killing hope by william blum

This history book has a very strong tankie bias that was evident to me almost immediately, at which point (10% into the book, in the section on the greek civil war) I checked a random citation and discovered a fairly obvious error in research right away - so probably 90%+ of the book is accurate and obviously quite damning of the US manipulation and ruination of other countries around the world over the last 100 years, but I personally can’t trust this book, and can’t commit to spending any more time on it.

Both the sci-fi elements and the scientist characters are really fun and involving in this carl sagan book adaptation - but on the other hand the love interest is really annoying and the movie should’ve been 30 minutes shorter.

While this Guy Ritchie movie doesn’t live up to its forebears (in my humble opinion) in terms of snappy dialogue and humor, it was certainly funny at times, and the twists were nice and exciting, and colin farrell’s character was a classic.
