And that it’s a Polish movie directed by a German.
Who has no arms.
And who changed his name.
I have run the names of all the actresses in the credits.
And none of them are an obvious match for the star of this film.
The star is not Christina Ormani.
It’s the other girl.
The one that gets cheated on.
The jilted lover.
She gets cheated on, so she cheats back.
And in cheating, she finds love.
True love.
This masterpiece short film (feature?) was credited to Niko Brücher.
It was his first film.
You may know him (but probably not) as Niko von Glasow.
It makes sense that this is a masterpiece.
Because Von Glasow trained with Fassbinder.
The actor-auteur of Kamikaze 1989.
I could be wrong, but I think Rainer Werner Fassbinder was a better actor than he was a director.
And let me be unequivocal: he was a GREAT actor.
On par with Bogart.
Really.
Back to Von Glasow.
He studied film at NYU.
And in Poland.
From the latter is drawn the cast of this film.
They are, it seems, Polish student actors.
Some went on to stable careers.
Others didn’t.
The star.
Who is she?
What is her name?
Which one of these inscrutable Polish names represents her?
I can’t be a fanboy if I don’t have a name.
My suspicion is that this is just about the only film she made.
But I don’t even know what to call her.
These are OBSCURE actors in this film (with a couple of exceptions).
Von Glasow has no arms because of Thalidomide.
Born this way.
But none of this adulation for this mystery actress would matter had Von Glasow not made this masterpiece where there are no spoken words for the first nine minutes of the film.
Indeed, over the course of its 38 minutes, there is no FUNCTIONAL dialogue whatsoever.
There is some whispering.
Some chattering.
But there are no subtitles.
And there need not be.
For this is essentially a silent film with sound.
Not to be confused with a silent film with musical accompaniment.
There’s music here, alright.
A strange, mournful (and rather clownish) marimba scores much of this film.
Just little melodies.
No crazy four-part harmonies or anything.
Very minimal.
Marimba (!)
What a choice!!
It makes for an ODD amalgam.
To reiterate, this film is powered strictly by VISUAL SYMBOLISM.
The actors’ movements and the camera’s light-sucking registration make up the entirety of this visual poem.
I must give credit to the cinematographer.
Although she is credited with merely “Kamera”, it is Jolanta Dylewska.
Between Von Glasow and herself, this is one of the most beautifully-shot black and white films I have ever seen.
It is on par with the two early Godard masterpieces À Bout de souffle and Vivre sa vie in this regard.
As well as being reminiscent in tone and mood to Antonioni’s breathtaking L’Avventura.
And our mystery actress (Anna Dabrowska?) is the equivalent of Monica Vitti.
We are talking about the same level of beauty.
And we are talking about having that beauty captured on film in such a singular way.
There is not a more propagandistic website on Earth than Drudge Report.
Do you know what propaganda looks like?
“Putin doesn’t want his people to see images of the war.”
“Russian Air Force incapable of complex military operations (invasion failing).”
“Zelensky is the reincarnation of Rasputin.”
“Russian soldiers raping Ukrainian women.”
“Russia [who secured both Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhia] are nuclear ‘terrorists'”. [For securing the facilities. All while the facilities are undamaged and not showing a rise in radiation leakage.]
“Russia is planning public executions.”
Might as well throw in some chestnut like “Russia shish-kebabbing Ukrainian infants on bayonets”.
Do you see where this is going?
“Two more top Russian commanders kiled.”
DO YOU BELIEVE ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT???
The same media that lied to you for two years about COVID and masks and vaccines and lab leaks now wants you to TRUST THEM and #StandWithUkraine .
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK THAT!
What are the possibilities that Putin is beholden to Klaus Schwab?
I’d say 1%.
What is the possibility that Putin is doing the right thing.
I’d say 99%.
But the only problem is this: it completely overshadows the exceedingly-successful “freedom convoys” of truckers and also makes it impossible for any news about COVID duplicity to make it on any mainstream news.
So the timing is, one may see, unfortunate.
The whole COVID narrative was rapidly collapsing.
The virus was burning out with Omicron.
Serious, serious questions about impropriety from Moderna and Pfizer were arising.
And they CONTINUE to arise.
But you won’t hear about them.
The Ukraine war is like a giant school shooting.
This will be THE ONLY STORY in the news for months.
Perhaps years.
There are two reasons that people do things.
The “good” reason and the real reason.
Why did Putin invade Ukraine?
Because Zelensky announced 11 months ago that his intention was to retake Crimea by force.
And why else did Putin invade?
Because Zelensky announced seven months ago that Ukraine’s desire and intention was to join NATO.
Any other possible reasons?
Zbigniew Brzezinski called Ukraine the “bread basket” of the former Soviet Union.
What is the only thing which could rival oil right now in terms of astronomical inflation and actual scarcity?
Food.
Wheat.
Food security.
Putin may be securing this bread basket for Russia.
Kat Dennings doesn’t even bother with films anymore.
And Thora Birch is too much of a liberal moron.
But then all actors are liberal morons, aren’t they?
Except for a precious few.
Jon Voight.
James Woods.
Rob Schneider.
Kirstie Alley.
Robert Davi.
Jim Caviezel.
Secondly.
This film is a masterpiece.
Edgar Wright is the best filmmaker in the world right now.
Is he better than Jean-Luc Godard?
No.
But Godard is not making films for mass consumption.
Is he better than Wes Anderson?
BY A MILLION FUCKING MILES!!!
Don’t get me wrong.
Wes Anderson made one perfect film.
And that film was The Grand Budapest Hotel.
And that film wouldn’t have been perfect without Saoirse Ronan.
That’s how important her presence in that film was.
Saoirse has made another perfect film.
Hanna.
But her others are mediocre.
Brooklyn.
Meh.
Lady Bird.
Even more meh (not a good thing).
Saoirse has gone astray.
Just as Thora Birch went astray.
Ghost World is a perfect film.
And American Beauty is close to perfect.
For my money, Homeless to Harvard is her other perfect film.
Kat Dennings films kinda suck.
Her masterpiece is actually 2 Broke Girls.
I’m serious.
But that’s not cinema.
Twin Peaks is cinema.
Even though it’s a TV show.
Histoire(s) du cinéma is the best film ever made.
And it was made for TV.
Homeless to Harvard is a Lifetime movie.
Made for TV.
It is not cinema.
Not exactly.
But it may be a perfect film.
Wes Anderson made his perfect film with Saoirse Ronan.
And he made a good film (Tenenbaums).
The rest are shite.
I did not understand Edgar Wright’s film language when I first saw Shaun of the Dead.
I thought it was crap.
How wrong I was!
Here is my contention.
Every Edgar Wright film is perfect.
Shaun of the Dead?
Yes.
Hot Fuzz?
Yes.
The World’s End?
Yes.
Baby Driver?
Yes.
Scott Pilgrim?
Yes.
