Matt man and Robin, a glance back...

Lasting impressions: As in what I took away from what has become one of the most frequently applicable movies, that incorporates one or more themes that just about everyone can relate to..."personal journey, success, as well as fear of failure, that are in turn explored in a therapeutic relationship, and the choice between happiness and recognition..." Could you ask for more in one movie, that is captured in turn by the title...

Out of season: As well as out of character, for Robin Williams to play a serious fellow, to another, less mature actor, who is taking sarcasm to whole other level and ends up stepping over the line. Which, in our therapy world, is known as "testing my patience...watch it buddy!" As well as finding out the limits of good will...

Keep Hunting: Might have to wait until next season, as in the one where we find ourselves at least wishing, if not extending a gesture of "Peace on earth, good will toward men" to one and all, indiscriminately. At least if the first few minutes of "World News" is any indication...perhaps if we all just were a bit stronger willed...

"Watch it would ya?!" A mixed message type of comment made when someone is not paying attention or failing to follow instructions. But here I'm simply inviting to watch it, see "Good Will Hunting" for yourself, and see if you come away agreeing that the price of good will is, as the Mastercard commercial estimates, "priceless" and that when it comes to extending it beyond what's considered "seasonal" such good will has apparently gone...fishing. Going to great depths, as in collectively casting...

"The Will of the People" As stated in Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "...shall be the basis of the authority of the government" which, one can still hope, will be expressed through acts of goodness over...

"Keep Good Will alive in 25"! Can you come up with a better meme, or theme, as a basis for looking forward...?

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
