Sleep-deprived reviewing Al Pacino’s Hangman (2017)
Hangman (2017) Arg. Another artificially contrived murder mystery where they killer has time, finances, intelligence enough insanity to stage multiple complicated murder scenes. As any real cop knows, it’s tough to set up a common garden variety murder without making a million mistakes, this guy does one ever 24 hours in succession and the cops can’t find him, even knowing he’s going to do one with a string of clues left behind. But even that isn’t as contrived as a few other plot points, like Pacino (what’s he doing, that fake Southern accent he thinks he can do?) as an old cop with a younger partner, plus a reporter tagging along as female relief.

Mudbound, a feel-good, happytime movie for the whole family
DVD not yet available at writing, here’s the book so you can read about even more misery than the movie could cover.
Mudbound (2017) The lighthearted story of post-WWII brothers working a played out farm, barely keeping the family fed and about to go bust at any time and lose the mudbog fields and ramshackle house where they live with their bitterly racist old father, one with a miserable, loveless marriage with a wife who just lost their only potential son to a miscarriage and is now barren, the other a drunken, loutish shell-shocked veteran and their impoverished black sharecropper tenant farmers, who, unlikely as it may be, are even poorer and nearer destitute than their white landlords, with the father breaking his leg and unable to work and their own son back from the war, embittered and at odds with the racist white townspeople. We start with that idyllic scenario, but things go bad.

Plight of modern day noble red men.The
This reminds me of the scene in Life of Brian where one of the Jews asks “What have the Romans ever done for us?” followed by a long litany of education, language, aquaducts, public health, public order and civilization, city planning, agriculture, wine etc.

Ideas on how to make Evolution video game better
My daughter enjoys the board game Evolution and North Star Games has been trying to port it out as a video game. (donate via kickstarter if you are so inclined) However, the game is too one-dimensional: the be-all and end-all is how much food you and your progeny eat. There are too few variables to make the game fun or to use strategy. I’m not going to go into all the rules and etc. here, you can find that elsewhere. Here are her suggestions to NSG on how to improve the game, thought up by her and her alone:

NeverTrumpers, shut the fuck up already. You lost. You have no influence then or now.
Yeah, I don’t go to RedState, I’ve always thought they set themselves up as some kind of leader or style-setter of conservative policy and thought and politics, but I saw an Eric Erickson article somewhere else and I was like, fuck, give it a rest, just shut up already. You lost.

World War I Noises/Stuck Record and Overlord 1975 British film
Long time Monty Python fan, loved Matching Tie and Hankerchief since the ’80s (when I became aware of it) then recently I was watching a British movie about WWI called Overlord (1975) and it contained a scene where 2 soldiers were sitting in a field between battles talking about home and the conversation steered toward a confusion between girlfriends, wives and dogs.

Christmas Secrets & Memories
Docweasel Christmas 2007 #10: Christmas Secrets and Memories by docweasel
It was a quiet night. No wind, no rain, no moonlight. Not a night normally associated with spirits and mysticism. Just a quiet, spring night. Clarissa laid across her bed, reading. She was preoccupied and distracted, and her mind wandered out of the story as her eyes continued drifting over the pages, without really seeing. She was thinking of something her Mother had told her, years ago. Remembering.
