This leftovers site is my most precious place
online. Even if it is being left until last to sort out
Now summer has officially ended - and a glorious
one for me, time to get to work... attempting to make really engaging
several decades of glorious insight – much unusual.
But passing on to my daughter’s generation the GREAT culture - that did insire and enlighten my generation and generations before, is the most important of all projects.
E.G. The films of Chaplin really did boost the Enlightenment.. paved the way for the counter culture and healthy progressive movements of the 60s. Ragged Trousered Philanthropist is said to be majorly influential in overthrowing the aristocratic order and maybe even WON elections for the egalitarians from the 40s...
Many of my cohort we went to see the Three Colours films and came out of the cinema changed.. evolved.
(all of us with a brain cell left know it is in a disatrous state and ONLY truly good art can now pull society out from the worst conceivable dangerous acedia.. ..and that means categorical proof of eco collapse UK last week announcing fist ever 'butterfly emergency'. John Osborne changed society.. as did George Elliot and Mary Shelly.. we have none of these people any more, why we have only sour societies, and no good art at all...
In Europe there is still some finest inspiring real art especially in film - eg Intouchables, and literature...not any more in the UK)
Within this seemingly scrappy site
soon i will add in many recorded talks. Me riffing with others on this mess. And sharing my recommendations in person - usually quite endearingly rudely ..
i make them laugh. Always (except the librarians)
For example with librarians with whom
i will use as opener “ have you read Mars Room.?.[“no”, never] ...well you
should.. RK weaves a tale that is brutal and rather bleak - not my kind of book as i like fluffy life
affirming stuff and all The Russians and all great seditious European lit.. UK can never match) ...HOWEVER
her magnificent poetical magnum opus
contains NO PITY.. thus i learned from her,....we do not learn from the
confected pity of Oliphant et al...”
Most British librarians want me
arrested for such a statement. (Except one Sarah from St Just – the only non
dumbed down librarian of many i have quizzed for years - her god Steinbeck)
I am going to make this site more
dynamic – including 100s of recorded talks about literature especially... and
film especially European art house.
Private real talks letting go all the
way all with women. Most agree with my various takes, below and on my other
sites.
And no sexist nonsense...ONLY a woman
could get away with weaving in the mass murdering nasty bastard’s rather
beautiful sections in her Mars Room...no man would have been allowed by his ed to
pinch bits from the Unabomber...
And George Elliot was by FAR the
bravest writer ever – Silas sticks two fingers up to church, aristocracy, mid
and petty Bourgeoisie ..with genius, at a time when she could have been
cancelled for real... actually stabbed in the back.
