Jayne,

What a terrible fire in Portugal, and I'm so glad your daughter and her family and their friend got out safely! I've had that "just in the nick of time" experience, and it's a blessing you carry with you for the rest of your life. What a life-changing relief for them and a great boon for you as well.
There may be some survivors' guilt but that will pass. They're so lucky!

This is the first time I've looked at this thread in many months, so Michael Ferris, I hadn't seen your posts on Almodovar (I don't get notifications, having been a member forever and must have canceled them years ago). Thanks for the Julieta review and trailer. One of the films I saw at moma was Dark Habits, which was the jaw-droppingly wildest yet. He is like a cross between Fassbinder and Fellini, updated and funnier than either of them.
