Still gutted by David Lynch and yesterday we lost another great. Marianne Faithfull. RIP and Thank You.

Meaning, I want to add more movie/tv scores. Here are some additional favorites in no particular order.

Here are my top 10 Films that I saw that were released in 2024. I do have a caveat though. Some of these were actually released in 2023 at Film Festivals. I posted my 2024 list on Facebook and don’t want to revise it. Here is the actual list. I didn’t get to see The Brutalist, I hear that’s good though.

I don’t look back on my posts, but I did this evening. Yes, I post the same stuff over and over again. Things fit different categories.

I haven’t seen a friend since 12/13. I haven’t hugged someone since then, I haven’t even shaken a person’s hand. Yes, I’ve had phone calls with loved ones, seen faces of colleagues on virtual meetings, and have said hello to strangers. And yes, I have the Cats who are a blessing. It’s strange to be isolated. Other than the 12/13 interaction (which was a hug) with a dear friend the only nice conversation (other than work calls, which are nice enough, but not genuine) was with the checker at Sprouts Market last Thursday. This Thursday, I’m going to a gay Happy Hour. It’ll be full of strangers, but I hope I can have a nice conversation and simply get a smile, a handshake, and a meet new people. No more than that.

Here are some songs about connection, lack of it, loneliness, isolation, etc…

It’s the end of the year 2024. I don’t have much hope for 2025, externally and internally. This evening I’m posting some clips of some of my favorite ending scenes, either from an entire movie or just simply a character. The character may come back later, but these are the endings for the psyche of the character.

*I’ll probably come back to this topic again.

**Can’t find some clips, so I’m sharing the ending score instead.

It’s the darkness, the cold, being alone, verbal attacks, mortality, the cats seem sad, not sleeping well, drinking too much, not eating enough, cancer, family, the apartment, my checking account, this town, and the want to do something more.

Just a few. I think I’ll probably do another post at some point.

I’ve been playing this song on a loop these past few days.
