Saturday drive-by

[ksmith]

Actually, a sit-by, as I’m sitting in my cool–in temp, not decor–living room, trying out my new headphones. Bose, not the noise-canceling ones, but the next lower model. A rewards gift from my credit union credit card. Really comfy.

I love my credit union.

Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. I do like that movie, but someone refresh my memory–are there any Spielberg films where women are more than ancillary screamers/dead weight for the hero?

Hot, sorta. Mid 80s. Too hot for the Gabster–I took her to her daycare place for their monthly Saturday get-together, and after a few minutes trotting about, she wedged beneath the bench I was sitting on and stayed put. After a little less than an hour, I gave up and brought her home. She’s currently outside, in the shade/cool grass, sacked out. She’ll perk up this evening, after the sun goes down.

Just saw a trailer for Red 2. That’s it–wanna go see Helen Mirren blow shit up.

Spielberg's record is a *little* better when you look at what he's produced -- SMASH, on TV the last two seasons, and, um, THE COLOR PURPLE, going back years. And there are some of his directed films that don't have annoying screaming women (which isn't the same as having strong women). But, yeah.

And men who abandon their personal responsibilities are admirable.

Today, Raiders became one of those movies that I used to enjoy.
