Resolutions and Movies
Dec. 31st, 2016 12:54 pmAbout the first: I'm not making any of those. Because I don't know if I'll end breaking them, whether by accident or necessity, before next year is out.
About the second: I'm going to close out this year by finally seeing Doctor Strange tonight. It's the last movie I've yet to see by design this year, having taken care of Rogue One the other week.
So those are some of my plans for the foreseeable future.

Some good visual nods to Ditko's original design work in the 1960's comics work there. If anyone here has an opinion on the 3D-formatted edition, I'd be glad to read that, good or ill.
I've read on Facebook from several sources that William Christopher AKA Father Francis Mulcahy from M*A*S*H has died. He won't have been the last to die this year, but that hurts a lot of people across the planet anyway, because he and his colleagues on that series helped keep a lot of people from hurting worse than we already were for a couple of decades. Even after the series ended on CBS, because re-runs and later on, tapes and DVDs (and I assume iTunes and the like are keeping the effect going too now).
Thank you, Mr. Christopher.
There might be more later in the evening...
