Two press screenings. One for Mia Hansen-Love's UN BEAU MATIN (ONE FINE MORNING), the other for Dino Risi's UNA VITA DIFFICILE (from 1961). I enjoyed both movies. I also posted little notes on both movies on Facebook. And when i posted on FB, immediately there were comments on UN BEAU MATIN from people disagreeing, i.e., they didn't like the movie. Which is fine. But it reminded me of how Laurie Stone sometimes deals with FB comments. If people want to hijack her FB thread, she immediately disengages: she'll block further comments, etc. She said something like she's here to write what she thinks, she doesn't care what you think. Her feelings (as it were) are not open to debate. I kind of, sort of feel the same. 

So yesterday i had my first real fit of anger in a long time. It was ridiculous, but maybe i'll get into it at a later date. But just as Laurie Stone doesn't want to engage when people are trying to hijack her thread, so i don't need any idiotic suggestions in terms of the memorial i'm trying to organize for Larry. I mean: i want suggestions, but not if they're useless.

An aside: SISTER BONIFACE is getting much better, it's such a quirky show. It had started out as rather lackluster in terms of the mysteries, but now the storylines are better. And it's still so funny to see the nuns acting as the police force of the village. And the "new" season of SILENT WITNESS has been very creepy: the cases are real brain-twisters! Wish that Larry were here to share these with me.
