Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 26, 2019

(It was actually Ralph Fiennes.)

Man I hate when that happens. If I don’t write it down, I’ll forget what it was I remembered when I wake up.

Part of the human experience.

Warren Beatty! I always forget Shirley MacLaine’s brother’s name.

Sonny Tufts!

I guess senior moments get us all at a certain age.

That is SO me!!

In my psych classes way back in the Dork Ages (deliberate metaplasmus), that was called “The Tip of the Tongue Phenomenon.”

Fortunately, it definitely affected my young students, too, not just us Boomers and our parents.

The only good reason to remember Liam Neeson is to avoid movies where he’s in…

I have done this myself!

My mother had Alhimerizer’s. It destroyed her life. She went from a bank manager, world traveler, meticulous house keeper, and a great cook to not knowing her own name. The scary part for me is I’ve got her genes. Whenever a “Senior Moment” comes along, there’s that little fear that this is how it starts, before the joyful “Aha” of remembering.

There’s always imdb.com for these sorts of movie/TV questions.

I have IMDB on speed-dial

I usually get it faster than that. :o)

Been there but I don’t wake my spouse in the middle of the night when ‘Eureka’ strikes.

I usually get it faster than that. :o)

I have a knack for faces. Drives my wife nuts. I’ll say something like “Know who that guy is? He was the villain in Hell on Wheels. You know, the tall guy?” She usually says, “I don’t remember.” or “No, he’s not.” if there is an age difference in the or makeup difference. If I’m wrong, that will come to me too. She doesn’t keep up with stuff like that. She can watch a movie and a month later forget the plot.

That drives me a little crazy, too. ;o)

Ah, if I had a dollar for every time that’s happened to me! Except the person I was conversing with earlier in the day usually isn’t there for me to tell. A friend recently joked that she’d call me the next morning at 3:00 A.M. to tell me the name when she woke up and remembered it. I said, “Please don’t”, and we both laughed. :)

Yeah, but what was his character’s name? Obi something, right?

This is so ME! Happens all the time.

I for one am grateful for ALEXA in this case. I don’t always get the right answer if I don’t word the question properly but if it’s about a movie or whatever she usually has the answer. My head is left free to worry about other crap in the middle of the night :-)

My usual time for revelations is 2 in the morning.

PLEASE. Keep your cameras out of our house. (BYW, it was Fred Gwynne)

Everything we’ve learned is still stored in our brain. Sometimes it takes a while to retrieve it, but it is in there. My brain usually finds the information in about an hour. Good brain!

Sometimes that’s how my brain works.

So was there an earlier strip where he couldn’t remember and this is the follow up?

… and then to Kevin Bacon…

No jury would convict her if she hit him in the face with a pillow.

Oh I hate when that happens and the name of a movie too.

Sharing brings togetherness.

She is tempted to bring her hands together around his throat.

At least you can google an actor (assuming you can think of the name of one of their movies). When you forget the name of a friend or acquaintance . . . oh, boy.
