Up 6am: Partly sunny with temps to about 60.
Ordered a couple of films on Hoopla to watch over the next couple of days. It seems Hoopla reaches the max by mid morning now that everyone is home and streaming.
Watched, 'ABOVE THE CLOUDS' (Hoopla). On her eighteenth birthday a young girl from Margate, UK learns that her real father lives on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. She decides to visit her real father and needs a 'responsible adult' to drive since she only has a learner's permit. She takes an affable homeless person. Strange premise, but the film is a nice 'Buddy/Road Picture'- A crowd pleaser at festivals around the world.
Then watched, 'INCEPTION' (Netflix). I'd seen it before, but such a complex film almost demands at least a second viewing. A professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious. Unbelievable special effects with a star-studded cast; with Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.
***Since I got up too early, some of it I missed due to naps. The film is almost two and a half hours long.
1230pm: PC is "Off" and I will try to finish, 'VIVA LA MADNESS', another nap, and then a long walk. I just heard that temps this week might reach near 80!
I finished the J.J. Connolly novel while listening to a few hours of MILES DAVIS.
4pm: Walked down Westview to north on Chatham and diagonally through to Fairhills parking lot to Washington. East to MacArthur and south to Washington Park. Down the street on the southside of the panhandle and thru the park on the southside. Up Parkview to Kenyon and down to 940. AN HOUR AND A HALF.
Did the Weekly Cleaning and in the tub to start a DAVID BALDACCI novel that Janny lent to me and listened to THE MINUTEMEN 'Why Do Men Start Fires?' and MERCURY REV 'Deserter's Songs' and another by M.R. called 'The Light In You'.
Watched, 'AMERICAN ANARCHIST' (Netflix).
A biopic about William Powell, the man who wrote 'THE ANARCHIST COOKBOOK when he was only nineteen years old in 1970. The interviewer seems to try to force the author into admitting some kind of culpability, but Mr. Powell wants nothing of it... "I wrote the book and some deranged person did something bad with the information. I wish they hadn't done it, but it's not my fault!"...
Then a couple of episodes of, 'THE ILIZA SHLESINGER SKETCH SHOW' (Netflix). Very funny satirical sketches..."Female Jackasses"..."Tie a bow around a potato"... "My Bro Wife"..."Juicy nectarines at a meeting"...
The the first episode of, 'KILLER RATINGS'. A Brazilian Jerry Springer has a TV talk show that exposes drug trafficking and violent crime, yet he is actually a mob boss himself. Looks like this will be a very interesting 7 part series
