NP - This Xmas Season's Movies

[Mark Kohut]

yet, even though trailers are not meant to be viewed....(do you by a book
by it's cover; or worse, the catalog copy--if
you ever get to see it; or the ISBN registration decryption?)----

if you don't rather cry or tear up mightily with necessary stoic control,
then you haven't 'seen' that is, felt it....even Casey does so briefly.

I am damn glad I KNEW NOTHING about it but Lonergan and Casey Affleck
before I went...
or I might not have gone.
