Watched: Dark Winds finale

Will finish this one later: CNN special on Bannon

Then: WestWorld episode from last night.

I was gone and just caught up on Westworld last night. Some good Ed Harris. That series continues to be fun.

Yes, I like the series and how it has mutated.

Season 2

Watched this for the first time with my (adult) son on Monday night.  Good discussion with him afterwards.  We both liked how the film doesn't go where you'd expect.  What might initially appear to be a crime/thriller genre pic mutates into... something else. 

Since this is a music forum, I should say that we also both agreed that Hancock's soundtrack is tonally "out-of-alignment" with the movie.  Herbie's music seems so organic and soulful; it contrasts sharply with the themes of artificiality & emptiness that permeate the film.  But maybe that was an intentional thing on Antonioni's part.  I dunno.

A profound gut punch and a masterpiece.

Secrets of Playboy

I never liked Hugh Hefner, just on instinct. Well, this confirms my hunches.

Haven’t watched it. He seemed to be basically a pimp and a conduit of blackmail and extortion schemes. Of course that’s connected to some unsavory elements that were glossed over by his legitimate business ventures. Does that touch on that aspect?

Oh yeah....more than touches on it....

Finished Apple+ "Severance." A very interesting series and quite a cliffhanger ending!

Who or what other organization floats legit business endeavors to cover lucrative undercurrents of illegal activities? Would there be opportunities for these entities/persons like Hefner’s enterprises to interact on various ventures? And if said ventures were successful, would there be reason to form a confederation of sorts to continue exploration and execution of further opportunities? Probably. And if all that happened (for decades) and continues to happen, essentially publicly known but hushed, what makes them able to skirt LEO’s so effectively? Hmmm…

[JSngry]

You'll want to watch this, then.

It's a bit of a time-load, something like 12(?) episodes, but the points about drugs and human trafficing do not go unnoticed,

One of those movies that you can watch over and over (and over) again -- and it never gets old.
