🎬 L.A. Confidential

Movie poster for “L.A. Confidential”.

I liked this overall. It’s a wild chase with ever more intrigues and entanglements coming to light. I especially liked Guy Pearce’s character and performance. But I couldn’t fully enjoy this on a first watch, as this was so fast paced and has this rather complex plot (watching in to me non-native English didn’t quite help, either), that I had the constant feeling of having missed something. Luckily they actually explain more and more towards the end, and I could more and more shake that feeling. Still, maybe a candidate for a second watch.

Unsolved Physics Problems

'Tin pest' makes more sense to me. Tin just doesn't want to be locked down in a shape like that. I get it. But why would any metal want to grow hair??

Experts Said This Was a Damn Clever Post by Jason Kottke

kottke.org/25/07/journalisms-experts-said-conclusion

Jason Kottke:

Large media companies, and the NY Times in particular these days, like to use the phrase “experts said” instead of simply stating facts. The thing is, many other statements of plain truth in that brief Times post lack the confirmation of expertise. To aid the paper in steering their readers away from notions of objective truth, here’s a suggested rewrite of that Bluesky post.

Anthony Lane, in a crackerjack piece for The New Yorker on the writing and work of Elmore Leonard: So, when does Leonard become himself? Is it possible to specify the moment, or the season, when he crosses the border? I would nominate “The Big Bounce,” from 1969 — which,...
