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.

It wasn't just that Teri Garr refused to understand. It was that Richard Dreyfuss left his wife and children behind, with no back-up or other means of support. He just left, to go to the stars.

Dads can leave. Moms have to stay behind.

In my rewrite of the film, Melinda Dillon, Barry's mom, the artist, goes to the stars with her son. Richard Dreyfuss gets gassed on the mountainside.

Ah yes, I had forgotten that. And it was OK Because Adventure! And she (the wife) deserved to get dumped because she didn't understand. That was the part I remembered.

Yes! Barry and his mom would have LOVED it!
