Life is a complicated business. So complicated in fact that we can only have a slender grasp on reality. The sly and smart people know this. Watch out for them!

So #VisionQuest is not crap; which is a pleasant surprise. A lot is down to the gravitas, the charisma of James Spader and an actual interesting storyline. Here's hoping 🤞

Started watching Clarice. Four episodes in and they've introduced racism, white privilege and Clarice apologising for being a poor ally to her black roommate. Fuck off. Fuck right off, and when you get to where you've fucked off too, fuck off some more. No wonder there was only one season.

'It is the whites. It has always been the whites.

Antisemitism is befouling your soul. You're becoming a useful tool of the Lord of lies.
It is the Jews. It has always been the Jews.
Not all of them, but always them.

Norway is breathtakingly beautiful. Cameras fail to capture the scale as they flatten out the images.

Finally went to see the #Odyssey. The DEI casting was ludicrous and an unnecessary distraction, as were the American accents. The dialogue at times was awful 'this age of bronze is ending', just eff off! John Leguizamo was great as was Robert Pattinson and Samantha Morton. Matt Damon was just OK but I think that was more to do with how Odysseus was written. He was unrecognisable from the original text. They turned him from the military genius, trickster, warrior, flawed and sometimes filled with hubris, to a guilt ridden PTSD sufferer. Nolan was not the director this film needed.
Visually it was stunning with some set pieces really excellent. I hated the horse. It looked plastic and did not resemble a construction made from wood from a ship. Polyphemus was well done but the departure from the text was too much. The turning the men into pigs practical effects were good, but not a patch on those in An American Werewolf In London (1981) or The Thing (1982). This story was at least a 3 movie undertaking to do justice to the complexity of the story. 5½🌟, 6 at a push.

Excellent piece by Sara Morrison @Wild_Timmy on the situation in Belfast.

So Christopher #Nolan could've picked a Greek actress to play Helen Of Troy in his feminist adaptation of Homer's #The_Odyessy, perhaps Anastasia Tsilimiou or perhaps Klelia Andriolatou, but chose an average looking black woman. That's a deliberate Fuck You to western civilisation and culture. He'll not get one penny from me.

Did I miss the 'moderate muslim' 'Not In Our Name' marches in response to the repated attacks on Jews?

They really do hate the Jews so much that they'll vote for this abomination. Trump should kick the UN out of America and raze the building to the ground. – at Belfast, Northern Ireland
SHAME: The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets soon to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention.
