(I did not chase down any of the nominees to see.)

I like Neo’s list better.

His sweater may have zipped, but the news called it a cardigan anyway; the babies’ are buttoned properly.

Melania is a puzzle. Is there anyone who knows what she actually thinks about anything? I’d wager she is opaque to even her closest relations.

I hardly notice sweaters, but mostly don’t like them. Would rather have a thick shirt, or a thick shirt over a t-shirt. Tho for semi-formal times, instead of a tie, they can heighten the formality a bit.

In Slovakia, multiple computer folk I’ve worked with loved the Big Lebowski. I thought it was just OK.

Recently we saw a movie my wife thought was from the Cohen brothers, This Must Be the Place with Sean Penn as a retired-for-20 years rock star singing depressing songs; the movie had more from Talking Heads:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440345/
It’s an Italian Paolo Sorrentino film. Slow yet very engaging, often very real.
I hate Penn’s politics. His acting here is great.

I try not to read dreck. Irritates me.

[Maybe it was; I didn’t chase the link.]

A difference without significance, but there you are.

Sounds funny, but maybe it’s just that I like the genre too much to see it f_’d

TommyJay: As usual, you are a perceptive chap. I admit I enjoyed Lebowski greatly. And I know it doesn’t hit everyone’s funny bone as it does mine. Humor aside, I never knew where the film was going next and I’m pretty jaded when it comes to movies.

Did you know the John Goodman character was based on writer/director John Milius? Which is funny, if you know the inside baseball.

I also appreciated the affection the Coen Bros brought to Chandler’s work. I didn’t like Altman’s “The Long Goodbye” much at all because it was a harsh deconstruction of Philip Marlowe as an out-of-it and out-of-place 40s detective in a black-and-white suit trying to deal with hip, colorful, 70s LA.

Some areas of Italy are very conservative and they have rules what one must wear when in church. MIchelle haughtily ignored them and entered the church anyways.

See https://www.dailywire.com/news/youll-never-believe-what-michelle-obama-wore-12th-joseph-curl

Q. What is the dress code for visiting the cathedral?
A. No bare shoulders and no skirts or shorts above the knee

Melania, on the other hand…who wouldn’t be proud to stand beside her?
