It is much easier to read about the past knowing that the story is in the past. Reading a dystopian novel that relates too closely to what we see happening these days is really hard.

True. But it can still be aggravating.

I really don't like horror movies at all, unless they are really well done, like Psycho or The Curse of Frankenstein or Black Sunday or Rosemary's Baby. I've never watched a Friday the 13th film, never seen Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. But while Orphan does have a couple of horror scenes - the opening especially - stick with it. The acting is really good and Isabelle Fuhrman is brilliant as Esther. And any movie that uses The Glory of Love throughout is okay by me.

I began the clearing of brush and other crap on the messy hillside behind the house. It was time to clean it up anyway, but I want to because we'll be having tree people in to take down a tree there in a couple of months. They'll need access, and like I said, I'd let it go to hell these last couple of years.

I don't watch the Friday the 13th kind of "horror" film either. I'm trying to think of any of those franchises I've liked. Hmmm? Maybe none. I lump all of those in with slasher films, which are of no interest. I do like good horror, though.

My cousin Miriam is coming over after synagogue. She's in The Bronx but goes to synagogue in Manhattan.

Enjoy your visit.

Thanks. It was lovely seeing her.

Keith's description of the movie, Nobody, that we watched last night....."It is very violent but a feel good movie". That's about it-lol

I do appreciate every couple of years watching Halloween, the original. You can't fault that one. Carpenter hit it out of the park, and films of that ilk have been unleashed on us ever since.

The second one is inferior but watchable, even if I never remember anything about it. Same with III, which is just off-the-wall bizarre and I've enjoyed sitting through it a few times. Beyond that, no way no how.

Speaking of dear friends, DR George and his sister's boyfriend, whose name happens to be Larry, were able to produce for me several wonderful souvenirs of the Indiana University video of the closing performance as well as a Blu-Ray DVD of the complete videon excellent sound, which I watched last night.

Our DR George is a true mensch, one of the absolute best. Thank you, DR George!

You're very welcome, Larry!

It's my pleasure!

Last night (so I guess this is kind of a Friday TOD) I TCM'ed it again. It was Sinatra night, and I was totally up for staying awake through The Man With the Golden Arm for - I kid you not - my first time ever seeing the whole thing. My god, it's fantastic. And there is nothing better than Saul Bass main titles accompanied by an urgent jazzy score like this one of Elmer Bernstein's. A winner.

I'd never heard this expression before. Someone on Quora referred to people getting together and kvetching about our ailments as giving an "Organ concert."

I've always called it an organ recital.

I went up north today to look for butterflies. It was a bust. It was nice to hike with other folks, though, and the woods were nice and cool and beautiful.

I do not watch horror movies. I learned when I watched Creature From the Black Lagoon as a child not to watch scary things.

It has been about 43 years since I lost my mother.
