The review

Three women take cases for a man they only hear over a speaker. The premise says they are competent. The picture dresses them as the product, and the case is an excuse for the poster to change. It was a phenomenon, so a great many people wanted that look back every week.

A girl watching learns the job is a look. That is the lesson to refuse if she is in the room. The man with the orders never has to stand there and be ordinary. The women who do the running are arranged for the camera, and the competence named at the start gets spent on the costume. Real investigating is not an outfit with a thin folder under the arm.

Journal

Keep Charlie's Angels in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 25. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Reacher

48 instead of 25

Reacher is still a action show, and it scores 48 instead of 25. What you gain is courage: He does not leave the weak to the men with the mortgages and the guns.

Wonka's The Golden Ticket

A contest of appetite. The prize is money, and the work is a stunt.

The review

Twelve pairs, a life-size chocolate factory, a life-changing sum. The logline is the review. Work has been turned into a stunt, wonder into a sponsorship, and a good life into a single check. A man may enjoy a contest. He should notice when the contest is the only remaining idea of excellence.

Dahl's original factory was already a warning about greedy children. This version keeps the sugar and misplaces the warning. If the house is going to watch people scramble, watch something where the scramble teaches a skill. Leave the golden ticket in the wrapper.
