Happy Friday! Kind of a ramshackle end to a ramshackle week, not sure how many people will join me. But who cares! I love this movie!
Jaan-E-Mann! It’s strange, it’s beautiful, it’s everything. Oh, and it’s on Netflix.
At 3pm Chicago time I will put up a comment “and PLAY” and y’all can start with me. Or, if you arrive late, just fastforward to however many minutes past 3pm Chicago time it is. That is, if you join at 4:15, fastforward to 75 minutes. And then we all just comment along together! It’s fun!
