The Quarrel of The Monkey and The Crab
A long, long time ago, one bright autumn day in Japan, a pink-faced monkey and a yellow crab were playing together on the riverbank. As they were running around, Crab found a dumpling and Monkey found a persimmon seed.
Crab picked up the dumpling and showed it to Monkey, saying:
“Look what I found!”
Then Monkey held up his seed and said:
“I also found something good! Look!”
Now even though Monkey was very fond of persimmons, he had no use for the seed. The persimmon seed is as hard as a stone. So in his greedy nature, he wanted Crab’s dumpling, and he suggested a trade. Crab didn’t see why he should give up his yummy dumpling for a hard seed, and told Monkey to go jump in a lake.
Then sneaky Monkey began to persuade Crab, saying:
“You are so foolish. Can’t you think of the future! Your dumpling is only good for right now, and is bigger than my seed; but if you plant this seed in the ground it will grow and become a great tree. You will have a lot of ripe persimmons year after year. If only I could show you the fruit hanging on its branches! Of course, if you don’t believe me I will do it myself; and you will be very sorry that you did not listen to me.”
Crab was simple and could not resist Monkey’s slick talk. Finally, he gave in and agreed to Monkey’s proposal, and they traded goods. Greedy Monkey gobbled up the dumpling, and very slowly gave the seed to Crab. He wanted to keep that too, but he was afraid of making Crab angry and of getting pinched. They went their own ways, Monkey going back to the forest and Crab back to the riverbank. As soon as Crab reached home he put the persimmon seed in the ground, just as Monkey had told him.
The following spring Crab was delighted to see a sprout push its way up through the ground. It grew bigger each year, until at last it blossomed one spring, and the following autumn it grew some large persimmons. In the smooth green leaves the fruit hung like golden balls, and as they ripened they mellowed into a deep orange. The little crab was happy to sit in the sun and stretch out his eyes and watch the persimmons.
“Oh, they are going to taste so good!” he said to himself.
One day he looked up and knew the persimmons must be ripe and he wanted to taste one. He made several attempts to climb the tree, trying to reach one of the beautiful persimmons hanging above him; but he failed each time, because a crab’s legs are made for scuttling over rocks, not climbing trees. Then he thought of his friend Monkey. Monkey could climb faster than anyone else. He made up his mind to ask Monkey for help, and he went to find him.
Running as fast as a crab can over the river side rocks and into the forest, Crab at last found Monkey. He was taking a nap in his favorite pine tree, with his tail curled around a branch to prevent him from falling off. He eagerly listened to what Crab told him. When he heard that the seed he had given to Crab had turned into a beautiful tree full of ripe fruit, he began to devise a plan to get the juicy orbs. He knew that he would have to trick poor Crab, but he was okay with that.
He went with Crab to pick the fruit for him. When they both reached the spot, Monkey was astonished to see such a beautiful tree that was loaded with sweet smelling fruit just waiting to be picked.
He ran up the tree, eating the juicy fruit one by one, and filling his belly until he was about to burst. He did not leave a single ripe fruit hanging on the tree. Poor Crab waited on the ground for the ripe treats to fall to the ground, but all that came down were some small unripe fruits that were as hard as stone.
Oh how Crab suffered as Monkey ate and ate and ate. He was so disappointed that he ran round and round the tree telling Monkey to remember his promise. At first, Monkey ignored Crab’s complaints, but at last he picked out the hardest, greenest persimmon he could find and aimed it at Crab’s head. The persimmon was as hard as a stone. Monkey’s missile struck home and Crab was left stunned and hurt by the blow. Again and again, as fast as he could pick them, Monkey pulled off the hard persimmons and threw them at poor defenseless Crab until he broke into pieces and died. He laid there, broken, at the foot of the tree that he had so tenderly grown.
When Monkey saw that he had killed Crab, he ran away as fast as he could, trembling, like a coward as he was.
