Saw it during our post-Downton Abbey Maggie Smith kick. And what a heartwarming cameo Bennett made in that final scene. 👍
“I’m so deep in focus trying to make this not look like a poo." - Tom Arden, "The Great British Bake Off.”
The creative process in a nutshell.
Reading Bennett’s gentle contemplations in this diary was an absolute treat. Artists like him are living proof that, should we learn to stare mortality in the eye without it turning us bitter or cruel, social constructs built around age and sex become nothing more than crumbs left on the plate.
We just watched the 1960 version of “Inherit The Wind” yesterday. Of the many lines of quotable dialogue in the movie, my favourite is the low-key savage observation from reporter Hornbeck about the pompous old windbag Brady: “He’s the only man I know who can strut sitting down."
Assuming we think they’re sincere, the rash of tech industrialists announcing their chatbots are conscious is such a blistering indictment of their personality/character.
They literally cannot conceive of a person being made up of more than words. They are incapable of understanding humanness.
Maman!

This is our first winter in Ottawa when a significant section of the Ottawa River has frozen over. Kìwekì Point, Ottawa Ontario.

Album cover for the single Sweet Bird Of Truth by The The. Artwork by Andy Dog. A jagged harsh painting of a man’s distressed face, wearing a pilot’s skull cap, the image of an airplane going down in flames reflected in his aviator goggles.
And a moment of appreciation for the arresting artwork his late brother, Andrew Johnson, produced for so many of Matt’s releases.
It’s always a fun lineup when the late, great, Udo Kier is in the mix!
I’m quoting someone here who spotted the grift: “99% audience score is IMPRESSIVE! Also incredible that every single 5 star reviewer decided this would be the first movie they ever review on rotten tomatoes. It’s almost as if 1000s of accounts just magically appeared to review ONLY this movie.”
Amazon: “Our customer reviews are 100% reliable."
Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter: “Hold my beer."
Looking good!
I was getting “Mulholland Drive” vibes from the lastest episode of “Plur1bus,” so I searched online and — sure enough — someone caught Vince Gilligan’s homage to David Lynch. I am loving this show.
Please, Carol.

Every discerning American right now must feel like the kids on that school bus in The Sweet Hereafter.
Lovely!
Please don’t tell me this is where merkins come from.

As a philosophy major who adored symbolic logic courses, this may be my favorite cartoon ever.
I hear the car chase scene is incredible.
I expect it will be less of a Golden Dome and more of a Bronze Slather.
The “western alienation” narrative sounds more like 80% western exceptionalism and 17% persecution complex.
“We’re better than the rest of Canada and that’s why you hate us."
Best. Epitaph. Ever.
