unhinged movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a redbox rental, 'unhinged'. it is a thriller about a case of road rage. i recognized russell crowe in it. plenty of car chases in it, and there is a body count. also some double crossing. i noticed how the license plates on the cars said 'america's heartland' to make it a more generic location for the story. the closing credits said it was filmed in louisiana. also in the closing credits there was a cover of the song 'don't fear the reaper'. naturally there are plenty of factors leading up to the road rage. there was a traffic jam, the kid is late for school and must serve detention, the mom is getting divorced, and she loses a client. also a grandma in an assisted living facility. and the news reporter in the background tells the story of crowe's character, a divorced man that lost his job after some kind of injury. the movie held my attention. it was also an errand running day, so it meant going to the post office, both e-bay orders were there. thankful there was no yellow card as the line was long for the window. i was pleased that when i returned the movie to the gas station, i found a little godfather's pizza there. i watched some of the college football on TV, it was the army-navy game. it was foggy, which likely explains the low score. it was 3-0 army for a while. then early in the 4th quarter i left to go to office depot to get some more baseball card pages for the charlie brown cards that had just arrived as an e-bay order. i did some fact-finding and found out there is a charlie brown calendar at barnes and noble, as there is a location in the same plaza as office depot. so i am hopeful there still will be one after january 1 as they will be discounted by then. i counted 7 at this time. another place that has them, last time i checked, was fed-ex office. found out army went on to win 15-0. it led me to wonder if another historic football rivalry was played this year, in spite of the pandemic. but i found out the harvard-yale game was not played this year. in the evening i went to aldi for my weekly grocery order. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 13 cents. so i have went beyond my goal of wanting beer money for christmas dinner. i also saw the news how musician charley pride has died. it meant something to me as i had seen charley in concert in 2012, saying i need to go now when i have the chance. i knew he had played some professional baseball as well before becoming a musician. and how he had been at spring training for the texas rangers.