And this film is perfect too.
But this is not quite the Wright you are used to.
This is a genuinely scary film.
But it stands up with Psycho,Rosemary’s Baby, and The Shining as one of the four best horror films ever made.
Edgar Wright films are all about detail.
But not the twee obsession with detail that Wes Anderson has.
Edgar Wright is overflowing with talent.
Wes Anderson is not.
Anderson needed Saoirse Ronan to make his perfect film.
And there was a bit (just a bit!) of grit in Grand Budapest.
Saoirse is missing from his other films.
And there is no real grit in any of the others.
Tenenbaums is good.
But the Wes Anderson players are tiresome.
Is Bill Murray amazing?
Yes.
But are his performances in Wes Anderson films his best work?
Absolutely not.
No more Jason Schwatzman (for fuck’s sake!).
Is Luke Wilson a great actor?
Yes.
What’s his best film?
Masked and Anonymous.
Maybe it’s Paltrow and Hackman which make Tenenbaums good.
For my money, Luke Wilson is the one who makes that film go.
But it is not on the same level as Grand Budapest.
Last Night in Soho is the Grand Budapest of the ’20s.
We’re in the ’20s now.
Are they roaring?
Like a fucking mouse.
Last Night in Soho is a gazillion times better than No Time to Die.
This film has everything the Bond film didn’t.
Substance.
Competent directing.
A story worth sticking with.
And so it is fitting that Diana Rigg’s last role should absolutely trump the death of James Bond.
The one George Lazenby film was WAY better than No Time to Die.
The death of love is more sad than the death of the hero.
Diana Rigg is the linchpin in the Bond franchise.
Pull that thread, and the sweater unravels.
Léa Seydoux is boring as fuck in the Bond films.
She was great in Blue.
But she was nothing compared to the one who carried that film (Adele Exarchopoulos).
Exarchopoulos made one perfect film.
Blue is the Warmest Color.
None of her other films are even good.
Wright makes what Youth in Revolt might have been.
He is not glib.
This is not a hipster film.
Michael Cera (who has made one perfect film [Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist]) is, mercifully, NOT in Last Night in Soho.
[correction…Kat Dennings DID make one perfect film]
Thomasin McKenzie’s obsession with ’60s London music is real.
It’s not a fucking Austin Powers joke.
Rita Tushingham is wonderful as Gram.
Excellent casting.
[take note, Bond franchise]
Thomasin hooks up with a black dude.
No big deal.
Take note, Bond franchise.
NOT EVERY FUCKING PERSON HAS TO BE BLACK IN ORDER FOR A FILM TO BE VIABLE!!!
Thomasin’s love interest is a black fellow.
I have no problem with that.
He does a good job.
For fuck’s sake…he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page!
Michael Ajao.
Fine acting!
There can be important black characters WITHOUT A FILM BEING A WOKE FUCKING JOKE (like the recent Bond film).
No big deal.
Don’t make it a big deal.
It has to fit with the story.
The story is the most important thing.
The writers of the Bond film (Purvis and Wade) have allowed their name to be attached to the fucking pathetic shit of No Time to Die.
So you get a kiwi to speak in a Cornish accent.
GREAT ACTRESS!
Thomasin McKenzie.
Say that name with me.
Jacinda Ardern’s father (or mother?) was a horse.
Ugly bitch.
Ugly soul.
Thomasin McKenzie is the best thing to ever come out of New Zealand.
However, there has been one perfect kiwi movie: Eagle vs Shark.
Synnøve Karlsen is so fucking annoying in Soho.
And she was supposed to be.
So, good job (I guess).
Every film needs a villain.
And Jocasta (Karlsen’s character) is the real villain of this film.
Thomasin is different.
Jocasta beats her down.
Mentally.
A stingy spirit.
Can never share in any of her joys.
Do you know anyone like that?
But Thomasin is troubled.
Hallucinations?
Maybe.
Seeing ghosts?
Maybe.
We’re trying to solve a case here.
Cold case.
Maybe a lot of cold cases.
Maybe a serial killer.
To the Belle and Sebastian bedsit.
Salad days are short-lived.
Don’t underestimate Sandie Shaw.
Always something there to remind me.
1964.
Puppet on a string.
Gotta pay your dues.
As a wind-up bird girl.
Brian Epstein.
Giorgio Gomelsky.
Andrew Loog Oldham.
ABKCO.
The influence of Vertigo upon Last Night in Soho cannot be understated.
The red of the Café de Paris.
The blonde of Anya Taylor-Joy’s hair.
And Thomasin’s hair.
[also, don’t underestimate Bergman’s Persona]
The glance to the side.
It’s not Jimmy Stewart.
It’s Thomasin.
Allusions to The Way of the Dragon and The Lady from Shanghai in the mirrors.
Sure, a bit of Pulp Fiction.
But that’s just for the kids.
Edgar Wright’s grasp of cinema history is way deeper than some Tarantino bullshit.
And yet, he likes zombies.
And shitty horror films from the ’80s.
I mean REALLY shitty, camp ones.
Slasher films.
Back to Vertigo.
Kim Novak’s apartment is bathed in green neon.
But Thomasin’s bedsit is a red, white, and blue homage to Godard.
An homage to Une Femme est une femme.
Dancing.
Dancing girls.
Prostitutes.
Vivre sa vie.
Pink dress fembot.
Pew pew.
Thomasin is way sexier than Anya Taylor-Joy.
Thomasin is the girl next door.
The frumpy hair of Homeless to Harvard.
I love it.
It must be this way.
To juxtapose the transition to Swinging Sixties glamour.
Is Trump just culture jamming with his vaccine tack?
Either that, or the hero has become the villain.
Did the D.C. swamp make Trump into a swamp zombie?
Maybe no one comes out clean.
International law was broken.
War crimes.
All these Wright films have zombies.
Or robots.
Faceless automatons.
A bit of Dragon Tattoo.
We all like a good microfiche scene!
Is Terence Stamp her father?
If Sandie is her mother?
Could be.
Otherwise, she would be the daughter of a prick.
But Stamp tried to save Sandie.
Arsenic and old lace.
The ones you never suspect.
Sicario.
“Buried” in the walls.
Decomposing.
Poe.
Gacy.
Wright’s “sympathy for the serial killer”.
What happened to these people that made them monsters?
Don’t underestimate Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451 (his only English-language film…and a flat-out masterpiece).
In the world of Edgar Wright, it is records.
Vinyl.
Not books.
And sometimes the elderly want to die with their memories.
They are not going anywhere.
They are not fleeing.
It’s been a good life.
Going down with the ship.
Up in flames.
The shitbags want their deaths avenged.
After all, they were just horny, well-to-do dads who needed a little excitement.
Prostitution.
It’s the law, after all.
Murder is murder.
Crimes of passion.
By reason of insanity.
Not guilty.
Not insane.
But traumatized.
