Movie: Match Point

Were it anyone other than Woody Allen you'd be mildly impressed. But
the fact is, these characters are wooden and merely instrumental to a
bloodless story. You know he's been in command of the real
incandesence of life as a filmmaker, but here is threadbare and
functional. Revisiting Crimes and Misdemeanors in certain ways with
more rigor, but mostly with less involvement. It's a Henry Kissinger-
esque realpolitik approach to story--to use an outlandish
metaphor...atoms impacting atoms, a certain serviceable mimicry of
life emerging from a playbook on strategy. The twist about the ring
and bannister analogous to the net ball was very clever, though.

7/7/7

On this day 30 years ago, we went to Ocean City NJ for the day. I
remember getting my beach ticket (a fairly new development, that you
needed to pay to go on the beach) and looking at the date 7/7/77. 30
years later, with Rebecca, Sevi & Hart we went to the Imagination
Playground in Prospect Park and saw a brief production of he Pyramus
& Thisbe part of Midsummer Night's Dream. We met Julia and Brisa
there. Then we went to the Double D swimming pool. Back now, Hart's
napping, Sevi's reading "Henry & Mudge" with Rebecca.
