And, with a superfluity of time on my hands end up at friends place watching their Netflix picks.
"The Crown". Very well done, but in the end nothing more than an obsequious propaganda series that props up the establishment with noble sentiments. The history, while by and large true is nonetheless offensive, presumptive, patronizing, they only need the figurehead because they've taken such pains to dumb down the populace, and this by design. The populace gets to shed their poverty for a bit and enjoy the spectacle, pomp, unchecked privilege and staggering wealth that comprises the Royal Family.
In return, well, the Royal Family.
Now you've got me started...

In a pop-up cinema, tiny, lined with black curtains like an old-school porn cinema in the back of probably the only surviving DVD rental place in the western world.
That said, it's a little more personal venue than the cinemas in the city, which is a good thing. The film quality, via laser projector, terrific, sound as well.
Bringing me to the movie. Billed as a black comedy or satire ONLY if you're comfortably entrenched in the middle class, or wealthy as they seldom have the self-awareness to realize how accurately they've been portrayed.
Otherwise, visceral, familiar characters and dialogue in engaging situations, not even a step removed from reality - the events, contrived for the script, but given the representations of class any characters would have arrived at the same conclusions. In short, an excellent film, just a little too close to home, we're living through it on a much larger scale even as I write this, but frame it as entertainment and maybe people will pay attention...

These, gathered from the jeep, idle pick-ups from the summer. Not enough time spent gathering these for sure, but the location - work - well, time off I avoid the place.
The arrowhead's on the left, the black stone on the far right is a curiosity, curved, shows definite signs of knapping, heavy, harder, not local.
Detail of arrowhead. This is small, at most an inch long.
