Thank you, I absolutely will! And no I've never heard of that, I'll add it to the list! 👌

There's a few great comic book shops near where I work in Dublin, so I'm planning on going in this Thursday - hope to pick up something then!

Really interesting, thanks for the guidance! I ask because it's not a genre I know much about tbh but I'd love to find out more.

The only graphic novels I've read are in the superhero genre (the best being, rather predictably, Watchmen) so I'm keen to explore outside of that field!

Frederic Gros:

"When we are walking it isn't so much that we are drawing nearer, more that the things out there become more and more insistent in our body. The landscape is a set of tastes, colours, scents which the body absorbs."

Hey Ingrid!! 😁 Estou bem, obrigada! Está chovendo sem parar na Irlanda há quase 40 dias 😅. Então, estou me sentindo — como todo mundo na ilha — um pouco maluca!!! Kkkk. Como vai você?

😂 I liked the word addition! Like "an addition to your life". Who knows, that could be 2026 word of the year.

I completely agree. I still can't believe it's not better known - whenever people talk about spectacular technical / imaginative feats in cinema, like Kubrick's 2001 or Sokurov's Russian Ark, they should also mention this movie. It's like nothing I've ever seen before.

Oh man, such an incredible film. Absolutely visionary.

Love that quote Anne! I just watched it last night - such a brilliant film, and a great central performance by Hepburn!

Love this painting by Alfonso Ponce de León, Self Portrait (1936). Saw it in Madrid - a funny, intense and disquieting work, foreshadowing political violence and the artist's looming death in civil war Spain.

That is so fucking sad. RIP James.

Se fizesse 35 graus na Irlanda, a qualquer hora do dia, o país inteiro pararia e o governo anunciaria estado de emergência nacional 😂

Such a pressing question. Who hasn't laid awake at night, thinking this exact thought?
