One of my favorites. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. There were still a lot of good performances in him.

Gotcha! and Bridge of Spies, because a good part of each movie involved /took place my home town.

Plus I was on the American Sector Side of Glienecke Bridge - in 1980 you could walk out on to it a bit - at least I did. Even the birds that were sitting on the bridge stayed on the side of the American sector of Berlin.

Stripes, Ice Station Zebra, Hunt for Red October.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

"He gains votes ever and anew by taking money from everybody and giving it to a few, while explaining that every penny was extracted from the few to be giving to the many."

I seem to recall that “The Life of others” was very interesting. A Stasi officer listening to a couple. Originally i thought of Gene Hackman’s The Conversation, also someone listening to others. Brings back memories of my own growing up. Our phone was bugged. You would ask for the tone and it would miraculously return. Once a repairman shower up to fix our phone. Nobody asked for repairs…
