I bought Victoria's book back in 2014 through Amazon after listening to her on a '42 Minutes' podcast but have not read the book until this year, because of a series of personal synchronicities.
I now see that the book has a rating of 4.24 on the Good Reads site, so there is another personal WTF messages for me:-)
Her book turned 20 in 2023 by the way.
The Secret Life of Puppets and AI?π€π±π²
I actually watched two different versions of 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' last night, because I had read in a recent newspaper article (pictured above) that researchers have identified a new area (for them that is) of the brain which deals with rhythm perception, by hooking electrodes to subjects brains and playing Pink Floyd's 1979 track 'Another Brick in the Wall'.

One of those movies mentioned by Victoria in the book is the 1920 German movie 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari', which I watched for free last night on You Tube.

Jesus ... Not Another LEGO Movie!?
One version of the 1920 movie which I watched first, had a modern jazz soundtrack and English title cards and writing throughout the movie, which I really liked (above).
The other version I think had the original score written for the movie and title cards written in German (above) and since I can't speak or read German fluently, I was glad I watched the English version first, so I know what the German titles meant.
Weirdly, I went to bed after midnight and was trying to find through Apple Podcasts search feature any recent podcasts the "Owl Guy" might have been on recently and a list of episodes came up including the one from the 'Paranormal Thoughts' podcast I had written a post about -

"Barbara is a given name used in numerous languages.
It is the feminine form of the Greek word barbaros (Greek: Ξ²Ξ¬ΟΞ²Ξ±ΟΞΏΟ) meaning "stranger" or "foreign".
In Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox tradition, Saint Barbara (Greek: αΌΞ³Ξ―Ξ± ΞΞ±ΟΞ²Ξ¬ΟΞ±) was imprisoned in a tower by her father.
In Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox tradition, Saint Barbara (Greek: αΌΞ³Ξ―Ξ± ΞΞ±ΟΞ²Ξ¬ΟΞ±) was imprisoned in a tower by her father.
She was then martyred by her father when she refused to renounce Christianity.
According to legend, her father was then punished with death by lightning.
As such, Saint Barbara is a protectress against fire and lightning. "
"Early Christians occasionally referred to themselves as "barbarians" in opposition to the pagan Romans and Greeks.
The story of Saint Barbara is said to have been an inspiration for the fairy tale Rapunzel and other European stories that feature a maiden in a tower."
