I'm a bad man. Every time I drive by the Trump house (MAGA signs everywhere, "JESUS" painted on the roof) in town, I yell "GUILTY, ASSHOLES!" in the car and flip 'em the bird. Every time. It's a compulsion.

Regarding LB[1]: I'm enjoying the slightly ominous music that accompanies William Shatner's narration. Seems appropriate when discussing computers.

Furiosa was OK. It lacks the unrelenting narrative drive of Fury Road, but it was a fun night out. Which is actually kind of a negative review, given the epic adrenaline rush of its predecessor.

"Indecent Advances" isn't even mostly about film, but it gets mentioned because the murder in Crossfire is very similar to a bunch of real-life incidents described in the book

Crossfire (1947) doesn't seem to get a ton of attention from noir fans in the way that like, Double Indemnity or The Maltese Falcon do, but you should probably watch it anyway if you like to read about film history because it gets mentioned in almost every book at all related to 20th century film I own:

- The Celluloid Closet
- An Army of Phantoms
- Hollywood and the Movies of the Fifties
- DEFA: East German Cinema 1946-1992
- Indecent Advances
- A New Kind of Public

I *Just This Last Week* got a new laptop from my university and copilot was already enabled, and pressing the "copilot" (reskinned context menu) button overrides even the group policy editor-level fix to turn it off, immediately reactivating it and resetting the GPE toggle to default.

So. Yeah. Bad.
