I don't see any forecast for us, but maybe late summer if the El Niño blossoms.

So well done, musically and visually.

She opens it and walks past the cop who's been in and out of the scenes. And a brief wave from the lead as he walks off. A great coda.
I think it's a classic piece of stuff.

Felt terrible when he died. Great movie, great scene.
