What I'm watching

9 to 5

August 26, 2026

Obviously, the only thing you can do the day Dolly Parton dies is watch the movie 9 to 5 that evening with your wife and dog, in tribute. I'd forgotten big chunks of the plot and the workplace sexism is very 1980s, but OTOH, the more things change... It otherwise holds up delightfully--such a great movie. And Giles loved it, too. (He always loves a show with strong female lead characters.)

Rest in peace, Dolly. The world is a dimmer place without you. 😢
