Unplanned

The wife and I saw it Sunday.

I think it's a worthwhile film.  It's always tough to "do agenda" without coming across as heavy-handed, but this one does a pretty good job, certainly much better than another agenda film, the more slickly produced "Miss Sloane."

Speaking of which, while that was heavily stumped for in the media and "Unplanned" has been ruthlessly ridiculed and even suppressed, it's gratifying to see box office results since March 29 are approaching four times what the gun-grab flick has done since 2016. Curious we never did learn what the production costs were for that flop, but see that the pro-life film has essentially doubled its money so far.

The other message that comes through loud and clear for me: The approach behind "Unplanned" is not to coerce, but to supportively persuade women to choose life.  Miss Sloane was the one demanding no choice at all.

No surprise there.

And as long as I'm on both subjects, do you think Harvey will ever get back in the game and make us wish we weren't alive?

At this point, I suspect that Harvey wishes HE wasn't alive. Now if some bad sh*t comes out about Michael Moore and Michael Bloomberg, we'll have a spate.
