Studly Doright was out of town most of last week, and by noon on Wednesday I was bored. The best cure for boredom is a movie, so I took myself out to see The Post, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. I must say I’m an excellent date. I don’t order outrageously priced snacks and I don’t talk during the movie.
I’m not going to review this film other than to say “For the love of country, go see it!”
The acting is incredible and the story so timely it’ll make your heart hurt. There are journalists out there right this minute who are working their butts off to bring us the truth in the tradition of the courageous and tenacious men and women who prevailed during the Nixon years. Never forget that when trump starts calling their work “fake news.”
The film should be required viewing by every American. Peace, people.

This is the only one of the Academy Award nominees I have seen to date, and I agree: timely and necessary, even for those of us not living in trumplandia.
As an aside: seeing the technology of the printing presses and the running of the newsroom was fascinating.

I agree! I used to work for a small newspaper and helped set type. But the scale the Post was printed on was like a whole ‘nother world.

I need to check if it’s playing locally. I can’t believe I haven’t seen it yet. – Marty

Saw it today. It was terrific. Totally. I loved how Meryl Streep played Katherine Graham – as hesitant and self-doubting but then believing in herself – it such a subtle growth, beautifully portrayed.

Form a line , citizens and dreamers all. And force march all your lazy asses to that box offices for some “required viewing.” And then it’s down to that Floridian Bohemian Re-Education Camp.
Power To The People.
