in the movie vein just came across this fantastic description:

And Nathan Englander contrasted Tom Cruise in his 50s with a typical movie star of that age 50 years ago: “Try Walter Matthau in ‘The Taking of Pelham 123.’ I’m not saying he wasn’t a dreamboat. I’m saying he reflects a life well lived in the company of gravity and pastrami.” (Pete Epstein, Mashpee, Mass., and Paul Goldberg, Stamford, Conn.)

Well, at this point I’m feeling like maybe I should give hifi another chance. Maybe I was at the wrong point in my life to be watching it? But it was either that or Trainspotting, and for reasons I’ll explain elsewhere, that one wasn’t an option. 😂

See you with a new installment next week! And maybe I’ll see if I can convince him to watch it again before the essay is over 😂
