Meet Me In Montauk 
In reading today’s (September 28, 2021), I searched to see if you had mentioned Moonrise Kingdom in other posts, only to discover to my horror (okay, “horror” is a bit strong – maybe chagrin) that I had not commented on this post. No wonder my moniker is “frequent” and not “constant” commentator!
Well, at this point, I’m not going to comment on the films of 2012, but there will now at least be a comment on this post!
