I don't know if the photo is iconic, and we had a discussion a while back on how iconic isn't as long-lasting as it used to be. Anyway, sleuths have found the original photo that was the final scene of the movie - I thought the producers just got a bunch of extras to pose with Jack Nicholson...

I also enjoyed his performance in that mini-series. I wonder how it compares to the current streaming series.

We had a long weekend here, so I took time off to read and write. I need at least two clear days before I can get into writing mode, and taking two weeks off in December and January was good for me. I've written various bits and pieces, and I finally solved a problem in my story on King Arthur...

Beauty, man, beauty. You said it only cost you 35 cents? That's awesome!

Oz was an adventure with three other companions.

The Empire Strikes Back and The Wrath of Khan. Both sequels to the first movies are considered to be among the greatest films of all time.

The Odd Couple?