Now Crab had a son who had been playing not far from the spot where this tragedy had taken place. On the way home he came across his father’s dead body, with his head smashed and his shell broken in several places. All around his body lay the unripe persimmons that Monkey had so cruelly thrown. The poor young crab sat down and wept at this dreadful sight.
After he had cried for a while, he realized that he had to do something to make things right again. He looked around for some clues that would lead him to the murderer. Looking up at the tree, he noticed that the best fruit was gone, and all that lay around were bits of peel and seeds strewn on the ground, as well as the unripe persimmons that had evidently been thrown at his father. Then he knew that Monkey was the murderer, because he remembered the story of the dumpling and the seed that his dad had told him. The young crab knew that monkeys liked persimmons, and he was sure that Monkey’s greed had led to his father’s death.
At first, while he was still burning with rage, he thought about going up to Monkey’s house and beating him up. On second thought, he knew that Monkey was smart and hard to beat, and plus he lived in a tree. He figured that he must meet cunning with cunning and ask some of his friends to help him, because this was not something that he could do alone.
Young crab set out at once for the mortar, his father’s old friend, and told him all that had happened. He begged the mortar, with tears in his eyes, to help him avenge his father’s death. Mortar said that he would help and that Young Crab should be very careful as Monkey was strong and cunning. Mortar went to fetch Bee and Chestnut (also Crab’s old friends) to ask for their help. Bee and Chestnut soon arrived. When they were told all about the old crab’s death and of Monkey’s wickedness and greed, they both gladly agreed to help Young Crab in his revenge.
They talked late into the evening, making plans to avenge the death of their friend. As the temple bell sounded, they parted and Mortar went with Young Crab to bury their friend.
While this was going on, Monkey sat in his tree and gloated about how he had eaten so many fine persimmons and how he had cracked the crabs body into bits. He told the leaves in the trees how he had been the smartest animal in the forest that day. Even though he was smiling and riding that emotional high, he was still worried that someone might find out that it was he who had killed Old Crab. If someone had seen him, Crab’s family might be out looking for revenge. But he was sure that he had slipped away without anyone seeing him, so he went back to singing his own praises. Still, he did not want to go out and get caught, for he still reeked of persimmon juice, and after a few days he got really bored. Then he said:
“Nobody knows that I killed Crab. How could they know? I am sure I saw him break into little pieces. No crab could survive that. Anyway, what is done is done, he isn’t coming back. Maybe it is time for me to go back outside. I am sooooo bored!”
So he went walking by Crab village and he snuck up behind their homes. He wanted to hear if they knew it was him, but there was nothing but silence in the home. The crabs were all sad about losing their village chief. They said nothing about the murder, they just slowly rolled the sand back and forth at their feet. Monkey was well pleased that they didn’t accuse him of anything and he said:
“They are all such fools that they don’t know and don’t care who murdered their chief!”
Little did he know in his so-called “monkey’s wisdom” that this was all part of Young Crab’s plan. He pretended that he blamed himself for his father’s death and led Monkey to believe that he was off the hook. Instead, Young Crab was secretly planning Monkey’s downfall.
So Monkey returned home from his walk quite content. He told himself he had nothing now to fear.
One day, when Monkey was sitting at home, he was surprised by a messenger from the young crab. Monkey wondered what the little crab was bringing him and the messenger bowed before him and said:
“I have been sent by my master to inform you that his father died the other day. He fell from a persimmon tree while trying to climb the tree. Since this is the seventh day after his death, it is the first anniversary. My master has prepared a little festival in his father’s honor, and he bids you come as you were one of his best friends. My master hopes you will honor his house with your presence.”
When Monkey heard these words he kept a straight face, but rejoiced in his heart. He knew that he had gotten away with everything and now the Crab family would be holding a feast and he would be able to eat even more. And so he said:
“I am so very sorry to hear of your chief’s death. We were great friends as you know. I remember that we once traded a dumpling for a seed. It grieves me to think that the seed was the cause of his death. I accept your kind invitation with many thanks. I shall be delighted to honor my poor old friend!” And he wiped a fake tear from his eye.
