Lawn work is great exercise.

Did I mention that leaves make great mulch?

Nightcrawler

A love affair with the Los Angeles midnight

Nightcrawler. Interesting movie. It's about one thing: people who staulk and troll for bad news. And it depicts a beat up group who eck it out in the grime and dark and try to struggle their way out of it.

The movie makes love to the midnight city. It's kenetic. And the plot just gets wilder and wilder with the main villian talking like a deranged HR person who just uses people. He knows all of the propaganda that any self-help management guru presented on free on-line seminars: every cleche but totally out of the context of the company loves it's employees. Instead he represents every fly by night bad boss ask-coal who ever scammed a trusting newbie.

And he gets worse. And worse. The story is almost humorous except . . . for his victims. Graphical conveyance of carnage of accident or bad behavior is dropped before our eyes. And we know what we will see because we get to watch the head villian HR camara guy psychopath methodically devile the LA night. He breaks all the rules of honoring the dead, or aiding to help to protect and to serve. This psyhcopath reads about 'framing' and image and so, instead of utilizing some night setting on his cheep camera he . . . reframes the subject. Do I need to say that the subject is a dead person (or maybe not) laying on the street?

If you have ever encountered a situation when you have had to move a body, for whatever reason, you can understand the profound defilement that it is to drag a bloody body along the street for the purposes of commerce.

And, inexplicably, no one can make a case against the psychopath or expose the horror of what he does for a quick profit. He is almost a methaphor for worse case fraudster, like the crises in the institutions of the this world. WE are all beholden to bad bosses and the worse of them all seem to get the fartherest. It's a myth. But I would think that there must be vengence in this world. And so while the ending is clear, how the story ends, the real story doesn't end there. the story is just a loop, if you think about it. He becomes the person who he covetted their job: filming mayhem on the highway. Someone else will eventually be worse than him and take him out: sequal?

So Jake probably will get a second chance to play this character because the audience wants to see the character get his. The audience ought to be begging for it. He gets away with breaking every taboo in the papparazzi business and no one can stop him. Just as it seems that some people broke every taboo in the finance industry and seem to get away with it. And so, when you watch the movie have that in mind: the bad boss. The deluded entropenour, the person who follows some of the rules but not all of them. A person who doesn't really believe in rules, but just uses the ones he likes.

And so, in conclusion, I think the movie deserves a sequel. Jake's character needs to catch a wave of justice.

The movie is worth a second look to inspect the localles and to partake in the visual story of the Los Angeles night. There is a lot to see. Los Angeles looks real. They show the city. It's gorgeous. But the grisly stuff brought into it by the videographer played by Jake serves as a stark contrast. What we love, LA. What we hate: people dieing horrible deaths. What we really hate: people who exploit others for shameful profits. Nightcrawler has it all.

What kind of judge

Don't cast your stones

Say you do, say you did.
what purpose for you to

You can never put in enough.
they always want more.

How much of too much is enough?
will they give back the rest?
