I'm lousy at this. There are so many popular movies I've never seen, which makes it harder to come up with anything.

This reminds me of a tv miniseries I really enjoyed which I haven't thought of in a long time.

reply

I vaguely remember the title, but I never saw it. You liked it, huh?

reply

Yes, I thought it was pretty good. From what I remember, it was about power, control, dominance. The movie Wall Street reminds me of it. The character of Gordon Gekko in that movie would have been seen as a " master of the game, " at least for most of it. It was about the one who ultimately prevails.

I just looked. My library has it so I'll be checking it out.

reply

That is very cool and interesting. I'd be really interested in your take on it after you've seen it.
