@DannyDrinksWine Greatest action film ever.

William Friedkin on Henri-Georges Clouzot's "'The Wages of Fear" (1953): "I had seen 'The Wages of Fear' (1953) back in Chicago before I ever became a film director. I loved the film, as well as Clouzot’s other masterpiece, 'Diabolique' (1955). I came back to it about two or three years after I finished working on 'The Exorcist' (1973). It then just occurred to me that 'The Wages of Fear' was kind of a timeless theme. It was about four strangers who didn’t like each other. They were all imprisoned by their own sins, and they had to either cooperate with one another in order to survive, or blow up. It seemed to me that that was a metaphor for the world at that time, and even more so now." (William Friedkin's interview with Matthew Steigbigel, The Credits, 2013) P.S: On this day, 73 years ago, 'The Wages of Fear' (1953) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962) The best day-for-night shot in cinema history. Cinematographer Freddie Young underexposed the film and used military aerial reconnaissance filters + ND filters to help craft this shot.

@ClaudiaWebbe What? Only two embarrassed-looking cops? Why not the riot squad Keir? Send in the bloody troops! This guys is clearly a massive danger to the peace and safety of the UK. Think big Keir!

If this is Britain’s idea of the terrorist threat, then British counter-terrorism has lost all connection to reality.

보편적 인권을 강조한 이재명 대통령의 발언에 대해 “용납할 수 없다”고 응수한 이스라엘 정부측에 깊은 유감을 표합니다. 반만년의 역사 속에서 수많은 외침과 국권 상실의 아픔까지 겪은 우리 국민은, 지난 세기 이스라엘 국민이 겪은 참혹한 고통에 대해 충분히 공감하고 이해하고 있습니다. 그러나 그 어떤 이유로도 정도를 벗어난 반인륜 행위가 정당화될 수는 없습니다. 이러한 행위가 지속되며 그 여파가 우리 국민에게까지 미치고 있는 상황을 결코 좌시할 수 없습니다. 피해의 기억이 또 다른 가해로 이어지는 증오의 연쇄에서 이스라엘이 하루빨리 벗어나기를 촉구합니다. 아울러, 정략적 목적을 위해 사태의 본질을 흐리거나 일방의 입장을 두둔하는 국내의 움직임 또한 자제되어야 할 것입니다. 기획예산처는 대한민국의 미래를 설계함에 있어 민생과 국익을 최우선 가치로 삼되, 보편적 인권이라는 인류 문명의 근간을 결코 놓치지 않을 것입니다. n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/…

In QLD, a police officer can say "choke this c*nt out" but a student can't wear a t-shirt that says "from the river to the sea".

Tomorrow the Press Club platforms Israeli Ambassador Hillel Newman who questioned whether 165 people killed in an Iranian school strike were actually there. It's not even listed on their website. Many who've long argued Australian media is biased will see this as proof.

Dear Prime Minister: We Can Still Be Norway - Norway: $16,300 per citizen from oil and gas. Australia: $50. Beer drinkers pay more tax than our entire offshore gas industry. Treasury confirmed it in Senate estimates. The minerals under our soil, the gas in our waters - these are not the property of BHP, Woodside or Japan-owned INPEX. They are ours. They are the commons. And right now they are being extracted for next to nothing while ordinary Australians pay the price in energy bills, rent and HECS debt. That $90 billion gap is free universities. Universal childcare. Dental care in Medicare. Renewable energy that cuts our power bills. Public housing. This is not fantasy. This is what Norway bought with the money we are giving away. The majority of Labor, Greens, One Nation and independent voters all support a proper gas tax. This is not a fringe idea. It is what Australians actually want. The Senate numbers are there. The May budget is the moment. #TaxTheGas #AustraliaNorwayNow #auspol Read, write, sign. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/suebarrett… @spenderallegra @DavidPocock @AlboMP @JEChalmers @deniseshrivell @aaronsmith @Mon4Kooyong @zalisteggall @CommunityIndeps @helenhainesindi @ChaneyforCurtin @Nicolette_Boele @zdaniel @WilkieMP

@chris_kratovil It's a bit like Donald Trump dancing and you saying, wow, this guy is so cool - he has another side to him. Remembering some ancient Latin can only be impressive to an American.

It’s not every day that one gets to listen to a former British Prime Minister recite from memory the opening passages of The Iliad in Ancient Greek, with no notes, in response to a random question from an undergraduate—and all while wearing what appear to be Thomas The Tank Engine socks. But today was one such day. My thanks to my good friend Brad LaMorgese for the opportunity to see the colorful and comic Boris Johnson speak tonight at the University of Dallas.

In 1969, Jethro Tull delivered an electrifying rendition of “Bourée” on the French television show La Joconde. The performance reimagined Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Bourrée in E minor” as a swinging, flute-driven exploration that defied genre and era alike.
