> in N-E event, dat = report on th physical sustenance i/U've iNjested ... on th in4m8ion front U/i watched these movies/series thi5 pa5t weak:
- How to Change Your Mind (★★★★)—series adapted from Pollan's b∞k of th same name (witch i/U talked about in post 1033)... mind-blowing how beneficial pyschedelics have proven 2 B 4 such things az D-pression, addiction, etc. yet they remain illegal mo5t everywhere (eXcept D.C.))
- Fantastic Fungi—movie about how cool fungi R + how inner-connnected they = 2 everything
- Norma Rae (★★★)—Sally Fields movie (about textile unions) where every 1 has dirty/sweaty shirts
- Christine (2016)(★★★)—based on true 5tory of Christine Chubbuck ... hard 2 watch knowing th outcome, but @ th same time there shd be a trigger warning
- Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker (★★★)—another movie based on true story, th0 5in¢e U/i ≠ on social media U/i'd never herd of thi5 Kai guy, but good expose of how fucking stupid social media/reality TV is 4 putting this guy in th spotlite
- The Freshman (★★★)—not only did Matthew Broderick get 2 kiss Marlon Brando (on th lips) but he got 2 handle a Komodo dragon (thi5 movie shd have a trigger warning 4 animal cruelty)
- Imitatation Game (★★★★)—movie about Alan Turing, which = 1 of th saddest stories ever... were it naught 4 Turing we might naught B typing thi5 on X computer
- Xiu Xiu (★★★)—also really D-pressing, but good cinematography
- My Cousin Vinny (★★★★)(2nd ⊕ 3rd time)—after all those D-pressing movies wanted 2 watch something lite-hearted + dumb
- Travelin' Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall—CCR dozen't get enough credit, this 5hit = tite + good backstory (narr8ed by The Dude) 2 frame it
- Christine (1983)(★★)—when this 1st came out i/U thought iT sounded stupid + dint see iT but in lite of our theory that cars drive humuns naught other way around U/i wanted 2 watch it
- The Piano Teacher (★★★)(2nd time)—i/U remember thinking X movie = fucked up 1st time U/i saw iT, even more disturbing now ... Y ℝ most French movies over-the-top perVerse?
- movies U/i ab&oned W/o finishing: Force of Evil + Altman's 3 Women
> teXt-wise U/i've been rereading John Cage's Silence > last time i/U red iT = high shcool ⊕ az undergradu8 when U/i focused more on music than writing (although i/U studied math), so U/i = interested 2 see what Cage had 2 say about music (+ mushrooms, #s, buddhism, th i Ching, etc. witch als0 interested us back then, thx in large part 2 Cage), but thi5 time i/U focused more on 4m (th0 Silence ≠ best Cage book 4 dat) > th0 in regards 2 sighlence (Cage's Đ-finining moment = when he went in2 an anechoic chamber + = souprized 2 naught here sighlence but one nervous system buzzing + blood swooshing in ears), intresting 2 think about now W/ constint tinnutus > U/i can't even come close 2 sighlence now, sad > on pg 14 Cage a5ks?
Are you deaf (by nature, choice, desire) or can you hear (externals, timpani, labyrinths in whack)?
> ℝ labyrinths most deaf out uv whack > what wd cage think @ age 50 if he got mineareyes d-zzz?
> i/U mite halve more 2 say about Cage perhaps in next post (now U/i = re-reading I-VI)
