I like the IV of CupsRWStarotcard, not because I see it as the universeoffering another one for the road, but for its depiction of the universe offering an opportunity from out of the blue, like a cosmic thought bubble.
Funny thing is that I'm stuck on the4 of Cupsin my study of the tarotminor arcana, as I can't decide whether to study the cards in sets of numbers or suits?
Mikhail Gorbachevwas a big "factional" character in Malachi Martin's novel 'Windswept House: A Vatican Novel' which I only read this year and listened to the book-club sessions in the You Tubes below, and have written multiple posts about reading the book, such as this one -
I never knew until today that there was a'Spirit of Devonport'ferry until I read the news today, otherwise I would have went on it back in 2016 when I caught the'Spirit of Tasmania'across to Tasmania and back:-(
I used to think Chris KNOWleSat'The Secret Sun'was a fairly smart guy, but now I have to admit that maybe he has lost the plot, much like this guy at 'My Family Thinks I'm Crazy'blog who is interviewing him in the latest podcast episode.
As entertaining as these guys can be at times I can't help wondering if they aren't trying to start their own cults?-)
And I'm amazed at how two guys like these can take a word like "synchromysticism" and twist it to their own way of deluded thinking:-)
But, hey you know what I think now … don't you?-)
Just because you can connect a few dots doesn't make you Vincent van Gogh… or maybe it does?-)
Sad news with the death of three people in a plane crash west of Brisbane, including ChrisHemsworth's helicopter pilot Gary Liehm, which reminds me of this old post I wrote where Chris picked up a hitchhiker in Brisbane and flew him down to Byron Bay in a helicopter with him and his mate -
I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert(I hate the wordexpert to be honest, because I've never met one … or know of any living on this planet) on Jordan Peele's reason for referencing the 2001 made (released in 2002 though) movie 'The Scorpion King', but it ain't because there are no horses used in the movie.
Maybe Jordan is using 'The Scorpion King'to highlight Dwayne Johnson's $5.5 million $alary made the Guinness Book of Records for the highest salary for a first-time leading man?
Or "in 1995 Egyptologists discovered a 5400-year-old limestone carving in Egypt known as the "Scorpion Tableau." It depicts the victory of a ruler called the Scorpion King in a battle that unified Upper Egypt, which was a prelude to the complete unification of Upper and Lower Egypt by Narmer, the first Pharaoh of Egypt. This film is a fictionalized depiction of a historical event about which very little is known. Some historians believe that Narmer, the first Pharaoh, was himself TheScorpion King."
Or maybe it was because …
Vince McMahon is an executive producer only because the film used Dwayne Johnson's ring name "The Rock," which McMahon owns.
WOW!Vince has 543 producer credits on his IMDB page?!
It looks like no man, or woman is a Rock… or an island inHollywood … or this planet for that matter;-)
When I stayed to watch right through the credits of 'NOPE'the first time I saw it at the cinema to see if there were any of those end of credit Easter eggs that a lot of movies tag on to the very end of the film, I thought the Jupiter's Claim ride at Universal was just a piss take, but … NOPE … it's real apparently:-)
If Jordan Peele is looking for an idea for a 'NOPE' sequel he should have the Haywoods plus Angel selling their story to Hollywood to make a movie out of their story and another UFO shows up to try to consume them and the skeptical filmmakers while filming the movie at the ranch… and the Haywoods could even have their own You Tube show called "Haywoods Say NOPE";-)
I liked this'Connecting with Coincidence' podcast episode above, where Bernie talks (sometimes like a duck) with Josh Silver, as I had a few personal meaningful coincidences myself while listening to this episode.
I was listening to this podcast episode on my iPad in bed with a signed poster on my bedroom wall behind me of the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' which I got from a 50th anniversary screening in my hometown -
Daisy is the song sung by HAL the computer as Dave Bowman shuts it down.
I also live on the Daisy Hill side of the Daisy Hill State Forest, which has a walking track that comes out to a Buddhist temple that has a duck pond near it:-)
Having just read the 100-year-old Hermann Hessenovel'Siddhartha'and written a post about it, I foundthisYou Tube amusing and enlightening at the same time:-)
I don’t think I’ve ever watched‘2010:The Year We Make Contact'because I never liked the trailer and because Stanley Kubrick wasn't the director, plus I never saw the need for a sequel to '2001', just because Clarke wrote a heap of books after '2001' was released.
BecauseHyams was interviewed by Ezra Edelman in the latter's documentary O.J.: Made in America, which touched on Hyams' former friendship with O. J. Simpson, whom he had directed in Capricorn One.
In his interview, Hyams revealed his initial belief that Simpson was innocent of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friendRon Goldman, but began to have doubts following the revelation of DNA evidence that suggested otherwise.
He appeared in 40 of the shorts between 1939 and 1944, eventually becoming the series' final lead character. Blake's parents also made appearances in the series as extras. In Our Gang, Blake's character, Mickey, was often called upon to cry, for which he was criticized for being unconvincing. He was also criticized for being obnoxious and whiny. In 1942, he acquired the stage name"BobbyBlake" and his character in the series was renamed "Mickey Blake." In 1944, MGM discontinued Our Gang, releasing the final short in the series, Dancing Romeo. In 1995, Blake was honored by the Young Artist Foundation with its Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award for his role in Our Gang.
