it on to Theo, and he asks his son to find where Theo lives and to bring it to him.  The son goes to where Vincent lived at the time of his death and finds out that Theo died about six months after Vincent.  He then talks to the people who knew Vincent to find out more about how he died.  That's the basic concept.  Highly reccommended.

I see that Rose Marie has died. I thought she’d died a long time before.

Always liked Sally on Dick Van Dyke.

Oh, no.

[George]

Worked with her on a late-night ABC comedy special called Honeymoon Suite - she and Morey Amsterdam.

Cool!

Mickey and I did PETER PAN together.  He was one of my pirates.

Fun!  I played Jukes (one of the pirates) 20 years ago.

Tom, it's spelled G-R-A-T-U-I-T-O-U-S.

Well, I need to go to sleep.  In the morning, I'm taking Neve back to the vet for a follow-up appointment to see if the ointment for the ear mites actually worked, or at least helped.

Goid night and have a good day, all!
