Black Mirror - 2 Episodes
After dinner at Conejito's (which was after the museum which was after the dog, but before we went across town to pick up Junie from her friend's house which was before the big thunderstorm) we went over to YaYa's where we watched two episodes of Black Mirror.
The Current Occupant
After work on Thursday I went over to YaYa's apartment, ordered a pizza for us, and sat down to watch The Current Occupant on Hulu.
The movie is centered around Henry, a man who wakes up in a mysterious mental institution believing he is the President of the United States, held captive in a plot orchestrated to put the VP in charge. Is he insane, or is he indeed the POTUS, wrongfully held prisoner by forces out to overthrow democracy?
Who cares?. I know *I* didn't by the halfway point of the flick. Oh, there are a few reviews online who try and convince you that this is a deep, intellectual exercise that is just poorly understood by the uneducated viewer. No, it's a mediocre collection of tropes strung together with scenery and special effects that probably cost less than my last grocery trip (even accounting for the current inflation).
It wasn't awful. We got through it. But I recommend you avoid the film.
Still, a good time with my eldest, so I'll always have some fond memories of it.

On The Line
My own take? I largely agree with YaYa, as did Lisa. There are a few cheesy moments of dialogue early on, and the hyper-crisp, high def visuals were distracting.. But the story itself was solid, Gibson made a point of displaying his acting chops, and the twist - I didn't see it coming.
It's worth a watch!

Gone too Soon
It was to be their last communication. Mike was found dead today in his apartment during a welfare check.

Ralph Passes
We clipped some hair from him, collected his custom engraved brown leather collar that I had ordered for him, placed him in the grave, and said some prayers.

A blast from the past: this is my old office at Job Prior, with six year old YaYa keeping me company.