Young Crab thought to himself, “The wicked monkey is fake crying, but soon he will be crying for real.” Then he thanked Monkey politely and went home.
When Young Crab had gone, wicked Monkey laughed aloud. He thought that Young Crab was really naive. Then he thought about all of the delicious food he was about to have at the feast. He put on his best mourning clothes and solemnly walked to the funeral hall.
All of Crab’s family was there. They welcomed him and exchanged bows as a form of respect. Young Crab welcomed him in. Monkey gave his condolences and spoke highly of the late crab. Monkey was graciously thanked and welcomed into the dining hall, where a great feast was waiting.
After the feast was over, he was invited to the tea room to drink a cup of tea. The young crab brought Monkey into the room and then exited via a side door. Monkey waited a long time. Finally, he became impatient. He said to himself:
“This tea ceremony is always a very slow affair. I am tired of waiting so long. I am very thirsty after drinking so much sake at dinner!”
He walked to the fireplace and began to pour some hot water from the kettle, when something burst out from the ashes with a great pop and hit Monkey right in the neck. It was the chestnut, one of Crab’s friends, who had hidden himself in the fireplace. Monkey, taken by surprise, jumped backward, and then started to run out of the room.
The bee, who was hiding outside the screen, now flew in and stung him on the cheek. Monkey was in great pain, his neck was burned by the chestnut and his face badly stung by the bee, and he ran on screaming with rage.
Now the stone mortar had hidden himself with several other stones on the top of Crab’s gate, and as Monkey ran underneath, the mortar and all fell down on the top of Monkey’s head. He lay crushed and in great pain, quite unable to get up. As he lay there helpless Young Crab came up, and, holding his great claw over Monkey, he said:
“Do you remember now that you killed my father?”
“Then you—are—my—enemy?” gasped Monkey brokenly.
“Of course,” said the young crab.
“It—was—your—father’s—fault—not—mine!” gasped the unrepentant monkey.
“You are still lying? I will end you now!” and with that he snipped off Monkey’s head with his claws. Thus the wicked monkey met his well earned punishment, and the young crab avenged his father’s death.
This is the end of the story of Monkey, Crab, and the persimmon seed.
The End

Archgoat – Nightbringer, Lightbringer Review By Mark Z.Since getting started in 1989, Finland’s Archgoat have more than earned their place on the Mt. Rushmore of bestial blackened death metal (or “war metal,” for those like-minded fukks who spend too much time on Metal Archives and wear camo shorts to Best Buy). Helmed by twin brothers “Lord Angelslayer” (bass/vocals) and “Ritual Butcherer” (guitars), the group’s formula is simple yet effective: take rushing black metal riffs, add uber-deep growls, downtune the fukk out of the guitars, and throw in a lot of ritualistic, marching breaks that whip live audiences into a godless frenzy. For those who’ve never listened to them, imagine Beherit’s Drawing Down the Moon but more bludgeoning and blasphemous. Since returning from a decade-plus hiatus and releasing their long-awaited debut Whore of Bethlehem in 2006, the band’s albums have shown them honing that core sound while offering minor variations of it, with 2009’s The Light-Devouring Darkness veering closer to the more chaotic side of war metal and 2018’s The Luciferian Crown serving as a career high with its excellent variety and commanding production. Their last album, 2021’s Worship the Eternal Darkness, unfortunately felt a bit like the band was treading water after The Luciferian Crown, making me worried about how their sixth album, Nightbringer, Lightbringer, would fare.
Turns out those worries were for naught, as Nightbringer, Lightbringer shows Archgoat continuing to trample Christianity beneath their hooves with as much conviction as ever. After the requisite ambient intro, the title track blasts forth like a firestorm, scorching your pathetic little ears with stampeding double-bass runs, guttural pigfuck vocals, and pounding mid-paced riffs that force heads to be banged. With lots of pauses and tempo shifts, the track at times feels like it was blown up by a grenade and hastily reassembled, though the grunts of the track title (with dramatic pauses between each word) serve as a catchy anchor that holds everything together. Other than this song, the late-album track, “Reaper of Christianity,” comes the closest to the “classic” Archgoat formula, aside from the pianos that embellish that track’s marching riffs.
