We’re headed to a nursing home in Buffalo in the dead of winter this week! We’re discussing Tamara Jenkins’ darkly funny “The Savages,” with two Queen Philips, Bosco and Seymour Hoffman, Laura Linney giving Best Supporting Sister, and some featured ensemble standouts like Debra Monk, Gbenga Akinnagbe and Margo Martingale. (To say nothing of Burt and Lizzie!) This movie brings up a lot of thoughts about aging, taking care of our parents, pulling a gay Golden Girls in Palm Springs, similarities to “Away from Her,” and whether we’re a Jon or a Wendy. (We’re very Wendy.)
