Ridley Scott’s Black Rain has so many things that I love in life. Andy Garcia. Michael Douglas. The Yakuza. Neo-noir. I don’t speak the same language as those who dislike this film. I don’t understand you. Coming in at just over 2 hours, the film’s length & pacing is perfect.

Enjoyed the first episode looking forward to seeing the rest. 🤔#DTFstlouis

That moment in War of the Worlds (2005) when the tripod rises and starts powering up is pure terror. The sound alone rewires the scene. You feel the shift from curiosity to extinction-level threat instantly.

A classic clip from East is East. This is a brilliant film, one of the best. Starring Linda as Ella.

A mystery man who gave the fake identity “Peter Bergmann” came to Ireland to die, after spending his final days meticulously erasing evidence of himself like a Cold War spy.
On Friday the 12th of June 2009, a middle-aged bloke with a thick German accent stepped off the bus from Derry in Sligo. He took a taxi to the Sligo City Hotel and checked in under the name Peter Bergmann, giving an address in Vienna, Austria. Later investigation showed the address was a vacant lot and no EU databases recognised his identity.
Over the next three days, CCTV cameras across Sligo documented a quiet ritual destroying evidence. Bergmann left the hotel thirteen times carrying a distinctive purple plastic bag, bulging as though full. Each time he returned with the bag empty.
Although Sligo town centre has dense CCTV cover Bergmann had an uncanny, or espionage trained, awareness of the surveillance network. He consistently deposited his gear in public bins positioned just outside camera coverage. Not a single object discarded was ever recovered.
On the 15th of June he checked out of the hotel. He visited the post office and bought eight 82-cent stamps and airmail stickers. Assumably he used them but no post from him has ever surfaced. Later that day, he got a bus to Rosses Point. At 11:50pm, a woman noticed him walking along the shoreline, carrying a plastic bag.
The following morning, 16th of June a father and son discovered his body washed up on the beach. He was wearing swimming togs over his underwear. His clothes were folded neatly on nearby rocks. Every identifying label had been removed, from his jacket down to his socks. The stitching had been cut with care. He'd left no wallet or phone or ID.
Initially, Gardaí assumedd he had drowned. But the autopsy told a different story. There was no saltwater in his lungs. Instead, he had suffered a fatal heart attack. The post-mortem examination revealed the poor lad had advanced prostate cancer with bone metastases and had only one kidney. He had also survived multiple previous heart attacks. Toxicology reports showed no medication whatsoever in his system. Not even aspirin. The unfortunate bloke had been dying for some time seemingly choosing to do so without pain relief.
His fingerprints returned no matches. His DNA did not appear in any missing persons database. This isn't really surprising I suppose as there's no reason to think the gentleman had a criminal record. But no family or friends or colleagues came forward. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Sligo Cemetery, attended only by four Gardaí. So who was he?
Some theories are he was a former intelligence operative, maybe old East German, Austrian or Czech. Trained to evade surveillance and dispose of evidence. Or maybe he was simply a private man executing a carefully planned suicide. Faced with terminal illness, he may have chosen Ireland in general and Sligo in particular out of a personal bucket list or for its coastline or just its distance from his personal life.
A more heartbreaking theory is he thought he was sparing his family the burden of watching him die, or of dealing with the financial or bureaucratic aftermath. If so relatives have found him yet and maybe that's as it should be.
