Late Show 75%

One plot seems to have come to an end.  Tom Trent stalks Ballard, captures her, brings her to his upside-down house (the same house where he tortured Ramon Romana.)  He plans on torturing, raping, killing Ballard.  He discovers she has a key to his house, figures out his ex-wife must have given the key to Ballard. He goes off to kidnap the ex-wife. Ballard escapes from her bonds and kills him (broom, stick sharp as a knife) when he returns. But . . . someone on the force has it in for her and leaks to the LA Times the possibility that she killed Trent unnecessarily. So, she's worried for her job and worried that someone would betray her.  more at: https://deukerreading.blogspot.com/2017/10/late-show-75.html

Restaurant murder still unsolved.
Olivez still on the force.
Two hours left.

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.
