Russell and DJ and I to the cinema to see The Last Jedi. Enjoyed every minute of it, never thought of it again until this minute. Is that the difference between art and entertainment? When entertainment is done, it’s done. The film maybe goes a little too far in the heroizing of the female, which becomes a familiar (if reversed) sort of fantasy, as apt to malignancy as its complement. The Female Warrior trope has power only when it is an exception. Giant hamburgers after, at the finish of which I vowed never to eat again.
