thru first half-hour of “50 Shades of Grey” last night on DVD. Saw just 2

Saw
“Still Alice” on DVD last night. Good film. Good script, good performances:

Another

disruptive, and which are truly dumb. Fine line.

Machination.
Ironically, it's the one thing that humans may never be able to improve by
offloading it to machines. Manual machination rules!
