“Young, ambitious, and insecure” is the moniker for this show which…I’m not going to watch. This is a time waster for me, like most shows on TV these days.
The WSJ did a piece about it October 29, 2020.
“She’s very good and she’s meant to be in these rooms, but she comes from humble beginnings so there’s an imposter’s syndrome.” -Myhal’a Herold about her character Harper.
WSJ, John Jurgensen, Oct. 29th, 2020
One of the dumbshits who’ve made the show:
“The way my desk was structured, you could see your career progression across the room, the Vp on one end and the managing director on the other,” Mr. Downs said. “I left, but I think I would have been pushed…I was really, really not very good at it.”
WSJ
Good. Which qualifies you for nothing. And now you’ve made a movie. Which nobody’s gonna watch.
Meanwhile, I have a movie idea that’s 100% solid and has nothing to do with romanticizing banking careers.
Until Hollywood finally wakes up to making a good movie, I’m re-watching GoT and other movies worth watching.
The post Hollywood (HBO) misses again first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>Let’s try not to fail this question.
I’ve taken more takes on GoT than on any other film series, with the exception of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.
It’s easy to see why: GoT has:
People struggled hard that their newly minted tyrant turned dead on arrival to the Throne.
So, what happened ?
Not surprisingly, Tyrion, the last of the Lannisters, shaped the decisions and the outcomes in the last episode. In the exchange he has with Jon Snow, at Snow’s remark “Love is the death of duty” (sourced to a Master Aemon) , Tyrion says: Duty is the death of love.
Love is a joke, and the joke is on you…unless you’re the Dragon, who melts the Iron Throne.
“You’re the most powerful men in Westeros.
Choose one.”
So they chose…
What unites people is stories.
Hence, Brandon…
“No one is very happy,
Which means is a good compromise.”
All these quotes are from Master Tyrion.
The true Master of the Episode, and of the Series.
Him and Bran, who in 2017/18 when I was writing the Book of The Underdog I saw rising.
I hope you’ll grab the book where I asked you to watch for the future King of the Six Kingdoms.
The post How did the Game of Thrones end ? (Season Finale) first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>“If your boss wouldn’t be holding your balls with a forceps knife, would you really be his loyal follower” ?
That’s the question that will come up today, Monday at every water-cooler break. At the office. With GoT fans.
After watching Episode 5 of the last series of GoT, many Starbucks coffee cups holders came unhappy with their lady. The reason: The Mother of Dragons burned down the city state (or kingdom, what ever), even after they rang the bells (ringing the bells was supposed to signal surrender). A lot of destruction and carnage ensued since Danaerys continued to burn the city down.
I am not here to give anyone a blowjob. Or a dopamine hit.
Danaerys is tough, and it appears the numbskulls (who make up 99% of the population) don’t really like that. It shows in their disapproval.
“She killed Varys as much as I did.” -Danaerys speaking of her execution of her advisor, Varys.
We need to see that Kingdom, King’s Landing, was led by fear (by Cersei). They weren’t used to anything else. When destruction came…how can rebirth come if not after the destruction of the old ? What rule were they expecting if not the rule of fear, the rule of the land ?
In other news, I have been repeatedly asked to post something like “Cool things of the Week/Month”. People have asked for a column like that. I am considering doing it. Meanwhile, we can start of this week with the Lumipod. The Lumipod came to me via The Manual.
“
“Built within a circular steel structure with a diameter of almost 18 feet and a ceiling height of over seven feet, the LumiPod is a spacious, but compact bedroom suite perfect for dispersed hotels, estate follies, or modern backyard guests accommodations, but really, the uses are as varied as your imaginings.
The best part of the LumiPod isn’t its sleek shape or its carefully considered interior, it’s the massive, curved sliding wall that can be retracted so the main part of the LumiPod blends seamlessly with nature, making it truly an indoor-outdoor living space.” -The Manual

