layeredstructures


working on new films of the new structures - these stills of the tests - at the moment there is a sense of the magician in the clips - onto some entertainment - Normal People was lovely and had a well crafted script that outlined the characters beautifully.  Extraction - was quite tedious, how many times do you need to see heads exploding? The final episodes of Better Call Saul season 5 were tremendous and leave everything open for season 6. SS GB was what it was when alternative histories take over - big on period detail, especially the sets, although I did recognise the foyer of the old Central College of the Arts Building and USAF Bentwaters which kept taking me out of the scenes. Fantasy Island has to be the most confusing film ever - so much so that it becomes a great watch in the company of like minded people. There are moments of laugh out loud hilarity from Steve Coogan in Greed and the meta moments of actual celebrities playing themselves playing a version of them being paid to attend a party at a party is head swivelling - it's Carry On the Big Short.

walking through the area around the house has provided moments of relief as the trees do their thing. Revisiting the books on the shelves has led to this collection of images - just waiting for memes to be created. Anyway check out quite possibly the most global experience you will have today - http://radio.garden/search - a site housing on-line radio stations - great interface and the most extraordinary sounds - the whole world comes to you. Jodie Mack has created a body of  interesting films using textiles and her latest, The Grant Bizarre  https://mubi.com/cast/jodie-mack is an extraordinary 60 minutes that will give you fresh insight into textile production. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a stunningly beautiful film - so much of it is about what is unseen and unsaid https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8613070/ here we are notes for living on planet earth https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11692010/ a tear was shed in the house as we watched a child try and make sense of the big questions around and within us, and finally you need to invest some serious time and mental energy with Westworld - There is a moment in series 3 Episode 4 that totally blew my mind!!!
