Well, even though I understand that NOBODY watched the movie I touted in my last entry, I just want to say it was excellent and then some. It was made by American Movie Channel (AMC) and it showed twice on Sunday and the second half twice on Monday. I hope it plays again and I'm sure it will. The story was wonderful. The cast was wonderful. The scenery was wonderful. I had one complaint: the subtitles were in miniature, too fast, and were often white print on white background. What is wrong with people who attend to this feature? But then, this is my common complaint about any movie with subtitles. I never mind subtitles and can read them, follow the action, and never miss a beat. IF they are readable. One time I saw a foreign film that had a white ribbon across the bottom with large black print and it was just wonderful, but I've never seen that again.
Again, in reference to my last entry, I checked the Internet for a remedy recommended by Katie Tompkins called Bitter Apple and saw that I could buy it for $4.50. Plus $4.45 S&H. So I went to my pet store and bought it for $8.25 plus gasoline for my car. Pretty close to a tie -- but I did have to leave my house and that is a plus. I try to leave my house -- that is, put on shoes and lipstick -- at least once each day.
Okay. I think the caffeine is used up and I can go on to other things.
What was the name of this wonderful film?
Yeah, Mom.
With Danny and I both having a degree of hearing loss, we really appreciate watching DVD's with the subtitles on. I also appreciate being able to read them without the background colors washing them out.
Oh, Laura. It's so good to hear from you. And I loved hearing that you agree with me on subtitles. I've seen black letters on dark (!) backgrounds and white (!) letters on white backgrounds. What's up with that? The other problem with the subtitles in the movie I was talking about is that the letters were very small and the two lines were whisked away before I had read them. I'm a fast reader and I may have been slowed down some by the size of the letters, trying to figure it out, but I think, even so, they were taken away much too fast. Oh well. I need to give it up. The program is over.
