The Silent Star (Kurt Maetzig, 1960). Cheesy, but extremely solid and intelligent space adventure with a multinational cast. Really wild finale with some Mario Bava-esque sets and special effects. Based on a story by Stanislaw Lem!! A fave when it comes to socialist sci-fi :D #filmskya #moviesky

A still from O Brother, Where Art Thou?

I Watched: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) The Coen Brothers direct a combo of pastiche on several other classic films and a transposition of The Odyssey to Depression-era Mississippi. George Clooney is doing the Most Acting you will ever see him do. Kind of the best, honestly. #Filmsky ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

Greg Jardin's thrilling, fun and funny body swap thriller It's What's Inside doesn't do as good of a job incisively interrogating the implications of its sharp premise as I expected but has a such a blast playing with the human consequences I preferred what I got to what I was expecting.

I'm currently mapping the energy flow around my face and head. The vertical bands actually go down to the base of my spine. The red band is a current of energy that is represented by a halo in paintings of Christian saints. This all part of my work in Experiences With the Energy Body.

Hot Milk: A Foreign Film That Redefines Intimacy

Hot Milk: A Foreign Film That Redefines Intimacy

Hot Milk is the kind of film that lingers long after it endsโ€”haunting, poetic, and deeply resonant, like a memory that defies full explanation.

New insights into the origin of ice: chronological implication from 14 permanently shadowed craters on Mercury The polar regions of Mercury are characterised by areas known as permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), which provide stable thermal conditions for wateโ€ฆ

Permanently shadowed craters on Mercury: amazing results!

โ€ข Older polar craters host more ice, suggesting steady-state processes drive long-term accumulation.
โ€ข Younger radar-bright craters imply recent resurfacing
โ€ข Two young, ice-rich craters suggest episodic delivery from comets or asteroids. ๐Ÿงช

Sinners is still my #1 movie of the year, but it's now tied with #TheLifeOfChuck, Mike Flanagan's incredible adaptation of Stephen King's short story of the same name! A coming of age movie for adults that contains multitudes, see it as soon as you can!

"The empty pool, reflecting the blue sky, is the metaphor of the disciplinary power that organises the body"

Fabio Rocha dissects a dirty Brazilian classic, with Michel Foucault and Achille Mbembe to hand:
