Let’s start with this fact : I don’t know anything about Star Wars. Okay, that’s not entirely true. It’s set in space, right? And Yoda’s part of the “good” gang. And they use light sabers. I also picked up from Toy Story 2 that the sentence “I am your father” is very Star Wars-y. A...

Talking about a lot of things
Recurring problem: At 7.34 this morning, a huge insect with plenty of hairy legs fell from the TOP of the COMPUTER to the KEYBOARD and almost crawled up my GODDAM HAND. ARGH! It looked to me like a scorpion, but it couldn’t have been, as it didn’t have the claw thing attached to his stupid...

This is all about Pale Saints
I’m here this morning to write utterly useless things. Number one is that one of the best films I’ve ever seen was the 1996 film Pale Saints.

Jean-Luc your abilities amaze me-ities!
In <i>Breathless</i>, Patricia utters pertinent lines of dialogue throughout the film: * I don`t know if I`m unhappy because I`m not free, or if I`m not free because I`m unhappy. * It`s sad to fall asleep. Falling asleep separates. Even if you`re lying together, when you`re asleep you`re alone. * I want to know what`s...