How cool is that ?
The post Game of Thrones Season 8, Ep. 5 first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>I am not going to do my sermon today. I will let the characters from Game of Thrones speak for me. Season 8 Ep. 4. The one numbskulls decried (because they drink too much Starbucks). Did any of them shitheads “experts” in redpill theory ever went hungry for one day ? Can they even go for a week, no, not a week, for 48 hours, can they make it without their phones ? (Our phones, btw, should be called dumbphones, not smartphones, because they make people dumber).
Here are three exchanges from Episode 4 (May 5th). Those are from Daenerys (the first one) and Tyrion, the little dude: Note: if the exchanges are not the exact quotes, please forgive me. They are as close as I remembered.
“I’m here to free the world from tyrants. That is my destiny.”
“What is the realm ? A vast continent filled with millions of people. Most of whom don’t care who sits on the Iron Throne.” -Tyrion
“I know you don’t care about your people. Why should you ? They hate you and you hate them” –
Tyrion to my girlfriend Cersei
The second quote should be placed in context. It was part of the exchange Tyrion Lannister, adviser to the Queen Daenerys Stormborn has with her other adviser, the eunuch. The eunuch, Varys, argues that Jon Snow would make a better leader for the people (he is to a point)…
Tyrion was drinking a lot. I’m sure, good wine. But he didn’t have the music that we have. So we’re playing a second classic tonight. Tyrion hasn’t made the rounds of Miami Beach’s best nightclubs like we had.
Nobody can be an agent for the *world*. It’s a construct of the mind, that both Varys and Danaerys (naturally) fall for. Ain’t falling for that.
Do you think *leaders* don’t know about those quotes, especially number two and three ?
P.S. Can you believe it that Ultra has left Miami, and this was its last year ? I feel like we lost a dragon.
The post Leadership: GoT Episode 4 first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>I’m not a geek. I am not a SM monkey. By now the press is up and running with non-sense, favorites, script soul-searching and Arya Stark heroine supporters.
And they all miss the points. Just like they always will. Knuckleheads and numbskulls cannot teach strategy.
Apparently there wasn’t a weak spot in the Night King’s armor. As we have seen when The Mother of Dragons fired full force on the Night King, The Night King is immune to dragon fire. Dragons can only fight dragons.
Boy it was pretty dark in that episode. (heard that complaint from many fans). What do you expect when the Night King arrives, the environment turns icy and dark.
The dead turned men into dead men (called “wights”). That was the Night King strength, turning his enemies into his own supporters. Conversely, his weakness was his demise meant the demise of his own army.
In the end, everybody fights for himself.
In the end, the Night King comes for us all.
That person was Bran. Ok, he is in a wheelchair, so he can’t damn move. Even if he tried to. He didn’t move a single finger.

Literally everybody: *dead*
The world: *literally about to fucking end*

How did the spectacular kill-shot Arya delivered right before her death, happen ? Let’s remember the red woman, Melisandre, talked to Arya before and said something about her killing all kinds of eyes: brown, blue, green, prophesying her move.
Idiots and beelzebubs are still in a haze. So, I’ll ask again,
It was Arya Stark alright, but HOW did she do it ? You could say it was with a Valyrian Steel knife, this and that, but that’s not the answer.
Can you turn your life upside down, right before your own death or defeat ? That is the question you should ask yourself. And if so, how to you do it ?
Because you’re in good company. In the company of the three-eyed crow.
The post Game of Thrones S8E3: The high level perspective first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>1. The death of Lord Baelish. Littlefinger had been a master schemer and power mover for so long acing his way it was hard to believe he was executed. The mistake of this power manipulator ? Read in this tweet. There’s a lesson in there.
Moral of the episode:
Not every lady needs saving
Not every lady needs to be fought for
If she's not into you, let it go#GameOfThrones— Sansa Stark (@Iady_sansa) August 28, 2017
2. Cersei ready to kill her lover and father of her child Jaime Lannister, Commander of her army. Wait. Did she do it ? She hasn’t done it yet, has she ? After the episode ended, the Internet erupted with the real Game of Thrones is the “White House of Thrones” and King Cersei getting dumber and dumber.
Nothing else was really a surprise for me, including:
The Fall of the Great Wall. All Walls are meant to fall. There a lesson in there.
Or the revelation that Jon Stark is a Targaryen.
Or Jon Stark making out with the silver haired queen.
“Not even Frank Ocean’s new song, Taylor Swift’s new video, or Katy Perry’s unfunny MTV VMAs circus could compare with Sunday night’s biggest cultural event. “-Esquire
After the show ended, people start going nuts CAN’T WAIT UNTIL 2018 or 2019 FOR THE LAST AND FINAL SEASON !” People were hyped up, people screaming they don’t want to wait another year or two to see what happens next.
I am asking, however, don’t you have a quite similar show to watch ? I think you do. That show is your life. You don’t have to wait until 2018 or 2019 for that show to air.
You do have a little Game of Thrones going on in your life right now, don’t you ?
Think hard, and think better. You do have a slimy Littlefinger character in your life right now, who is working to put some screws on you, do you not ? Tell me How are dealing with him ? Are you going to let him (or her) fuck you in the back ? I guarantee there’s a Littlefinger out there-in your life who’s pulling the strings with “divide and conquer”. President Cersei is not the only one who’s using that timeless strategy. Are you a man or cunt ? Are you just going to let them screw you over again and again ?
Poetic justice, unfortunately, doesn’t happen easy. Yes, masters get severed by their pupils as it happened with Sansa and Petyr Baelish. Be glad you’re reading this blog, because you’ll get a clear picture of the games people play in life.
The Game of Thones is sure to keep us on our toes. Is this further proof that Game of Thrones’ Bran Stark is actually the Night King?
Meanwhile, I am developing “Anti-boss sofware for the brain”. so you can get your act together.
