Whoa.
Welp. Looks like I’m finally going back to the movie theater in June. Read.

Nobody
I may have lost my taste for movies like “Nobody,” the latest John Wick-like film about a bulletproof assassin who messily kills every baddie in the movie, even when they come at him all at once, guns blazing. The one versus many idea seemed entertaining when it was new but, in this movie at least, Read.

improbable
We were watching the first episode of “The Last of Us” when my mom texted me. She was housebound because she’d been hit by the same deep freeze that was keeping all us inside, but for her it was worse: she lives in Arkansas where the road maintenance crews don’t go out to salt or Read.

Casablanca
Tonight’s after-dinner entertainment was “Casablanca,” the corniest of cornball movies and yet still so wonderfully enjoyable. The first time I saw it on the big screen was while I was in college; the audience cheered after every well-worn quote. We didn’t cheer tonight but we did recite our favorite quotes along with the actors as Read.

knives out
Last night we watched “Knives Out” for the second time and I have to say I think I liked it even better this time around. I wasn’t paying close attention to how detective Benoit Blanc solved the murder mystery last time so that part of the story went right over my head. I was paying Read.

Here’s the Terminator movie I’d like to see: The first terminator travels back in time from 2029 to 1984, hunts down all the Sarah Connors in the phone book until he finds the right one, but gets killed because Reese, a soldier from the future, also travels back in time to help Connor defeat the Read.

thelma and louise
I watched “Thelma and Louise” for the first time last night. No, I don’t know why I waited so long. Sometimes I just never get around to seeing a movie while it’s in theaters and keep putting off when it’s the most popular rental, and then it sort of fades into the background and I Read.

Jesus Christ Superstar
I’m pretty sure I’m getting entirely the wrong story from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. The story I get is: There are these two good friends, Judas and Jesus. Jesus actually has a lot of friends, twelve of them, but Judas is the one who can tell Jesus stuff the other friends won’t or Read.

copypaste
The dream I was having this morning right before I woke up: Copying the names of all the people who had been turned into zombies and pasting them into a spreadsheet. We watched “Zombieland” last night before lights out. After I go to bed I usually dream about work, which often involves trawling through spreadsheet Read.
