First watch of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) yesterday. Might be one of the top ten endings of all time. Literally shouted at the television.

Some random thoughts after another three days in #Paris:
- The renovated interior of Notre Dame is better than I expected (the lighting is great)
- Montmartre still blows
- Keeping up a diet in Paris is intensely difficult
- Cinema culture is the best, so much respect for new films and revivals

(Re)visited this pixel-horror quartet. They're similar but different and I love them. All great examples of how to capture time/place/mood without photorealistic graphics, treat mature subjects without feeling exploitative and provoke a sense of dread through expressive writing, music and visuals.

Not the biggest fan of the new #Superman movie BUT the casting and characterization were excellent, which hopefully bodes well for future installments.
Also, VERY pleased with this:

I thought this one would be kind of hard with how popular Letterboxd has become, but it turns out there's a bunch of great movies needing some more love.

Otto Freundlich's painting 'Homage to the people of colour'. Freundlich's work was featured in the infamous 1937 'Degenerate Art' exhibition in Munich.
In 1943, Freundlich was deported to Sobibor concentration camp, where he was murdered.

A visit to the Kunstmuseum has the added benefit of seeing Mondriaan's Victory Boogie Woogie again, which is one of those paintings that really benefits from being seen in real life.
(Obviously, this tracks for a lot of paintings, but this one especially. Its textures are so rich!)

The "Nieuw Parijs" exhibition at The Hague's Kunstmuseum features a delightfully impressive selection of (proto-)Impressionist works from Orsay, Marmottan, the Met, and elsewhere. Also chronicles perhaps the most interesting decade in Parisian history (excluding the French Revolution), 1865-1875.

Two years ago: my then-boss, visiting @gamesbrussels.bsky.social , playing an in-development build of Koira and having a chat with Ben from @studiotolima.bsky.social
This morning: my daughter having a go at the finished game.
Great little gem, echoes of Journey, A Highland Song, and The Wanderer.

An interesting calenderial coincidence between The Devil Rides Out (1968) and The Wicker Man (1973), both screened @offscreenff.bsky.social. Also, and slightly concerning: my daughter's birthday.

Wrapping up first days at @offscreenff.bsky.social immersed in Wyrd Britain.
Key takeaways:
- showing the big demon is a good idea
- only ask a question if it's actually a question
- don't play on farms
- ask the folklore and/or horror experts in your life if they're alright from time to time

This painting probably records the first instance of someone uttering "Jesus Christ!" in utter disbelief.
