pesky computers…..it is amazing how frustrating it is when they are not working properly.
For me, the films of Garry Marshall are such a welcome respite from the real pain in life. Perhaps if my work wasn’t as it is, I might wish to see or experience something painful or dark in a film. But I don’t see anything wrong with enjoying something that is sweet and kind. And funny. And he always touches on the human spirit. His films are one of the best pleasures of my life.
