catching up with keanu and channing

Trust me, this post is practically already written.

That's because I'd waxed rhapsodic a mere two days ago about the two movies that I'd missed, partly or totally, last week.

Those were "Good Fortune", with Keanu Reeves as a kinda sorta angel, and "Roofman", with Channing Tatum as a kinda sorta escape artist.

But lets check the A*List reel to see what else was screened, shall we?

Yes, there was a third movie, wasn't there?

"Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" was not the concert fest that I'd hoped for.

The last time I'd been to a movie that featured his music was in 2019, I was dancing in my seat almost the entire time.

"Blinded By The Light" this was not.

Instead, it was a deep look at Bruce Springsteen at a troubled time in his life, when mental illness was threatening to destroy his career.

Had it not been for his support network, that made sure "Nebraska" was recorded and released exactly as he wanted in 1982, there might not have been the music several years later in 1987 that inspired the journalist Sarfraz Manzoor to pen his memoir of the impact of Springsteen's music on his life.

Come to think of it, I do hope the musician has seen that 2019 movie.

We each and every one of us have an impact on others, whether we are aware of that impact or not.

That's important to remember.

We are not alone.
