I've been a fan of the Galway Film Society for about 30 years, and last night's opening movie for the Autumn/Winter 2026 season was a real treat: "The Colours of Time", with a French title of "La venue de l'avenir" (The Arrival of the Future).

Spoiler-free congratulations to the winner of the Onosato-Aonishiki bout!
A Simpsons meme where a rakishly grinning man is exiting a supply closet at the nuclear power plant, leaving a forlorn woman behind him. She is asking “Will I ever see you again?” and he is answering “Sure baby. Next honbasho.”
Oh! The woman’s face is covered by the NHK World Japan logo. Yeah, this probably doesn’t make much sense unless you know that, or you have very different sumo-watching experiences than most. Maybe people hooking up in nuclear power plant supply closets watch sumo. We don’t know. Frankly, we don’t want to know. It’s a market we can do without.
