I just watched “Out of the Past” (1947) starring Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and Jane Greer. I’ve seen parts of it before, but tonight was the first time I saw it from beginning to end. It’s a classic film noir selection with exactly that type of story line, and I loved it thoroughly.

For instance, I’m trying to watch program right now that has gloriously blasting background music, it sounds great for distinguishing exactly which instruments are being played, how much pocket change each musician has on his or her person, and the combined weight of their incisors, but it completely obscured what’s being said by the performers. I’ve flipped channels and found the same thing on at least half of them. Grrrrrrrr. less

Explanation: three times within the past week, I have posted something here that a few days later was referenced on the television game show “Jeopardy!” Its beloved host, Alex Trebek, passed away 19 days ago (November 8, 2020) at the age of 80; he had hosted the show for 38 years, and I have been an avid fan of the show for at least 35 years. Suffering from pancreatic cancer, Alex Trebek knew for months that it was terminal, and he was in a lot of pain, yet chose to keep working on the show as much as he could. Just two weeks prior to his death, he pre-recorded enough episodes to last until the end of December 2020. It is those pre-recorded episodes that are airing now. Some people believe in coincidences, some do not. Is this a mere coincidence?~ less
