"The best part of that movie was seeing Billy in jeans." I agree. Keep the Change was the worst Billy film ever.
Passed Away is in the "Bad" category too. It tried to be a comedy, but the sitcom-like situations and setups were so silly and outrageous that the jokes fell flat. Like hiding a fugitive in a casket. Just bad writing. Good cast though, and I think it was one of those situations that each talented actor was roped in by the thought of working with another. Bob Hoskins, Peter Reigert, Blair Brown, Frances McDormand, Maureen Stapleton, and Billy, all underutilized.
I have to say that watching Billy play so much against his usual role--as a dumb guy with an inferiority complex due to a larger-than-life father, was amusing at times. Yet even that was strange, as he would suddenly revert to a forceful assertive guy, like attacking the kid who knocked up his daughter. In the limousine on the way to dad's burial. See what I mean about what is considered funny? My favorite line was a bad guy saying Francis Scanlon (his character) could use his "low-budget Kennedy charm" to be a PR guy. An inside joke but also insulting. Forgettable film, don't bother if you're a real Petersen fan.

Pombal. That was the name I wanted to remember. What a great saying from a far-seeing man. To see a better city in all that destruction, an opportunity to improve while grieving for their dead. Thank you for helping with those names too--Belem, Joao V, they are beautiful names.
I too have felt 2 very minor earthquakes. In NYC and in a town called Saratoga Springs, NY. Both times it was the weird feeling in the atmosphere, unease, not so much the movement of the earth. I learned later what happened.
I will write more later, I am going to write a new chapter tonight , You have good taste in TV shows! I like many of them too.
Ate ja!
