Wednesday AM Updates
Jan. 4th, 2023 08:52 amTwo cultural updates:
1) Earlier I wrote that the TV series "The English" was a 'revisionist' Western. I had only seen 2 of 6 episodes. Having seen all of them, I discovered that syphilis and it's progression were the hidden plot drivers. Let's just say it definitely ain't "Gunsmoke."
2) Last night, I watched the psychological thriller "Don't Worry Darling." I figured out the plot twist about 15 minutes in but the movie overall was well-executed.
One non-cultural update:
I was reminded by Facebook today that, on this date in 2015, I finished Draft Zero of my novel One of Our Spaceships is Missing. It only took an additional seven years to sell it!
