And I even heard a guy who swears he has seen a Troll like creature that seemed real to him, as a child running a very high temperature, although he seems to believe even crazier stuff than that as an adult running a normal temperature, these days;-)
I went and saw the movie 'Priscilla'on the weekend and before the movie started a trailer of the new Bob Marley moviewas shown, which got me thinking about an old post I wrote about Bob Marley and David Icke back in 2013 -
I like how Dicktakes the piss out of the greed of modern capitalism and modern technology, and how everyone in the future is trying to milk the last cent out of the consumer ... pretty much like Google and You Tube try to, and greedy podcasters always asking for your donation instead of buying that (probably stale anyway?) cup of coffee, and/or putting up a pay wall, so you have to pay a monthly fee to open the podcast door HAL;-)
I personally don't believe in Yowies or Bigfoots, but I found a create full of NRLYowie eggs on the shelf of my local supermarket and being a bit of a gambler decided to buy one and see if I could land a Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks Yowie first time.
But in the yellow plastic egg was a picture of all 17 Yowies there was to collect, so at least I had an image in my mind what I was after now, as far as the Cronulla-Sutherland Shark Yowie I was after for the next time I went shopping for one.
Just wishful thinking, you say?-)
And as luck, or psychic skill would have it, on my second attempt I placed an image of the Cronulla-Sutherland Shark Yowie I was after in my mind and moved my hand of the top of the dozen or so eggs that were on the top row of the box, and stopped over the top of the one I thought would have the Yowie I was after.
Having just read/listened to H. G. Wells' book'The Island of Dr. Moreau'and watched the two movies of the same name for the first time in my life, it seems rather creepy how far science has come from Wells' day to the year 2024, especially when I think back to 2019 posts I wrote, like this one -
The 1977 filmwas the better of the two films, but still somewhat unfaithful to the book, which is kind of ironic when we hear how unfaithful H.G. Wells was in his marital affairs:-)
I could just imagine Wells writing 'The Island of Dr. Epstein':-P
The 1996 movie was like watching a movie written by someone who had read the book and then licked a toad's back for the DMT trip and then wrote the screenplay.
I'd recommend giving them a watch, if you have read the book, but watch them for free on the internet like I did on You Tube or one of the You Tube knockoff sites.
Whatever you do, don't follow the white rabbit in this movie>;-)
Apparently, the1996 filmwas cursed according to this doco below that I watched. Which just goes to show that sigils can backfire badly ... that's if they even work at all, right Gordo;-)
Well, that's one more book off my must-read list ... before I die:-)
Thank God that'The Invisible Man'didn't make the list ... maybe just some oversight by the editors of 1001 Books ... ?-)
So many books and such little time to read them all, right?-)
I just realized after listening to a free audiobook of 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'that I had bought the book from a secondhand bookstore months ago, plus I see that I have bought two copies of 'What Alice Forgot':-(
Alice isn't the only forgetful person, it seems:-)
UPDATE: February 7, 2024I found this rather recent review in the You Tube above of the book and 3 movie versions.
I also saw inthe news that a tropical cyclone named Kirrily is heading for the Queenslandcoast just in time for Australia Day, and I was wondering how the BOM come up with these names.
Apparently, they have about five lists of names, with the current list showing the upcoming names of future cyclones.
Ironically, after this cyclone passes the next will be named 'Cyclone Lincoln' and then 'Cyclone Megan'.
I wonder if 'Cyclone Megan' (even without the h)will hit Australia or turn out to just be full of hot air?-)
And on the subject of birds, doors and time machines, here is a podcast episode (above) of PKD's that I listened to a while back, since I'm readingPKDstories at present, which Mike might relate to;-)
