Last night’s Screen Actor’s Guild Awards (SAG) showed just how strong Oppenheimer is and how it seems headed for many Oscars on March 10th. Not that the Oscars mean squat, but we always find the diversion as a way to discuss our favorite films of any given year. I’m still rooting for Paul Giamatti to upset Cillian Murphy, but last night’s result indicates it will be a tall task. Lucille and I finally saw Wim Wenders’s Japanese Perfect Days on Tuesday night, after we couldn’t pull off the previous plans to see it on Sunday evening. “Perfect” is also how I frame it – 5 of 5.
This past week, we lost my last McCartney cousin, Jeffrey, who passed at the young age of 72 after fighting cancer for eight years. Jeffrey was actively staging plays at the Leonia Player’s Guild for decades, and was one of the most creative persons. R.I.P. dear cousin.
I have resumed writing the third novel, now re-titled Mikey’s Absolution, but the off-week from school was impacted by the wake and funeral and other responsibilities.
Wishing everyone a great week, as we crossover to March.
