Trump: An American Dream on Netflix
It's interesting, considering i didn't know too much about his life in the 70s/80s other than general info about him. Don't know whether to laugh or cry watching it. The fact he had that mafia lawyer Roy Cohn as his own says a lot about him. Scum. Good show, though.
Yeah.
Was hoping to see clips of APPRENTICE but i guess the couldn't license clips.
His ghoswriter- who spent alot of time with him- called him a "sociopath" lacking any empathy or compassion.
Good save us.
Brm
Yah, the ghost-writer "sociopath" comment made me go "uh-oh, this isn't funny anymore.
I thought i had another episode but apparently i watched it all.
Did you watch the one where his friend was killed in a helicopter crash?
Donald went to the media and , appalingly, made the story about HIMSELF; falsely claiming he was supposed to be on the fatal flight!
Him and Cohn deserved each other

It might be dislikeable.
Round my way.
If i want it to be.
Then again it could be unlikeable.
My sentences are not for dissecting, El Bruco.
I use freedom. And license.
And a thing i like to call ignorance.

I saw the first few episodes of Peaky again recently, and was reminded that Sam's performance was exquisite. Yes, he's a hard-nosed Belfast copper who knows how to put down the uppity working man, but the vulnerability he develops across the first series, torn between his desire for Grace and his instinct to protect her in a fatherly way, given that she was the daughter of a respected dead colleague, was (I thought) little short of stunning. And, no, you weren't supposed to like him.
The difference between unlikeable and dislikeable is much more subtle than the difference between uninterested (not caring about something) and disinterested (being impartial) but I'd say his character was unlikeable. I was fascinated by the performance and the character, as opposed to having disdain for them.

There is hope for you yet, Sol!

Wild Wild Country - A documentary about the Rajneesh cult that took up in Oregon in the early 80s.
It's pretty terrifying, really. They all wanted to be individuals and practice peace and love by dressing identically and doing identical things while being paid in Rajneesh dollars for their labours and worshipping a man who apparently has 20 Rolls Royce's and basically talks bullshit. "You were asleep, now you are awake."
The cult built a very impressive town in such a short time, including an airstrip. Them when nearby locals oppose them they basically buy out most of the tiny town of Antelope, change the name, harass the citizens, censor the mail (mentioned but glossed over so far), have their own police force that intimidate the locals and do that scientology thing of videoing people in the streets 24 hours a day, have a public school filled with pictures of the cult leader. It's astonishing.
Then try fixing County elections by bussing in thousands of homeless people from across the country (i think technically they're exploiting loopholes, i think). The shame is they're doing it under the guise of actually caring (textbook cult plan). Then when their plan is foiled they see the homeless people as a problem and sedate every single homeless person they bring in (about 3,500) by poisoning their beer with sedatives every night (mentioned but glossed over so far). I'm only on episode 3 and we haven't gotten to the attempted murder yet.
I can't believe i never heard of this before. The cultists they interview are still completely arrogant and top level scumbags, especially the swivel-eyed loon Sheelagh, who basically ran it all. 3 episodes left. Crikey.

Finished Wild Wild Country. Starts well and is interesting but is too in love with its cult subjects.
It really drops the ball on several occasions over its running time and gives to much of a forum to unrepentant scumbags. The lady, Sheela, who organised an attempted murder and poisoned 700 people in a town with salmonella, and sedated up to 3,500 homeless people, and arranged immigration fraud, breaking and entering, arson, intimidation, attempts to poison a water reservoir, amongst other things, was only sentenced to 4.5 years.
She blames everyone but herself, still plays the victim and was not asked about the poisonings, the sedations or pretty much anything.
To end it with her, living happily in Switzerland, and that idiot lawyer (who bears a striking resemblance to cult crackpot tom Cruise) who isn't asked about any of those criminal acts either, is appalling. It ends like an ad for the self-help shit that apparently still takes cash from imbeciles today.

Nice GBU homage in Westworld tonight. Humans - even some women in heels - balancing a la Tuco on graveyard crosses! 
They also had the theme that is a nod to fred karlin's original gunfighter theme slipped in when Ed Harris is repairing his wounds.

The Terror, as I've said elsewhere, is great.
Lost in Space might be ok when I see more.
