Brat Farrar

Simon has a solid alibi, so he wasn't involved in the death of Patrick.  That leaves . . . no one.  Suicide?  Patrick/Brat takes Timber out for a ride. Simon goes nuclear, telling Brat never to ride the horse again and calling him a fake--in front of Eleanor.  This despite the fact that Patrick/Brat now legally runs the show--he's 21.  Simon drinking heavily.  Headed toward a Simon/Brat fight to the death climax?

Uncle Charles comes soon . . . not sure what he's going to bring to the plot.  He must know something about Brat, otherwise the delay in bringing him onto the stage makes no sense.  His presence will change it all.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Live and Let Die

 The Fleming book, flawed by 50's racism, moves along in plot and character.  Fleming is an excellent writer--great descriptive powers and pacing. The movie has no redeeming qualities.  All that's left from the book is the racism, and in the book you can feel Fleming's doubts about his racist scenes slipping in.  In the movie (made years later), the racism is incredible.  1972.  Those who say no progress has been made should watch this.  Impossible to imagine this film being made today.
