....as all things must....
Feb. 6th, 2021 04:11 pmSince I still haven't watched Sound of Music, my first exposure to Christopher Plummer was him playing General Chang in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country, and I was less than enthralled (not due to Plummer, due to all the Shakespeare quoting the script insisted on), which was my reaction to The Undiscovered Country in general. Otoh, then I saw him in the tv version of The Thorn Birds, where he plays a supporting role, and was immediately charmed. This held true in most later encounters as well, including the last one, Knives Out; in The Last Station, he and Helen Mirren were stunning together as that real life Albee-esque couple, the Tolstois. By all accounts, he had a long, good life, but I'm still sad to see him go.

festivids is always a treat. Here are some of my favourites from this year:
Ghosts (aka the delightfully silly sitcom I mentioned in my last post): Life of Riley. How life with the ghosts works out for Alison and Mike.
Lost in Space (TV 2018): Sun goes down: a Robinson family portrait that reminds me how much like this show.
Watchmen (TV 2019): Doubt and Nothing is safe both focus on Angela and Will Reeves, and the forces that shape them, the decisions they make; brilliant character vids that also capture the layers and greatness of the series.