Those pianos, it turns out, aren’t the only experimental touches here, as this record shows Archgoat trying more new things than perhaps any other album in the band’s catalog. Several songs feature novel vocal approaches: the relentless assault of “Iconoclasm the Nazarene” has moments of higher-pitched screams that recall Revenge, while “Blood of Jesus Spilling Upon the Earth” employs bits of deep spoken word that might even be pitch-shifted. The latter song also uses passages of spacey, ringing chords that aren’t as powerful as the band’s trademark marching riffs, but are at least different. Perhaps the most notable moment, however, is in “Keys of Hell and Death,” whose epic conclusion is probably the most melodic minute of music the group has ever performed.
Overall, these new touches are welcome, though given how goddamn effective the band’s core sound is, I do wish the record offered a few more “traditional” Archgoat songs. The average tempos also feel slower than usual and, when combined with the heavy use of keyboards, create a sinister, ritualistic feel that may displease those looking for something with more raw bloodthirst. The only real misstep, however, is second proper track, “The Dawn to Armageddon.” The track itself is actually great, with hypnotic mid-paced riffing and keyboard embellishments that together make it sound a bit like old Samael. The problem is that its placement on the tracklist saps the album’s momentum early. Fortunately, songs like “The Light Behind the Horns” and the closing track, “Obsidian Reflection of Anti-Light,” are the perfect antidote, with punky energy and rampaging riffs that make it easy to bang your fukkin head (for the master in hell). Tracks like these are all the more powerful given the clear, full production that lets every layer shine through the darkness while retaining plenty of raw grit.
Apparently, Nightbringer, Lightbringer is about the end of Christianity and the beginning of a new Satanic dawn. The band supports this theme with as much conviction as ever while offering plenty of new embellishments, yet remaining wholly recognizable as the one and only Archgoat. In some ways, Lightbringer, Nightbringer is the epitome of the late-career dilemma: should a band continue doing the same thing or actually try new shit? For Archgoat, the answer is apparently a little bit of both, and the result is yet another Satanic stampede that’s sure to please war metal fans and anyone else looking for a blasphemous good time.

The problem is that its placement on the tracklist saps the album’s momentum early. Fortunately, songs like “The Light Behind the Horns” and the closing track, “Obsidian Reflection of Anti-Light,” are the perfect antidote, with punky energy and rampaging riffs that make it easy to bang your fukkin head (for the master in hell). Tracks like these are all the more powerful given the clear, full production that lets every layer shine through the darkness while retaining plenty of raw grit.
Apparently, Nightbringer, Lightbringer is about the end of Christianity and the beginning of a new Satanic dawn. The band supports this theme with as much conviction as ever while offering plenty of new embellishments, yet remaining wholly recognizable as the one and only Archgoat. In some ways, Lightbringer, Nightbringer is the epitome of the late-career dilemma: should a band continue doing the same thing or actually try new shit? For Archgoat, the answer is apparently a little bit of both, and the result is yet another Satanic stampede that’s sure to please war metal fans and anyone else looking for a blasphemous good time.

Archgoat – Nightbringer, Lightbringer Review By Mark Z.Since getting started in 1989, Finland’s Archgoat have more than earned their place on the Mt. Rushmore of bestial blackened death metal (or “war metal,” for those like-minded fukks who spend too much time on Metal Archives and wear camo shorts to Best Buy). Helmed by twin brothers “Lord Angelslayer” (bass/vocals) and “Ritual Butcherer” (guitars), the group’s formula is simple yet effective: take rushing black metal riffs, add uber-deep growls, downtune the fukk out of the guitars, and throw in a lot of ritualistic, marching breaks that whip live audiences into a godless frenzy. For those who’ve never listened to them, imagine Beherit’s Drawing Down the Moon but more bludgeoning and blasphemous. Since returning from a decade-plus hiatus and releasing their long-awaited debut Whore of Bethlehem in 2006, the band’s albums have shown them honing that core sound while offering minor variations of it, with 2009’s The Light-Devouring Darkness veering closer to the more chaotic side of war metal and 2018’s The Luciferian Crown serving as a career high with its excellent variety and commanding production. Their last album, 2021’s Worship the Eternal Darkness, unfortunately felt a bit like the band was treading water after The Luciferian Crown, making me worried about how their sixth album, Nightbringer, Lightbringer, would fare.
