Quote:Gary Leon Ridgway (born February 18, 1949), also known as the Green River Killer, is an American serial killer. He was initially convicted of 48 separate murders. As part of his plea bargain, another conviction was added, bringing the total number of convictions to 49, making him the second most prolific serial killer in United States history according to confirmed murders.[n 1] He killed many teenage girls and women in the state of Washington during the 1980s and 1990s.[2]

If you find the bodies. Stephen Egger speculated that the most prolific serial killers were the best at hiding their activities and thus would never be caught except by pure accident.

I watched A Ghost Story on Netflix. For a low-budget production about a man in a sheet with eye holes watching the world change around him, it's actually pretty interesting.

My annual evaluations when I was on combat duty used the term "hundreds". I didn't quibble with the officer who wrote that, despite his not going on patrol with us.

The Last Thing He Wanted (2020)
An American reporter gets involved in a South American arms deal due to her father, back in the Reagan days. Little does she know the deal is connected to the CIA. 

 - Meh.

The Coldest Game (2019)
Mansky, an awkward and very alcoholic math professor in '62, is kidnapped and "encouraged" to aid the government by representing America in a U.S. vs Soviet chess tournament, while the tensions in Cuba comes to a head and spies try to outmaneuver each other.  

 - Classic spy drama with chess. l like it.

The Platform (2020)
The Hole. An enormous, vertical prison consisting of cells for two, connected by a single shaft. Once per day, a platform descends with food, starting at level 1. Every 30 days your place in the food-chain is shuffled, if you are still alive. Only one rule: You can't keep anything you haven't eaten from the platform once it descends to the next level. 

 - Disturbing, interesting; reminds me of Cube

The Lair of the White Worm (1988)
An archaeologist finds the skull of a mythical serpent, to the odd interest of an eccentric exotic woman living by herself in a large mansion nearby. 

 - Weird. A kind of British horror comedy with Hugh Grant. 

Stalingrad (2013)
Soviet and German troops having it out over the ruins in Stalingrad in a viscous back and forth, with background stories narrated in the background and civilians right on top. 

 - A bit dramatic for a war movie but not bad for a Russian production.

"The advantage of faith over reason, is that reason requires understanding. Which usually requires education; resources of time and money. 
Religion needs none of that. - It empowers the lowliest idiot to pretend that he is wiser than the wise, ignoring all the indications otherwise "

Mountain-high though the difficulties appear, terrible and gloomy though all things seem, they are but Mâyâ.
Fear not — it is banished. Crush it, and it vanishes. Stamp upon it, and it dies.

"Alita, Battle Angel". Must have been a 'graphic novel' or something. I am watching it in 2-5 spurts.

Interestingly, most of the major actors in this film also appeared in Rome and/or Game of Thrones.  Popcorn

I have a coupon for $2 off a rental at Vudu. As soon as I get some more money, that sounds like a good plan.
