Post-Mad Men Afternoon Delight

Not having seen the Mad Men finale yet, when I saw "Coke" in several recaps, I thought "What a perfect way to end this show". And a lot better than throwing Don out the window, I must say!

This takes me immediately back to my late 70s childhood. I was not quite born when this first aired in 1971, but this and a couple of other variations aired throughout the decade and into the early 80s. For those feeling the midday blahs,  this could be the perfect pick-me-up. Have a great day!

Love And Mercy Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lioWzrpCtGQ

Finally after more than thirty years, Brian Wilson, the musical genius who gave all and then some so the Beach Boys could have rapid and continued success, finally gets his own biopic, entitled Love and Mercy. As Younger Brian and Older Brian are essentially two very different sides of the same coin, it is only fitting that each one is played by a separate and distinct actor, respectively Paul Dano and John Cusack. Based upon this trailer, stellar work appears to be turned in by Paul Giamatti as the controlling Dr. Eugene Landy, and by Elizabeth Banks as Melinda, Wilson's current wife, who not only understands and appreciates his genius qualities, but also helps him find his human, life-embracing side as well. I cannot wait until this opens in June.

And this is just my humble Mikey The Movie Guy prediction, but I believe that Love And Mercy has just the right amount of underdog Americana that has won Best Picture in the past.

So I'm saying that Love And Mercy will win Best Picture next year.
