That’s part of the reason I took a sabbatical from this non-sense about which, yes, I have been known to be quite serious, to become much more of aware of the world beyond the movies.
To keep tabs on the real world.
To try and keep up not only with the Kardashians, for a change, but with the people who are supposed to be representing and leading this country and, closer to the ground and to home, with my community.
Still had time to watch some films, though. Some movies and some flicks, too.
Most of ’em were good and fun, although a few were fairly awful. Not as terrible as...you know what? He’s not worth it. He is not me, he is not us; he’s got zero to do with this, and he certainly doesn’t deserve any more attention.
So here’s to the year that was, and to 2018, which, IMHO, is already full of promise.
I tell ya, it’s gonna be a good one.
Because woof.
Now, without further ado, my picks with a little silliness thrown back in for good measure.
