Grickle on Mastodon

As of today it's been exactly 10 years since The Boxtrolls first appeared in theaters. I'm so very thankful for the amazing people I worked alongside with to bring such a bizarre stop-motion vision to life. "It's more Monty Python than Walt Disney" was one reviewer's take on the finished film and if that's how it's remembered I'm definitely A-okay with that!

Today I saw two Love and Anarchy films, and they were both seriously weird. It's great when you walk out of the movie theater into the street and for a while just forget all about the ugliness of society around you, your mind processing all that audiovisual information you were just blasted with. I love this festival.

La bête (The beast)

I don't know what to think of this film. There was a lot of trying to figure out what exactly is happening, and more importantly when. As if in a dream, the film jumped (or did it?) between time, connecting two people, Gabrielle and Louis, wrapping them in a deep love story over space and time. In constant fear of tragedy just around the corner, never quite becoming the love story that you are constantly waiting to happen.

Beautiful filming, great screenplay and lots of mind warping jumps in the story, including some jump scares to keep the audience from getting too comfortable.

Infinite summer

Filmed in beautiful Estonia the film follows two teenagers as they spend their summer holiday at a cottage, catching up on their friendship and the challenges growing up causes. Feeling a loss of connection one of them connects to "Doctor Mindfulness", through an enhanced reality dating app. What they get is not quite what the scruffy mind expanding doctor promised.

There are several layers to this film, and I'm happy I stuck around for the director Q&A to get those clarified. On the one hand we have a teenager growth story, on the other hand we have a scare story of technology going horribly wrong. Or are things going wrong? Or is this a growth story of humanity as well, transcending into something else. Maybe not better, maybe not worse, but different. We are not told, and there probably is no answer.

A soul guide, or passeur d'âmes, is a mystical figure often seen as a bridge between the world of the living and the realm of the dead. This role, though little known, has ancient roots in many spiritual traditions around the world. The soul guide helps the spirits of the deceased cross over peacefully, providing them with a guided transition to the afterlife. This article explores the role of a soul guide, their mission, and the spiritual journey required to fulfill this calling. #weird https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/19211/the-role-of-a-soul-guide-a-spiritual-pathway-to-the-afterlife

Speaking of Mastodon, seen there...

One more take (by cartoonist and moi) on the Arlington Cemetery photo op with Sir #TrumpVirus the Stable Genius...
He does love the flag, does he not? Or maybe it's the optics. (He's so smart! A stable genius!) Or maybe it's scented with BS.

"Boston Strong!" And sane too, it seems, booing JD Vance at a Firefighters' Union (IAFF) Speech

J.D. Vance Booed by Entire Crowd During Dumpster Fire Speech

Vance was brutally burned during a campaign stop, ironically at a firefighters’ union conference.

Like his hero, Sir #TrumpVirus, this fellow shape-shifting creature once again revealed his lack of soul, and abundance of #weird.
Lowlights included the usual stilted #GQP #disinformation, citing statistics leaving out Boston, and awkwardness speaking 'human'.

The article notes both the loud booing, his feeble efforts to seduce the crowd, and his inability to think/talk/live off-script.
For me a bit of context & "contrast/compare": I caught highlights of the same audience being addressed the day before by Tim Walz - a lot of love & respect there for him, and he hit all the right notes on labor and service, and even noted the firefighting tradition in Kamala Harris' family. I'd say Walz hit a near-perfect 10 (as he does) while the #VanceVirus stench the next day was foul & fetid.

The #theory of #recentism, also known as the revised #history theory, is a controversial hypothesis that suggests conventional historical timelines are fundamentally flawed and that historical events as we know them occurred much more recently than generally believed. This theory has been popularized by several researchers and writers, most notably Anatoly Fomenko, a Russian mathematician who has developed complex and detailed arguments supporting this reassessment of historical time. #strange #weird https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/19109/the-theory-of-recentism-a-reassessment-of-history

Alain Robert, known as the "French Spiderman," is a legendary figure in the world of urban climbing. Born on August 7, 1962, in Digoin, France, he is renowned for his daring, free solo ascents of some of the world's tallest skyscrapers and urban structures, all without the aid of ropes or safety harnesses. This extreme practice, while extraordinary, is also illegal in many instances, but that has never deterred Robert from pursuing his passion for climbing. #weird #spiderman #incredible #climbing https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/19104/alain-robert-the-french-spiderman
