La loterie de la vie (Guy GIlles, 1977)
French director makes a film about Mexico, is fixated by the life of an elevator attendant who looked much older than 20 years old and is shown how she and her parents live in what I assume is slum-like conditions.

The Spook Who Sat By The Door (Ivan Dixon, 1973)
I didn't finish this because I just didn't enjoy a scene where a white man questions a black hooker about a black guy that's to be integrated into the CIA. It's silly of me because there's a lot of promise with the film given it's the 70s

Sally Porter's Thriller (1979)
No not a rival to Wacko Jacko's Thriller but a more puzzling piece on how women view the possession they are faced with in the stories they play. I think. It's very discordant and to it's detriment it plays Bernard Herrmann's stab soundtrack from Psycho for seemingly

July - the month of Tour de France. Nothing better than lazing about and watching cyclists going hell for leather.

Woke up today and my legs had difficulty moving from place to place. I overdid it yesterday and now after going back to sleep, they've recovered a little bit but I just have to rest today.

Well there's been news that they because my stated doctor is retiring they wanted to put me to a doctor that I don't know truly where she resides other than Tallaght. Because HSE see my doctor's place in Tallaght as official residence whereas we were going to Greenlea. I've sent a letter off today

Israel successfully created a reality distortion field in which the possible (Iran might get nuclear weapons) obscures the actual (Israel already has them)

The other thing is that I've had these new inhalers for a couple of weeks now after I had an asthma attack after taking the old one and that followed an almighty anxiety attack afterwards. These are the real deal. When I breath in, I don't have the sputtering afterwards. It's fucking amazing!

Everything's grim at this moment. Being so skint you have nothing to get any food. There's some stuff but it all depends on whether we have the coins to have it (our landlord is spectacularly stingy) coupled with the fact that he wanted bin money (which I still have to pay in full) with the episode

A votre santé (Georges Dufaux, 1974)
Life in the emergency ward, as exciting and as grim as it sounds. This bitterly wry comment kinda sums up my feeling towards my own ailments and the hospital's treatment of it. As I said it's a fairly heavy going film to watch.

Happy to see Kubica win at Le Mans and get one over the factory Ferraris however I'm slightly raging that I didn't put a bet on the damn thing because I pretty much called it halfway through the race. I'm sure I could have got a respectable amount of money (nothing flashy) on a €2 bet!

Watching the 24 hours of Le Mans....there's something just magical watching this race. This is the 3rd time I'm trying to watch as much as I can from start to finish. If I'm the reason Ferrari keeps winning it, all I can say is I'm sorry!

At least there's the Le Mans race to distract me from the world for a day. It's badly needed.

Laukaus tehtaalla ( Erkko Kivikoski, 1973)
A factory tries to lay off workers but the workers unhappy at the prospect of being let go - which also means moving out from their homes that the company provide - start to unionise and fight back. A tale as old as time but after an initial explosive start

W szponach sexu - the literal translation is "In The Claws of Sex" (Julian Józef Antonisz, 1969). This film is a screwball farce distilled into less than 10 minutes. Quite simply a distant, black haired girl places an ad looking for a man to love. 4 men run the ends of the city to get to her and try

At this point, what else is there to say about Israel that hasn't been said before. They can accuse dissenters as providing blood libel but they're the one going around with blood on their hands telling everyone it's not blood, they've just got tomato ketchup running down their fingers.
Israeli tanks opened fire on thousands of civilians gathered at a distribution site in southern Gaza’s Rafah on Sunday morning, killing at least 31 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office aje.io/xx7980

One of the stills from Jose Benzaref's Anthologie des scenes interdites (1975). I've only got twenty minutes into it but Benzaref's gentle cooing about the censors and the reasons why he had that scene put in, in the first place can get rather monotonous as the scenes hop from one to another.

My other half's been in London for the weekend and I had a bit of an asthma scare. Need to see if I need a new inhaler which is never easy. Fortunately I've a medical card. Later on it sparked off a bit of an anxiety attack. T-shirt felt like it was trapping the heat without allowing me to sweat it

The Benaki Museum (Athina Rachel Tsangari, 2013)
This is supposed to be a promo for the museum itself illustrating its importance and history. With Willem Defoe as narrator. That said, there's something creepy about it that I can't quite put my finger on. For everything else though, it's fine enough

I haven't been around as I've been so exhausted to even think sometimes. Since giving up caffeine I've noticed that it can take me two or three hours just to wake up. Just had a search and find that it's called sleep inertia. Just has the most insane levels of grogginess imaginable.