Turns out those worries were for naught, as Nightbringer, Lightbringer shows Archgoat continuing to trample Christianity beneath their hooves with as much conviction as ever. After the requisite ambient intro, the title track blasts forth like a firestorm, scorching your pathetic little ears with stampeding double-bass runs, guttural pigfuck vocals, and pounding mid-paced riffs that force heads to be banged. With lots of pauses and tempo shifts, the track at times feels like it was blown up by a grenade and hastily reassembled, though the grunts of the track title (with dramatic pauses between each word) serve as a catchy anchor that holds everything together. Other than this song, the late-album track, “Reaper of Christianity,” comes the closest to the “classic” Archgoat formula, aside from the pianos that embellish that track’s marching riffs.
Those pianos, it turns out, aren’t the only experimental touches here, as this record shows Archgoat trying more new things than perhaps any other album in the band’s catalog. Several songs feature novel vocal approaches: the relentless assault of “Iconoclasm the Nazarene” has moments of higher-pitched screams that recall Revenge, while “Blood of Jesus Spilling Upon the Earth” employs bits of deep spoken word that might even be pitch-shifted. The latter song also uses passages of spacey, ringing chords that aren’t as powerful as the band’s trademark marching riffs, but are at least different. Perhaps the most notable moment, however, is in “Keys of Hell and Death,” whose epic conclusion is probably the most melodic minute of music the group has ever performed.
Overall, these new touches are welcome, though given how goddamn effective the band’s core sound is, I do wish the record offered a few more “traditional” Archgoat songs. The average tempos also feel slower than usual and, when combined with the heavy use of keyboards, create a sinister, ritualistic feel that may displease those looking for something with more raw bloodthirst. The only real misstep, however, is second proper track, “The Dawn to Armageddon.” The track itself is actually great, with hypnotic mid-paced riffing and keyboard embellishments that together make it sound a bit like old Samael.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
In his infinite goodness, God invented rheumatism and gout and dyspepsia, cancers and neuralgia, and is still inventing new diseases. Not only this, but he decreed the pangs of mothers, and that by the gates of love and life should crouch the dragons of death and pain. Fearing that some might, by accident, live too long, he planted poisonous vines and herbs that looked like food. He caught the serpents he had made and gave them fangs and curious organs, ingeniously devised to distill and deposit the deadly drop. He changed the nature of the beasts, that they might feed on human flesh. He cursed a world, and tainted every spring and source of joy. He poisoned every breath of air; corrupted even light, that it might bear disease on every ray; tainted every drop of blood in human veins; touched every nerve, that it might bear the double fruit of pain and joy; decreed all accidents and mistakes that maim and hurt and kill, and set the snares of life-long grief, baited with present pleasure, — with a moment’s joy. Then and there he foreknew and foreordained all human tears. And yet all this is but the prelude, the introduction, to the infinite revenge of the good God. Increase and multiply all human griefs until the mind has reached imagination’s farthest verge, then add eternity to time, and you may faintly tell, but never can conceive, the infinite horrors of this doctrine called “The Fall of Man.”
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator

Bish said she’s never spoken to the 2 men outside of an occasional light message on social media, but that her independent probe into #AdamSchiff was submitted to #BillPulte’s office earlier this year & later referred to the #DOJ, where it was handed off to #EdMartin.
“If they’re trying to tie me into some kind of clandestine conspiracy, it’s not there, & the best way to protect myself is to be open & honest & public,” she said [doesn’t mean they aren’t using her for one].

