I get really bad tempered when there's low pressure coming in from the Atlantic. So, if I'm snappy, you probably deserve it for being irritating, and I'm an utter joy.

From this time last year "From the 1987 J-Horror movie "帽子の女性" ("The Hat Lady"). An oddly Ruritanian entry to the genre, where minor European royalty, and an American politician are menaced by an ancient curse."

Melania Trump stands off the right, looking like a ghost from Japanese Horror movie.

From 2013. "Being older than god, I remember when the original Robocop movie was largely satire - the TV spots now look like trailers for the forthcoming Autumn Season, and the news portrayal appears to imply a higher level of journalistic integrity than our current so-called news services."
