A little catching up
Posted in Movies, Tulips on September 9th, 2009 by ColinSo yesterday I wanted to catch up on my blog and correspondence, but the cold has me down a bit, so I watched Lonesome Dove, the wonderful miniseries very faithfully adapted from Larry McMurtry’s, Pulitzer-Prize-winning book. I’ve bought the 2-DVD set twice it’s so good. Well, maybe it’s 3 times, since I’ve been moving around so much and lost 2 copies. I need to think about getting a Netflix subscription again once I have some time and money since they have a HUGE selection of stuff hard to get anywhere else, especially when you’re not near a big city. I did see Food Inc. at the great little art-house theater that is literally across the street from me. Somewhat like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma in screen form, it was an interesting and sobering look at the food supply, and how it’s become more and more like a factory, less and less humane to both animals and humans.
