Memoir of a Snail?🎥✍🐌🎬🦉

I was booked in to get my Lions tattoo done yesterday and decided that I would see a movie at the cinema near the tattoo shop after I had had it done.

There were only two choices for me really, 'Smile 2' and 'Memoir of a Snail'.

The 2024 AFL Grand Final Line Up Sure Brings a Smile to My Face?😁

I thought maybe I should see this movie another day:-)

I had decided the night before when looking up the times the movies were on at the cinema that I would probably go see 'Smile 2', but the morning I was about to set off to go get my tattoo done I was listening to Mike Clelland's latest podcast interview, and he mentioned seeing a snail trail that looked like an owl. 

So, I changed my mind and decided on 'Memoir of a Snail' instead of 'Smile 2'.

What Does It Mean When You See An OWL? 🦉👀

This was the final session for 'Memoir of a Snail' run crawl at Vic Point, so if I wanted to see it later, I would have see it at another cinema in Brisbane. 

If I hadn't had heard Mike mention seeing a snail form an "owl" with its trail in that podcast I'd listened to that morning I would have picked 'Smile 2' to see.

I bought a ticket to 'Memoir of a Snail' then had lunch before seeing the movie.

Even the carpet in cinema 4 had snail like patterns to my eyes, which reminded me of the one and only time so far that I've eaten snails, which I wrote about in this old post -

Fibonacci, French Food and Synch?

The funny thing was that there was nearly as many apple images in this movie as snails -

The Apple as a Symbol of Forbidden/Secret Knowledge? 🍎🍏

The Collective Unconscious in the New Movie DREAM SCENARIO?🎥 💤😴🛌😪🎬

I enjoyed this movie, as being an Australian and growing up around a similar time frame as the director/writer of this movie, there is a lot of nostalgic elements that overseas audiences won't pick up on. 
And the same with the Aussie locations and landmarks featured in this film, such as the Canberra pool scene with the Telstra Tower on Black Mountain in the distance -

Black (Iron Prison?) Mountain

I just don't think overseas audiences (especially American audiences) will get the movie like Australians will.

I actually had a chance to see a Q&A screening with Adam Elliot the director/writer of the movie at a Brisbane cinema about two weeks ago, which I had planned on going to, but the stars just didn't line up at the last moment for me.

And I had planned on seeing it at a Logan City film festival before that, but same story. 

I guess I have Mike Clelland the "Owl Guy" for finally twisting my arm to go and see it yesterday, not that he really had anything to do with the film or even knows the movie exists.

It's those darn owls that he hangs around with that were responsible for drawing my attention to seeing this film and I'm glad the "universe" steered me in that direction yesterday:-) 

It's a film I'll be seeing again to freeze frame to see all the stuff I missed ... including any owls and aliens ... which I don't recall seeing anyway:-)

8 out of 10 for me too for this movie, because snails could form a sideways 8 (the infinity symbol) in their trails even if they can't travel backwards:-)

Late Night with the Devil ... and Owls?🌃🦉😈😇

What is it with owls and snails?

And the Devil?-)

The Bridge Across Forever to the One?

Late Night with the Devil ... and Owls?🌃🦉😈😇

I got a 7-day free trial with SHUDDER to watch 'Late Night with the Devil' and then cancelled it after watching it twice.

I had already seen this movie at the cinema earlier this year and love it more every time I watch it.

Late Night with the Devil?🌃📺👺👻

I remember thinking when I saw the movie at the cinema how good it would be to slow the film down and write a post about all the owl imagery for "The Owl Guy" Mike Clelland:-)

'Late Night with the Devil' is just one great piss-take on the hypnotic power of mediums like TV and the mediums and the debunking "sceptics" on TV trying to prove those mediums of being frauds.

Jordan Peterson the Culture Warrior?

Edition number 237?!

Hey, didn't President Carter see a UFO?

Jimmy Carter UFO incident?

The movie also tries to tie owls to Satanic worship and secret societies such as Bohemian Grove and to anyone who has set foot in "The Grove", as if they have made some kind of Faustian bargain with The Devil by taking part in a weekend retreat there. 

The book in the movie pictured above, sounds very similar to a bestselling "New Age" novel called "Conversations with God" to me:-)

And of course, the possessed girl is named Lilly, which is kinda short for Lilith I would imagine?

Lilith?

Isn't the left side of the body associated with the devil?-)

And was the actress who plays Lilly (Ingrid Torelli) selected because of those green eyes?

Green eyes are usually associated with everything from witches to woo-woo types to hybrid aliens in storytelling myths, but having green eyes myself maybe there is some truth to the rumours;-)

And I like how Lilly's shrink tries to use the "evil eye" amulet against those powerful green eyes of her's:-) 

New Thinking Allowed: The Amazing Randi and American "Skepticism"?

The Amazing Randi?

Watch your TV screens carefully?-)

And remember what I wrote about worms and the Gnostics in this recent post -

The Apple as a Symbol of Forbidden/Secret Knowledge ? 🍎🍏

The Amazing Randi lookalike skeptic puts the Catholic guy under hypnosis to show his fear of worms to the audience who are also mostly under:-) 

So, what's the difference between stage hypnosis and "real" hypnosis I wonder?

And SPOILER ALERT ... The Amazing Randi lookalike skeptic turns out to be a closet Satanist in the end ... or his end:-)

I don't believe in such an entity such as Satan, but I'm certainly not an atheist.

SPOILER ALERT ... SO DON'T LOOK AT THIS NEXT FRAME

And I have to mention that I was in the middle of writing this post up last night but couldn't stay awake.

I woke up this morning and "The Owl Guy" had dropped his latest podcast onto the Apple Podcast list overnight (above), and as I was halfway through listening to that podcast episode this morning, I read the news of Terri Garr's passing -
