Hi Naomi: Yeah addiction is scary and in this book it plays out like a nightmare. Still the book explores a lot of issues and I think it is helpful. I’m curious about the movie from this book …. which I’ll probably see soon.

Thx for the movie update on LBM. You will like Faye in Three Days of the Condor, though a somewhat small part. I hope the drought there will be over for a while after your rainy winter. Hold the skies for Sunday.

As is often the case, the Little Big Man movie did not quite capture what I loved about the book. It was not bad, just a different take on the story in some ways. Faye Dunaway, OMG, I used to love her as an actress so much. She does capture that character well in this one. I don’t think I have seen Three Days. We have been into older movies lately so I will check it out. Yes, sunny days for a change!

Hi Diane, I’m glad you liked the movie Green Book too. I think Beautiful Boy is on rental streaming now …. so I hope to get to it sometime soon. I think you’d like The Wife movie. Enjoy.

Hi Judy: you’ll have to let me know if the movie of Little Big Man is very good? I haven’t seen it … but we just watched Faye Dunaway in Three Days of the Condor, which was fun re-living. I hope you have an enjoyable evening watching the Oscars. It doesn’t look like rain is in the forecast for L.A. … so the red carpet should be all right 🙂 …. Enjoy.

Hi Ti, too bad you will miss the Oscars on Sunday …. but you can see the performances via tape. You might be right about Roma winning. It seems to have quite a following. That’s great you had Little on your list. I take it that Bookworm is a podcast? I must check it out. thanks.

Yeah Carmen: I hope to eventually see the Beautiful Boy movie & see how closely it follows the book etc. It seems there was a good variety of movies this year … but I know the Oscars is not without plenty of criticism and controversy. We’ll see how the broadcast goes. I didn’t realize there’s another book out about Madame Tussaud. Is it a recent one? I feel like I know a lot about her now … the novel/audio was pretty lengthy. Quite a history.

Hi Kathy: I’m glad you’ve been lucky and haven’t been affected by anyone with addiction issues. Beautiful Boy might be a good follow-up to the other book. The Oscars could be weird this year without a host. I’ll try to survive the broadcast:-)
