Dear Diary:

I was waiting near Lincoln Center for the M66 bus to take me to the East Side. As I waited, an older woman standing near me engaged me in conversation to pass the time.

Eventually, she asked about my occupation. I told her I was a retired lawyer and that I had previously worked at an advertising agency.

She brightened and said she was also in a second career. She had retired from teaching at a public school and was now an actress.

“That’s great,” I said. “Might I have seen you perform?”

“If you ever watch ‘Law & Order’ you may have,” she said. “I sometimes play the dead body. I am very good at lying still!”

— Jerry Davidow

The corpse at the beginning of the movie The Big Chill is played by Kevin Costner.

Dept Q popped up on my phone the other day - netflix alert.

I... erm... queued that one last week, just on the strength of the trailer (yes, it is set in Edinburgh).

Will likely start watching soon -- possibly with wifey, now that we're done with The Tourist S2 (which got at least as deranged as S1, and set up a little teaser for a possible S3 in the final shot...).

Just One Look on Netflix. Another excellent crime thriller. This one originates in Poland with great English dubbing. Interesting characters and a plot worthy of following.

Just finished Department Q on Netflix; a series format of crime novels that have previously been adapted for feature films.

Was fine; the longer runtime format gives the characters room to breathe.

Yeah, no need for me to explain what it is, since you did that already brilliantly!

I hope it gets renewed for at least a second season, because chronologically the next novel/film (Fasandræberne/The Absent One) is my favorite of the six films released so far. I want to see what they can do with that storyline with +8 hours of runtime to really explore it.

There are 11 Department Q novels and knowing Netflix, we'll be lucky to get three seasons or so, before they cancel it.

And yes, Akram is awesome!
