There's a bizarre scene in this film where the characters hide from a passing helicopter. It is set in 1973 but relates to a 'hidden' community who've remained in the embrace of the 1700s. Perhaps a not so subtle methaphor that the more we move forward the less we actually progress? Possibly.

Andy Nymam (Ghost Stories) received a rather sad letter from Stone thinking that his character 'Delbert Grady' would lead to more opportunities or get more recognition which sadly didn't happen.

It isn't long before they realise that each match is part of a ritual summoning based around air, water, earth and fire. Daft fun.
@fesshole.bsky.social Girlfriend much appreciated having a candle-lit dinner at the table with the 'good' cutlery and decent plates and posh nosh for valentine's day. She seems to believe it some sweeping romantic gesture.
Haven't the heart to tell her I've been binge-watching Hannibal on Netflix.
The window display of Enki in King's Heath made me happy today. This world is dragging me down, so little nuggets of joy are much welcome.

Rather than tie the term down to a restrictive set
of schema it allows each author to play as widely
with the concept as possible.
