scourge pricing: electronic labels in stores will allow for dynamic pricing.
RIP Robert Towne. A lot of great work, The Last Detail is probably my favorite.

this cheery twat, who invented the oculus vr, will one day likely help kill millions of people.
I watched two good films last night. la ceremonie - a violent tale directed by Claude Chabrol in his usual detached style. Issabelle Huppert and Sandrine Bonnaire are excellent. Huppert is hyper-energetic and hilarious, especially in the scenes where the two ransack the house of their victims, an upper-class family in a small town.
I watched the first half a couple of years ago but must have dozed off before the real action started.
And another violent flick pitting the help against the family - The Housemaid, directed by Kim Ki-young • 1960 • South Korea. Reminded me a bit more of Whatever Happend to Baby Jane than Bunuel's surrealism, which it sometimes gets compared to. Lots of camera moves and a very deliberate style overall. Over the top and twisted.
I found both movies on Criterion via the channel's interviews with Bong Joon Ho.

Corporations are making tons of money keeping prices high even though their costs have dropped.

That's why corporate profits are higher than they've been since at least 1947. pic.twitter.com/ExTZlc2GWJ

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more… pic.twitter.com/3EdJB03KKT

I spent an hour looking for something to watch and finally settled on Shoplifters. Had to see it in two viewings because I was tired from the search. Excellent performances by the entire cast. I found some of the end a little implausible but I don't know much about Japanese law. One of the better films I've seen recently.

RIP, The Logo.
"While it's never been officially declared that the logo is Jerry West," Silver said in 2021, "it sure looks a lot like him."
