Being ill makes me do strange things like watch movies, read books, sleep, wear comfortable clothes, eat healthy food, and rest in general. Well, this morning I caught a movie on IFC that was outstanding. A Love Song for Bobby Long is different. The majority of the movie is set in New Orleans and the actors have embraced decent southern accents, attitudes and actions. This is not for children. Adult themes and language should keep the kids away. It is moving and the actors are very good. Scarlett Johannson is so pretty and really nails her part. John Travolta is a surprise and does a tremendous job. I've known these people. As a matter of fact some of them are still around. Yankees probably won't like this film. IMDB has all the info and rating is 7.2 out of 10. I think it's better than that.
Time to gear up for a methodical, non hurried day. Sometimes it's good to remember that life, at its best, is casual.
