Today we give thanks for the release of the director's cut of Blackhat. I give this version two stars more than the theatrical cut, which I give four out of four stars, meaning I give the director's cut six out of four stars.

@AmericanGwyn The lesson is know the answers before you create the questions. Don't write a mystery unless you know the solution; then all the elements of the mystery you put in play will eventually contribute to its solution. Lost and, after a point, X-Files both made it up as they went along

@AmericanGwyn Yes. As a writer anything that puts you in your body and out of your head is good for you. Body and mind both need training. Meditation and Muy Thai are mine. But anything from chopping wood to long walks can do it too.

@AmericanGwyn A magnificent script turned into an abominable movie by a director who had no idea what any of the dialogue actually meant and opted to make a commercial about crazy haircuts instead.

@SeabassSay @AmericanGwyn His second-most effective novel. Which means for me it's his second-most successful, in terms of all the parts equaling a unified whole, and producing precisely the effects it wants in the reader. Focused, Appalachian noir. A better novel of suspense than No Country.

@LeeChildReacher Welp, I want to see a new season every fiscal quarter instead of every year. Do six eps four times a year, one book a quarter. And make them spend more money on production since the show more than proved its worth. IMHO.

@molloy_jesse @AmericanGwyn @DouglasDon77694 I'm not sure what 'inspired' exactly means in this context. It's like saying Louisiana inspired season 1. Vernon and Bell Gardens and LA, and the institutional nepotism and corruption (a microcosm of the larger corruption of the political system) were a template from reality.

@m1kelong @soozanto @JustinTrudeau Or perhaps in this case you failed to internalize the lessons of the poets. In so far as none of them prescribed having a ferocious allegiance to systems of power that exert control over every individual life, as long as the system states its reasons as righteous benevolence.
