Hellraiser: Judgment
I haven't seen the series for a quite long time, The reboot doesn't look bad and is promising for the following.

I was reading The Confessions of Marcus Hutchins, the Hacker Who Saved the Internet. Very interesting story.

While reading it, I stumbled upon this video simply titled "Stephen Watt keynote". Similar topic, hacking, U.S. federal prosecution, but very different outcome and moral.
Once I got over the bad audio quality it was very fascinating.
I had to look up Stephen Watt - he was one of the participants in the TJX hack some 10 years ago.
In this video he describes exactly how powerless you are in a federal case when the prosecution wants to make an example and the judge has taken a dislike to you. When specialists have no clue about the extent of your crime (according to Watt, a minor hack of an existing sniffer to steal credit card data from a company's unencrypted (!) wifi) and blow it out of proportions.
When you're being called out on "violating the private lives of millions of americans" - adding up to 171,500,000USD (yes, 171.5 million) to pay back (that's for Watt only, I believe it was 800million for all perpetrators to gether).
When such claims are backed with IRC protocols full of jokes the prosecution does not understand (and fails to recognize quotes as such), trying to paint a picture of a sociopath and maniac.
When they say they understand the computer stuff that's this case is about, but really don't.
When the defendant just doesn't invoke sympathy very well, maybe simply because he's male, 7 feet tall, dressed in black, with long hair... and maybe even has the cheek to sneer or talk back. He certainly doesn't appear humbled in the video, taken after serving 2 years in prison.

If that's all a bit too much for you, at least skip to the last 5 minutes or so.

Silliness, all the wall-climb cameos from the late-sixties batman series. Some of the funniest stuff if you know the old TV and entertainment references...

Frontline is an excellent series, good pic.

I especially like their episodes on America's Great Divide...

^ thanks for the links. PBS seem to restrict their content geographically, even on YT. I could not see/download those films.
On pbs.org, it seems I'm allowed to download only 1 film per day.

But this link worked for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQBYJdojaRs (that's America's Great Divide, both parts)

Re-watching Serial Experiments Lain, as i haven't seen it in a long time. I remember really liking it the first time, though.

hhh · 2020-06-13 13:32:21

@ohnonot, Frontline - The Tank Man (Beijing, 1989. I hope the link works...)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHMZmthg-Vk

-edit- The iconic photo is always shown close up with 3 tanks in view. The wide screen view is stunning, it looks like an early Godzilla movie...

Little Fires Everywhere
I know it's been hyped because one of its topics is systemic racism.
And the way the portray that is really good IMO.
Mostly women, if you can deal with that.
It's technically a suburban family show, but really so much more than that... thriller suspense included.

Steve is on fire in his latest vid. Not sure if on purpose or troubled soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjRvC7H7o0A

hhh · 2020-07-08 01:53:12

^ Four Fingers of Death? HAHAHAHA!!! Great! You don't get that funny without being a troubled soul. See the life story of nearly every great comedian in modern history.

I love how you only see his bare hands and arms. I took this as implying that he's naked in the video. Don't analyze that opinion. Actually, go ahead. I ain't a scared!

hhh · 2020-07-10 02:20:31

This could go in "listening right now", but the historical record of the video, I think, mandates that I post it here. Glenn Gould's U.S. Television Debut: Bernstein Conducting Bach's Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nx09pigZRI

Oh, and just a little performance of Stravinsky conducting his own piece, The Firebird.

the night devours the world. some one i know said it was the best zombie flick they've ever seen. I will admit that all in all it is very good, and finally begs the questions of "what happens when the water gets turned off?" Which always irritated me that it was never addressed in this sort of film. I think water is more of a problem than the zombies, most of the time, that and antibiotics.

hhh · 2020-08-03 18:58:37

I'm watching John Carpenter's Escape From New York (1981). The first fifteen and a half minutes of this film get my vote for the best film of all time. Like Blade Runner, my favorite, it has the best lighting, soundtrack, camera angles and dystopian world-building of any film out there.

hhh · 2020-08-03 21:08:03

Whaddya' mean, I can't count on you?

No.

Good.
