Up 7am:Some heavy rains last night, and rain was supposed to pick back up early this afternoon and continue all day, but that didn't happen. However, tornados are in the forecast until 9pm tonight. Pandemics and Tornados, but at least it almost got to 70 degrees.
Wrote up 'THE SAINTS OF THE SHADOW BIBLE'- Ian Rankin for the blog.
***While fooling around I posted this comment on Reddit about Dylan's 17 minute song about the assassination of JFK.
"Whatever Bob Dylan choses to release is worthy of note. He's one of the most important artists of all time and if he wanted to release a 17 minute song about having the oil in his car changed it would be fine by me and worth a listen."
Watched Netflix disc, 'MORGAN'. A small group of scientists at a secret lab creates a 'super human'. She's likeable, but unable to check her violent impulses. Corporate bosses send a female risk management agent to tie up the loose ends, but at the end it's revealed that this woman is also not human and she is the 'superior model'. Not a bad 'B' movie. I liked it; with Kate Mara, Anya Taylor-Joy (the two non-humans), Toby Jones, Jennifer Jason Leigh (She sports a bloody eye patch. Morgan, the non-human, stabbed her in the eye in the opening scene), Paul Giamatti, and Brian Cox (for less than a minute).
Then watched an episode of, 'HOMICIDE SQUAD- ATLANTA' (Amazon Prime). Documents a brutal beating and murder in an Atlanta Kroger parking lot.
***1220 pm: left to mail the Netflix disc and hope to miss the heavy rains that are supposed to start again later this afternoon.
I walked down Westview and up Fairway to Monroe and dropped the disc in the box at Walgreens. I kept heading east, parallel to Monroe and then over to Washington. East to Feldkamp and south to Washington Park. I walked east to MacArthur and back along the panhandle and through the center of the park and back out to Parkview, Kenyon, and down Westview. Some periods of very misty drizzle, but I didn't even have to open the umbrella....AN HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES.
A cup of instant and I read on the couch but soon realized that it was far too long before Tub Time.....
So around 330pm I decided to watch a movie. I had seen a list of 'Best Mysteries On Netflix' on the phone and selected,'EVERYBODY KNOWS' with Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. I was surprised that I hadn't heard of this film by a prominent Iranian director. I had seen, 'A SEPARATION', but this one is about a woman and her two children who return to Spain from Venezuela for the wedding of her youngest sister. After the wedding the woman's sixteen year old daughter is kidnapped. The kidnapping is actually a ploy by people in the village to return the lucrative vineyard to a family member. We also learn that the sixteen year old is actually the daughter of the woman's boyfriend before she was married. A complicated and detailed story, and well worth a look.
615pm: Changed the litter box and then in the tub with more ELIZABETH BERG and listened to RAY LAMONTAGNE, a singer/songwriter that was mentioned in the novel, and then PACK- A.D., a female duo from Canada that's successfully mining the same golden vein as the old WHITE STRIPES. They are great and Amazon Music has a couple of their albums.
Watched, 'STRONG ISLAND' (Netflix). Almost painfully deliberate and measured, it's the story of a young black man who was shot and killed and the grand jury failed to bring it to trial. The crime is central, yet the profile of the family is of equal importance. I wasn't convinced that the killer was not without reasons for his actions.
Then half of the last episode of, 'DIRTY MONEY'. Formosa Chemical destroying the environment in Taiwan and Texas. Citizens band together to stop it. Not for a cash settlement, but only to protect their communities.
Then an episode of, 'THE CHEF SHOW' (Netflix). Making tacos in Los Angeles.
