Watched 2001 for the first time since it came out in Cinerama in 1968. I still don’t understand the ending, and I’ve even read the book…

For what it’s worth, see post 103 here: 2001: A Space Odyssey

…This week it was the 2015 movie *Age of Adaline. With Harrison Ford and Ellen Burstyn and I guess some other people who did the heavy lifting. But who cares about them, right? A woman has an aging non-issue. It works okay as long as you ignore the “explanation” for the non-aging thing.

Give it 3 old newsreels.

I liked it OK. The guy who played the young Harrison Ford character is a dead ringer for him, though - a little surprised he hasn’t gotten more work doing that.

It’s weird when I watch old silent movies sometimes and realize that they’re almost 100 years old. Yikes.

That reminds me, I watch Harlold Lloyd’s Safety Last (1923) the other day. A hundred years old. Damn.

Yes! I love Harold Lloyd. A great physical comedian, and he could really act, unlike a lot of actors and actresses back then.

So Like It Hot and Tootsie are not funny, that’s what I learned.

So Like It Hot was the low-budget 2011 Latvian remake (they couldn’t afford the two extra letters in the title). You really should see the original.
