Micro movie review
The Big Short: The story of the housing and credit bubble of the mid-2000s, and some fairly weird guys who realized what was happening and profited greatly from it. The film is quirky and confusing even if you know something about finance. Though it tries to explain things, sometimes quite humorously, if you don't know much about finance I think you'd be totally confused.

Texts from last night
(586): Just had a med school interview with that doctor I fucked in college. He remembered. Asked if I still have my nipple rings. Overall, I think it went well.

.jpg)
To all Seinfeld fans (and non-fans), Happy Festivus!To the tune of Let it Snow:
What a lovely day for Festivus,
a Festivus for the rest of us,

let them wait, let them wait, let them wait.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
I bought some caps for popping,
aluminum pole's aglow,
let them know, let them know, let them know.
With the feat of strength at hand,
stop crying fight your old man,
so go and drink another beer,
T'is the best time of the year!
What a lovely day for Festivus,
a Festivus for the rest of us,
gather your family around,
cut them down, cut them down, cut them down.
No need for decorating,
as tinsel's too distracting,
all you need is a metal pole,
cleanse your soul, cleanse your soul, cleanse your soul.
With the feat of strength at hand,
stop crying fight your old man,
so go and drink another beer,
T'is the best time of the year!

Micro movie review
The Danish Girl: The somewhat fictionalized story of the transgender woman to get the first gender reassignment surgery, back in the 1920s. The film was very well-acted and beautifully filmed. My biggest complaint about the film is that people with little exposure to transgender people will think this is typical of how transsexual people realize their true gender identities. Today, at least, it is most frequently at a much younger age.

Spectre: The latest James Bond movie. It's well-made, a little lighter in tone than Skyfall. Daniel Craig is as good a 007 for the 21st Century as Sean Connery was for the 1960s.

Micro movie review
Suffragette: Set in pre-World War I Britain, it's the story of a working class woman who accidentally becomes involved with the movement for the right of women to vote, as it turns to violence from peaceful protest. Her eyes are opened and she joins in, at great personal cost. The film is slow, and fairly predictable (at least if you know something about the suffragette movement in Britain). Carrie Mulligan, as the laundry worker main character, is excellent. Helena Bonham Carter is fair. Meryl Streep's part was so small it was almost non-existent.
