What you're watching

[BIAD]

A movie I've always recommended was from my teenage years, The Parallax View.

I watched that [docu] one for the first time a few months ago. Blew my mind...

(Off topic, sorry!)
I enjoyed your links, thanks.
One of the comments mentioned in the archive link was:

"...At the trial, West maintained that Shaver had suffered a bout of temporary insanity on the night of Chere Jo Horton’s killing,
but he argued that Shaver was “quite sane now.” In the courtroom, Shaver didn’t look that way. One newspaper account said he
“sat through the strenuous sessions like a man in a trance,” saying nothing, never rising to stretch or smoke, though he was a
known chain-smoker..."

That's a hell of a addictive habit to just drop because of Shaver's situation.

And your second link advertises 'The Conversation', another great movie. What made me smile in that film was the equipment
conference where a seller of spyware shows how a telephone can become a listening device without the phone's owner knowing.
The Conversation was from 1974, imagine what they can do now!

Finally, 'Wag The Dog', a humorous look at something that is very real and often beyond many folk's belief. Switch out Albania for
the Ukraine and you see the similarities in political distraction, media corruption and a more realistic interpretation of 'a matrix'!

Cheers.
