Message 915

Yesterday I had lunch in Nealon Park with Vanessa and Annie. In the evening Mimi and I ate dinner at Sizzler. I ate too much and was uncomfortable all night. I am going to have to cut back. Mimi and I then watched Taxi Driver. I had seen it in the theater about 35 years ago, but I had forgotten almost everything about it. One scene I did have a vivid memory of was not on the DVD. Memory is a strange thing. I do not know now whether I imagined the scene or whether this is a different cut of the movie. The cast was great and unbelievably young. Jodie Foster was only twelve years old.It was not Robert DeNiro’s or Harvey Keitel’s first film, but it was near the beginning for both of them. Because insanity is not much fun to watch, I give it only for stars.
