What a waste of talent. And a chance to resurrect Christie-esque mysteries. And I still can't get over the southern-ish accent.
When I am bored or traveling, I write the 21-Word Review part of this blog. While this is entertaining for me, it may be obnoxious and/or tedious for my reader(s).

The 21-Word Review: Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Book by Jerry Seinfeld
A gift from my daughter's boyfriend, so I can't gush. However, I really enjoyed reading how the comedy sausage is made.

The 21-Word Review: Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Netflix)

The 21-Word Review: Triangle of Sadness (Delta In-Flight)
Steve suggested it or I would have passed it by. Very "White Lotus" but darker and stranger and often much grosser.

The 21-Word Review: Savannah by John Jakes
My parents read his "North and South" series on the beach over the summer one year. A bit soapy for me.

The 21-Word Review: Bad Santa (Hotel Showtime)
When you decide to offend, sometimes the best option is to offend absolutely everyone. Just go for it - complete scorched earth.

The 21-Word Review: Disenchanted (Disney+)
Amy Adams's smile can cover a multitude of sins, and the actors are trying very hard, but it just doesn't work,

The 21-Word Review: Spirited (Apple TV)
Dickens, music, dancing, Ferrell, Reynolds, Spencer - all things that I like and should combine to a timeless classic, but somehow don't.

The 21-Word Review: Enola Holmes 2 (Netflix)
A casting director somewhere was asked to find a shaved-head skinny kid for Stranger Things and imagined Ms. Brown. Amazing.

The 21-Word Review: Sheryl (Delta In-Flight)
Sure these biopics are designed to deify the subject, but the testimonials from industry legends imply the deification is absolutely justified.

The 21-Word Review: Clerks III (Delta In-Flight)
I watched a lot of movies on planes last week. This is the only one that keeps coming back to me.

The 21-Word Review: Bodies, Bodies, Bodies (Delta In-Flight)
Pete Davidson and some comely young people die in ascending order of attractiveness. Pete dies first - hope that's not a spoiler.

The 21-Word Review: Lightyear (Delta In-Flight)
Not terrible, but lacking the charm of Toy Story. I just didn't believe this movie infatuated Andy. (But I'm not 12.)

The 21-Word Review: The Commando (Delta In-Flight)
So thoroughly awful that I turned it off after 20 minutes choosing to stare blankly into the dark airplane void instead.

The 21-Word Review: Minari (Delta In-Flight)
A movie that has been at the top of my "to watch" list for ages. Beautiful, except for the missing ending.

The 21-Word Review: Minions, the Rise of Gru (Delta In-Flight)
No, I did not wear a suit because (1) I'm not a teenager and (2) I was on a transpacific flight.
