@DannyDrinksWine Many of the chants in the film are from Romanian folk music and come from his time scouting Romania as location for the film which fell apart for various reasons. Any Romanian watching will recognise some common songs eg a traditional NYE song being used as a tribal chant.

Pier Paolo Pasolini on the dreamy nature of "Oedipus Rex" (1967): "I think the Prologue in 'Oedipus Rex' is one of the best things I have ever done. Obviously the evocation of the myth is less inspired and more deliberate. I wanted to re-create the myth under the aspect of a dream: I wanted all the central part of the film (which is almost the whole movie) to be a kind of dream, and this explains the choice of costumes and settings, the general rhythm of the work. I wanted it to be a kind of aestheticizing dream. Maybe the middle part isn’t so good, but I don’t think it’s because we don’t all have the whole myth in us. I wanted to represent the myth like a dream, and I could only present this dream by aestheticizing it; and perhaps this is what is disturbing." ("Pasolini on Pasolini", Oswald Stack, 1969)

I will be back in Budapest in literally one week so if by chance someone who follows me can find them on platform two at Keleti and hold onto them that would be insane.

@DangerKidsBooks I don’t think I’ll be able to persuade my wife! Was perfect city walking weather - 15-18 degrees and the sun shining. Explored a bit around the Corvin university area today sort of by mistake but I’d not been in that area before and it was nice.

@RFN_David Lovely! Will you take in any games? Budapest's weather looks awesome, as always. And up around Keleti's a super spot

@DangerKidsBooks Last time I was here I went to Ferencvaros’ stadium and I have seen the Puskas stadium from a distance, but not been there itself. I’ll be back a week from now for a couple of days that time, so maybe then. Week in Romania first.

🇷🇴 FCSB owner Gigi Becali, a shepherd who became a property tycoon in post-Communist Romania, is one of football's craziest characters. From paintings of himself as Jesus at the Last Supper to kidnap plots and prison time, here are seven standout stories about Becali. THREAD 🧵

Went to a screening in London last week which had a film scholar talking after, and when someone asked for a resource to watch the films of the director in question, he said “I don’t think there is a way to watch them online *legally*, if you catch my drift.”

Piracy discourse has me reminded of the time the Dutch film industry tried suing the government for 1.2 billion euro in "lost revenue" from piracy, and half the country's first response was "I don't think I've ever illegally downloaded a *Dutch* movie..."

I don’t wanna wish the man harm, but if something did happen to his vocal cords I would be ok with it.

Just seen this egregious case of encroachment from Crespo in the 2002 World Cup and could not believe my eyes. How have the refs not seen it?!

Just had nothing about us at all there. Lost every duel high up the field, huge gaps all over and then a massive cockup between Raya and Gabriel. The league is gone, City are flying and we’ve got nothing on the pitch. We’ll lose at Spurs too.