But Thomasin has been on the adventure.
She knows what Sandie has been through.
Trump was abused for four years.
That is true.
And he fought like a champ.
Is there no justice?
Is it culture jamming (I ask again)?
Confusion.
Keeping his enemies off balance.
Getting a foot in the door.
Truth Social will censor “hate speech” with a Silicon Valley AI bot.
In order to get on Apple App Store and Google Play.
But the roll out is delayed?
Lie about the vaccines.
“Safe and effective”.
Move in for the kill shot.
Against whom?
Big Pharma and the New World Order.
But we have to call out serial killers for who they are.
If you are saying the COVID vaccines are “safe and effective”, you are spreading misinformation that is endangering the lives of those who hear and trust you.
I had thought the 5G thing was probably a red herring.
Guess not.
Q group was behind the “Snow White” leak from the Jes Staley case.
It serves a dual purpose.
To put bad actors on notice.
To make them nervous.
They know what it means.
We MIGHT know what it means.
But also to encourage anons and autists.
If you have been living under a rock of fake news, you might not know that the CEO of Barclays bank (UK), Jes Staley, has resigned after it was discovered that he had lied about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The two exchanged at least 1000 emails.
And the phrase “Snow White” was supposedly passed back and forth between the two (apparently without a common-sense context).
Any public figure (like AIDS activist Peter Staley) who leaves their Twitter profile set to public (as opposed to private) is inviting snoopers.
Why?
Because enquiring minds want to know.
You can tell a lot about a person from their Twitter profile.
You can tell the ORDER in which they followed people.
Go back.
You can see who they have been following the longest.
And, conversely, who they have been following for the least amount of time.
You can also find interesting groupings.
Various people or organizations whom they followed in relatively quick succession.
Here’s the thing about Peter Staley.
He is Twitter “friends” with Ali Fauci.
Ali Fauci is the daughter of Anthony Fauci.
Ali Fauci has her profile set to private.
This indicates that Peter Staley and Ali Fauci may indeed know each other in real life.
As Anthony Fauci does not have a Twitter profile (as far as I know), this is the closest thing to Anthony Fauci making a trusted online connection with Peter Staley.
But Peter Staley’s interest in “medicine” does not end there.
[BTW…Ali Fauci is a software engineer for Twitter. Is she in charge of censorship? Or is that strictly the purview of Vijaya Gadde?]
Peter Staley also follows Peter Daszak.
Now that is a bit weird.
Daszak is the head of the EcoHealth Alliance.
EcoHealth sent National Institutes of Health (U.S. taxpayer) money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology where gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses was performed.
[to be fair, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (housed at Fort Belvoir) is STILL sending U.S. taxpayer money to the EcoHealth Alliance to study bat diseases in “western Asia”. How much you wanna bet that money’s going to WIV? And how did INSCOM not know about this??? https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_HDTRA11710064_9761 ]
In private emails, Peter Daszak THANKED Anthony Fauci for dismissing the WIV lab leak theory.
That’s strange.
Because as we all now know, that theory is probably the most plausible.
Although China will not admit it.
Back to Peter Staley.
Sometimes you can’t tell the people.
You must show them.
OSINT is a beautiful thing.
Following the CEO of Moderna, eh?
Do you see how these data points are piling up?
Epstein’s friend’s brother is REALLY interested in the minutiae of this pandemic and the big pharma aspects of it.
Why?
[BTW…there is a good chance that Bancel is one of the ones who actually released the virus. Why? Because Moderna came up with their vaccine in 48 hours. https://www.infowars.com/posts/damn-you-to-hell-you-will-not-destroy-america-read-the-spartacus-covid-letter-thats-gone-viral/ The same suspicion falls on NIAID’s Anthony Fauci. And Event 201’s Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, and (now promoted by Biden to head the entire American intelligence community [ODNI]) Avril Haines (a John Brennan promotee within the CIA whose promotion was out of the ordinary [i.e. she did not, in any apparent way, even earn THAT position…didn’t work her way up to it within the ranks. Odd]]
Peter Staley (who is HIV-positive) LOVES him some good old fashioned gay sex.
Apparently.
And he also, around the time he was feeling horny (?), decided to follow one of the prime suspects for having unleashed COVID-19 on the world: the aforementioned Peter Daszak (who, as you can see, has me blocked).
Was it something I said???
Peter Staley also follows Deborah Birx.
Remember her?
The scarf lady.
Fauci’s right-hand woman (for many absurd press conferences).
You will also notice that Birx’s profile is set to private.
Which means at least two things are possible.
Peter Staley followed Birx before her profile was set to private.
OR
Peter Staley ALSO knows Deborah Birx personally.
The second possibility is supported by the fact that Peter Staley follows Ali Fauci.
It is highly likely that Ali Fauci and Deborah Birx both had to give express permission to ALLOW Peter Staley to follow them.
Why would they do that?
Maybe because they know Peter Staley in real life?
Let’s pause for a moment.
Ask yourself.
Why does a guy, whose brother was emailing “Snow White” in over 1000 emails to Jeffrey Epstein, personally know two of the main players in the COVID-19 saga: Fauci’s daughter (a proxy for Anthony Fauci) and Deborah Birx (also, in a way, a proxy for Anthony Fauci)?
Now.
REMEMBER that Fauci was involved in AIDS research.
But Fauci is not necessarily highly-thought-of in this context.
Did Fauci run a program where experimental vaccines in the ’80s were given to gay men?
Did the AIDS pandemic break out RIGHT AFTER THAT??
What was in the vaccines???
This isn’t Anthony Fauci’s first rodeo.
He has tortured dogs.
Fact.
Now he wants to give your kids vaccines (when the vaccines have been shown to be dangerous [particularly to young people]) even though kids do not get sick and die from COVID.
Fact.
It is very rare for a child to succumb to COVID-19.
On the other hand, there are almost 10,000 (9,549) reports of death associated with the administration of the three COVID vaccines in the USA so far:
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Peter Staley votes Democrat.
Lincoln Project is all but a front operation for jackasses like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger.
And they have problems with pedophilia.
As in, certain among the Lincoln Project are apparently pedophiles.
How many?
One?
More?
I will let you do the digging on that.
But let’s pause again.
Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Jes Staley (until a few days ago, head of one of the biggest banks on earth) were apparently emailing the coded phrase “Snow White” back and forth.
And Staley’s brother Peter appears to support the pedophiles over at the Lincoln Project.
Hmmm…
Also in the last shot, we see that Peter Staley felt it necessary to follow Francis Collins from the NIH.
Collins is also suspect for his behavior during this pandemic.
Peter Staley also appears to be a fan of both Greta Thunberg and CDC Director (and serial liar) Rochelle Walensky.
Thunberg is also a serial liar (or, in this case, more like an actor [from the same central casting that gave us Malala]), but that’s another story for another time.
Here’s a real classic.
