Too Old

I'm getting too old, they announced the nominees for the Academy Awards this morning, I have not seen any of the movies, I have not heard of any of  the movies, and I don't recognize anyone getting an award. Then I realized, the last movie I went to was probably twenty years ago, have no idea what it was. OK, not sure how many years ago it was ...............

We were in LA, after a cruise which did not go well, visiting with a friend of a friend who lived out there, she lived in a house that John Wayne had built for a fellow actor, or something like that. One of the events she had planned for us, was a movie, not just a movie, a "by invitation" to a pre-screening of a movie,, wasn't even named yet. Marlan Brando was in it, some kid that is in a lot of pirate movies now, he was an escort or something, went out with a lot of women, I must admit I don't remember a lot about it. We had to fill out a form after the movie about how we liked it.

That was the last movie I saw.
