If you start The Apartment at 10:07pm on Xmas eve, Xmas day starts at the exact moment Shirley MacLaine falls out of the apartment window.

I have an ear worm my brain came up with years ago: Boutros Boutros-Ghali Riding in the park Boutros Boutros-Ghali Goes out after dark Boutros Boutros-Ghali Looking for some sauce Boutros Boutros-Ghali Watch out for that horse! for some reason he always cycles into the back of a horse.

From an astrological perspective I wonder if Musk’s obsession with Mars - the male planet - has warped his brain. Maybe he should send a few rockets to Venus to balance himself out.

The correct response is to put a cup of tea next to it when you see it is "in the middle of its cycle" so that when it has finished it knows you were there.

Back in the never, never - the long before times - folk would gathered in disused buildings wearing luminous clothing to read our tribal myths on these things called Tamagotchis

Just watched the Speak No Evil remake. Whilst it had some fun parts in the first two acts it completely inverted the theme of the original. Comparing ithe two would be a great case study for showing the difference between a progressive (original) and reactionary (remake) horror.

The only thing stopping you from taking your seat at the table is waiting for an invitation that doesn’t exist.

This was always going to hit me hard. There are filmmakers, and then there is Lynch. Thanks David, for everything. Safe journey into the mystery. x “Ultimately, each life is a mystery until we each solve the mystery, and that's where we are all headed whether we know it or not.” David Lynch.

Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie A fantasy we created about people and places as we'd like them to be But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding And it's that man you fought with this morning The same one you're going to make love with tonight That's truth That's love

If you love cinema and/or psychoanalysis you MUST follow Mary Wild and attend some of her lectures. I've had the pleasure of joining a few - both online and at the Freud Museum - and she is one of the best speakers out there on the subject.

This article absolutely nails it. If you’re going to delve into the horror of the unknowable, keep it unknowable.

If you're driven to creative work don't wait for money or permission. Adopt a punk mindset: - Fuck the gatekeepers. - Make your own work. - Find your audience. Forget the fear of “getting it right.” What matters is getting it made.

Some recent drama has forgotten that complex interesting characters have flaws and are morally conflicted. Two dimensional idealised representations of ‘nice’ characters are tokenistic. That’s why films like The Substance, Love Lies Bleeding etc are so good. The writers/directors understand drama.

robertdee @robertdee.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Sometimes scenes that make us feel uncomfortable are supposed to make us feel uncomfortable. This kind of criticism of characters is infantile and ignorant of how drama works.

Just watched Bird by Andrea Arnold on Mubi. The best film I’ve seen this year. Blown away by it. Arnold grew up in a council house raised by a single mum. Not giving access to the arts to ALL British people means we all lose out. youtu.be/2y0iJkT97Jc?...

What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaninglessness of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms. - #ViktorFrankl, 'Man's Search for Meaning'

@duolingoverde.bsky.social I’m doing the Japanese course which is great but the audio lessons are often in the wrong places, asking user to copy phrases and fill in blank words that haven’t even been taught yet. Can you get someone to QA it properly?

Can’t they just get the AI to tell them how to create a better business model 😀

Im aware of that but AI being profit driven is a big issue seeing as it will decimate other people’s opportunity for income. I’m a pro-AI person but I think things will need to change structurally and there’s going to be some painful transitions where whole industries of people will suffer

$200 monthly subscription for pro ChatGPT is incredibly irresponsible. AI offers people a huge advantage in the marketplace. Making access to latest models out of reach for most people is obscene.

How does Labour deal with a media who's owners are so heavily biased against them? Is the strategy to just keep doing the good stuff until everyone notices the disconnect?
