my dad has a weird obsession with irish culture so will watch anything vaguely irish that he's seen in his beloved newspaper or whatever but he also hates anything arty or violent or weird so it's a hilarious situation where he blindly goes off to his one cinema trip of the year to see the lobster or recently banshees of inisherin and is thoroughly disturbed but pretends to be intellectually appreciative like 'yes it was unexpected... meaningful... wasn't too keen to be honest but we loved the scenery, lovely accents"

Quote
I believe such cynicism to be unsound, for the reason that it ignores the strange nature of man. Man needs the intangible. He cannot live by bread alone. He has developed away from the other animals because the non-material fascinated him, because he wanted to understand things which are useless (philosophy), or to make things which are useless (literature and art). Philosophy, literature and art may have begun in magic, and magic may have seemed useful once, but the curious creature continued to pursue them after they had been discredited. He needed the life of the spirit. This may have been a blunder on Man's part, but he has made it irrevocably, and to-day if you give him bread only, he becomes unwell. The intangible has become a stimulant necessary for his physical health. For a proof of this, glance at any close-up photograph of German soldiers and airmen. Observe the expression on their faces. Something is amiss. They are hefty, they may be heroic, they may even look intelligent besides, but they are blank. It is desolating to see such blankness in the eyes of young people even when they are our most dangerous enemies, who would destroy us without mercy if they landed here. It means that they have been cheated of their inheritance by a perverted education, they have been ruined mentally so that they may better spread ruin.
Nordic Twilight by E. M. Forster

Joachim Trier's Cinema of Intimacy The Worst Person in the World, 2021
'A coming-of-age film for grownups who feel like they still haven’t grown up.' Joachim Trier
'This film is sweet and gentle and funny, in ways that are undoubtedly conventional but also very real. It’s the kind of film we’ve all seen done so badly that it’s an unexpected treat to see it done well and to realise that its themes are very important: who do you fall in love with? Who is “the one”? When do you realise that you are just settling?'  Peter Bradshaw
'Anyone with a history of romantic flakiness will be able to both relate and finally forgive themselves at the same time.' Ammar Kalia

Comedy horror There’s Something in the Barn out now
Tumblr media
There’s Something in the Barn is out now! 😱
“When an American family fulfil their dreams of moving back after inheriting a remote cabin in Norway, it’s not long before they encounter the legendary Nordic Barn Elf next door and learn the importance of respecting one’s neighbours - the hard way! “
As dark and funny as last year’s Violent Night, and a twisted alternative to the classic Elf movie, this film is a horror comedy which offers laughs and shocks in equal measure. 
If you need a little horror in your holidays, get your-elf to the cinema!
(P.S. Elves are definitely real)
There’s Something In The Barn is available in UK Cinemas & Digital Download

Garbo's Influence in Hollywood, 1930s
Tumblr media
"When anthropologists of the future lean their beards over cinema's archives, they will find a disconcerting phenomena: they will notice that all female citizens of Hollywood who in the beginning of the XX the century all had different body types from 1931-32 onward suddenly began to look the same. The main characteristics they shared were a more or less combed blondish hair, medium in length and curled inward; fine eyebrows lifted high up to the sky and incredibly long eyelashes.
Other traces in common were a sulking lower lip, and a thinness that might lead one to believe that all the actresses of those days suffered from some unpleasant disorder of the digestive tract. Of course, such a deduction would be false. What really happened can be seen on the pictures (bellow.) The upper row shows them in their golden days of pre-Nordic innocence. But then came Garbo. And the metamorphoses that subsequently took place can be seen on the lower row."
Scanned and quoted from Bronwen Meredith's "Vogue Body and Beauty Book" 1977.