Nothing says “I was so careful I can’t believe I got AIDS” like following Jack “Cum Machine” Mackenroth.
But, again, there is a very real possibility that the AIDS pandemic was caused by Fauci and the vaccines he pushed just prior to the first big AIDS outbreak in the United States.
Indeed, you might call that Fauci’s practice run.
No one cares about the homos, right?
So just test an experimental vaccine on them.
Watch them die from some new, exotic disease right after that.
I think you are going to see the current crop of time-delayed bioweapons (made by Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca) start causing mass death within the next two months.
And it will be called “COVID”.
A new wave.
The “fifth wave”.
[if that doesn’t do the trick, Bill Gates (who just outlined this scenario https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/bill-gates-smallpox-terror-attack-b1951245.html ) and company will likely release smallpox. What Gates was referring to was war-gamed back in 2001 under the title Dark Winter. It was executed by the same people (Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security) who gave the world Event 201 RIGHT BEFORE THE CURRENT PANDEMIC. How many times have you heard Joe Biden strangely utter the phrase “dark winter”??? Here’s why. Check out the CIA presence (Woolsey) which would be replicated by Avril Haines in 2019 for Event 201: https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/events-archive/2001_dark-winter/ ]
And in the process, the Northern Hemisphere (particularly the USA and Europe) will then be subjected to the same tyranny to which Australia has just recently been subjected.
Australia was the test run.
How much will people put up with?
The absurd “no tolerance” policies of Australia and New Zealand (and, to a certain extent, China) have been a pretext to unleash the most unseemly policing ever to be seen on this planet.
I believe that is coming to the USA.
And Europe.
It is already fairly well advanced in Canada.
And it will come back…even harder.
In the next two months.
Jes Staley might not have a Twitter account, but his brother (and one of his two daughters) do(es).
Meet Alexa Staley.
While Fauci is obviously the Mengele of this whole pandemic, who is gonna oversee the electromagnetic mind control of the Havana Syndrome/vaccine graphene oxide/5G synergy?
You’d think you might need a few physicists, right?
[N.B. Jeffrey Epstein likely had plenty of scientists (Santa Fe Institute) blackmailed. Why was Epstein so interested in underage girls…and science? I believe the science part was to make sure that this plandemic went off without a hitch. No (very few) whistleblowers. The big doctors are compromised. Harvard as an institution is compromised. Larry Summers (Harvard) most certainly rode on Lolita Express. Find his name. It’s in there. How many prominent scientists can you also identify?]
[N.B. Alexa Staley seems to have made her current employer a matter of privacy on her resume. I believe she has done that within the past 24 hours. Why? I can find no archived version of her website. That is a bit odd. Any good researchers wanna find one?]
She lives in San Francisco.
She wouldn’t happen to be friends with Ali Fauci, would she?
Alexa Staley appears to have gone to Colombia, while Ali Fauci went to Stanford.
But they’re both in San Francisco?
Where is Twitter HQ?
Are all their software engineers there?
Thank you for the help, Peter Staley.
Oh, BTW…he was also allowed to follow the personal Twitter account of Elton John’s husband David Furnish.
So that makes a third (Ali Fauci, Deborah Birx, David Furnish) instance where he appears to personally know some very powerful, well-placed people.
Two of those people (Fauci [through her father] and Birx) are intimately connected to this pandemic.
Good.
Our director, Franklin J. Schaffner, was in the predecessor to the CIA: the OSS.
At least the OSS were military.
Schaffner is better known for Patton and Planet of the Apes.
But this film is a masterpiece.
I’m just a Steve Guttenberg.
Police academy.
Fauci is most definitely Mengele.
Fauci Jesuit fascist.
[Bergoglio Jesuit communist…first Jesuit pope in the 500 years of the organization]
Fauci and Bergoglio working closely together.
The Fourth Reich.
Klaus Schwab.
Was his father really a Nazi collaborator like George Soros?
As is well-documented, Soros has admitted to posing as a Christian during the Holocaust and going around with his fake godfather confiscating the property of Jews.
[N.B. There is certainly a possibility that the CIA released COVID-19 at the World Military Games in Wuhan simultaneous to releases in northern Italy and Iran. This would have been the coopted CIA working at the behest of the New World Order (just as they did in carrying out 9/11). If this sounds farfetched, consider the possibility that the CIA has been running North Korea for a long time. If that is true, it would not be impossible to release the virus in Iran. Indeed, it begs the question: is the CIA running Iran too? Where did all those planeloads of cash from the Iran deal go? Barack Obama???]
Nature AND nurture.
Follows exactly the brilliant, anti-CIA, Saoirse Ronan film Hanna.
I thought I was watching a movie by Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
The first I had ever seen.
But I was not.
And I still haven’t seen a Fassbinder movie per se.
This movie was directed by the late- Wolf Gremm.
Gremm might be most well-known for the 1980 film Fabian.
For that movie, Gremm adapted a work of Erich Kästner.
Kästner was always a bridesmaid and never a bride.
Nominated four times for the Nobel in literature, Kästner nevertheless was an important writer in that he used cinematic techniques in his literature.
Think about that for a second.
What might that mean?
Jump cuts, anyone?
‘Tis now that we pay homage to the great Jean-Paul Belmondo.
AND to my favorite drummer ever: Charlie Watts.
Back to Kästner.
The Nazis burned his books.
These book burnings were instigated by (Psaki) Goebbels.
Kästner may not have really been a man of much integrity.
He wrote for UfA in 1942 under the pseudonym Berthold Bürger.
But you may know Kästner most for a Hollywood adaption of one of his children’s books: The Parent Trap.
Made twice.
Which brings us to our film by Wolf Gremm.
It’s true: Gremm and Fassbinder were close friends.
And I was tricked because Fassbinder is the all-consuming star of Gremm’s masterpiece Kamikaze 89 (alternately Kamikaze 1989).
Like a German version of Godard’s Alphaville.
Fassbinder is 100% Lemmy Caution.
But this whole thing needed a premise.
And that story was provide by Swedish author Per Wahlöö.
Before there was Stieg Larsson, there was Per Wahlöö.
Active between 1965 and 1975, and focusing on his character detective Martin Beck (a Stockholm policeman), Wahlöö collaborated with Maj Sjöwall on ten novels featuring Beck.
Like Erich Kästner, Wahlöö and Sjöwall were leftists.
Communists.
Marxists.
Not unusual in Sweden.
You will find the same idealistic naïveté in the biographical details of Steig Larsson.
Gremm’s film did well as Fantasporto in Portugal.
And for good reason.
Because it is a fucking masterpiece!
The soundtrack is even by Tangerine Dream.
Edgar Froese.
Lester Bangs would have been proud.
Bangs died about three months after this film came out.
We see Brigitte Mira.
We see Nicole Heesters.
Someone briefly gets naked.
We might even see Fassbinder’s junk briefly.