CW: ⚠ Content Advisory: The Mirror Audiobook
Author Amber Collins specializes in size fantasy / macrophilia, and she doesn't disappoint with The Mirror.
This story has tiny man, giant woman / giantess, and couple growth (instead of the shrinking that's a more common theme in her books).
It also has bullying, humiliation, and reverse humiliation / erotic revenge. Plus there's a haunted mirror, speaking beyond the grave, magic, enchantment, and magical transformation.
This book will probably be best enjoyed by size fantasy fans but if the above themes resonate for you, or if you just like spicy audiobooks (or my voice for that matter), you might enjoy this one, too!

He’s dangerously unqualified yet wields enormous power. Please watch, share, and spread the word. Urge your reps to demand Martin’s resignation.

Capitolo 410: La Strana Voglia di Film
Dopo un mese di giugno piuttosto misero dal punto di vista cinematografico (già vi avevo spiegato il motivo nel precedente capitolo), ora che mi sono momentaneamente spostato nella mia umile residenza estiva in quel di Monopoli, ho ripreso ad avere un buon ritmo, tra un panzerotto e l’altro. A questi sette film ci sarebbe da aggiungere anche un rewatch di Ritorno al Futuro, ma siccome non c’è molto da dire su un capolavoro visto e amato da tutti, ho preferito ometterlo dalla lista degli ultimi film visti (che invece trovate completa su Letterboxd). Voi invece che avete visto ultimamente?
Diciannove (2024): Aspettavo da molto il film d’esordio di Giovanni Tortorici e ammetto di aver avuto forse qualche aspettativa di troppo (il trailer era davvero molto allettante): è la storia di un ragazzo siciliano di 19 anni che parte per fare l’università a Siena. Fino a qui tutto bene, se non fosse che il film prende delle direzioni decisamente pretenziose, illogiche, che trasformano il protagonista in un asociale e allontanano lo spettatore da ciò che poteva essere l’ottimo spunto iniziale: raccontare il disagio di un adolescente di oggi alle prese con la società e il mondo fuori dal liceo (e dal nido materno). Non ci siamo proprio, ma se siete curiosi di sapere di che si tratta lo trovate su Mubi.
••I Love Radio Rock (2009): Uno dei miei comfort movie per eccellenza. Uno dei motivi per cui nel giugno 2009 tornai a Roma da un viaggio di circa un mese in giro per l’Europa è stato perché era uscito questo film di Richard Curtis in sala e non potevo perdermelo (ma questa storia nel libro non l’ho scritta, forse non sarebbe stata credibile!). La vicenda è ispirata alla storia delle radio pirata che imperversavano nel Regno Unito negli anni 60: radio libere, che trasmettevano il “diabolico” rock a ogni ora da navi situate in acque non controllate dal governo. Se su queste navi ci mettete Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy o Rhys Ifans, tra gli altri, oltre a una colonna sonora clamorosa, il risultato rasenta il capolavoro: non lo è, sia chiaro, ma per quello che sono i miei gusti ci si avvicina parecchio.
•••••La Città Proibita (2025): Ho sentito parlare davvero molto bene di questo nuovo lavoro di Gabriele Mainetti, che già mi aveva conquistato con Lo Chiamavano Jeeg Robot. Poi però Freaks Out mi aveva lasciato freddino e per questo motivo ho forse sottovalutato l’arrivo di questo nuovo film, che arriva ora su Netflix e merita davvero tutti gli elogi che ha avuto. Una ragazza cinese, esperta di kung fu, arriva a Roma per cercare sua sorella, ma ciò che trova sono soprattutto criminali e brutte notizie. Dovrà cercare aiuto in un cuoco romano per scoprire la verità. Innanzitutto le scene di combattimento sono davvero eccezionali, il film è coreografato benissimo e, da un film italiano, non è qualcosa che ti aspetti sempre. Inoltre ho trovato molto interessante il sottotesto su come Roma sta cambiando, sui tanti volti del rione Esquilino, a tratti più interessante del film stesso. Mainetti svolge il lavoro come si deve: il film è intrattenimento puro, ti fa trascorrere una serata piacevole, racconta un angolo di Roma lontano dalle cartoline e dai cliché (più o meno, su qualcuno ci marcia un po’, ma non in maniera fastidiosa). Benissimo Sabrina Ferilli e Marco Giallini.
