Best Movie of The Year!

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I watched the movie “Skyfall” for the first time. And I enjoyed it very much!

One memorable scene comes when Emme quotes a few lines from the poem “Ulysses” by Alfred Tennyson. They are really worth repeating:

 

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

“As time goes on I get more and more convinced that the right method in investment is to put fairly large sums into enterprises which one thinks one knows something about and in the management of which one thoroughly believes. It is a mistake to think that one limits one’s risk by spreading too much between enterprises about which one knows little and has no reason for special confidence.” - John Maynard Keynes

 

You are in good company, Giovanni.  Those lines by Lord Tennyson were among Ben Graham's favorites.  :)

Finally a subject where my opinion is just as good an anybody else's!

 

I loved Life of Pi.  And I wasn't a fan of any Ang Lee movie before that.

 

(Fargo TV show me no likey.)

I'm curious about the Fargo show as well. I've been meaning to watch it since I went to high school with Alison Tollman.
