THE FILM FOLLOWS
Iris (Watts) has had a long, complex friendship with
Walter (Bill Murray). Walter is an irresistible charmer, a brilliant
author, a lover of many women, and a master at letting down loved ones.
When he dies suddenly, Iris is left to deal with all he left behind —
three ex-wives with unfinished business, his interrupted literary
legacy, and his beloved beast Apollo (Bing). It's not that Iris doesn't
like dogs, but this is Manhattan, and she’ll get kicked out of her
building if
they find out she’s pretty much trying to house a horse.Yet
as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding to the animal, she begins to
come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner
life.

This is going to be a fun one!
ReplyDeleteHope Apollo does not eat her up in her sleep....
DeleteMassive but adorable dog. Looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteImagine how much money it would take daily to feed it!
DeleteI can tell you this. I pay roughly $80 every 3 week to feed my great dane. But we do buy high quality food for all of our pets, so I imagine if one buys the cheap crap, if would cost a little less. But more in vet bills in the long run.
DeleteI still cannot imagine why the hell you needed a great dane in your life! It could be the empty nester syndrome making you fill tha cassa with fury kids LOL
DeleteBecause, dahlink with Jason traveling so much and 2 women alone in the house for weeks at a time, that's a recipe for disaster if anyone wanted to break in and cause us harm. I do own a gun and will use it if necessary, but the point is to never have to remove it from its safe unless absolutely necessary. Nobody wanted to come to my door when my boxers were alive, so as long as I am breathing, I will own a big dog. While I live in quite a safe neighborhood, we do have the trash migrating this way from Chicago and now South Bend is the most dangerous city in Indiana (beating out Gary and Indianapolis surprisingly) and the 22nd most dangerous city in the whole country. I'd rather my dane protect me than have to make a decision to use deadly force on an intruder.
DeleteYou think Moo would act all dangerous in such a case? Kinda looks like a lazy baby to me LOL
DeleteHe's only 5 months old and 95 pounds, so not yet. Fully grown he'll be about 150 pounds and he's already very attached to Allison and I (Jason, not so much since he's not home consistently like us girls are). But I do think if he felt we were threatened, he will get those attack instincts within the next few months. He did just grow into his big boy bark, so hopefully that will be enough of a deterrent to keep the riff raff at bay now and in the future.
DeleteI'd rather have a squad of commando raccoons than having to feed a canine horse in the house LOL I would also put deadly laser beams around the yard LOL
DeleteI was excited until Watts was mentioned. Might give it a go because of the dog and see if I can overlook my disdain for the actress.
ReplyDeleteShe wears interesting outfits in the film, big coats, scarves and such fun things.