•••½Memento (2000): Come si fa a concepire un film in cui il montaggio avviene all’inverso? Ovvero: ogni scena inizia dalla fine della scena successiva e, nonostante questa confusione, funziona perfettamente. Guy Pierce è un assicuratore che, in seguito a un incidente in cui sua moglie è stata violentata e uccisa, perde la capacità di assimilare nuovi ricordi: per questo gira con una polaroid dove fotografa volti e luoghi, prendendo appunti su ciò che gli succede. Lo scopo è trovare l’assassino di sua moglie e ucciderlo. Un film totalmente geniale, in cui il montaggio all’inverso pone lo spettatore nella stessa condizione del protagonista, incapace di sapere cos’è successo prima, se non attraverso gli appunti segnati dietro ogni polaroid. Non lo vedevo da oltre dieci anni e non è invecchiato di un giorno: stupendo.
•••••Revenge (2017): Esordio cinematografico di Coralie Fargeat, qualche anno prima di girare il cult The Substance. Un uomo sposato porta una ragazza molto avvenente in una lussuosa villa nel mezzo del deserto. Qui viene raggiunto da due amici e, senza entrare troppo nei dettagli, la ragazza si ritroverà a passare qualche brutto quarto d’ora. Dopo essere sopravvissuta a un tentativo di omicidio (in quanto una sua denuncia avrebbe potuto distruggere la vita dei tre uomini), da preda diventa predatrice e, come da titolo, cerca vendetta. Visivamente è un film bellissimo, ci sono delle idee che già anticipano alcune scene disgustose per cui è stato acclamato The Substance. Certo, la storia è totalmente inverosimile (se lo vedrete capirete perché), ma dal punto di vista dell’intrattenimento è davvero un’opera appetitosa. Il più classico dei revenge movie (e, come dicevo, il titolo è davvero poco equivocabile): lo trovate su Mubi.
•••½Scarecrow – Lo Spaventapasseri (1973): Quanto era bello il cinema degli anni 70? Non so come sia possibile che, non solo non avessi mai visto questo filmone di Jerry Schatzberg, ma prima di qualche mese fa non l’avevo neanche mai sentito nominare. Eppure è un film che ha vinto la Palma d’Oro a Cannes, con Gene Hackman e Al Pacino! Voi lo conoscete? Ditemi di no, vi prego, e in tal caso: recuperatelo al più presto. Hackman e Pacino sono due vagabondi intenzionati a diventare soci e a mettere in piedi un autolavaggio a Pittsburgh, dove il più anziano dei due ha una piccola fortuna da parte in banca. Per questo si mettono in viaggio per gli States, tra lavoretti, bar, risse, prigioni e tanti bellissimi dialoghi, in un road movie scapestrato e irresistibile (Al Pacino, sopra le righe, è straordinario). Per tutto il film c’è un’atmosfera bellissima, nonostante qualche dramma, è l’atmosfera di un cinema che non c’è più, con le sue imperfezioni, con la grana della pellicola, la macchina da presa che ogni tanto perde il fuoco: quanta anima però. Filmone, filmone, filmone.