I’ve gotta hand it to Xaver Schwarzenberger.
This film is stunning.
It pops!
Like a more punk version of Nicolas Roeg’s work on Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451.
Schwarzenberger was (and is) perhaps the equivalent of Godard’s Raoul Coutard.
So what?
The world, in general, has not heard of Wolf Gremm.
So this film must be discussed in relation to Fassbinder.
Was Fassbinder as good a director as he was an actor?
I don’t know.
Was Fassbinder as good a director as Gremm?
I don’t know.
Did Fassbinder ever make a film as good as the masterpiece Kamikaze 89?
I don’t know.
Something else should be noted.
Fassbinder himself died two months after Kamikaze 89 was released.
Which is to say, a month before Lester Bangs.
Let’s talk about New German Cinema.
I have devoted plenty of time to my favorite (the Nouvelle Vague aka French New Wave).
But I do not recall ever having broached the topic of Neuer Deutscher Film.
I will say this.
I think Werner Herzog may be the most overrated filmmaker of all-time.
Right next to Tarantino.
I hate to fucking admit it, but Tarantino (whom I hate) has WAY more talent than Herzog.
But hey: my favorite director ever is Godard.
We first join Fassbinder about 1974 with Ali: Fear Eats the Soul.
Eight years later, Fassbinder would be dead.
At age 37.
From a cocaine/barbiturate overdose.
I have lived seven years longer than Fassbinder.
Fassbinder crammed his career into his 30s.
Bangs died of an (accidental?) overdose of an analgesic opioid (Darvon), Valium, and cough syrup.
Bangs was 33.
Someone else important died at that age.
Bangs had a great mustache.
Fassbinder had a weird beard.
A nasty, seven-day stubble.
But Fassbinder fucking had style!
1975 saw him come out with Fox and His Friends.
Fassbinder was married for two years.
He then divorced.
I feel that.
Ingrid Caven.
A beautiful lady.
They say.
Hanna Schygulla.
Godard’s Passion.
1982.
There’s a reason I like Fassbinder.
I think.
Because Fassbinder liked Godard.
The Merchant of Four Seasons.
This precedes my earlier introduction.
1971.
The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant.
1972.
Fassbinder was bisexual.
He bought Günther Kauffman, who appears in Kamikaze 89, four Lamborghinis over the period of one year.
“calculatedly provocative”, they called him.
A verbal kamikaze.
I feel that.
The Tenderness of Wolves.
1973.
As actor.
I have focused on films available in the United States.
And from this right into kung fu. Peter Sellers on Bowie’s Low. Trance. But really what we have here is excellent counterpoint. Lunatic Harness. Polyrhythms. Album breaks down soon. Fast. Abruptly. Mental block regarding Wuhan origin. Harmonic outline you would never find in China. Terry Riley. A Rainbow in Curved Air. Eno. Visconti. And the others involved. A beauty that inspired Philip Glass. This is what we have. Low and heroes. Symphonies. Glass. Riley. Minimalism. Album called zenith. Track two already hits “Nadir”. What’s the arc here? Arc-en-ciel? Arkansas? Immediately pensive. Very unnerving. Pop rock track. Into existential oblivion. Abrupt modulation. Uncomfortable. Eccentric. Was there a thought process behind this? Commerce ruins everything. Imperfect masterpieces. The rules of the game. Radiohead. Joseph Arthur? Sparklehorse. The Magnetic Fields. Gay baritone. Sad sack confessional poetry in the world of Berryman’s Dream Songs. Brian Jonestown Massacre. The Verve. Strung out in heaven. J. Spaceman shooting up while praying. Don’t knock it… Drug addiction is real. Mental problems are real. Here we are. 2020 fucked us up. And now we wait for the next shoe to drop. Smashing Pumpkins. “Silver Fuck”? Into Sonny Rollins? Epstein. Gene Ammons. Hard to tell it’s (not) real. Which parts? Yes. No. Fooling the ear with Dave Fridmann. A totally schizophrenic record so far. Here we go! “Belgian Lace, Pale Black Mascara…” This is more like it. Rollerskate Skinny. Martin Rev. Lots of counterpoint here. Fux me up. Disney xylophones. Internal rhyme-sanity. Dylan puking up brilliance. Always Roger Waters with the bass. Always The Wall. Pompeii. Hail to the Thief. Again and again. Trying to break new ground. And it does. Yerself is Steam. Album starts to make sense after five tracks. 1 & 5. This is not bullshit. I don’t know about the jazz. I don’t know about the monotonous instrumentals. Absolutely “Car Wash Hair”. Suzanne Thorpe would be proud. Seems to be talking about tits. A good ride. Drum machine chugging away. Can still have a good groove. Wild Acoustic Chamber Orchestra. W.A.C.O. Woodwinds and glockenspiel. Boces. What the fuck is this shit? O.K. computer. Sounds like some QAnon stuff. I feel Carlos Santana coming on. This is what Assange jams out to. Lots of plays at Fort Meade. Salsa. James Brown. Puerto Rican funk. As AOC goes to jail. Serious national security issues for lyrics. Fictional charges? Tracers everywhere. This theory involves an actual conspiracy. Criminal conspiracy outlined. By players. Event 201. Short circuit. Johnny 5 is alive. Legalistic funk. QAnon wet dream. FISAgate. “Spy Gate”. Somebody send this to Sean Hannity. Obamagate. Where is John Durham? Ryan Dark White knows the truth about Rosenstein. How many coup attempts by the Left? Back to Billy Corgan. Ok, so we have an Alex Jones connection. Early-’90s goodness. Butch Vig. Dream pop. James Iha. Bet this guy knows the real story about the Standard Hotel(s). Great lyrics! Must be some inside jokes here. But HOLY FUCK! He nailed the “Holes” trumpet solo. Deserter’s Songs. God damn it. How did they do this? The liner notes say Pauly Deathwish has also produced all four of these albums. Kind of a Jimmy Page thing going on. Great drum sound. Yo La Tengo. “Mayonnaise”. Siamese Dream. Benjamin Britten reference? Slick! So this guy basically had a music education on par with Jack Nitzsche. And then went for scumbag rockroll like Phil Spector. Gotta respect this weird marriage. This fascination with grunge. Dinge. And the facility to clean it up like a chandelier. Very fucking impressive. No record label. Kinda sounds like no funding. No budget. The Delgados. Hate. The Great Eastern. More Spiritualized telephony. The Wall. Which is to say, Bob Erzin. And as dark as Berlin. Which is to say, Bob Ezrin. Neil Young vibe. Tonight’s the Night. Some dark-ass shit. Nick Kent, where y@t? IV Thieves. Coulda done this. What if Chris “Frenchie” Smith had produced this? This kid like a protege. I hear the moniker (stage name) was bestowed by Frenchie Smith. Strings good. Eastern European orchestra. Must have cost a small fortune. Arcade Fire. French cinema. Romantic-era harmony. But pierced. Sophisticated. Absolutely Floyd. “In The Flesh”. Last track on Harvest. Words between the lines. The promise of the ’60s went to shit in the ’70s. Where’s QAnon? Where’s Nakasone? Where’s CYBERCOM? Keith Alexander on Amazon board. Velvet Underground feeding back. Les Rallizes Denudes. Primal Scream. “Swastika Eyes”. ADAT. DAT machine. Sampling. Stereolab. Back to another standout track. “Chaconne”. Will Smith in the summertime. Some slick shit. Messiaen. Jonny Greenwood. Lyrics world-class. All those sand paintings. Write and destroy. Suicide girls. Thom Yorke’s brain doesn’t have this facility. He’s a great stylist. Definitely an homage. And to Godard. Snow white and psycho. Heavy shit for Laetitia Sadier and Tim Gane to check out. Not far from Faust IV. So sweet. John Paul Jones. Ramble on. Charlotte Gainsbourg. Keren Ann. Last track noisy as fuck. Lo-fi. Tom Waits. Sticks together. Some sad shit. Music from Big Pink. Mournful trombone(s). John Simon. “Bird on a Wire”. They don’t make records like this anymore. David Bowie not dead. Great phrasing. Sinatra. Mark Linkous. It’s a Wonderful Life. Believable bass. Upright citizen. Bayou curious. Noise floor drops out. Some perverse humor here. An “album”. It is. Ten songs. Ten different directions. Some tracks stick together. Like a deck of cards shuffled. Lots of variety. Circus peanuts. The orange ones. Pure sugar. Chewy. Strange texture. Lots of melancholy here. What’s this bloke so sad about? Tell Thurston Moore. You gotta hear this shit. Pauly Deathwish’s 4th album (this summer!). Is this guy trying to set a Guinness record or something? And he already has a 5th one out. Christ!
