Tomorrow Man

Hi there, LOBers. I'm sure that, like me, you've been spending some time catching up tv series and movies that you haven't had a chance to watch during your busy schedules. Now that we're all at home and don't have any live footie to watch, I thought it might be useful to start a series of threads on recommendations for things to watch.

I'll go first. Kate and I had the chance to watch Noble Jones' independent drama "Tomorrow Man" the other night. It couldn't be more apropos our times. John Lithgow stars as a man who's obsessed with conspiratorial notions, spread on the Internet, of a looming crisis. His response to this is to prepare for the apocalypse by creating a well-stocked storeroom in the back of house with innumerable emergency goods. He happened to meet a woman played by Blythe Danner who he sees as a kindred soul, as she's an obsessive hoarder. The movie proves that romantic movies with older actors work as well as those with twenty and thirty somethings. Check it out!
