Sometimes I watch a ton of flicks and sometimes I watch none (as is evidenced here- I did We Bury the Dead on Feb 4), but I can feel it picking up again. Finally saw Scary Movie 4 and 5 ahead of 6 that comes out in June. Not quite a #Last4Watched, but close. Last 3 watched.

In New York social circles, he was known as the “Jewish James Bond”:
a refugee from Nazi Germany whose gratitude to his American hosts was such that he volunteered to join the US army and became the CIA’s first station chief in Berlin as a mere twentysomething,
