the 7th art

will give you a run down soon of what we liked from those various new movie trailers, but quickly, on politics,


just watching a delayed telecast of Obama's rousing introduction to Hilary at Philadelphia on Monday.


just can't see her winning the presidency, despite being marginally softer on the eyes than Trump. Major problem: Obamacare, and unemployment, lack of growth in economy. They have performing seals at Taronga zoo in Sydney here, they put on a real good show and get all the fishy treats too, but they still don't get elected president of the u.s.


Trump losing to Hilary is thoroughly inconceivable, I just cannot believe it can happen. Now clap your flippers and make seal grunting sounds and wiggle your whiskers.


now to movies:


1st, hologram for the king, tom hanks

benji would unquestionably watch this movie in full, but not any Dan browns nonsense nor sully which is too mediocre subject matter






2nd, baked in Brooklyn, about some kike in Manhattan that sells pot, benji would give it half an hour, getting old to watch that, but maybe with my kids in six years time, who knows, never too young to explain dangers of drugs


3rd, swing state... A satirical look at fox news channel. Funny, definitely watchable

4th, Giggity, the musical, featuring Quagmire.... Just messin'! Would be awesome though, right? Too bad the McFarlane people are too stoned haha probably watching Flintstones reruns now and listening to Cyprus hill, silly!


5th, some movie about American Jews! Finally they're the subject of the movie and it's in America, not world war 2 gas-land somewhere all depressing.... looks very promising! Indignation.

turns out this movie is based on a novel by phillip roth who is a famous and accomplished American jewish novelist....... watching some interviews with him and reading up on him, it seems like some of his books would be quite interesting to read, maybe starting with goodbye columbus -- he has a lot of books........ prior to discovering roth, the only jewish American writer of interest was joseph heller and i was interested in reading a couple of his books as a teenager but subsequently lost interest......... Roth also visited Prague a couple of times during communism and developed some relations there with local authors, the most famous would be Franz Kafka, however he was born around 100 years in Prague before Roth showed up there



6th... denzel Washington movie, fences........ looked at some of the associated reviews and interviews.... Washington seems like a competitive guy (in real life)
