Season 3 of The Wire, Littlefinger shows.  Is he a gringo or a limey?

Isn't, like, half the main actors in that show from the UK?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Tomorrowland.  Spunky young brainy girl finds magic pin that transports her mind to a gleaming futuristic world.  Precocious 11 year old ninja robot girl takes her to recluse George Clooney so that they can all travel to the alternate dimension where shiny world exists.  They fight off nasty killer robots.  On shiny world they watch our world come to an end (caused by nuclear weapons, global warming, and obesity, AFAICT) on the tachyon future IMAX.  Spunky girl saves everyone in the end.

What would have otherwise been a fun Disney family romp gets kind of weird because of the personal feelings between 11 year old ninja robot and 70 year old George Clooney.

CGI is very well done.  George is wasted in his role.  I expect ninja robot to have a strong career, as long as she doesn't grow weird looking like some child stars do.

A lot of my American friends are raving about The Witch on Facebook. Any of you here have seen it? I'm really looking forward to it now.

Regarding Tomorrowland, is the kind of movie I should have loved - since the message is pretty much my disposition in life - but I found it completely overbearing and insufferable  :hmm:

Bridge of Spies. Good movie.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

World of Tomorrow is on Netflix, is 16 minutes long, and is amazing.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

From the 1973 movie Charley Varrick, this has to be the most 70s of all movie sheriffs.

"Sabrina" (the older, Audrey Hepburn/Humphrey Bogart version).

Give old, boring, stick-in-the-muds like me hope for young love.  :cry:
