the nice guys (2016)

70s stylings meet 10s comedy in this light, fairly funny and entertaining buddy crime flick that could have been great but for its final third, in which the writing, pacing, and dialogue all fall off a cliff.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
