Watched The Innocents (1961)
We decided to watch The Innocents (1961) for halloween evening film watch last night.
A bit of a left field one, but is considered one of the top horror films.
I thought it was okay. Good creepy vibes throughout and lots of abiguity.
I was surprised when the ending kicked in.
I guess I was expecting more of a gut punch ending or something.
All in all glad I watched it. Its another classic to tick off the list.
happy halloween
Have a happy halloween you lot.
Watched The Wicker Man
Last night I finally got round to watching one of the classic horror films that has somehow been evading me for all this time — The Wicker Man (1973)
Not the apparently-dreadful remake. Oh not the bees.
I loved it.
Despite knowing the ending already, probably through some kind of film osmosis over the years, I still enjoyed it all the way through.
It was wonderfully creepy, occasionally inappropriate and all with a glorious feeling of a creeping dread.
Now thinking back to the film Midsommar, that now feels like The Wicker Man on acid in retrospect.
I should probably rewatch that soon.
Im not going to attempt any kind of analysis, only to log for myself that i saw it.
How that copper got any sleep in that pub bed and breakfast I dont know.
Stop the racists
On my way to get some chips from my local chippy last night, my faith in humanity was restored.
As I sat there waiting for red to turn green, I noticed white spraypainted words written across a sky plus billboard advert.
The first two words I read were “Stop the…” and my eyes immediately rolled in anger, expecting the third word to be “boats”.
However, my mood was immediately shifted when I saw the third word was actually “Racists” with a heart painted next to the whole thing.
“Stop the racists”.
Yes.
To whoever wrote that, Thank You. Let’s have more of it.
My website is now cut off
I’ve decided to bring my website back to a traditional website without all of the “social gubbins”.
I love the IndieWeb, but I just can’t be bothered to jump through the hoops of marking up the posts with the extra classes and fiddling with my theme to make sure other sites can parse it fully.
And the Fediverse. The fediverse is great. It feels like a last ditch effort at having some kind of nice social interactions online. Without all the capitalist bullshit and “influenzers”. (Yes I intentionally spelt it that way)
But I don’t want my website connected to it anymore. I dont want all my posts going out and getting saved in other peoples servers, regardless of how trusted they may be. Especially now big tech is hustling in on the fediverse game.
So this is all there is. A single website, built on ClassicPress, with basically no plugins, with me as the sole author. The author who does not use AI in any stage of this website, or any other website for that matter.
Just me, myself and I. And any of you lovely people who pop by and visit.
Unless you’re a fascist. In which case you can fuck off.
Tata.
Defeated the Yeti in the Ice Palace. R.I.P.
Chilling with the monks in the Barkhang Monestery, Tibet.
Some shots taken in the Tibetan Foothills level of Tomb Raider 2 remastered.
Tricky level this, especially with the dudes on jetskis trying to mow you down.
Another great line-up for this series of Taskmaster.
Been getting back into Tomb Raider 2 via the remaster collection.
The Maria Doria levels were always my favourites.
Something about the isolation deep under the ocean just ticked a bunch of boxes for me.
I took a few shots from The Deck level today.
So activitypub plugin does seem to work with #ClassicPress. I dont see the customization options in a metabox like in gutenberg editor, but I’m not too fussed about that.
