Let's just say that binge-watching shows is my chosen method of self-soothing these days. A one hour show and a few others following is longer than sitting down to watch a movie, but for some reason, it's so much more satisfying.
I did watch a two movies in the last week though.
Raintree County is set around Civil War times. The film, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Eva Marie Saint premiered almost 20 years after Gone With the Wind, but it reminded me a lot of that classic. Taylor plays a Scarlet-type Southern belle, who in this instance successfully lures her man from the clutches of the sweet Nell (Saint) by devious means. She's a troubled thing though, and things go awry rather quickly. It was a good story.
In a more recent offering, I watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. His ballad was only one of six unrelated shoft stories set in the wild, wild, west. The film was written, directed and produced by the Cohen brothers; so, quirky and a little out there. The Husb did not appreciate the small part he watched with me, and offered to skip the rest; so, I could enjoy it more fully. It was definitely entertaining.
MK out.
