It's been a few weeks, and an eventful set, as my wife went through her surgery and we dealt with the aftereffects. I thought that would mean lots of time on the weekend sitting around watching movies, but alas, my work schedule had other ideas. The last two weekends had me spending a lot of time getting ready for some clutch meetings, which are now ready to roll.
We did manage to fit in another 2022 Oscar contender for Best picture, CODA, about a teenager whose family is all deaf, and the issues that result. To date, I've seen half of this year's nominees, including Dune, Belfast, The Power of the Dog, and Don't Look Up. 50% is pretty good for me, and I expect we'll add Drive My Car, and maybe Nightmare Alley and/or Licorice Pizza at some point, The other two (King Richard and West Side Story) don't really hit my must-make list right now.
That said, I expect I'll see the original WSS at some point, given it's a best picture in the past. I'll be travelling in a few weeks, so I plan to put 2-3 movies on my ipad and knock out a few - either war movies or really old ones (think 1920s-1930s).
On the reading front, I re-read Foundation, by Isaac Asimov after watching the Apple TV version. Turns out that show was actually a prequel novel combined with about 1/3 of the original novel, and they've already taken a few liberties. I'm still looking forward to the next season, assuming there will be one. Next up on my reading list: Dr. Futurity by PKD, as I continue that pursuit.....
