That pan edition is a truly lovely thing.

I saw Mangold's first feature 'Heavy' for the first time recently and it holds up really well. Great cast, great sombre drama.

This looks a bit like the part in E.T. when the government take over Elliot's house.

This is a genuine cult classic. A real gem.

It deals well with those human struggles that extend far beyond the professional trappings of the two boys. I also felt the same about Jodie Foster in S.O.T.L. and also Mr Mulder from the Twitter-Files (oops, I mean, X-Files 😉)

Kierkegaard's 'The Concept of Dread' was first published in 1844, the same year the electric telegraph became commercially viable: another milestone in mankind's messy divorce from (and self-promotion above) the plenum.

The former is fueled by security. The latter by insecurity. Being insecure is not a crime. But how you deal with it matters.

I love how much Greek vases remind me of the ukiyo-e style in Japanese art. Similar outlines and sequential scenes. A bit like old comic books. Beautiful.

If Dennis Weaver had ditched his Valiant for the BMW 2002 that truck would have eating dust.

I'll honour him by re-watching his episode of The Twilight Zone, 'Miniature'. Written by Charles Beaumont.

And even if such inaccuracies were eliminated, people should not be using these things to do the mindful work they should be doing themselves. Now all this crap is getting marbled into an already noisy audio-visual media landscape. JOY!

It brought me back to the types of games we got more of in the ps2 era. I played it on the difficulty just below 'normal' because the bosses were quite disagreeable and made me say some VERY bad words.

I'm now trying to picture Christopher Lee hosting Bullseye: "Keep out of the black and in the red..." certainly would have hit differently.

Same. 'Stray Dog' and 'Do the right Thing' spring to mind. I wouldn't last five minutes in those two.

Really enjoyed that, Francis. I was just looking up some stuff about Jung on faith and folklore, which led me to Wiktionary for a quick check on the word 'Pistis' – (faith) – which then led me to discover what it means in Lithuanian. 😳

Sounds like another zone-flood. More hypernormal bedlamism. Shock Corridor.
