Susan Keaton Streep

MyFace got a new job and she is very busy. So busy, in fact, that we have had to reschedule multiple get togethers over the last few months. Thus, when she suggested we get together for happy hour, we all made sure we were there because we needed our MyFace fill.

And fill we got. We were discussing a movie (It’s Complicated) we watched while at the 55+ community we often frequent and MyFace was trying to recall the characters. “Susan Sarandon and Jack Nicklaus were great in that movie.” “Do you mean Jack Nicholson?” I asked. “They weren’t in that movie,” That’s Not Chinese advised. I was waiting for her to tell us they weren’t Chinese, but MyFace continued on. “Oh, yes, Jack Nicholson. Yes, yes, they were. Keanu Reeves is in it and her daughter dates him and then she dates him.” “That is a different movie,” That’s Not Chinese continued to correct MyFace. “Maybe it was Diane Keaton,” MyFace told us. “No, I think you are thinking of Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep,” That’s Not Chinese advised while Sleepless giggled.

MyFace turned to Sleepless and said, “Look it up on your smartphone. Mine has a low battery. That’s what happens when you use it all of the time.” “So I’ve heard,” Sleepless quipped and I added, “It is the year of the rabbit.”

Sleepless confirmed the actors in It’s Complicated and then advised us that the movie starring Keanu Reeves, Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton was Something’s Gotta Give.

“Oh, yes, that’s right. It was Jeff Baldwin and Meryl Streep in It’s Complicated,” MyFace replied. “Not Jeff, Alec,” That’s Not Chinese corrected her. “OK, Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep in It’s Complicated and Jack Jack Nicholson and Diane Lane in Something’s Gotta Give.” “Diane Keaton,” That’s Not Chinese advised her. “Who’s on first?” I asked That’s Not Chinese. “It’s complicated,” Sleepless replied.
