  The Martha Mitchell Effect 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Sep 2023

  Martha Mitchell, wife of Nixon’s campaign manager, spoke out after Watergate.  The White House smeared her in the press and physically restrained her.  Was she a hero?   I don’t know.  Was she better than anyone else associated with the CRP?  Definitely.  

  I can’t really hate anybody that fucked up Nixon’s shit.

  Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score is sublime.

  Gone Girl 2014

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Oct 2014 1

  This is an intense film. I'm really glad that I knew next to nothing about the plot going in.

  There are so many great lines in this film. My wife and I were the only ones laughing in the theater. What does that say about us?

  Equal parts science lesson, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo and emotional manipulation. I loved it.
