Su 3/24/19

Up 7am; threatening, some rain last night and more predicted today- to mid fifties.

Downloaded 'CHRIS CORNELL' from Hoopla.

Watched 'RED ROCK WEST' (Xfinity) Nicolas Cage/ Dennis Hopper/ Lara Flynn Boyle   A classy Western Noir: Cage arrives broke and tired looking for work, and a man mistakenly believes he's the hitman he commissioned to kill his wife. Cage is basically a good guy, but gets caught up in some very bad things, and Dennis Hopper seems to delight in his weirdly menacing persona...."Adios to Red Rock".

Then, 'GOODLAND' (Xfinity)  More Noir, and this one was a really pleasant surprise. In Goodland, KS a photographer arrives and a drunk is found dead, mangled in a corn field by a combine. Of course, the two incidents are connected. The photog is working with a bank robbery crew (dead guy was a member), but he's really some kind of a federal agent. The Feds cut him loose, and he is shot after the robbery. Very well done; this is an authentic 'Overlooked Film'.

1pm: reading 'THE SILENT COMPANIONS' and to LA Fitness later. 230pm- 305pm; The Weekly Cleaning. On the machines at LA Fitness- 345pm.
45" Walk (THE WHITE DRAGON). 45" Recumbent Bike (THE SILENT COMPANIONS/ Chris Cornell (Hoopla). 45" Cross (THE WHITE DRAGON). 30" Walk (GIRLS). 30" Cross (OFF CAMERA- Ted Danson)/

Home to soak and finish THE SILENT COMPANIONS and listen to COP KILL COP; just began THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE- F. Scott Fitzgerald.

'THE DIRT' Netflix biopic of Motley Crue.    The film is based on the band member's memoirs about their time with band, but the acting is clownish, and not in the least believable, but some of the early 'live' practice sessions really rocked.

Dummy Board- EARLY 17TH CENTURY. Usually associated with the fireplace.
