The allegation here is that wealthy tourists paid to be able to shoot human beings. Perhaps killing wildlife wasn't enough for them. If true, psychopathic scarcely begins to cover it.

Last night. Under stormy clouds. The sea darkening silk. Houses staring at the horizon, still holding the late afternoon light, bold against the grey. The sky is the drama. The houses are the quiet refrain. And the winds have blown and blustered all night.

Went to see a Dolmen made for me, The Spinsters Stone.
Sadly, again, despite my pleas to the eldritch, I am still a Spinster and have not been spirited away. Such a bother.

Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" has an ardent following, and it's not hard to see why. At the same time, for a movie with some brilliant moments, it never quite gels. Let's talk Boyle, Alex Garland, and blowing up the sun:
