93 minute running time so about the right length … weird one … costume drama, starring Tilda Swinton, covering four centuries, as both a man and woman … not sure what to think of it. John Farr predictably a big fan of it.
You have fought in battles, like a man?
127 minute running time so at least 30 minutes too long … Mark Ruffalo has a real hard-on for the DuPont family (I loved “Foxcatcher”) … PFOA / C-8 / Teflon … you don’t want to live downstream from a DuPont landfill, that’s for sure … didn’t DuPont make Agent Orange too? I mean, come on. “Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.” I’m glad that these movies are made to inform the general public, but they aren’t fun to watch. (h/t to my trading buddy Linda for the reco.)
In Swedish. 97 minute running time so not overly long, though it felt pretty long, there’s not much dialogue (23 page script) … Ingmar Bergman movie, his first with Harriet Andersson … middle class boy and working class girl fall in love and quit their dead-end jobs and spend the summer boating around the Stockholm archipelago, but she gets pregnant and they have to go back to reality as autumn approaches … spoilers: she eventually leaves him and he’s stuck with the baby … this is not a feel-good movie. I didn’t hate it, but I also wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll have to figure out which of Bergman’s movies to include on my Top movies list … this one probably isn’t it. John Farr recommended it despite it being a heterosexual love story.
Out with hussies, no doubt. Like that slut at the grocery store.
I like her voice … reminds me of Connie Converse. I guess the Spotify algo thought so too, thus the recommendation.
I enjoy watching Juan Browne’s channel on YouTube, “blancolirio.” He’s a pilot who has a no-nonsense, “just the facts, ma’am” approach to reporting on subjects that he’s interested in, mostly aviation-related things. I noticed today that he was using a really neat weather website I’d never seen before called “Zoom Earth,” which is both beautifully done and free. Check them both out.
Report of Independent Investigation: Allegations of Sexual Misconduct Against Robert E. Anderson — 240 page pdf document
“Dr. Anderson’s misconduct ranged from performing medically unnecessary hernia and rectal examinations on patients seeking treatment for wholly unrelated issues, to manually stimulating male patients and causing them to ejaculate, to quid pro quo arrangements in which he provided medical services in exchange for sexual contact.”
“The most common form of misconduct patients described to us involved Dr. Anderson conducting sensitive examinations (i.e., hernia and/or genital, prostate and/or rectal, and breast and/or pelvic examinations) that they perceived as unnecessary.”
“Almost immediately after Dr. Anderson arrived at the University, rumors about him performing inappropriate and unnecessary examinations of a sensitive nature started circulating on campus. The names by which student athletes referred to Dr. Anderson included ‘Dr. Balls Anderson,’ ‘Dr. Drop Your Drawers Anderson,’ ‘Dr. Handerson,’ ‘Dr. Jelly Fingers,’ ‘Goldfinger,’ ‘Handy Andy,’ and ‘Nutsy Anderson,’ among others.
One of the greatest things I’ve found on YouTube, and happily among the top ten most watched Washington National Cathedral videos (over 3,200 total).
Black Ice lighter in a vivid Laser 360° design … I’m not a fan of any of the Zippo skull or skeleton designs, but I do like the Multicut lasso outline and horse and rider silhouette on the back of this one…
