In Contention

Packing it in

There are three AFI tribute screenings tonight, for Heath Ledger (“Ned Kelly”), Sydney Pollack (“They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”) and Anthony Minghella (“The Talented Mr. Ripley”).  I was going to go to at least the Ledger film, maybe the Minghella (haven’t seen either in a while).  Then I was going to sit down and transcribe the two hours of wonderful conversation I enjoyed with Dustin Hoffman at his West L.A. office yesterday.  Then I was going to hammer out a Tuesday list.  But I really just want to embibe and sit in front of the boob-tube, maybe finish watching “Recount” (which I never caught over the summer).  It could be a nail-biting day.   So I’m going to go easy on myself.

Hey, you do the same.

    I was gonna catch the screening of Two-Legged Horse tonight but yeah, it’s nice to just…not and watch the news all day. Recount was quite good, btw.

    you wanted to go see the LEDGER film? Ned Kelly ain’t very good… I’d take Ripley over it any day of the week!

    They weren’t conflicting screenings, Andre. I could have seen all three, but I thought about seeing Ned Kelly (you know, to give my respects, I dig the genre) and Ripley. Not gonna do either as it turns out, and yeah, Matthew, Recount was okay. More infuriating than anything.