About Tolkien "fans"....
I've spent the last 25+ years studying Tolkien fans. I thought I was indulging in the books and the fantasy lore but, lo and behold, I was mostly interacting with the other fans. And let me tell you something... the bulk of them are assholes.
The first die hard Tolkien fan I met was a boy in my high school freshman English literature class. The year was 1995. We were all assigned to read The Hobbit and, I would have to agree, 14 years of age is the perfect age to get to reading it if you hadn't started it in middle school.
A boy in my class had already read it, plus the LOTR trilogy, as well as The Silmarillion. What ensued for the rest of that semester was this particular boy dominating class discussions and telling everyone else what was going to happen in the book before we'd reached that chapter. This boy wasn't gifted by any means, just a superfan. I found him annoying by the end of the semester. He nearly ruined the book for me.
I loved reading The Hobbit and that assignment inspired me to read the rest of the LOTR books, but I'll never not associate my introduction to Tolkien with the blathering and nerdsplaining of that loud mouthed teenage boy.
Then, in my early 20's, I met a man. We were, well, married in the early 2000's. (It didn't last. We divorced just four years later.)
He was one of those Tolkien fans who had a monopoly on the franchise. Nevermind that I'd also read the books and saw the original trilogy in theaters. He was The Expert on Tolkien mythos, and don't you forget that. Also, I came to learn that he was a huge racist. He kept that reined in around me, letting it gradually bleed out over the years until he finally dropped all pretenses and voiced every racist thought that crossed his mind.
Oddly, his love of Tolkien was intimately associated with his love of Nordic and Anglo culture, coupled with his unfiltered disdain for African American people. He also boasted that he loved Wagner, a notorious anti-semite, and said it was my first name (I was named after a famous european fairytale that was adapted into one of Wagner's operas) that originally drew him to me.
He made black jokes, jew jokes, dropped n-bombs, the list goes on. The more racist he became, the more he revealed other ugly aspects of himself and the less I loved him -- and eventually grew to loathe him. I filed for divorce and that was that. But he was a preachy, die hard, you-don't-know-Tolkien-lore-better-than-me, nordic pride racist.
Odd, considering Tolkien’s revulsion for Hitler. Anyway...
Moving forward, I have spent the last few months in and out of Tolkien discord chats, mainly observing the others chatting. The "fans". Oh they know their lore. Yes they do. They have it memorized like the holy bible. They fight over concepts of if whether or not orcs were corrupted elves or corrupted men. They revere Tolkien almost like a deity. Some of them have this misguided concept that Tolkien lived in "old England", like "ye olde" with that extra "e" on there and everything. But the truth is that Tolkien died literally ten years before I was born and while The Hobbit was being published, the Three Stooges was playing at the cinema.
Point is, their memories of the lore are photographic, pretentiously spelling Sauron's name like "Þauron" and everything, but their memories and concepts of the author are distorted. It almost reminds me of how American nationalists deify the "founding fathers". (Typically to push some outmoded, traditionalist agenda onto the masses by law.)
When I look back on how much of Tolkien’s work that I've read and enjoyed, from The Silmarillion to The Return of the King, and I look at how many of the adaptations I've watched on screen (the cartoons, the live action trilogy, suffered through the Hobbit films, and now I quite enjoy the Rings of Power), I know deep down that I am a fan because I thoroughly enjoy the content that this world of middle earth has inspired. Whether it inspired J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson, or the creators of the cartoons as well as the live action Amazon prime series, this world is rife with storytelling possibilities.
Isn't that what stories become? There are so many variations on folk fairy tales in of themselves. Hell, as I mentioned, I was named after one and then centuries later an anti-semite composed an opera about it! No one begrudged him for that.
Greek myths became cartoons, European fantasy folk tales became mass marketed table top games, and an overwhelming number of Japanese lore has been adapted into manga comics, video games, and anime cartoons.
And this trend of human storytelling and adaptation will continue until the sun swallows us up. Yes it will.
And yet... the "hardcore" Tolkien fanbase... it hasn't changed in my lifetime.
At the end of the day, they are still that 14 year old little boy yelling over the class discussion.
