The fire you have to walk through will be one of the greatest strengths you have.
It’s not magic: if you see it we see it.
KITTY’s Mondrian Fall [thanks to Dino Designs for the brass neck]
1912. Prescience! Finally, a production that understands Hofmannsthal quintessence of comedy/tragedy. Or rather, it can often all seem rather tedious except for the great arias and final duet. Not so in Bruno Ravella’s concise vision. And who could possibly take ‘the mickey’ out of Wagner simultaneously asking sublime?
Ricky: maybe if you’d given the guy in Afterlife opera tickets he’d still be…:)
Where is your Self to be found? Always in the deepest enchantment that you have experienced.
Of course, one knows the story of Richard Strauss. But really? Ever could he have supported Hitler when became clear what he stood for? Irony of his Oboe Concerto. Putin is no parallel to Hitler. He's way more specific and dare it be said non-colonial compared to most. The end-game, though, pray tell? More dead civilians/ soldiers? Alas: that's what it all amounts to. Not people's happiness/productivity. The media criticism of leading musicians Valery Giergiev and Anna Netrebko. Who knows what they believe. Who knows but Putin what family and friends must exist/work/live in Russia and may be persecuted for dissenting voices.
All that said, America always allowed for such dissent and bravery. Well: some States, some decades and certainly Muslims reason to fear. And sure if you're still black still in certain places then you're F**KD. That's where rappers/music and osmosis politics effect change. They try find a way to silence but no avail.
Seems insurmountable but the people will tell and have: it ain't gonna happen no more! How dare you!
Jon Stewart at his ‘quindiabolissensual’ best!

That link went a bit weird. Try this.
Icy Worlds. If only such scientific quest would be applied to humans. Eh! Oh: they are called writers and authors. Why is it everything I write sounds so great in Trump’s voice?! Pè
Yo! Maybe it’s my weave! There’s a song in that. Why should KITTY get all credit and ANDREW none?!
KITTY’s away on ‘boot camp’ for her movie CAT COMMANDO so ANDREW finally has control of ANDREW’s SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIE. And now doesn’t know what to do. What is normal on a shitty night when…t.b.A…
The strangeness and fear are more like Charlie Kaufman’s and John Frankenheimer’s horror in seeing something off, something wrong – giveaway hints of a conspiracy or a higher truth.- Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian review of Kinds of Kindness]. Yorgos' most 'American' film to date, in that for many, most eerie and chillingly relevant- ripples of Ray Bradbury upon the shore. Maybe Margaret Attwood. In all a totally haunting unique vision.
KITTY totally pissed at ANDREW for not reminding her of the ‘boot camp’ claws in her contract. As prep listening to the audio book ….
That's very, very funny Hugh Grant. Timing before an election is everything. If not anything! Had a very interesting conversation about with casting directing..was always in Paris before they drilled tunnels of....no not that love actually...Don’t want to freak either of us at Nov 32.
Seems like yesterday..had we but world enough and time...
