We 12/11/19

Up 645am: Partly sunny, calm, to mid 30's.

Watched, '8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE' (Amazon Prime) A Mathew Scudder novel by Lawrence Block in which Matt tries to help a prostitute quit the life, she is murdered, and Scudder uncovers a Los Angeles drug operation run out of a grocery chain; with Jeff Bridges, Rosanna Arquette, and Andy Garcia. Screenplay by Oliver Stone and directed by Hal Ashby.
According to the 'General Trivia' Hal Ashby "threw away the script" and had the actors improvise all their dialog and actions. I think this is true as much of the interaction seems effectively 'off the cuff'.
The 'O'Neill House' at 507 N. Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills is featured in a couple of scenes.

Then, 'SAVED!' (Amazon Prime) A satire on Christian Evangelical Hoo-Haw. A young girl at a Christian high school gets pregnant so that she can 'prove' that her boyfriend is not gay. She is ostracized, yet the philosophy of the school is shown to be more damned than she is. Michael Stipe is a co-producer; with Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin, Mary Louis Parker, Martin Donovan, and Patrick Fugit.

115pm: To FitClub West. 45" Octane (True Crime YouTube). 45" Walk (TV all workout). 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Old Style Cross.

Home to read more of, 'HOW TO BEHAVE IN A CROWD' and listen to the speaker bar; LONNIE JOHNSON/ XPENSIVE WINOS. Then in the tub with more French Family Drama and LOS LOBOS and THE MELVINS.

The next 'BREAKING BAD' Netflix. Then about 15" of , 'ACTORS ON ACTORS (YouTube)- Brad Pitt & Adam Sandler.

Then, 'ELVIS PRESLEY- THE LAST 24 HOURS'-( YouTube). Then most of the next episode of 'BRAINDEAD'. (Amazon Prime)

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...
