James Joyce - "Ulysses"

that podcast... amazing.

buck: originally not the gracious male deer, but a buck goat...

"sat down in a pet"... they are being like a pet, you need to "pet" them, to show them affection

"kip": very Dublin slang, originally Danish, "kipper" - low pub where hookers used to hang out.
"what kind of a kip is this"

"when I makes tea, I makes tea! When I makes water, I makes water! but not in the same pot!"


The Rover

Amazing Australian dystopic story of a man whose car get stolen after The Collapse. Packs quite a punch near the end. Sad, dreadful, amazing. Him of the Twilight Films, it seems, but an amazing performance as Rey, the not-completely-full-witted brother who is left for dead

I Don't Feel At Home in this World Anymore

Sad nice story about a girl (unknown, but just as good as Elijah Wood) who accepts all the bad things life throws at her... until no more. Elijah Wood plays a silly almost Coen-brother-esque tough-guy-who-isn't. All ends well.

Still, a good movie.

Elektrokiss - "The Teacher (Slap Me Like A Bitch) (Timofey Remix)"

Amusing song. Something for a gray list?

Barclay James Harvest - "She Said"

She said, "Why don't you come and stay with me
Far away from people we know?
We could live our lives together
Happiness wherever we go"
And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

Wasn't long before she grew tired of me
And the life she thought would redeem
All the love she'd thrown away as a child
All the things she thought she had seen

And I will always love her
And I will always care
And I will always love her

BlacKkKlansman

Amazing film by Spike Lee about a black agent going undercover in the KKK. The end packs quite the punch, splicing it with Charlotteville footage.
