Dreamed of living in our cottage near Sackville; visiting the Sackville post office with our postal box; telling the family about the Sopranos episode where Tony tried to force his son into military school.
Got another nine tapes from Captain Video. The woman who works there says I have a good eye for choosing the best movies!
Dinner was McDonald's.
Saw Howard Hawks' Sergeant York, for at least the fourth time. (It was one of the videos I bought.) Entertaining cornpone, though I found the moral hard to take: it's wrong to kill people who cheat you out of your bottom land, and wrong to kill government agents who are hunting you, but right to kill Germans. (He killed twenty Germans, but their machine guns were killing thousands, see?) This movie was made in 1941, when the U.S.A. was about to make its belated entry into World War II, and people were already looking for moral justifications. Hawks, one of the great directors, was working with a perfectly cast Gary Cooper.
