Had a pretty easy day today. Slept well last night and just did easy errands. The inland people seem to be at the beach today for a weekend stay. Lots of jet-skis, boats, and some parasailing for the really adventurous. A few of the boats were flying flags that had pro-Trump messages followed by slogans like “no more B.S.” Well.
I haven’t done much intellectually today. Computer problems and laziness. I read a very positive review of the movie I mentioned here in a previous blog called She Dies Tomorrow. The movie review made a point of the fact that the main character had been an alcoholic and drinks excessively in the movie when death seems near. I recall that Freud thought terminal alcoholics are really homosexuals. It may have been one of several things he was wrong about.
Sometimes simpler movies and tales are better. I plan to watch a recent one tonight starring Tom Berenger. He seems to play the part of a somewhat haggard, action star well. I thought he was good in Platoon and a few film noir and action films.
Update: Decent movie called Blood and Money. Sometimes nice scenery and a basic, somewhat violent plot are enough for me. Stephen King has certainly done well off of Maine’s backdrop, and this movie does okay too. Haven’t actually been to Maine, an “undiscovered country.”
