Movies Watched -- High Art (1998)

102 minute running time including credits so the right length… I had never heard of this movie before watching nepo baby Hannah Einbinder’s visit to the Criterion Closet. I am the keeper of the Master List of Every Criterion Closet Pick Ever Made and noticed that nepo baby Hannah was the only guest ever to pick High Art, which intrigued me. My local library had a copy so I borrowed it and watched it last night.

To my surprise, I really liked this movie. I didn’t love it, but I liked it enough to give it 3.5 stars. 4 stars is a recommended movie, but there are only a few hundred of those in existence. 3.5 is pretty good, considering.

Anyway, it’s mainly a lesbian love story. There’s this cute, fat-faced Australian girl (a blue-eyed beauty named Radha (hippie parents?) born in 1973) who falls in love with her older upstairs neighbor, played by Ally Sheedy of all people! You’ll remember Ally Sheedy (born in 1962) from The Breakfast Club, but in this she plays a scrawny bra-less lesbian in a tank top (wife beater). In fact all the women in this movie are scrawny bra-less dykes wearing tank tops, which made me laugh. Cute fat-face thankfully never shows up in a tank top.

They make the Ally Sheedy character Jewish, which also interested me. Ally Sheedy herself had a Jewish mom (Catholic dad), which explains her great hair. Ally’s rich mother (in the movie lol) bankrolls her existence (and heroin habit). Ally also borrows mom’s old Mercedes (Nazi car) for trips to their upstate house from Manhattan. Does she drive as far as Otsego county? Sexy air up there.

Ally is a great photographer, one-time famous kinda. Ally has a German girlfriend named Greta who is brilliantly played by Patricia Clarkson. She made me fall down laughing with her ridiculous heroin-slurred German accent. “Ze teenager!” Radha works as an “assistant editor” at some fashion/photography magazine, a job that mainly involves bringing tea and scones to some asshole with a ponytail who looks a little like Jeff Goldblum. Radha has the bright idea of advancing her career by featuring Ally’s great photographs. She’s ambitious.

Bunch of beautiful people of assorted colors and ethnicities (though no heart-of-Africa blacks) lounging around Ally’s dingy loft snorting heroin. Bad idea, kids. “Pervasive drug use” was on the R rating, which made me laugh.

So the vibe of this movie was really great. It captured New York City East Village loft life in the late 1990s in a realistic way. There’s something about the mood that is very appealing. The script is good, the acting is good, but the ending is no good. If it had a good ending, this could have been a four star movie. I’ve never seen Radha in any other movie, which is suprising since she’s clearly another talented actress from Oz, like Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts.

Here’s a good post about the movie by by B. Ruby Rich, who appears to be a non-scrawny dyke.

This guy also wrote a good review, which included this funny line: “Impressively, however, it's Sheedy—and who ever thought this sentence was possible?—who holds the picture together.”

A brief interview with Cholodenko from 1998, back when there were, gasp, newspapers.

Radha good at crying on demand

MSTR Quietly Hides Average Cost of Pet Rock Holdings

This is GIGO’s report on it:

The dashboard layout on strategy.com and [strategy.com/btc](https://strategy.com/btc) underwent a subtle shift, and the average purchase price is no longer featured as a primary highlight card on the main pages.

The metric was highly prominent during the bull run when MicroStrategy’s average cost basis was well below the spot price. However, with Bitcoin pulling back below $60,000, MicroStrategy's overall average purchase price of $75,651 per BTC places their massive 847,363 BTC hoard into an aggregate unrealized loss exceeding $10 billion.

Where did it go?

While it has been removed from the main summary metrics on the home page and /btc page, the data is not entirely gone from the site:

• The "Purchases" Tab: If you navigate to [strategy.com/purchases](https://strategy.com/purchases), they still maintain a comprehensive ledger of every corporate purchase batch. The top total row of that table still explicitly shows the aggregate Avg BTC Price ($75,651) and total acquisition price.

• SEC Filings: It remains a mandatory disclosure in their official financial reporting (such as their 8-K and 10-Q filings), where they list their digital asset cost basis.

The structural redesign of the main landing pages has refocused attention away from the aggregate cost basis and toward newer corporate indicators, such as "BTC Yield" and "Bitcoin Per Share (in Sats)".

Watching Debt Transform Into the Bitcoin Dream

This is apparently AI-generated, but it made me fall off my chair laughing. Pet Rock going to zero of course.

Let me recap the earning call.

Yeah.

They said, "Mike, don't touch the Bitcoin stack." Now I'm buying more while they fighting into black. STRC printing, engine running clean, watching debt transform into the Bitcoin dream.

Turned on the BTC drive. No shame in my face. 65 billion and I'm still winning the race. They panic when I say sell a little coin just to prove the whole market doesn't break or get destroyed.

Company fine, Bitcoin fine. World still spins. You scream Ponzi while the weak cave in. Bitcoin getting stronger. Every cycle reborn while I keep building through the middle of the storm.

I'd like nothing better than to rip your wings off.

Every short position getting weaker when we lift off.

I'd like nothing better than to rip your wings off.

We used the equity ATM. Yeah. Yeah. We said it with pride. Then the STRC machine came alive on the side. More tools, more options, more fuel for the fire. While the shorts pray every quarter that the stock expires. I buy Bitcoin like development land. Buy it low, build it up, then expand what we can. Flip the profit back again into more BTC. That's the difference between conviction and jealousy.

I like nothing better than to rip your wings off. Watching every short seller realize there's no second best.

I like nothing better than to rip your wings off. There is no second best.
