β€˜Tiny broken bodies, rotting babies, flattened corpses, mass graves, levelled neighbourhoods.
It is a spectacle of slaughter. All unfolding in plain sight, livestreamed and posted by Palestinian citizens and journalists, witnessed by outsiders, and described by Israelis themselves.’

neil frequently pauses recollections for long asides ranting about Spotify’s sound quality. This book was written in 2011, the hate runs deep

An average episode of a show like Miami Vice or The X-Files has such robust, expressive camera movement & lighting. This is work that wasn't even going to completely come across on the TVs available at the time. The people who made these shows gave a fuck.

Just emerged from extremely gory comedy horror The Quiet Family to hear a man say to his wife, β€œI thought that was going to be in the style of Ozu.” Am deceased

started reading neil young’s waging heavy peace; every other paragraph ends with β€œI’ll keep you posted” or β€œI’ll get back to you on that” as though he’s written it over Outlook

A middle-aged white man with a mustache and sunglasses sits on a porch reading a newspaper. He has a mild, contented look on his face. Visible on the back page of the newspaper is a recipe for meat loaf. There's a fern out of focus in the extreme right-hand foreground.

This is what I mean when I talk about bits that break through the illusion of the film. Maybe it's just how my brain works. But here we have Richard Baseheart, sitting by a pool in which his daughter and her fiancee are swimming. The filmmakers needed to give him a bit of business to do, so they decided he should be reading a newspaper. Having neither the budget nor any real story-related reason to mock up a lorem-ipsum broadsheet, they grabbed whatever copy of the Los Angeles Times that was within arm's reach. Said portion of the paper has on its back page, visible to the camera, a recipe for meat loaf. There's a headline that reads, "Meat Loaf Out Of The Ordinary." And now that's all I can pay attention to. I want to know about this meat loaf. I want to know what makes it different than other meat loafs. I want to see the full recipe. Maybe I want to try my hand at making it, I dunno. If the back page had had a story about, say, international trade or an advertisement for a local car dealership or a random op-ed, maybe I wouldn't care. But that recipe with that headline and that photograph of a trapezoidal slab of meat? Sorry, I can't pay attention to your movie right now. Tell me about this ground beef!

seems a bit sketch that Curzon is charging customers for its home cinema and there’s just… nothing being added there anymore

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen.

What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

gave Gladiator 2 (2.5hrs) consideration, but thought I’d need to rewatch the first (2.5hrs) after 20 odd years. 5hrs of my fleeting time given freely to Ridley Scott, after all the times he’s burned me? don’t think it’s in the cards lads