••••La Strana Voglia di Jean (1969): Una sorpresa, di una bellezza totalmente inaspettata. Si tratta del film con cui Maggie Smith, ai tempi splendida trentacinquenne, ha vinto il suo primo Oscar (su due): tratto da un romanzo e poi da una piece teatrale, il film di Ronald Neame (in seguito regista de L’Avventura del Poseidon) racconta la storia di un’insegnante di storia in un collegio femminile di Edinburgo, negli anni 30. Durante il primo atto pensi continuamente “ah, ok, sarà tipo L’Attimo Fuggente“, poi però il punto di vista cambia e restiamo completamente spiazzati dal modo in cui si sviluppa la vicenda. Un film di cui si parla pochissimo, quasi nulla, ma che invece merita decisamente il nostro tempo, cercatelo. Sorvoliamo sull’insensato titolo italiano, che fa pensare a un film con Lino Banfi, quando il titolo originale era The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, che riprende una linea di dialogo che torna spesso durante la visione. Bellissimo.
••••SERIE TV: Ho finito la quarta stagione di The Bear e, come anticipavo nel capitolo precedente (dopo che avevo visto solo un paio di episodi), l’ho trovata molto bella. Sì, è vero che è un po’ ripetitiva, ma è come se le vicende facessero un passetto in avanti. Soprattutto, più che della storia ci si lega molto ai personaggi: dopo un paio di settimane senza nuovi episodi (la quinta stagione è attualmente in lavorazione) ciò che mi manca non è sapere il destino del ristorante, di cui mi interessa poco, ma i singoli personaggi. Da sottolineare il bellissimo episodio del matrimonio, che fa da contrappunto a quello, straordinario, della cena di Natale.

CW: "The Special Rapporteur urges Member States to: (a) Use all their political leverage" 🧵
#Recommendations from the Report of the UN Special Rapporteur:
"VIII. Recommendations
"The current genocide is part of a century-long project of eliminatory settler-colonialism in @palestine, a stain on the international system and humanity, which must be ended, investigated and prosecuted.
The Special Rapporteur reminds all States of their legal obligation to act on their due diligence duties given the clearly serious risk of continuous breach of the Genocide Convention and Geneva Conventions, and urges States to consider and reach an urgent public determination as to what levers and tools each State has at its disposal to ameliorate that risk, whether acting alone or with other States, including at the United Nations; and to explain to the public and the international community the steps which it has taken and why.Whether in compliance with the above due diligence duties or otherwise, the Special Rapporteur urges Member States to:
(a) Use all their political leverage – commencing with a full arms embargo and sanctions – so that Israel stops the assault against the Palestinians, accepts a ceasefire and fully withdraws from the occupied Palestinian territory in line with the ICJ Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024;(b) Formally recognize Israel as an apartheid State and persistent violator of international law, reactivating the Special Committee Against Apartheid to comprehensively address the situation in Palestine, and warn Israel of possible suspension of its membership under Article 6 of the Charter of the United Nations;
(c) Support the deployment of an international protective presence throughout the occupied Palestinian territory;
(d) Develop a protective framework for Palestinians displaced outside Gaza, in line with international human rights and refugee law, while fully preserving their right to return;
(e) Support independent and thorough investigation(s) of criminal conduct, including genocide and apartheid, including through the application in national courts of universal jurisdiction over those suspected of such criminal conduct, including all relevant ancillary offences;
(f) Investigate and prosecute corporate entities and dual citizens involved in crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory, including soldiers, mercenaries and settlers;
(g) Ensure unhindered humanitarian assistance to Gaza and full financing and protection of UNRWA, including from attacks on its premises and personnel and from libellous smear campaigns, and ensure the continuity of its mandate in all fields.
The Special Rapporteur urges the ICC Prosecutor to investigate the commission of the crimes of genocide and apartheid by Israel, and investigate other prominent individuals mentioned in the present report.
The Special Rapporteur urges the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel to investigate the broader context of eliminatory intent and practices of Israel against all Palestinians (triple lens test), including those with Israeli citizenship and the refugees, and recent acts of genocide."https://www.un.org/unispal/document/genocide-as-colonial-erasure-report-francesca-albanese-01oct24/

UN expert Francesca Albanese spoke to the UN Palestinian Rights Committee on 31 October 2024. She called on all States to examine their relationships and avoid being #complicit in the crime of genocide being committed by Israel on the Palestinian people in Gaza. 🧵
