Movies Watched -- Frank

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Made it thirty minutes in before I quit ... promising start with some funny bits but then the meanness of the humor and the wacky weird vibe started to grate ... probably appeals to the same crowd that liked the dreadful Donnie Darko ... not my bag.

Movies Watched -- Child's Pose

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Another Romanian New Wave movie, like The Death of Mr Lazarescu (my favorite movie in whatever year it came out) and 4 Months 3 Weeks 2 Days ... these movies make you want to slit your wrists because the depth of awfulness of life in Romania is revealed ... the corruption, the injustice, the indignities ... but they're really skillfully made ... recommended for adult viewers with above average intelligence only -- not something you watch with popcorn to cheer yourself up. 

Bloodline -- Season One

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Enjoyed this one ... thanks to Twitter buddy @chijs for hipping me to it ... discovery is such an interesting thing, if I hadn't caught that tweet I probably wouldn't have found out about this show until three or four years later ... anyway, attractive articulate white people in a beautiful setting (the Florida Keys) who are my age ... proud WASP family with a painful past, a prodigal son, a mean Dad, lies begetting lies, violence begetting violence, lots of elements that appeal to me, that I can semi-identify with ... runs 13 one hour episodes, see it if you get a chance.

Kyle Chandler (b. 1965),  Ben Mendelsohn (b. 1969), Linda Cardellini (b. 1975), Norbert Leo Butz (b. 1967), Jacinda Barrett (b. 1972), Enrique Murciano (b. 1973), Chloë Sevigny (b. 1974)

Ray Donovan -- Season One

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Quit watching this after three or four episodes ... didn't find any of the characters attractive, everyone's a low-life ... story wasn't interesting to me, it's probably a semi-accurate reflection of the life of a Hollywood fixer, but I don't want to watch that. Biggest problem was Liev Schreiber playing a tough Irish Catholic from Boston when he's clearly a nice Jewish boy from Long Island. 

Sarah Silverman -- We Are Miracles

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Watched this HBO special from when? several years ago? ... Sarah talks about, among other things, the happy childhood memory of showering with her Mom, the water sprinkling off her "giant 70s Jew bush" onto young Sarah. I like most of her bits, not all of them, but I can identify with this X'er from New Hampshire -- she definitely doesn't fly in flyover country. 

Brutal After-hours Action in Amazon

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Amazon reported earnings on Thursday afternoon. Price initially popped to $420, then over the next ten minutes it fell all the way to $371 and change, but then over the next hour it went back up to $420 -- obviously brutal action. On Friday the stock opened at $439 and change and closed at $445. To the average observer, it closed at $390 and opened the next day at $439 ... they'd be oblivious to the drama.