As Oliver Stone told it, Johnson was integral to the plot against Kennedy.
Here, Johnson is largely a footnote.
Here we enter the politics of history.
The politics of film.
The politics of telling a story.
To decipher, we must know Dalton Trumbo.
Relative to Oliver Stone.
What is most remarkable is that there was a film made which not only rivals the quality and conviction of Stone’s JFK, but perhaps exceeds it.
This is that film.
David Miller, its director, barely has a stub of biography to supplement his rather large filmic oeuvre.
Which is intriguing.
Let’s investigate further.
Miller started out as an editor for an RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum) film directed by a Halliburton.
That was 1933.
By 1937, he was directing.
Miller seems to have strictly directed short films for the next four years.
His first feature-length film of note was Billy the Kid in 1941.
By the next year he was directing John Wayne in Flying Tigers.
The war years were lean.
A short propaganda film here and there.
Seven years elapsed.
But Miller was back in the game by 1949…directing Bing Crosby in Top o’ the Morning.
That same year, Miller directed the Marx Brothers in their final feature film: Love Happy.
Future highlights for Miller included the noir film Sudden Fear in 1952 starring Joan Crawford and Jack Palance.
He directed Ginger Rogers in 1954’s Twist of Fate (aka Beautiful Stranger).
By 1956, he was directing Lana Turner and Roger Moore in Diane.
Joan Crawford teamed up with Miller again in 1957 for The Story of Esther Costello.
By 1960, Miller was teaming up with screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.
They had at their disposal Kirk Douglas.
The film was Lonely Are the Brave.
Miller was making a spy thriller by 1968:
the little-known Hammerhead.
The year I was born, 1976, Miller was making his last film (again with Lana Turner): Bittersweet Love.
His penultimate film, Executive Action, is a masterpiece.
Again teamed with Dalton Trumbo.
There is plenty of bitterness to go around for the conspirators of JFK’s murder.
Which brings us to the current state of American politics.
Who is really in control?
Is it Joe Biden?
I don’t not think that anyone would assume Biden is even controlling his own bowels at this point.
Which is sad.
Because he has only been in office a mere 30-some-odd days.
Is the business world running the U.S. government?
It’s possible, but I don’t think so.
As much as they would like to use Biden as their puppet, I do not think we are completely being ruled by corporations at the moment (though their power is considerable).
What about the Democrat Party?
Is it running America?
Nancy Pelosi seems powerful.
But also inept.
Ineffectual.
Impotent.
She and Biden make the perfect pair.
Slurring and stuttering.
Schumer is just a yutz.
But the Biden/Pelosi combo is one for the ages.
My fellow San Antonian, the late Jacques Barzun, might have something to say here re: decadence.
Decay.
Like rotting teeth.
You can give Biden dental implants.
And Hunter too.
You can give Pelosi dentures.
But Joe and Nancy will continue to be an overwhelming embarrassment.
Which brings up Biden’s “80 million votes”.
And Pelosi’s unpopularity within her own party.
AOC’s star will fade, but for now, Sandy Cortez wields far more political capital than the haggard Pelosi.
And it is not hard to see why.
Cortez is an attractive (albeit moronic), young star of American communism.
She promises everything.
She will (of course) deliver nothing.
But hey: that’s the essence of communism.
Pelosi’s day has come and gone.
And it was a LOOOOOONG day.
Pelosi has overstayed her welcome.
Even in the minds of her fellow socialists.
But this is all just theater.
Because Biden, nor Pelosi, nor AOC are in control.
What about Kamala?
Nope.
I don’t think so.
So we must keep searching.
And here we hit gold.
Either the military, the CIA, or the NSA (which is to say, the military) are now in control of the country.
In the case of the CIA, we must remind some readers that this organization started off with military roots.
The OSS.
And for many years, the CIA overthrew communist governments.
That is, until Barack Obama appointed a communist (John Brennan) to head the Agency.
It is not a matter of debate that Brennan voted for Gus Hall in 1976.
“John Brennan on Thursday recalled being asked a standard question for a top security clearance at his early CIA lie detector test: Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the US?”
At his autopsy, JFK was found to have virtually no adrenal glands whatsoever.
To say this is an advanced stage of Addison’s would be an understatement.
This would have predisposed JFK to:
-anxiety
-depression
-irritability
-poor concentration.
Again, not the traits you want in a President.
And not the sort of thing a Presidential candidate and his brother (Attorney General) should have lied about.
But they did.
None of which is to say that Kennedy deserved to die like a dog.
He didn’t.
But we now come into a realm of questioning and philosophy which involves the existential survival of America.
For the first time in my life, I today regarded Lyman L. Lemnitzer as a potentially-reasonable person.
He of Operation Northwoods infamy.
Why?
Because of the care taken in that document with regard to contrived obituaries, etc.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, under Kennedy, did indeed present the option of (plot) terror attacks on the American people.
Some of the attacks (options) would have been real.
That is the Lemnitzer I have always detested.
But some of the attacks (options) would have been simulated.
