TV/Movies Megathread

[The Brain]

The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938), a very silly movie played far too straight, featuring Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart.   EGR is the eponymous doctor who decides to research the medical effects of crime and goes on a robbery spree in order to study the effect on himself.  The capstone of his research is when he murders one of his partners in crime (Bogart).

Throughout Dr. Clitterhouse is treated sympathetically despite his monstrous activities.  The crazy goes up to 11 at the trial, when he insists that the book of his research is sane and could not have been written by an insane man.  The jury, rather spontaneously and apparently without deliberating, declares the doctor not guilty by reason of insanity.  After all, what sane man would insist that he was sane when he could get away with murder by claiming to be insane?

How catchy.

That reminds me of a series I just watched about the capture of the Unabomber. In the end he pleads guilty to avoid his lawyers pursuing an insanity defense.

80 year old movie that most of you either will never watch or have already seen?  I'll do it, but doesn't seem that critical.

[Eddie Teach]

I think he was talking to me about the dramatization of 20 year old news story.

Star Trek Discovery is coming out on Sunday.  Cautiously optimistic.

Alien Covenant- Not good at all. I was expecting a sequel to Prometheus, it was so obviously set up to not even be a true sequel but rather a full 2 part movie. Instead we get this weird time jumpy poor homage to the original alien with large dashes of Prometheus.

Started with Outlander. Interesting so far.

Nope too squishy.
