A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only to what he does himself, that it may be just and pure.

[Ὅσην εὐσχολίαν κερδαίνει ὁ μὴ βλέπων τί ὁ πλησίον εἶπεν ἢ ἔπραξεν ἢ διενοήθη, ἀλλὰ μόνον τί αὐτὸς ποιεῖ, ἵνα αὐτὸ τοῦτο δίκαιον ᾖ καὶ ὅσιον ἢ † κατὰ τὸν ἀγαθὸν.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 4, ch. 18 (4.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Long (1862)]

I watched Puppet Master and it was strangely entertaining for a kinda rubbishy movie.

The acting isn't the best and the characters are sort of bland, and the directing is OK at best. But somehow it was fairly enjoyable.

I remember watching it when I was younger and I really didn't remember anything about it except the puppets and the bit in the lift at the end.

The story isn't super complex and the reason they were called to the house is a little bit weak. It also does the dream-within-a-dream thing about a million times too.

But overall, it's a watchable film.
