Very neat!

It's like all those scenes on Breaking Bad where a character pulls off something amazing by just brute forcing the problem in a methodical fashion until it's solved.

This movie was great. If you liked thoughtful almost-action movies No Country for Old Men or even something like The Fugitive, you’ll enjoy this. There are cinematic set pieces as beautiful as anything I’ve seen in years (the rooftop sequence!) the acting is stellar throughout, and the finale gives an original take on one of the most common film plot devices of all time.

The film’s politics are very progressive/liberal so I can imagine that deterring some viewers but PTA adds a lot of nuance and subversion throughout that make it more of an examination of radicalism than a straight trumpeting of it. As mentioned in another comment the radical characters often disagree and are shown taking very different strategies that then produce very different outcomes.

Amen, brother.

Fixed. Thanks!

Thanks for the note. Did not know about SDR.

This is one of my favorite HN comments. Thank you for writing about music in an interesting way.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Every song on Feeling Strangely Fine is terrific. The other albums have great songs but uninteresting ones too.

Fun book. I’ve said this before on here but it purports to lionize the Sega of America folks but can’t help but present them as non-technical marketers without much depth to them. Meanwhile the Nintendo crew, ostensibly the bad guys in the story’s narrative, seem passionate, principled and serious about shipping great games people love.
