The Job Is Still Fun

Tough choice to make this week.  How to honor the #1 movie this week called The Nun?  Do I choose a still from The Blues Brothers with... what's her name?  Or do I pick something that honors the trailers I kept seeing?  It was always the "jump scare" part, to (try and) coin a phrase.  You know: the nun looks one way, and the scare comes from the other.  So I decided to go for the ladder... latter, and I thought of the perfect example of it, contained in the attached pic.  By the way, are you in said attached pic?  Wink wink.  Also, beware of people on Facebook whose only photo is of a bikini model, usually a girl... something tells me they aren't who they think they are.  Anyways, I spent the last few minute minutes reading about a feller by the name of Hal Holbrook... sorry, that's Boyd Holbrook.  No relation, apparently, like Kate Bosworth and Keri Russell.  Having the same name was close enough.  As you can read from the first sentence of his IMDb bio, Boyd Holbrook is an American actor and fashion model.  You know which of those two is the more important, of course, in this, the Age of the Selfie.  Personally, I kinda hope Cosmopolitan is wrong about the impending Age of the Belfie.
The only other geniune debut this week is the Luc Besson- and The Bride Wore Black-inspired Peppermint.  Look for it next year when it becomes either an Amazon Prime or a Netflix miniseries.  As for our current Russian agent in the White House, well... nope, sorry.  Even though most of his staff is humoring him most of the time, and they're not actually killing the Syrian president, among others, the job is still fun.  Besides, he really really can't go back to the private sector.  Too many lawsuits waiting for him, too many creditors and ex-employees seeking payment.  Meanwhile, this Brett Kavanaugh could very well be this generation's Robert Bork, minus the voluminous waterfalls of flop sweat.  I do like the way Cory Booker phrased one of his remarks, saying "It's not just about Roe v. Wade.  There's health care, and things that affect people's lives."  Yes, yes, we know... Roe v. Wade affects people's lives, too.  But the slight implication of that is that Republicans and their judicial nominees are petulant children when it comes to Roe v. Wade.  But why should Republicans care about that?  After all, these laws of men like Roe v. Wade, all that comes and goes like the tide.  Republicans answer only to a higher power... the Koch brothers.
