ezra movie, robert deniro

 in the afternoon i went to see the movie 'ezra', robert deniro plays the comic's dad. also recognized whoopi goldberg, as the comic's manager, and vera farmiga, as the comic's nebraska friend. i went to see it as i knew it was about a stand-up comic, and his autistic son. i do like movies about stand-up comedy, and i do like road movies. but therein lies where the movie fell short, in my opinion. there was not a lot of standup comedy depicted in it, essentially just two scenes. and while in the middle of watching it i said to myself that this is a rip-off of 'rain man', another movie about a cross-country journey with an autistic person. it became cross-country as the comic was trying to get to california to appear on the jimmy kimmel show. i saw it in edina, at southdale mall. i was running a little late and ended up having lunch at the theater, a hot dog. i decided to move back going for a sandwich at jersey mike's as the line was too long when i went there for lunch. it worked just fine going there for a sandwich in the evening before the next event as there was no line that time. i accomplished plenty in the morning, getting to aldi for groceries fairly early. then it was on to the post office, where one order was picked up, a postcard. and i got a can of beer from a nearby liquor store, from a micro-brewery i haven't been to yet. looks like there is an anniversary party in a week at this liquor store, i picked up a promo card. i got this can from the walk-in cooler i had discovered a week earlier, and now there are four beers waiting. i then went to the copy store, printed an event ticket, a play at the guthrie, it will be in two weeks. then i went to cheapo, where i bought two discs. there was the soundtrack to the movie 'big easy', and a john wayne disc about his love of america. i got some postcards as well, usually some cool ones there. one was of hitchock with a bird, one of a ronald reagan movie, 'bedtime for bonzo', one of the movie 'blues brothers'. had to think of brawler when i got the third one. after the movie i wasn't home for long, wanted to get to the st. paul saints baseball game. saints lost to syracuse, 8-3. it was food truck night, i had some fries and a slushie from the 'dine 11' truck, a former ambulance. and there was fireworks. when i heard 'summer nights' from 'grease' at the end of the show i said i sang that in chorus class in junior high. during my walks i found 78 cents.
