🎥 Three Thousand Years of Longing, 2022 - ★★★½
Yes, or is it no … not sure. I wanted to love it. But I couldn’t. Except sometimes. You can see that I’m a bit undecided. That’s not going to change.
Oh - and Idris.
‘The Biden Crime Family’ … seriously Rudy?
🎈131/366 I know this has been raised on the past - and the answer is generally way above my pay grade, but thought I would ask again in case there have been any break throughs.
Is there a relatively easy way to add a ‘nested menu’ / drop down item/menu on to the ‘normal’ Micro.Blog menu?
Be a pity if something happened to it? @simonwoods 😂 Thank you

I’m gonna say that even though my ‘pages’ - you know the ‘about’ .. ‘doing’ .. ‘new’ .. ‘using’ .. aren’t ‘done’ - they are clearly done enough to add them to the menu.
🎈130/366 … Cough - no idea how long it has been there @bjhess - but I think that is a first for me. 🙏🏼
Read 🔗 Bob Lefsetz today - with this 🔗URL at the very top of his post. Nice piece. On the click through you see this.
Different chap I know - but I wonder if anyone else has remarked on it.
The Furor and How One Creative Thinker Changed Everything
To catch you up, you might have missed 🔗 📼 this video .. you can see it at the bottom of the page.
When I first saw it, I liked the visual effect - but really - not the message. As I wrote over on 🔗 John’s blog
I saw that vid .. kinda like it .. BUT .. I dunno … destroy everything physical, crush it to nothing ?
Unbeknownst to this bear - a lot of people were of the same opinion. A ‘furor’ indeed.
Anyway, in the comments thread on John’s blog he highlighted 🔗this ’twitter post’ from Reza Sixo Safai. This is the 🔗 tweet
Now on occasions I do pop out from under my rock and have noticed that these days Twitter isn’t a very nice place to go anymore. So - on behalf of you dear reader, I donned my protective suit, sprayed myself from top to bottom, grabbed the video and behold …. With all and every credit to Reza. ’Twitter’ is the only reason I pulled it to be here - because Twitter, so now all can view it - and those with protective clothing can pop over and see for themselves.
My comment cannot be better than this one …
This is unironically one of the cleverest creative feats I have ever seen. To take a widely-publicized, universally panned ad and then turning it into the exact ad that it should have been, communicating the desired message 10000x better.

If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
Now 🎵 THAT is what I call a lineup.
The 2 ‘permanent’ members of the Haiku Hillbillies plus their occasional phenomenal guest guitarist Tom Conway. Right there I miss Maui. And all the more special to be at Ocean Vodka.

📺 A Man In Full
It was only when I got to the end that I discovered it was a series that emerged from a Tom Wolfe novel. This is no ‘Bonfire’ though. Jeff did a good job - but really, not much of a story. The only surprise was the ending. No spoilers - but it wasn’t what I expected - but now you know it is Wolfe - maybe it will be?

🎥 Confess, Fletch, 2022 - ★★★½
I liked Chevy's all those years ago and Mr Hamm did a good job and to the spirit. Put it in the queue - it might appeal one day.
🎥 Page Eight, 2011 - ★★★½
I love Bill Nighy - so I couldn’t give it 3 1/2 (except I could). Not a bad movie by any means - although Bill does seem to have one character that appears in many disparate movies. It’s 13 years old - no idea how I missed it when it came out - except maybe because it is missable? Only for the ardent Nighy fan.

I highlighted too much to even start to choose a great quote. Just read the article .. talking the ‘differalities’ of the 60s to today. Written by a 75 year old Vietnam vet who was awarded the a Purple Heart and came back and joined the peace movement.
🎈128/366 Cards Played
Rafah’s fate hung in the balance on Monday after Hamas said it had accepted a ceasefire-for-hostage deal but Israel responded skeptically and carried out night airstrikes on Gaza’s southernmost city.
… whatever happens now - whatever is said - why on earth would Hamas believe anything being said.
My mum used to tell me that what you say is not important - it is how you act.
Cards Played.
