A lot has certainly happened since my last post, huh?
I had a series of interviews for a job downtown, then they wanted me to travel to New York for a final interview....this after 2 phone interview and 3 onsite interviews, the last with their COO. so, while I was considering the trip to New York, I got an offer for a different gig not too far from my place. So, I accepted that one and was supposed to start this past Monday. But, with the pandemic, things are on hold for a few more weeks.
I finished my contract gig 3 weeks ago, and was planning to visit Florida. But, I had a cold and was waiting a week before booking my ticket. I am very glad I did given how quickly travel can change.
And so, I have seen quite a few movies over the last few weeks. some good, some bad. the best was The Intouchables, a French film. It was redone here as The Upswing. The original was much better.
The Invisible man sucked.
The Hunt sucked
Call of the Wild sucked
Bridge on the River Kwai...a classic.
The Matrix...pretty good
Sorcerer - one of my favorites. Me and Dave watched it. I have seen it a dozen times
Deliverance. I saw that when it came out in the early 70s. Another for me and Dave's movie night
1917 - outstanding
Parasite - good, but 1917 should have won
and about 25 episodes of Dangerous Waters. https://youtu.be/96Ze9T40gqg
the comment Gordie makes about wagon train sums up Dangerous Waters
so, be safe in this chaotic time
