I like things from the past.
Malt-flavoured Muffets, Red River cereal, Bobby Hull (a guy who can thank his lucky stars he’s even alive today), well-worn jeans.
Even Robin Hood, and he’s officially from the distant past. He’s older than Niagara Falls.
["The newest version of an old favourite"]
And because of one line in Liz Braun’s recent movie review re Robin’s latest movie, I’ll schedule a trip to a theater to see it.
Here’s the line:
“What makes the movie work, however, is the presence of Cate Blanchett and Max von Sydow, the two of them a veritable cottage industry in gravitas.”
I really, really like three things about that line:
Cate Blanchett, the sweetest lookin’ Bob Dylan you’ll ever lay eyes on
Max von Sydow, the ‘bad’ part of ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” a memorable movie from my deep past
Cate and Max as a cottage industry in gravitas in a 13th century setting - that really fits.
And it’s funny too.
Sorry, that makes four things. So, I really, really like four things about that line.
And now, I tip my hat to Liz Braun for getting me out the door on a weekend.

Let me know what you think if you go. Apparently there's not much stealing from the rich or giving to the poor in this movie.
First, I have to ask my wife for some money!
