@larand I wish they still made movies like that. And, no, I don't mean "Re-imagined remakes" of those movies. That stuff is tripe.

Today's movies are too influenced by bean-counters and metrics. Not enough 'art'.

@larand I'm lucky in that I don't have much of a sweet tooth. If I did, I am sure I'd be a lot heavier than 235 right now. :D

Some people claim it is too late to be Noir (1955) but it is about good as it gets.
@matigo Warm with a slight bit of real butter..I could deal with that.

@matigo Warm blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream…Oh that sounds so good right now.
