The Commuter et al

Middle-aged men in pressure-packed situations that give them one last chance to shine. That seems to be the common theme of the movies I’m watching …Left Behind and When Angels Sleep on Netflix, Liam Neeson in The Commuter (Amazon Prime) tonight. Terrible movies all, but apparently they have something I’m looking for. I wonder what. How much better spent would be the time needed to watch those movies if I was instead learning Javascript or ASP.NET, writing my novel, doing something social. Oh well, it seems to be something I need to do right now …. crashing on the couch after dinner, cuddled up with Kramer, a much lower maintenance companion than any woman, watching crap and dozing.
