I dread the dawn's recurrent light;
I hate to go to bed at night.
I snoot at simple, earnest folk.
I cannot take the gentlest joke.
I find no peace in paint or type.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted.
For what I think, I'd be arrested.

Trump: Spain is "unfriendly". Maybe someone should study the role of friendship?

A dream lies dead here
Walk not in woe,
But, for a little, let your step be slow.
And, of your mercy, be not sweetly wise
With words of hope and Spring and tenderer skies.

@rianjohnson.bsky.social dear creator-of-the-best-star-wars-film-ever,
I promised my aunt to take her to Wake up Dead Man. But it's not showing in any cinema in Rotterdam. Or any cinema in the Netherlands at all? I remember a packed cinema for Glass Onion, so it can't be that there is no demand.

Great article; great person.
In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the release of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on November 19, 1975, I want to reshare my contextual history review of the film that doubles as a guide for thinking through our reactions to films, why we feel the ways we do, with my own thinking as a case study.

Not as much as I appreciate your thoughts and work on here. Keep being awesome!
Big fan of your work. Friends & followers: this is going to be a great keynote to attend:
"None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a bi disk. When it stands its cry expresses profound loneliness like a black dragon floating above the clouds."
