    Awesome Welles

    Figured he might as well have his own thread. His films, yes (although I've only seen one, Kane), but also his personality. As far as I'm aware no scandals have emerged to bring him down. Could he be the greatest American of modern times?

    Hatchet jobs

    Fun to write, fun to read This review of Tennyson's second book by John Wilson Croker almost stopped thin-skinned Tennyson from publishing again. Byron and Shelley blamed Keats's untimely death on Croker's review of 'Endymion'...

    An incipient interest in plants and flowers

    I take this as a sign that I am entering my twilight years Last week I was on a massive comedown from glastonbury and I soothed myself by watching an old series on iPlayer about a horticulturalist from lancashire living in Essex and tending to her garden (assisted by her doddery deaf old...

    1994 was 30 years ago

    The year I saw "The Lion King" at the cinema, I was 9 years old, what a time to be alive, a year i remember (rose tintedly) as sunny https://community.netweather.tv/topic/80773-july-1994/ I think this was probably when I was really 'getting into' music, in the sense of buying cassettes and...

    Psycho thrillers

    - Convoluted/absurd plots, but the plot isn't exactly the point, so okay - Moral murk - Implicating the viewer in the crime - Voyeurism - Taboo sex urges - Noir - Nihilism - Shadowy or luridly colourful cinematography @luka This could be a broad field though. I was just watching Netflix's...

    How full of rage are you?

    Does it make sense to even talk about being "filled with" rage? I think people think of anger like this, like there's an anger bucket in everybody that gets steadily filled up with anger molecules until you go berserk. "Suppressed rage", is this a real thing? I suppose it is, it's the chemical...

    The Zone of Interest

    I went to see this on Monday night. I have been turning it over in my mind ever since. Questions about how effective it was to keep the Nazi protagonists at a distance from us. How effective it was to leave all atrocities more or less off-screen. Where it shaded into pretension, etc. That said...

    RIP Neil Kulkarni

    Really shocked to learn this news today. I was a (VERY) latecomer to his writing, which I read on his blog and latterly Substack, and although I often vehemently disagreed with him on musical matters I also thought he was a fantastic writer and clearly a hugely passionate music lover.
