Logging

Film:  Some Kind of Wonderful

I've seen this film in bits and pieces multiple times over the years, but I'm not sure I ever watched it straight through without commercials.  Did Mary Stuart Masterson get an Oscar nomination?  (A quick look up reveals she did not.  Mistake.)

A strange detail - the father discovers at one point the T-bill rate has been bumped up from 6.25% to 7%.  7%!  I believe the rate right now is .6%.  Think about that.

Note:  John Ashton plays the father -- yes, Marvin from Midnight Run, and Judge Reinhold's partner in Beverly Hill Cop.  This man deserves more screen time.
