Embers of Empire - "Allow us royal subjects, commonwealth citizens governed by neocolonial pressures, we who have lived through dying embers of empire and observed the revolving door of mediocrity in British politics over the last decade or so, our quiet judgments and tempered schadenfreude." A reflection on the UK general election in context of the Brexit vote.
Streaks Blue and Red - Heat on screen and in the charts, via 1989's Do the Right Thing and 1999's Blue Streak, respectively.
World, Hold On - A very brief comment regarding an upcoming post on some notable depictions of cults in film. One of the many drafts in the queue.
Skye: A Gallery - "There is nothing that is not magnificent here. The lenticular clouds circle above, overseeing slopes of dry-yellow grass and charcoal-black dirt, bathed sporadically in orange and grey. The surrounding waves continue their eons-long battering of the cliffs, tapering them to boulders, then gravel. Birds unknown dart by, at peace with the erratic currents. You are able to consider it all, in stretched seconds."
Awaiting a More Glorious Dawn - A few videos offering an escape from a predictively frustrating summer. |
