I've already read the profile of Jennifer Lawrence and the article about monsters. I think the only movie I've seen of hers was "Don't Look Up" which wasn't mentioned. Of course, I've seen "Silver Linings Playbook" but I don't remember much about that.

You haven't seen Winter's Bone? First thing I saw her in. I highly recommend it!





Also American Hustle! One of my all-time favorite movies. (I've seen it three times, the number of times I've watched most of my favorite movies, excluding the one I watched 22 times.)

I haven't thought of "American Hustle" in a very long time. I've never seen it but I remembering wanting to.

I've been away from home for about a week and a half now, so I guess I'm two issues behind again.  :-\

I highly recommend it! 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's streaming in a bunch of places. i've heard the director, David O. Russell, is an asshole, but then I like Chinatown, too. Rewatched that a couple of years ago.

I still haven't gotten the latest. I used to get it on Tuesdays, then Wednesdays. Now it must be Fridays or Saturdays because it wasn't there today (I don't check my mail every day).

I'm slogging my way through the Nov. 3 article on data centers. I wouldn't ordinarily read it, and I might give up and not finish it, but I've started reading it because a data center is currently being built in the county where I grew up, and others are in the planning stage, and there are concerns about how much water data centers use and also how much electricity.
