Does Westworld ever redeem itself, because I've been done for a while... There's a new Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex I'm looking forward to watching...

His leadership really is breathtaking.

So I already had an aversion from working on several Ryan Murphy shows, where he always struck me as an unreasonable jackass. But a show about the dark history of Hollywood, especially how unbelievably fucking awful it was for gays and minorities sounded interesting to me, yet I still was hesitant. Today I was listening to an interview with the writer and he gave several examples of horrific details of Hollywood's past and then went on about how they wanted to make things happier [so they sugarcoated things and changed outcomes...]. I mean there's something enjoyable to watch, but to take real (recent) suffering and downplay it like that doesn't seem right. Maybe Chernobyl should've ended with everybody having superpowers and that area becoming amazingly fertile and wealthy? But I say all this from the standpoint of not having seen any of it yet, and remain very conflicted about whether I will.

I just watched Extraction on Netflix and quite enjoyed it. Similar to Man on Fire, but turned up to 11.
