I liked OK. I will try another one in this series in the future....humorous, mad capped.

Digger - Official Title Announcement (2026) Tom Cruise

Right up my alley...I love it when Tom Cruise and other seemingly typecast actors go off script and make a film totally off type....I miss being able to see films like I did in NYC and in CA. There is a massive theater very close to me but it only shows very commercial. mostly French films, mostly kids films. The closest decent theater is the Rialto in Nice ( iffy parking, tiny rooms) or Antibes...new theater, I need to check it out. Maybe Xmas day. 

Had I stayed in the US, I would have tried to get into film somehow...into the photography part of it....another life, path not broken.

How bout a pizza in France?

I like this camembert with procuitto, thick crust, no pesky tomato. I like that they have 3 sizes, usually there is just one size...forget about buying a slice...that's just not done here.

I go to one local supermarket that has underground parking. This pizza parlor is right above the parking...OH, the smell of pizza slaps you in the face when you get out of the car. I am craving pizza.

 

Lumpy Skin Disease

Around 70 farmers gathered in front of the Alpes-Maritimes administrative center at dawn on Tuesday, December 16, to protest the total culling of herds affected by lumpy skin disease. A delegation was received at the prefecture.

I can't believe they even got near the Pref. as it is like Fort Knox. This is where I have to go to deal with my visa...not a fun place...and now, it's no fun and stinky.

 

Mordred, A Round Table Knight

 

Chatterbox

The names just appear out of thin air.

 

Ecrans

Kinda crazy but I kinda like it.

 

Finished this yesterday

This was a very good book. I love this author and am used to his voice. The only thing that is difficult are the names...so many characters all with unfamiliar names but after awhile you get the hang of it and he is nice enough to kind of remind you who the person it. This was a long one of his, many layers over many years, a great murder (s) mystery.
