Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow Cont.

More games and more rivalry between Sadie and Mazur (Sam's new name).  The game that was a flop as a game reemerges as a world like Sim City and is successful.  Maple World -- the side that Sam built.  It becomes a utopian on-line world.  Gay marriage is fine, diversity, etc.  Some users become angry.  Attack on office to kill Sam, but he's not there.  Marks gets shot instead.  Induced coma.  Sadie pregnant with M.'s child.  Marks dies.  Sadie can't go back to work.  Mazer/Sam does.  Two are rent asunder . . . will they come back together? 


Good writing . . . too long . . . the section where Marks is in an induced coma and describes what's going on is, for example, excellent until it drags on.

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.
