Midnight Review


I got my computer back but since then my netflix was not working.  I finally called on Friday about it and they fixed it lickey split.  I dunno why it took me so long to call but it worked well as I am having a low key weekend.  I was sorting though my list of movies to see and Midnight Cowboy popped up.  I had no idea what it was about but knew it won and Oscar - plus have been in a 70's kinda mood so I clicked play.  What a great movie - sad yes. but so touching.  Like an updated version Of Mice and Men.  Jon Voight's character (Joe Buck), although misguided is so sweet and sincere.  I could so identify as he was drawn to the broken ones, especially since he was also broken.  He and Ratso lived in squalor but they had friendship.  Sure money helps a lot in this world but humans need to connect with other humans - any other fucked up bullshit doesn't matter if you have at least one person that is glad you are here.
