Potpourri

​It’s raining here. At least it has been. And we are expecting a few more inches through Monday. We may as well enjoy it as it will most likely be the last of the rain this year.  Ah, the pleasures of world-wide climate catastrophe.
 
As I write this, an investigation of the accidental shooting of a Director and Cinematographer on the set of a movie continues. Apparently, there was a live round in the chamber. How does this even happen? As far as I understand it, three people were to check the weapon before it ever gets into the actor’s hand.  Just read that there were some nonunion issues. This is important stuff, people. Hire Union and hopefully, this will lead to more stringent safeguards on the set of lower budget motion pictures.
 
As you can now very well see, this will be another of those annoying collections of random words, miraculously transformed into some sort of readable blog post. Or maybe not, that is up to you to decide. As I type it, I am listening to Han Zimmer’s soundtrack to No Time to Die. I like it and the musical nods to one of my favorite Bond films, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Anyway, good stuff. Check it out. 
 
A couple of notable viewings worth sharing. Apple TVs The Foundation is as visually stunning as it is confusing. However, the documentary The Velvet Underground is highly recommended as well as the current season of Ted Lasso which never disappoints. I have also just started Dopesick and so far, so great!  And before we close, one last shout out to Only Murders in the Building. The teaming of Martin and Short is, as always brilliant but it is the addition of Selena Gomez that elevates this original story to new heights. 
 
Okay, I need to find some random video to post here so I will see you all next week.
