She’s a sports reporter and insider for The Athletic. She previously worked as an NFL reporter and analyst at ESPN. I’m not sure how old this is because she has ESPN in her posted screen name, but hasn’t worked there for almost two years.

That’s good use of a selfie

Now that is going the extra mile. In fact, many miles.

Johnny’s remarks:

Some good nudity in this update including some international actresses in Dead Europe, Lore and The Most Fun You Can Have Dying plus frequent nudity in Housos vs. Authority while there’s some good scenes from Lily Sullivan in Mental and in the Jack Irish telemovies.

This is a virtually unseen (155 votes at IMDb) American comedy. I appears that most of the people that saw it hated it (3.6 rating at IMDb).

A divorcee gathers her close friends to celebrate her impending split, only to reveal that she intends to burn her divorce settlement money to start fresh. Each of her friends has their own strong opinion as to what she should do with the money instead of throwing it in the campfire. To calm the chaos, she comes up with the idea of splitting the money and giving each woman roughly $20,000 to spend as they wish, as long as it’s gone by the end of the weekend. Over the next few days, misadventures abound.

Dionne is too far from the camera for us to determine whether she’s naked.

I blew up a couple of frames with AI, but it really didn’t solve the mystery.

Japanese art film. Original title 箱男 (Hako Otoko).

A nameless man gives up his identity to live with a large cardboard box over his head. He meets a range of characters as he wanders in Tokyo.

That description makes it sound silly. It is not. It was adapted from a 1973 novel by Kobo Abe, the internationally acclaimed author of Woman in the Dunes. Abe’s writing is frequently compared to the works of the Western Absurdists/Surrealists like Samuel Beckett and Franz Kafka.

Goodreads describes the novel as follows:

In this eerie and evocative masterpiece, the nameless protagonist gives up his identity and the trappings of a normal life to live in a large cardboard box he wears over his head. Wandering the streets of Tokyo and scribbling madly on the interior walls of his box, he describes the world outside as he sees or perhaps imagines it, a tenuous reality that seems to include a mysterious rifleman determined to shoot him, a seductive young nurse, and a doctor who wants to become a box man himself. The Box Man is a marvel of sheer originality and a bizarrely fascinating fable about the very nature of identity.

French TV film from earlier this week

I have not seen it, but the summary is intriguing:

Exactly one year after a tragic bus accident that cost the lives of 4 children from the village, a car ends up in the same place, in the same ravine. The driver, Amalia, who died instantly, is none other than the sister of the bus driver. Téva and Oriane know that they are intervening at an inexplicable crime scene. It was neither a technical fault, nor suicide, nor falling asleep, nor driving errors, nor malicious intent that led to this accident. The experts are unable to explain the reason for this extraordinarily violent road accident. The driver had simply driven straight, without ever panicking, without ever veering off course. Incomprehensible. Investigators conclude that it must somehow be a murder disguised as an accident. But how was it pulled off? And how does it connect to the bus tragedy?

The nudity is not so intriguing. It’s just the usual “Europeans love autopsies” scene, but with less green tint than usual.