In other words, these men of war would have taken great care in concocting fake deaths…TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
From what?
From Soviet nuclear weapons in Cuba.
So I ask you today: is it possible that this same panel (the JCS) is now in control of the USA?
What about Lloyd Austin?
Are the JCS really reporting to him?
Maybe so.
Maybe not.
And what of the CIA?
Why was Mike Pompeo (West Point) put in charge of the CIA before becoming Secretary of State?
Why did Trump go to CIA headquarters so early in his Presidency?
Was it not reminiscent of his visits to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Vatican (respectively)?
If one was to really “drain the swamp”, where would this swamp-drainer start?
And if the CIA can infiltrate the Pentagon (the veracity of which, just prior to 9/11, Dr. Pieczenik has attested to), then can the Pentagon not (silently) reclaim the CIA?
What changes did Pompeo make while he was there?
Is it possible that the CIA is currently in control of the U.S. government?
And that the CIA has been gutted by Trump and Pompeo?
Is it possible that the U.S. military is operating out of Langley (in a script-flip of Langley infiltrating the Pentagon)?
Which then brings us to the NSA and CYBERCOM (which are, for the time being, virtually the same thing).
If any agency could run the country, it would be the NSA.
Why?
Because they would be able to undo corruption.
Piece by piece.
They would know which blackmailed leaders to remove (legally…over time…even if by martial law).
And they would know how to LEVERAGE information for command and control purposes.
For instance.
If Mark Milley (CJCS) was being a cunt (not that he ever would be), the NSA could neutralize him with information.
Perhaps Milley has some unsavory secrets he doesn’t want coming out.
The NSA would have that.
Which is to say, Paul Nakasone could literally be running the entire country all by himself at this point.
Perhaps with help from Keith Alexander.
And Jerry Boykin.
No need for kinetic warfare if the #InvisibleCoup / #SecretCoup / #SilentCoup is run with devastating efficiency and efficacy by Fort Meade.
But just in case, SOCOM/USSOCOM are ready to knock on some doors (if needed).
Joe Biden is being allowed to pretend he is President.
That is my theory.
I very much owe my realization to the writing of Martin Geddes.
What we are seeing is the United States being given a free sample of Chinese communism.
The military is running the country.
We can attack Iran.
And Biden will be blamed.
The military can mess up.
And Biden will be blamed.
And Biden will run the country into the ground on his own.
Yet the military will act as training wheels for this bicycle.
This is where SOCOM/USSOCOM comes in.
This is where Fort Bragg reigns supreme.
PSYOPS.
The American populace must be woken up.
It cannot be done all at once.
The American populace must experience first-hand the failure of socialism.
Which is why Donald Trump’s second term features Joe Biden as President.
There were traitorous elements within our military.
I can only now hope that those elements have left.
But, again: the NSA/CYBERCOM would have all the goods needed to remove corruption from even the top ranks of the military.
All other unified combatant commands would need to rely on kinetic means.
Which brings up a possible coconspirator in preserving and defending the Constitution:
INSCOM.
As we have said, SOCOM would be a muscle held in reserve.
A further buttress may be SPACECOM.
Indeed, it is possible that STRATCOM is not a part of this “invisible coup”.
STRATCOM’s capabilities may be constrained by those of SPACECOM.
Nevertheless, CYBERCOM (again) can control all other human elements.
It would be a sort of blackmail to save America.
If globalists can have a Great Reset, what’s to say the U.S. military couldn’t manufacture a national reset?
I would bet on the U.S. military before I would bet on the World Economic Forum.
And I also bet that the U.S. military now knows that the WEF have committed an act of war in inflicting COVID-19 upon the United States.
WEF, acting as a sort of nationstate, would fall under the category of terrorist organization (biological terror).
Bill Gates has given aid and comfort to this enemy.
Anthony Fauci has given aid and comfort to this enemy.
And all three have worked in concert with a foreign adversary to wreck the economy and morale of the United States.
That foreign adversary is China.
To win this war, it was necessary for Joe Biden to playact.
Except he doesn’t know he’s playacting.
Nor does Nancy Pelosi.
The U.S. military will act at its own pace.
The number one imperative is the good of the country.
Biden cheated and got caught.
The best path forward was to continue to find and weed out corruption.
The U.S. does not want a world war.
China will be dealt with in due time.
But first, the American house must be cleaned.
It is back to a one-room schoolhouse.
We are in session.
The class is political economy.
Joe Biden is teaching us.
What not to do.
The country is experiencing his leadership.
Right after having experienced the free market policies of a truly competent President:
Donald Trump.
The spell must be broken.
The mass media must be exposed.
They lied about Trump for four years.
They lie about everything.
Now they have what they wanted.
Trump’s great defeat.
And a senile incompetent in power.
But they have no plan to help people.
They merely wanted power for the sake of power.
Now that they have it, they don’t know what to do with it.
There is no tit to suck.
This is a crucible for policy.
Free markets work.
Watch the price of eggs.
Socialism/communism does not work.
And to the extent that it does work, it relies on authoritarianism to FORCE people to sacrifice for the greater good.
That is not what America is about.
America is about freedom.
Our dalliance with communism is about to be short-lived.
The U.S. military will dismantle propaganda.
Each domino will fall.
Andrew Cuomo.
Gavin Newsom.
This is a controlled demolition of a condemned building.
The corruption must come down.
But it must come STRAIGHT down.
So as to not harm the people to an undue extent.
Communism lies.
For the greater good.
Capitalism advertises.
It is a subtle differentiation.
Laissez-faire.
Capitalism will win.
Goods must flow freely.
And you know what else must flow freely?
Ideas, motherfucker!
Dalton Trumbo was a communist propagandist.
A good story teller.
But a liar in some key details.
In reality, those who want depopulation (Bill Gates) are communists.
Bill Gates has hitched his wagon to Chinese communism.
America must go a different course.
Freedom.
Liberty.
You CAN take the vaccine (if you want to).
Listen to Donald Trump.
Therapeutics are better.
But he gave you your damn vaccine.
In record time.
Take at your own risk.
It’s experimental.
Trumbo was one of the Hollywood Ten.
Perhaps soon we will be able to list the Pedowood Ten (as Los Angeles has devolved in depravity).
History forgets some of these former (Hollywood Ten) communists.
But some we remember.
Dmytryk.
Ring Lardner Jr.
And Trumbo.
Ayn Rand was an anticommunist.
Good for her.
Not one of the Ten.
Other significant Hollywood personages blacklisted:
-Lillian Hellman
-Paul Robeson
-Richard Wright
Look them up. This wasn’t racial.
Wright was literally a member of the American Communist Party.
