 Tu 3/30/21

9 am. 1140 am. 235 pm. 850 pm. 

Up 755 am: Partly cloudy with temps to the upper 60's.

I watched 'NICO, 1988' (Kanopy). An Art Film about the last two years of Nico's life. Trine Dyrholm delivers a heart-felt performance of the icy, blonde, bohemian artist who couldn't accept the fact that she will be remembered as only a minor footnote in popular music. Nico rants that she only wants to talk about 'her music', but everyone knows if it wasn't for Lou Reed and John Cale there would be no 'her music'. Basically the film is a 'warts and all' portrait of a difficult woman artist, but I liked it.

Then watched 'ROBOCOP' (Amazon Prime- it leaves Prime tomorrow). A Detroit detective is mowed down by a psychopathic crew, but is 're-assembled' as a Cop-Cyborg. And, just like 'JOHN WICK'..."Boy, did he get his revenge", but 'ROBOCOP' is not nearly as clever; with; with Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer.. "He's like Dirty Harry with ball bearings".

Troubled Water- Tubi

245 pm: ON THE WALK...Parkview, Country Club, Laurel, Outer Park, Lincoln, Leland, Walnut, and west on the northside of the park, Parkview, Fairway, and up to 940...TWO HOURS... Mp3- A TRIBUTE TO JACK JOHNSON ~ Miles, BOSTON, MASS~ Del FUEGOS. 

In the tub and began 'HANNIBAL' ~ Thomas Harris and more 'MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN' listening to LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, WAR ON DRUGS. 

Deliberating whether to watch 'THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY' or 'THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1968) because they both leave Prime tomorrow. I picked 'Mary'. The premise is that three desperate guys are in love with Mary. The film is chock full of gross out humor that is defiantly insensitive and the laughs are 100% low-brow; with Cameron Diaz, Matt Dillon, Ben Stiller, Chris Elliott, Lin Shaye, Jeffrey Tambor, Richard Jenkins, and Sarah Silverman.

***FUN FACT: When he was a young man Richard Jenkins worked as a truck driver for John C. Reilly's father and Jenkins first met John C. Reilly when Reilly was only four years old.

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...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
