The new era

 Almost lost the password. Had to go back to Lastpass to retrieve it. It was the one that still works.

After several failed new year resolutions, I finally managed to start removing some stuff in the garage. I realized that I can trash the whole shelf of papers. I'm certain I won't need them anymore. Those were my works. Some academic collections and some papers that I stole from my employers. It wasn't some secret. I can learn something new that interests me while having nothing better to do.

But after so many years, I'm not going back to that. I can always take some new courses that interest me if I choose to.

I happened to come across a movie that pop up on my Netflix. It was an ex-assassin gang who regrouped to kill people who wanted to die. Some are too old and too lonely to want to live that I understand. One is a wife who has no more money for medical bills. Her husband popped into her room to see her one more time and told her to reincarnate into a better family.

Both ex-assassins are legends. I have told you that my idols my age are dying young like fries. This actor started a lot earlier. He was like Brat Pit. When he was totally forgotten, he came back, taking lead or important roles like Connery. Then he must have been being forgotten again because he was old. Now I'm totally surprised because he looked like 70's or even 80's. The old skin on his face shows it all. And he's still playing the lead role, an ex-assassin that can still fight.

The woman ex-assassin is another legend. She started early, copying Sherly Temple. She wasn't beautiful enough when she grew up so she disappeared. She acted as a male for a bit. She turned up again when she was middle-aged. She took on some male characters and some females. The last time I saw her many years ago, she was making some art movies with a large budget for stars. In the beginning, it was supposed to be a movie for the ages with all the stars and the storyline. But then the movie just collapsed in the middle as if they ran of money all of a sudden.

This time she plays a grandmother. And owns a neighborhood club with middle-aged and older clients socializing. She is also the singer. I've been to something like that but private and with woman escorts.

The films are more European now. Local filmmakers are not going to get big budgets. The storytelling is good. The stars are amateurs but you may get some legends. Music is good. It's more like an art film except that the language is everyday restroom dialogue, or fewer people will come.

The credits include footage with the stars recording a song for the movie. Everybody cries.
