Random Rambles #1

Here are some random things in my head…

  • Movies are too dark, movies are too crass, humor seems to be fleeting, there is no happy medium.
  • Changes on the job or status can really make for a bad week
  • People need to chill out more. We are too high-strung.
  • Donald Trump shouldn’t get anywhere near the Oval Office
  • Some stuff sucks most of the time.
  • The weekend is here, it’s about time.
  • Everyone needs to learn more about the generations that came before.

Friday Night Movie – Notting Hill – A Super Rom Com

This gem from 1999 features a lot of stars. Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville, Emma Chambers, Richard McCabe, Rhys Ifans, Clarke Peters and Alec Baldwin among a few others.

Richard Curtis who also did Four Weddings and a Funeral along with Love Actually gives a screenplay that tells a great story about an unlikely romance between a high powered actress and a travel book shop owner. It’s a great romantic comedy.
