"Locotheo is situated between the Nile and the Brixontes... In these places, great multitudes of elephants are born." Elephant as illustrated in the Marvels of the East, in an early 11th-century scientific collection from Canterbury or Winchester

In the Masnavi, the poet Rumi told a story about a group of men who have never seen an elephant feeling an elephant in a dark room. Outside the room, they come up with completely different descriptions of what the creature looked like, because they had each touched a different bit.

Northern Europe for much of the early Middle Ages was a bit like the "Elephant in a Dark Room" experiment on a massive scale. The cultural impact of Africa and Asia meant that Europeans were aware of stories about elephants. But as this image from England 1000 years ago show, northern medieval artists sometimes had trouble piecing together the descriptions they received.

Date: early 11th century London, British Library, Cotton MS Tiberius B V/1, f. 82r

Just kidding. It was a very, it it was a very thrown together goodbye. -Will

I also think that it's very funny that Shawn's like, really sorry to say goodbye. Like, you could have kept that going for another couple of lines. Like, she's like, come on, Shawn. But it's also like, I, I'm also just Cory refusing to kiss her goodbye. Like what? It's like punishing her for like, she's supposed to feel bad for not being completely irrational about what's going on. Like, I think, I feel like she would press into that. -Rider

I think they're trying to play the finality of if he kisses her goodbye, it's real. -Will

But he's being a total, like, he's turning way. It's just like he's trying to make her feel bad. Like don don't, like why not just there don don't, there's a version of this that's funny. -Rider

Didn't think that either. I didn't think, I didn't think he was trying to make her feel bad. I think he was trying to, it's like, if I don't open my eyes right now, the bad thing in front of me is not actually there.  It's a very kid thing of kid way of doing. So I don't give you this last kiss... -Will

I kind of felt for Cory instead of feeling hurt for instead of feeling put off by him, I felt for him. I felt for someone who's like so in denial...It. He physically can't do it. Yeah. Yeah. And so I kind of, I felt for Corey in this, that, that instead of feeling like, Ugh, what a child. I was like, man, that that's, that's how I know. It's really, this is really hard for him that he's so in denial he can't see it. -Danielle 

Yeah I don't think he was doing it to Topanga. -Will

Yeah, I agree. -Danielle

Yeah. I guess I wish that the Shawn denial was funnier with like, starts in the scene. I wish that it stayed that light. And I wish actually hearing you describe like him closing his eyes and saying, no, no, no, it's not happening. Like, there's a funny, there's a, I think there's a way to make Cory's, you know, denial funny and like, and active. Instead of sort of like intense and like negative and like pissed off. I was just like, I was just like, oh dude. Like, you know, and I didn't understand why Topanga doesn't push him more. Like Topanga should be like, hey, like it's not actually, you know something. Because it, this is about her emotions too, you know. It's like her, she's leaving like her whole life is getting ruined and I don't know. Like, and I think it could have been funny that she's trying to convince him of the reality and he's trying to convince her of his reality. Like that's, that could have been funny. -Rider

Also fake sipping. Ri the the Rider fake sipping. I don't know if you noticed this? Where? Pick it up. Pick it up the glass. -Will

I'm not actually drinking? -Rider 

Not actually drinking. It just, it touches your lips and then comes back down. That's, that's a Riderism I've picked up a couple times. -Willl

Yeah. You gotta figure out how to do business, man. It's so important. I didn't actually notice that. -Rider

But does anybody have any guesses by the way of, of how close you think Chubbies is to the Matthews house? -Will

I mean, it has to be walking distance. Right? -Danielle

That's what I'm thinking. They can walk there, right? -Will

Everybody within walking distance. 'cause then we say Topanga lives around the corner in the two scenes. So I was like thinking. -Rider

So Chubby's is on one side of the train tracks. Cory lives over there. Shawn lives just on the other side of those train tracks. And, and Topanga lives around the back corner from Chubbies. So they're both walking distance. -Danielle

They're all chubbies adjacent. -Will

Correct. -Danielle

The trailer park is right in the middle. -Rider 

But on the other side of the tracks. -Will

watched red riding 1974 exclusively for robert sheehan ( andrew garfield was a great bonus ) and i’m climbing the walls at the lack of BJ content anywhere on the internet, i thought being a misfits fan was tough but this is a new low

talking about him more below

i want to know everything about him and it’s frustrating me that there isn’t even a fandom page 😭 i did find this first revision script in a desperate attempt for more content and i was surprised to find the alley scene is a lot more charged and aggressive than it is in the film

like???? there’s so much tension in the original scene and imagining it like this is something else, eddie doesn’t have to be such an arse though . i know he's stressed out of his mind but come on, it isn't as bad as the section i got from the book though, andrew garfield makes eddie so much more tolerable. i'd love to see them working together more, there's a lot of potential there for development between them, a crime thriller with gay undertones would be so much more enjoyable

there's also this, BJ not smiling in the film is arguably better, but i think it's sweet here anyway, it's actually humiliating BJ's 2 seconds of screen time has effected me this much
