I had a nice time taking my friend for her first outing after surgery. She wanted to see the film "Blue Jasmine", so I picked her up and we really enjoyed it. As usual with Woody Allen, the acting is what is watchable, not the story. Cate Blanchet is pretty much the whole enchilada, and she is amazing. Sally Hawkins is great as well, but there is a condecension in Allen towards females that is always present, and I never like it. But Blanchet is a complete character, even if somewhat ridiculed by the plot and writing. Her fate is harrowing, especially because of her and her sister's background, though that may have been a cheap touch. She may very well get the Oscar this year.
Our dogs were horrible last night, as a result we got no sleep and it's going to be a bumpy ride today, as Margo Channing would say.
