  • For the few people who didn’t already watch it, and the best movie of all time :

    Mad Max: Fury road (2015 ) by Miller .

    This is what film story telling is about: having an entire weird universe told through visual medium. The 1st half hour has mad max gagged and incapable of talking, and it is amazing. Preferably on big screen.

    A gem from the past:

    Taboo(1999), by Nagisa Ôshima,

    a samurai movie with hint of homosexuality. and an ending that can only be understood by paying close attention to the sound off screen.

    A classic:

    Seven samurai(1954), Kurosawa.

    Just enjoy the black and white shot , and immerse in old Japanese culture








  • Claymore:

    2007 anime. From a manga. Women with gigantic swords , the Claymore, fight some sort of demons in a forsaken world. We follow Clare, the Claymore Number 47, the least powerful of them all.

    Every episode has some sort of a twist, with new information about the incredible rich world and lore, and the power and origin of the Claymore. Drawing is captivating, unique, gorgeous. The eyes!

    Way better than Berserker, in the sense, that everything make sense and is foreshadow in Claymore.



  • You’re right people will never ride a horse instead of their car. (Plus it seems horses would be worse for the environment) But the 2k people who own 50% (?) of world wealth have more say on how the resources are used than the 99.99% of other people. And like them those 2k don’t want to ride horses. On the contrary they want to use all the resources for their own benefit. So getting ride of them could allow to implement some sustainable practice they are fighting against.

    But it is a joke in the end: Having 2k oligarchs run over by a trolley wont save the planet. What need to be run over is the system that allow 2k people control the fate of all the others through greed.
