Film Time! Revisited the strange, whimsical folkloric Czech anthology flick PRAGUE NIGHTS (1969). The cracking Golem tale of the opening segment is the highlight. Striking macabre imagery peppered throughout, bolstered by a typically haunting score by the great Zdeněk Liška...

Four pebbles on a black sand beach - two blue/greenish and two orangeish - with patterns below them formed by the water running off. Not sure what they look like as a group, but I liked them.

I had heard they were mass scanning background actors for AI nonsense, but if it’s already gotten to the point where they’re trying to slip in AI waivers on contracts with big names like Nicolas fucking Cage we’ve got to be even louder and angrier about how much we want all AI out of our media.

Autumn comes to the cottages with carpets of apple rot that sour the air with vinegar tang. Comes in a dressing of the year not in green gowns, but wounded rags of brown. It comes as a fear of early darkness. A terror of hungry spirits that rush the path. – #DAKilory, 1982
