- The haul.
- I can't say that how my dad's doing is a good thing but he's alive.
- Two movies picked out for tonight, one of which is from today's group. Trouble bound (1993), directed by Jeffrey Reiner, starring Patricia Arquette, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Madsen, and Sal Jenko. I'll come back when this is uploaded and tell you the second one. Stay tuned.

Two movies tonight. Rom-com throwbacks.
First up, St. Elmo's Fire (1985), directed by Joel Schumacher, starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Andie MacDowell and Mare Winningham. I've seen this one a few times over the years.

- Dad's surgery went fine.
- First film tonight, Pretty Village, Pretty Flame (1996), a 1996 Serbian film directed by Srđan Dragojević, about the Bosnian war.

And some not so good things today, headed up by the death of Sir Patrick Stewart at 86. Sad to see him go. But we too will become one with the Borg.

Dad still has a will to live, despite an amputation set for tomorrow.
First up, Catch .44 (2011), directed by Aaron Harvey, starring Forest Whitaker, Bruce Willis, Malin Åkerman, Nikki Reed, Deborah Ann Woll, and Brad Dourif. It's a crime thriller.

Second up, 'Round Midnight (1986), directed by Bertrand Tavernier, starring Dexter Gordon, François Cluzet, Sandra Reaves-Phillips, Lonette McKee, Christine Pascal, Herbie Hancock, John Berry, and Martin Scorsese. It's a musical drama, a drama about musicians, with great music.
