Haven’t turned on any news in 3 plus weeks.
Smart. Me, too. It's been great!
Smart indeed.
I finally watched The Wire, and now understand the Forum Topic "Hamsterdam"
I need to get back to The Wire. I got through the first two seasons. If you are looking for pure entertainment, try Money Heist. Spanish series on Netflix. Better in Spanish with subtitles.
Season three is when Marlowes story really picks up.
I plan to get back to it.
I could rewatch The Wire every couple years. Good stuff. And there's a lot to catch. I didn't watch it when it first came out. When I finally caught up to it on Amazon Prime a few years ago, it completely ruined my sleep schedule- I couldn't stop watching! Even the "lesser" seasons focusing on the docks and newspaper, were enjoyable. Truthfully I thought the first few episodes of Season 1 were the worst and hardest to get through.
I could’ve done w/o the newsroom in season 5 but some endings were good

The Hudsucker Proxy is a fun one too. Seems to get overlooked a lot.

.....and just like that? The fake Deep State is no more. We're talking about movies instead of invented coups that didn't happen.

Watching and re-watching the Coen Bro movies.
Saw many, but catching up on some of the more esoteric ones I missed. Some good ones. Some duds.
Watched "A Serious Man" last night. Missed it when it came out. Slow roller. But enjoyed it. Probably would have resonated more if I had grown up in a Jewish household. But still entertaining.
What are your top 4 or 5?
I think you can swap them all around depending on your preferences.
Rough order for me:
Blood Simple
No Country
O Brother
True Grit
Barton Fink
Lebowski
Fargo
Raising AZ
Serious Man
Still have to watch Buster Scruggs and Man Who Wasn't There
Some goofy and weird period takes thrown in there. But many have a real melancholy and/or unsettling mood.
For those unfamiliar, regardless of mood, none are really light and frivolous watches. That is, they usually require some attention to enjoy.
But enjoyable if you're looking for some movies that aren't just what they appear on the surface.
Lebowski has to remain #1 for me.
Buster Scruggs is good
Raising AZ is way up on my list...tough to pick.

As someone who worked in a newsroom, I found it interesting. But def not the best season.

So Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation today for altering an email (adding a true fact) that was submitted as part of a FISA application.
Boy, that John Durham appointment sure bore fruit. I wonder if this is it?

...added a true fact ? I thought it was an honest mistake. Does he still have his law license ?

He altered an email someone else had written to add something that was true.
Of course, it was wrong to alter the email.
As I have written before, he should’ve simply contacted the author of the email and asked him to add the fact and then resend the email.
Haven’t heard anything about his law license, but I suspect it is in deep Doo Doo.

Salty's very Q-like in his commitment to the Deep State, Fake News, "coup" narrative.

I'm guessing he rode the train to the end of the line. Why am I guessing that somewhere down the line there will be a book?

I thought he was the investigative thread that "brought it all back to Obama's desk"?

Miller's Crossing is a very under-rated Coen Bros movie.
