None of you will be surprised...
... to hear that I drank too much and didn't eat enough at the wake.
Still, apart from the hangover, everything went swimmingly.
Now, to other news.
The second movie night went well, we saw Aeon Flux, which was not utter crap, and ate at Arthurs Pizza.
Inventive premise, and diverting to boot.
***
3 stars.
Although I must say, it was interesting to see a movie with three separate intro sequences, or pre-logues, before the main action started.
Kitty and I finally saw Flight Plan, on dvd.
Also diverting, but the plot wasn't anywhere near as compelling as The Lady Vanishes, the Hitchcock on which it was based. Also, did it need to be an unfeasably large aeroplane? No. It just needed her to be involved in the design of it. I think what they gained in 'production value' they lost in 'lack of claustrophobia' by making that particular decision. It would have been better in a standard jumbo.

3 stars.
(And it's nice to be seening films again.)
