the_revHad a different PT guy today but he was just as awesome as the first, helpful and informative. He did all the hands-on stuff, twisted me here and there. Very first thing he did was to have me lie down with a hot pack wrapped around my neck for 10 minutes. I almost went to sleep. It was awesome. I've been in a great mood since. He seems to think I will only need one more visit! Bonus is that my co-pay is half what I thought it was going to be. Huzzah!
Sabrina. The Bogart/Hepburn version. It was what I expected, having seen the Harrison Ford remake, although I think the original was funnier! I did miss the "world's only living heart donor" comment, but I was amused that Bogart and Ford play Linus in such a way that even the viewer cannot tell when he's actually admiring Sabrina and when he's only pretending to.
To Kill a Mockingbird. I loved this terribly. I want an Atticus of my own. I cried a little. Just a smidge. It would have been pretty sloppy if I'd been watching it alone. I was impressed by the kids! And amused by a very young Robert Duvall*! And the extra features were neat, Gregory Peck at a couple of awards things, including a lifetime achievement, in which he is entertaining, funny and charming. And then both his daughter and the actress who played Scout lovingly remember Peck at home and on set.
Spellbound. Moar Gregory Peck! (I need an icon!) Looking more Abe Lincoln-y (in a pretty way) in an early role. I'd actually seen this Hitchcock piece before and forgot about it, IIRC as a kid watching a Hitchcock marathon. Some of the psychoanalysis stuff is a bit silly but it's otherwise a good film. The bit of his childhood memory is the scariest part! And huzzah for Dali-esque dream sequences! Also, Bergman's quirky psych friend is especially entertaining! Also notable for having been found at the library, as Netflix does not carry it. Huzzah for libraries!
*I don't think I mentioned the other day just how entertained I was by a young Martin Landau in North by Northwest. I told the Captain that it had never occurred to me that he was ever so young!
