Sunday In New York (1963, Peter Tewksbury) Gotta admit, I didn't think Jane Fonda did anything before Barbarella ('68), so seeing this On Demand at WatchTCM looked intriguing. Plus Rod Taylor was doing Hitchcock's The Birds around this time and Cliff Robertson was in his stride as well. It's billed as a screwball/romantic comedy love triangle in the big city. The late 50s/early 60s seemed to be littered with 'em. But '63 is my favorite year for film. Finding an unwatched gem from that year is close to the best thing that could happen just this minute, though I suspect their Sunday won't resemble anything like mine. Nifty streamer.

Google Maps has taken on competitors like MapQuest, Yahoo and Apple. But after a decade of investing, collecting data and billions of images through Street View, Google has over a billion monthly users. It updated tens of thousands of times a day and has mapped more than 220 countries and territories. Here’s a look at how Google came to dominate maps.

Angels In America (2003, Mike Nichols)

It was World A.I.D.S. Day (December 1) and in commemoration I'm re-watching Tony Kushner's Angels. The short and sweet wiki summary: Set in 1985, the film revolves around six New Yorkers whose lives intersect. At its core, it is the fantastical story of Prior Walter, a gay man living with AIDS who is visited by an angel. The film explores a wide variety of themes, including Reagan era politics, the spreading AIDS epidemic, and a rapidly changing social and political climate. Very good film with A list actors like Pacino and Streep in key roles but it's the writing that carries it for 6 hour-long episodes.

^^Gotta re-watch that. I don't remember much about it at this point, but I know I was super impressed by it way back when.
