I liked it very much

In 70mm no less. Which is 66 more mm than there are people in the theater.

The testament of Ann Lee, supposed to start at 9:35, I think they forgot

They walk away together and life along the sidewalk returns to normal

The security guards leave as a group, talking and laughing amongst themselves. Another parks employee arrives with a broom and dust pan and he and the other parks employee sweep some wet trash off the sidewalk and return it to the trash receptacle.

They look annoyed as they realize what happened but decide against confronting the parks employee and continue on their way. A fire truck arrives with its lights flashing. Before anyone gets out of the truck, the parks employee explains with a few words and gestures that they are not needed. The fire truck continues on its way.

The parks employee removes the plastic inner receptacle from the metal can that contains it. He lifts it high to clear the metal can then lets it fall hard on the sidewalk. This causes water to splash high in the air and land on some passers by. They stop, startled, and look around to determine the source of the water.

A cargo van stops in front of this scene. It has been pushing an orange traffic cone lodged under its front fender. Although the van is obstructing traffic, the driver remains in the driver seat checking his phone before he gets out to remove the cone.

Several other uniformed guards stand around. A parks employee (different uniform) arrives with a large watering can. He empties the contents into the same trash receptacle.

A uniformed security guard emerges from le pain quotidien with a plastic pitcher of water. Walks across the street and pours the water into a trash can

my new place, the blue jays stop by my kitchen window because i carelessly leave peanuts on the ledge.

Once upon a time people were talking about things like “Barbenheimer” and not the imminent collapse of society

Matewan is on TCM.com if you have access, always a worthwhile view. Giving me the distinct impression that we’re all living in a company town.

I have complicated feelings about TikTok but one thing that’s been a mainstay on my feed is Colorball Champions. From somewhere in Indonesia, a rotating cast of women (and a few men) are playing this game all day, every day, with usually at least a thousand people watching. I don’t understand what they are saying but I watch a game nearly every day.