Further communist elements:
-Leonard Bernstein
-Aaron Copland
-Dashiell Hammett
-Lena Horne
-Langston Hughes
-Burl Ives
-Alan Lomax
-Joseph Losey
-Burgess Meredith
-Arthur Miller
-Zero Mostel
-Dorothy Parker
-Edward G. Robinson
-Pete Seeger
-Artie Shaw
-Orson Welles
And more communist elements:
-Richard Attenborough
-Harry Belafonte
-Luis Buñuel
-Charlie Chaplin
-Jules Dassin
The lesson?
Being a communist when America is at war (Cold War) with a communist nation is not a good idea.
And guess what?
America is again at war with a communist nation (this time it’s China).
Getting out of stupid wars is a good idea.
Afghanistan and Iraq were/are stupid wars.
Trump did his best to remove troops.
There is no longer any urgent need to have troops in Europe as part of NATO.
The Soviet Union no longer exists.
Russia does not present the same threat to the United States as does China.
Which is to also say: Vietnam was not a stupid war.
It was botched.
It was handled in a daft manner.
The draft gave birth to resentment.
But the threat was real.
And the war had merit.
Whether it retained that merit throughout is a matter of discussion.
Which is to say, JFK was not perfect.
He was made a martyr.
Which tends to overshadow aspects of his makeup which disqualified him for the Presidency (such as Addison’s disease…and lying about having Addison’s disease).
Biden and Pelosi are not focused on the believability of their “victory” and “power”.
By the time they realize what is going in, it will be too late for them.
The CDC declared war on the psyches of Americans when it started counting probable cases of coronavirus and probable deaths resulting from COVID as ACTUAL cases and ACTUAL deaths attributable to COVID-19.
CNN declared war on Donald Trump and waged this war for four-straight years by way of merciless propaganda.
In 1980, an anonymous group erected a mysterious stone structure in the United States which prioritized their stated desires starting thusly: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
[the world’s population at the time was 4.43 billion (meaning that this anonymous group thought there were about 4 billion excess humans on the planet)]
In 1910, seven men met in utmost secrecy just off the coast of the United States on Jekyll Island to plan what would become the Federal Reserve System.
Georgia.
Jayne Mansfield was, in all likelihood, a Satanist.
She died when the car in which she was traveling crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer just east of New Orleans.
Did Hitler have tinnitus?
20 July plot.
Operation Valkyrie.
1944.
Could we call those Nazis heroes?
They tried to assassinate Hitler with plastic explosives.
It failed.
But they fucked up his ears.
Kevin Spacey embodies evil in this film (and some might say, in real life).
I avoided watching this film for a long time…strictly because Spacey was in it.
It is well known that he took a trip to Africa aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express”.
Sexual assault charges have been filed against Spacey by multiple people.
And multiple accusers have subsequently died.
If there is such a thing as the New World Order (some might just call it the Bilderberg Meetings), then Kevin Spacey might well be the most thoroughly-connected Hollywood actor.
It’s just a hunch.
But one thing is certain: Kevin Spacey possesses an amazing thespian talent.
Which brings us to another point.
Do we have to approve of the lifestyles of artists?
Not necessarily so.
I love Pablo Picasso’s work.
I don’t judge his work based on the details of his life.
So I am somewhat remiss to say: Kevin Spacey is brilliant in this film.
And if he be evil in real life, then he had no problem channeling that force for this role.
For he is, undoubtedly, the villain.
And yet, he is human.
There is shading.
Like a Dostoyevsky character.
No one is completely good.
And no one is completely bad.
Which brings us back to war.
We must respect our enemies.
If they indeed demand our respect.
If the Central Intelligence Agency was to have a primary asset in Hollywood, that asset might very well be Kevin Spacey.
Again, just a hunch.
And so we can appreciate brilliance.
Brilliance in conception.
Brilliance in execution.
There are many battlefields.
Many geometric planes on which to do battle.
Kevin Spacey is an infinitely-talented actor.
It is almost scary how deft he truly is.
This movie may have saved my romantic relationship.
My engagement.
On again after four hellish days of arguments.
Because music saves us.
And we make music.
There is a connection which no one can get at.
Our DNA is musical.
Thinking back to Jayne’s measurements.
And songs I’ve written.
A timely shock of hair.
A jawline.
A purity.
Thank you for your service.
Few industries are as sick and corrupt as the acting and music industries.
I know the latter firsthand.
There’s no such thing as a former KGB man.
When life was carefree in Austin, Texas.
Before Antifa ruined it.
Anything was possible.
Everything.
Summer nights.
Potential bursting from every moment.
A sensual heaviness to the air.
Humidity.
Crickets.
The 2020 election was stolen.
And Georgia was centerstage.
Ruby Freeman got caught.
On film.
And (apparently) paid no price.
But this travesty gave us at least one American hero: Lin Wood.
And now L. Lin Wood stands as one of the few remaining beacons in the darkness which has settled over America.
But there were other heroes.
Like Jesse Morgan.
What happened to his truck-full of ballots that he transported from Bethpage, New York to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania?
His truck disappeared.
The 2020 election was a heist of the most grand proportions.
Analog, digital…you name it.
Ask Phill Kline what happened to that truck.
Ask Anthony Shaffer.
The Amistad Project tried to preserve “one person, one vote” in America.
So far, not a single court in the land (post-election) has had the guts to look at the evidence.
And the evidence is embarrassingly-copious.
Jamie Foxx is excellent in this film.
Don’t underestimate the thug.
Street smarts and book smarts differ.
The latter can earn you a living.
The former can keep you alive.
Staying alive in the world of crime and secrecy (a deadly combination) is no small feat.
Especially when the stakes are high.
For criminals, cops are bad.
Unless the cops are corrupt.
In which case, the cops may very well be working to supply the criminals (among other things).
Which makes me think of the highly-questionable Eric Holder.
And the genre this movie emerges from.
A franchise and a genre.
Fast and furious.
We are the scum that keep it alive.
We are the 7 billion people who will not make the cut alluded to in the Georgia Guidestones.
But romance continues in war.
As love is more desperate.
And each moment savored more so.
A morsel here.
There.
We get bold.
Nerds of the world.
Quiet.
Wallflowers.
Desperate times.
Measured.
Yes, we have no bananas.
Just writing songs.
A potential deserter.
Every man has his breaking point.
Ansel Elgort is also brilliant in this film.
Edgar Wright may be the most important film director working in the world today.
This film is a masterpiece.
The problem is (and it’s hardly a problem), all his films are masterpieces.
I watch them repeatedly.
Wright is truly an auteur.
He is truly an indispensable filmmaker.
I didn’t GET that at first.
Just like I didn’t GET the first Grinderman record when it came out.
Some things take time.
Each artist has their own language.
You must first learn the language.
Maybe you can only run so long.
Which is why an army is not one man or one woman.
That day will come when you are not so lucky.
If you only have one memory.
It is priceless.
Can bad people do a good turn?
Yes.
And we pray that they see the light.
Can quiet nerds be bad motherfuckers?
You better believe it.
But they never stop being (simultaneously) fragile.
