Watched a really good British movie on Netflix called The DIG.

Also watched a not-so-good Spanish movie called The skin of the Wolf.

 

From time to time, I think of Bicentennial Man, starting Robin Williams. Dealing with the issue of mortality we all face, this movie brings out some poignant thoughts. The ending scene in particular makes me think about my own humanity and ultimate death, as not something to be dreaded but to embrace it with gratitude and humility for the gift of life loaned to me.

 

How ironic that Robin Williams in real life died from suicide. I guess, when it comes to the end, I’m going to go out kicking and screaming - - - while knowing all the while I had a wonderful life and could say I’m ready if it happened tomorrow.

 

^ Amen to that!

 

We watched Ride like a Girl that one of you suggested. Barn stories go over well with the barn girl I married. Afterwards I watched Tender Bar on Prime. Donna said we had seen it but I didn't recall much of it, so it was like seeing it for the first time. Very good.

 

Not me. I want to go quietly in my sleep like my uncle. Not kicking and screaming like his passengers.

 

Watched some more movies on Netflix... Blue Mircle was very good, as was The Fundamentals of Caring. Didn't care for The Midnight Sky or The Harder they Fall.

 

Anyone addicted to "Alice In Borderland" ???

 

Knocked off two more movies, The Social Dilemma, as mentioned a thought provoking movie. Sublimitable advertising has been taken to whole new level. The other was Hillbilly Elegy.

 

I seen both of those. I remember Social Dilemma a lot more. My son has been in talks to go to another company leaving Google. It's interesting that he said that, "You can sell your soul" if you want to work for Facebook or ???. I forget what the other company was. Evidently they pay a lot but software engineers do have some conscience. I'll have to see what the outcome was. He didn't really want the other position but was POed at getting shafted out of some extra paternity leave as the policy recently changed.
