A movie and slunch with the physicist was had today!
Quite a treat to have his company again so soon!
We last met up just two weeks ago, and that was a movie and luncheon, too.
This time, the film was one that was on his wish list: "Nosferatu", the new version, with Willem Dafoe and Nicholas Hoult.
It wasn't anything I might have seen on my own, but it was quite well played and was very true to the feel and story of the 1922 vampire classic.
He very much liked it, which was good, since the last one he chose was so poorly done.
As we were watching the credits, he asked me who the guy was who played 'Thomas Hutton".
"That was Nicholas Hoult," I said.
Nope, that name rang no bells.
So I rattled off a list of movies: my absolute favorite of his, "Warm Bodies"; the fun live action fable of "Jack the Giant Killer" in 2013; him as one of my favorite authors of my youth in "Tolkien"; him as a balls to the wall War Boy for "Mad Max Thunder Road"; with my other Nicolas in "Renfield", ripping off a bad guy's arms to beat him with them.
Nope, none of those rang a bell for the J-Dawg.
So he looked him up, using his communication device, and realized how he knew Hoult's face: it was from "The Great", a TV series on Hulu.
This more serious role gave him a real appreciation for Hoult - good!
After, he wanted french fries and I had a gift card from Tony and Laura to Texas Roadhouse, so there we went!
And guess what?
We both ordered fish and chips!
Well, kinda sorta.
(smile!)
He had fried catfish and steak fries; I had grilled salmon with baked sweet potato.
Like I said, fish and chips!
Maybe that can be our little inside joke.
(smile!)
As we have done so many times, we sat and talked about a myriad of things for about two hours, with Maya checking on us every so often to see if we needed anything.
Nope, we were just fine!
Throughout our bread course, our salads, and our dinners, we talked and talked.
I have enjoyed that with him for so many years!
Looking forward to more of that next year!
(smile!)
