At political cabinet today, Morgan McSweeney gave a presentation on “three Es” on how the government can connect with voters - emotion, empathy and evidence.
Am told he said the government currently has a “deficit in emotion”

You COULD watch Black Christmas with this explanation: There are 2 killers.
1 Chris' (Keir Dullea) green jumper, jeans, brown shoes match all murderer close-ups.
2 'The moaner' isn't always Billy, isn't Chris too.
3. The piano strings glissando reflects Chris' musical career. He's a pianist.

Watching The Vampire Lovers (1971) and it's indicative of Hammer's reduced budgets/bloody cheapness that at one point an 1830s man rides his horse past a modern wire-fenced tennis court.

Watching big screen Laurel and Hardy via my video projector.
It's 'Berth Marks' from 1929.
Terrific fun.
That is about 2m wide.

#Xmas film observations:
1 The Amazing Mr Blunden
At the market, Blunden passes a brazier + flinches. He's reacting to memories of the fire that killed Sara + George.
2 Black Christmas
36:00: The POV shot implies the killer left to kill the girl, Janice, returned, then reentered to kill Mrs Mac.

Still up, RW the 1952 Finnish film 'Noita Palaa Elämään' (Witch Returns to Life).
A skeleton is dug up/revivified by an archaeologist + wreaks havoc
Being Finnish it has a unique tone, style, rules on politics, class, nudity + swearing. It's creepy, gothic, sexy, and a bit 'Carry-On Witch'.
