Week in Review #45

I am reading several books. I've finished none.

Century of Viewing #45

1960s

• 1960 Battle in Outer Space.  A Japanese science fiction movie. I listened more than watched because it was one of those kinds of vision days. BUT it sounded awesome and delightful and one I want to watch again again on another day.
• 1964 Dr. Strangelove. Black and white movie. DARK COMEDY. Strange, strange subject matter though extremely relevant at the time of its release. Definitely glad I watched it.

1990s

• 1996 That Thing You Do. I love, love, love this movie!!!! I love the soundtrack and the vibes. A group forms and breaks up just as quickly--but not without giving the world one hit song.

2000s

• 2003 Return to the Batcave. Was it ridiculous...YES. Did I enjoy it for the most part. Also yes. I didn't love it, mind you, so much that I want to watch it again and again. I don't. But I don't regret my time either.
