Review: The Ghost in the Shell

The Ghost in the Shell (攻殻機動隊), 1989-1991, Shirow Masamune, Young Magazine Kaizokuban STORY: 7 Meet Motoko Kusanagi, your everyday special-operation-cyborg-elite in a future that massively inspired cyber-punk culture.

Tonight's movie is my all-time favorite movie: Murder By Death (1976)

It's a fantastic murder-mystery comedy written by Neil Simon. Five famous literary detective characters and their sidekicks are invited to a bizarre mansion for "dinner and a murder." And the host thinks they won't be able to solve it.

So many great actors!
Peter Falk - Sam Diamond (Sam Spade)
Peter Sellers - Sidney Wang (Charlie Chan)
David Niven & Maggie Smith as Dick & Dora Charleston (Nick & Nora Charles)
Elsa Lanchester - Miss Marbles (Miss Marples)
James Coco - Milo Perrier (Poirot)
Truman Capote - Lionel Twain (the host)
Alec Guinness - the blind butler
and more

Directed by Robert Moore

Music by Dave Grusin

It's not streaming for free anywhere, but you can rent it various places or by it on Amazon for $10.

Oh, how about that time she refused to marry that slimeball running the propriety police, who then framed her for a capital female crime she didn't commit so she would have to choose between death or becoming a slave so he could buy her? Right. Good one. She chose death… [Stop! Stop! Too many spoilers!]

#WordWeavers 2503.29 — What superpower would best suit your MC, in the context of their story?

I've said this before. The devil-girl is autistic. She has a superpower: It's learning. Her kryptonite is understanding and dealing with people, but she's well trained in that.

Mostly.

Friendship? Love?

It's her journey of discovery, her story.
