What a clever idea!

I was talking only the other day about how funny I found Lukas Moodyson's Together (2000). At the time of release it was criticised as being anti-American. Anyroad, I picked it up at a local charity shop which has a 3 dvd for a quid(3) offer. Funny to find it so soon after recalling it!
Cinema poster for a movie by Lukas Mooodyson. the movie's title---Together--spreads across the centre of a red background. The title is outlined in white and the letters act as a peephole, capturing fragments of scenes from the Swedish movie. A photograph on the cover of a blu ray edition of the Coen Brothers' remake of True Grit--based on the novel by Charles Portis. The film's star roles are shown; left to right:Hailee Steinfeld, Jeff Bridges, Mat Damon, Josh Broslin.

I loved Begonia. Frankenstein was too like a PS5 game for my liking; and Oscar Isaacs too reminiscent of Harry H. Corbett in Carry on Screaming. Scott of the Antarctic remains a masterpiece of the screen. Being a notorious softie, The Choral made me cry, otherwise it is eminently missable.
Picture of honey engulfing a woman's face Poster depicting the face of the monster in the most recent movie adaptation of Frankenstein. Poster showing John Mills as Scott of the Antarctic. The actor is mid-center, to his right is a cross which marks the grave of one of his colleagues on the expedition to the South Pole. To his left and behind him are a group of four other intrepid (or foolhardy) comrades . Poster for a movie starring Ralph Fiennes. The figure of the actor dominates and the title runs horizontal across him--forming a crucifix. Scenes from the movie are captured in the four sectors.

Cartoon published by NewsThump. A character resembling J.D Vance is peeping into room where sits Grossident Trump in audience with an Arabian prince who is dressed in typical Saudi male clothes. The Vance figure is shouting into the room: “Hey, where’s your f**cling suit!” ( a reference perhaps to similar obnoxious behaviour by Vance when the Ukrainian president attended the White House earlier this year.

Watching Oscar Isaacs play Frankenstein in the new Netflix movie, I could not get Carry on Screaming out of my head.

Relief of a dark-haired woman, wearing a purple dress. She is rising phoenix-like from flames that have consumed her previous incarnations. She retains the bonds and bounds of those other selves—as symbolised here by their bones.

A photograph of Aunt Polly Jackson. She is renowned for her ferocity in resisting slave-catchers. In the photograph, Aunt Polly has a pan of boiling water to hand--and ready to hurl on any intruding slave-catcher. She has a butcher's knife, in her right-hand.

I looked for a picture of Aubrey Plaza, to put alongside one of her hotter blistered face in Honey Don't! Could not find one, so here's a cool one of her with John Waters.

Tony Harrison died yesterday. I saw the staging of his translation of The Orestia, at the National Theatre—magnificent!
The tv film about the dementing woman was controversial to some. This poem of his speaks for itself:

A poem by Carol Ann Duffy: How it glitters and shines: The Grand Service, among the rocks and the rubble, laid out on a breezeblock horseshoe table, six crystal glasses per setting. It took eight servants three weeks to polish-silver coated in a thin layer of gold-even the concrete dust in the air seems glamourised And the ruins are decked in the uplifting flags of democracy. To start, fillet of Dover Sole filled with salmon mousse, served on a bed of leeks with white wine sauce. Poached Sandringham venison with truffles to follow. Then Key Lime Pie, and among the wines, Chateau Pinchon—Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, 1990. Yum-Yum. Let the trumpets sound on the bombsite as the great and the good pick their way through, and a famished child peers through a bullet-hole in a wall.

Bektashi phoneboxes
A darkened room enlightened by dawn arriving through blood red curtains. For a British sensibility the impression is of spectral red Royal Mail telephone boxes. The town beyond the curtain in Berat, Albania— hence the reference to Bektashi.
