 Su 7/26/26- Groceries 8am (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 840am (5-B: Red Congolese). 1235pm (GB: 5/ Durban Poison). 535pm (GB: 5/ Red Congolese). 835pm (GB: 6/ Red Congolese).  Up 630am: A slight chance of a morning shower {nada}, then Hot & Nasty; 'Excessive Heat Warning' begins at noon. Today was the most humid day that I've ever experienced. It was literally (exactly) like walking inside a very large steam room.  Weekly Cleaning Watched 'REGRESSION' (Hoopla). It's a difficult subject because the film attempts to demonstrate how reasonable people can become ensnared in their own thoughts. The police, therapists, and 'common sense individuals' all accepted the unprovable fact that satanic cults were creating evil throughout the world. You can accuse anyone of anything, and if they say they didn't do it, you just say that they don't remember. Without a shred of tangible evidence people accept this because they can rationalize that 'they are so ...

This is a big budget contemporary Chinese film about 'NANJING MASSACRE' which began on December 13, 1937 and lasted about six weeks. 100,000 to 300,000 killed; widespread sexual violence- twenty to eighty thousand; burned down 1/3 of the city. This is heartfelt, pro-Chinese propaganda, but well shot and very interesting. Plot: A Chinese postman must develop negatives for the Japanese. Many civilians are hiding in the shop and they manage to secure photographic evidence of the atrocities.   945am: The PC is 'Off' and I'm going for a walk in the park. It's going to get ...

No discernible difference, as usual. Why? Watched 'THE TRUTHERS' (Netflix). A Spanish woman leaves her career in Germany and returns to her family's home when she learns that her mother has died in a fall. Her father is a conspiracy nut and soon she fears he might be somehow connected to her mother's death. Then, you begin to suspect her because she is as obsessive as her dad. The film really worked by exploring the connection between mental illness and wild conspira...

It's a very strange & darkly satirical German Art Film. THE PREMISE: 'Impersonation For Hire'- A man runs a company that provides 'actors' to fill in for real situations in your life. Ex- 'Bring Dad To School Day':  Parents have hired a man to 'play' dad as an airplane pilot; A woman hires a person to 'practice arguing'. Her husband never listens, so she learns to assert herself (and gets a separation); Go on a 'spa date' with someone who wants to experience it with a partner.  One of the reviews said that there are real companies in Japan that provide these kinds of servi...

The windows are open! 9am: Next door a black pickup with a trailer pulled into the driveway at the abandoned house. When I looked again, ten minutes later, it was gone. I don't even know if they were picking up or dropping off. {Late I noticed that they left the trailer back by the garage}. Watched 'SHE SAID' (Netflix). It's about the Harvey Weinstein affair and concerns the two New York Times reporters who broke the story. This kicked off the 'Me Too Movement', but that phrase is never mentioned. The story has nothing to do with a 'sex island' or 'wild parties', but examines how the corporation allowed (encouraged?) Weinstein's assaults by essentially just buying off anyone...

When I came back from the 1st GB of the day, I noticed a prompt to 'restart'. It only took a couple of minutes, but I am tired of the anxiety and why so many requests? Is it something in my system or is it a Windows problem with the 'Drop Windows 10' in October or is it the update itself? Watched 'THE WOMEN IN THE LINE' (Netflix). It's a tale of a 'Mother's Love On Steroids'. One day police raid a middle class Argentinian home and a young man is taken into custody and immediately sent to a federal prison. Not once does mom wonder what he did or whether he was guilty. She foolishly insists that her 'perfect' boy is somehow above the law because she is his mother. The film's primary  focus is on the di...
