Blue Valentine

Some of the finest acting I've seen for quite a while. Blue Valentine is the perfect movie you want to show somebody who is going on and on about being 'madly, deeply, in love' because of it's accuracy in laying bare that all the best intentions can go awry. It's the opposite of a date movie as one memorable reviewer wrote at IMDB.

This is the first time I've seen Ryan Gosling and he is a great actor, though I'm suspicious of his Mickey Mouse club origins which is semi famous for pumping out MKULTRA celebrities. Michelle Williams is adorable as she does a little cowboy dance on their first date.

Apparently there's some debate about who is to blame for their breakup in the movie but if anything the point for me is nobody is to blame. 

It's just part of life and duality.

Wall St Queue Jumpers - HIgh Frequency Trading Algorithms

Whether you're Capitalist, Anti Capitalist or indifferent, this is one of the best money documentaries I've seen in a while. It conveyed to me that high frequency trading has nothing to do with economics because it is its own economic system and larger than the system it feeds off for reasons of mutual and pension fund buying patterns.

Where it also got interesting for me is the documentary is stuffed with the best of the best brains. The climate scientists, biological mathematicians, algorithm developers blah blah blah who all make money on Wall St instead of doing something useful for the planet.

Haim Bodeck is a legend in these circles but despite is awesome brain power it took him a year to realise it wasn't his algorithm code that fucked up, but was instead a conspiracy by others to jump the queue in orders on Wall St.

This is much like JFK and 9/11 conspiracy. Unless you can conceive it is possible, it doesn't matter how much evidence is in front of your eyes you will block it. As I've always said. It's the implications of conspiracy that freaks people out and I'm afraid most of the complex corruption cases called conspiracy (that I study) are true.

The world is not as it seems. 

Watch this documentary. 

It's important.

Into The Abyss - Werner Herzog

Into The Abyss is a death row documentary. It's about White Trash Americans who never had a chance to really escape the superficiality of a life where stealing a car for a day or so is the most braggable value they can achieve.

Capitalism needs a layer of society like this to recruit for their wars. If they have no interest in dying for rich men abroad then there's little else for them except to use as prison bait, so richer folks can always have something to demand more security and greater victimisation of poor people. It's very profitable to exploit fear.

There are truly touching moments in this documentary. It's a view of America that isn't shown by Hollywood which focuses on programming people to aspire to superficiality.
