  1. Roman Polański – „Rosemaries Baby“ (1968)

    Dieser Film hat Roman Polański 1968 endgültig zu einer Schlüsselfigur des internationalen Kinos gemacht. Zuvor hatte der in Paris geborene und in Polen aufgewachsene Regisseur allerdings schon mit „Das Messer im Wasser“ (1962) und „Ekel“ (1965) gezeigt, dass er das Spiel mit psychologischem Druck und räumlicher Enge meisterhaft beherrscht. Mit Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes und Ruth Gordon. (ARD, Wh.)

  3. The Skillmaster

    Daily writing prompt If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why? View all responses

    The skill of being a superhero was the first thing that came to mind, but I’m not sure that’s for me because superheroes all seem t have to go through some sort of freak accident and get dosed with massive amounts of radiation, or be the subject of an experiment or whatever. And I’m not not sure I want the responsibility for saving everyone from everything. And I’m probably too old for the superhero business anyway.

    “Look, up in the sky!”
    “It’s a bird!”
    “It’s a plane!”
    “It’s… who the hell is that old guy anyway?”
    “Yeah, I don’t know. I bet he drools in his sleep.”
    “Eww.”
    “I know.”
    “I think he fell asleep, he flew right over us!”
    “Now what do we do? The city is doomed.”
    “THE CITY IS DOOMED!”

    Scratch superhero.

    A real skill. Writing would be at the top of the list. It’s the first one here so I guess it actually is at the top of the list. Why? Have you ever seen how much J.K. Rowling and Stephen King are worth? Not that money is my motivation to write, but I wouldn’t say no to it. And if I could master the skill then I could write effortlessly and flawlessly and be accepted constantly.

    A real skill. I think I’d like to instantly master the art of conversation. Interlocution. Say it with me because it sounds fun: Interlocution. Now very slowly: In… Ter… Lo… Cuuuuuuu… Tion. Fun? It would just be nice to talk to anyone about anything without feeling pressure or anything like that.

    A real skill. I mentioned maybe buying a guitar yesterday and if I could master that skill instantly then it would make that decision a lot easier. I’ve seen a Community Ed class here titled, “Instant Guitar for Hopelessly Busy People” but it doesn’t really promise much. And isn’t the name of the class kind of sad? “Hopelessly busy”. If someone is that busy why is playing the guitar even on their to-do list? But mastering the art of playing the guitar would be good because then I could join a band and have groupies.

    A real skill. I also mentioned the possibility of taking vocal lessons yesterday. Might it not be cool to master that talent and sing like Frank Sinatra?

    A real skill. Baking. Baking bread is really kind of a hit or miss thing. You have processes you can somewhat control, but in the end, unlike cooking where you can taste all along the way and adjust as necessary, with baking you have to trust to the process and hope that what eventually comes out of the oven 4 to 48+ hours after putting it together is going to be good. And for me it frequently isn’t for one reason or another. With the skill of a master baker it would be effortless and always rewarding and photo-worthy.

    A real skill. Knowing when to stop writing a blog. Should blogs be long or should they be short? How much does a blog visitor really want to read and how much time to do they want to spend because they have other things to do and other blogs to visit and their own blogs to write. So having the skill to know when to stop writing a blog would be

  4. Roman Polański, Mia Farrow – „Rosemaries Baby“ (1968)

    In einem Jahr, das auch filmhistorisch zwischen Aufbruch und Abgrund lag, hat dieser Film Roman Polański 1968 endgültig zu einer Schlüsselfigur des internationalen Kinos gemacht. Zuvor hatte der in Paris geborene und in Polen aufgewachsene Regisseur schon mit „Das Messer im Wasser“ (1962) und „Ekel“ (1965) gezeigt, dass er das Spiel mit psychologischem Druck und räumlicher Enge meisterhaft beherrscht. Mit diesem Horrorfilm gelang ihm dann der Sprung nach Hollywood – und gleichzeitig wurde es der Beginn seiner lebenslangen Ambivalenz zwischen Genie und moralischem Skandal. (ARD, Wh.)

  6. CW: Unarmada for Gaza: Long bars, extreme content

    home #DAARVO feds yet to #merc and #narc us
    smash our #heartland up; calmly #FARC us
    but mark this; #markets are #MarkingTargets
    garnering chips before #Autumn darkens
    looking for our links to chill our parlance
    listing #collectives , #trans and #anarchists
    and if these corpses swept under carpets
    trust they coming next for our kids
    be it #Farage or whoever’s in charge,
    our tyrant’s tools will have us in our compartments
    chemical froth corrupting our lungs
    minds addled by the slop, #SaveOurSons
    #f35 tonne bomb mach one
    song old as rhyme – #TheBeastIsGaston
    #quadcopters will soon barrage us
    one hot post will be cause to charge us
    wires and walls and #checkpoints will part us
    a crime from you and they’ll kill your fathers
    #warning : content’s awful mar true
    sins are mortal and laws are martial
    a living child interred in rubble
    the rocks won’t crack an inch; she can’t pull
    in Gaza as in #Mosul and #Kabul
    dogs ran with morsels of human charnel
    now even the mongrels’ deathly gargle
    life taken hostage by unremarked ghouls
    like #GenghisKhan and #JeffreyDahmer
    the #ThaneOfGlamis and rabid #piranhas
    slashed up a world of kids with #katanas
    hung them from larches like #pinatas
    pincushioned by acid archers
    then called in the #AirBarrages
    posting vids as they blew the charges
    truly the most moral armies
    then as we scream “ #MassMurder ” started singing #FrankSinatra
    #WishingOnAStar wearing literal guts for garters
    try with all my #dada can’t impart the sheer #disaster
    we’ll all always have been most against this in the hereafter
