Movie/film suggestions.

@immatthewj I would say take a break from the court channel. It could be aggravating. Half of the world lies and they would do it on the stand too.

Yeah, @gano , you are right; I am not going to follow this one.  But for some reason it just cracked me up hearing this spoiled looking/sounding kid say, "I do not recall," so many times.  The kid’s first name is Tanner, not that this is relevant to anything at all.

Okay, NOW I won’t say anything else about it.  But Jesus!  He just said "I do not recall" at least six more times!  He just said it two more times when I was typing that last sentence! Ha ha!

@gano , and back to The Brutalist and my comparison to a Russian novel and me saying I had only read one (Russian novel) from start to finish, I wonder if it is a coincidence that the novel was Crime And Punishment?

@immatthewj well it's a more than a novel. It's a masterpiece. It's a study in human nature, the big bang of how we process guilt. I am reminded of it all the time.

@gano , connecting all of this back to the movie thread, and alluding back to Al Pacino’s performance in Phil Spector, I just discovered (via youtube) that Karen Read’s lead attorney, Alan Jackson, was the prosecutor in the Phil Spector murder trial.  

And, as we had been discussing Black Mass (and crime in Boston), here is an interesting youtube from 2013 of Hank Brennan when he was talking about his defense of Whitey Bulger.  Just some interesting trivia is all.

Hank Brennan/Whitey Bulger

you are back to the Departed @immatthewj. Nice. I am listening to the interview now.

One other weird, or not so weird connection: Roy Cohn and the Rosenberg trial.
