  1. I've been self employed for about 25 years and gradually faded into semi retirement several years ago. I work, used in it's loosest sense, about six hours a week. Retirement suits me fine. I never get bored and seem to have adjusted well.
  2. Right on. I positively hated La La Land.

  5. Sorry to hear that. What are your remaining options for renting (non blockbuster type) films on dvd ? My Cousin Rachel - Henry Coster (1952) Had to watch this as a comparison. Burton clearly much stronger in the lead role. De Havilland excellent as always. Feels a bit stiff, the studio influence evident with the sound stage interiors and the slightly stagy, florid tone. Maybe it would be better to watch this version first as the remake benefits from improved technology, natural looking interiors and a wider feel than the original. All that should be pretty obvious. What I did realize was how good Rachel Weitz is to even compare with DeHavilland. Sometimes we can't see greatness when it's under our noses but need some historical space to let the comparisons become more evident.

  9. My Cousin Rachel - Roger Michell (2017) Continuing a string of strong, female based period dramas. Rachel Weitz predictably good as the Olivia De Havilland replacement. I liked it but didn't think it was as compelling as A Quiet Passion or Lady Macbeth.

  11. Thanks everyone. Walking has been supplanted by running, Bob.
  12. Rewatching Jessica Jones.
  13. Arbitrage - Nicholas Jarecki (2012) Stands up well to repeat viewing. Richard Gere is perfectly cast.
  14. The recent flurry of interest prompted me to play these two.
