the curse of adhd:

i will remember with absolute clarity, when the thought strikes me that i have a text to send someone, that this is the fourth time in three days i've attempted to send this specific text

i will forget, in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, that i picked it up intending to send a text

saw traps II and up: preform brain surgery on yourself then eat your own arm then watch your wife be brutally murdered then melt all your skin off with this acid then kill 7 innocent bystanders. you have 45 seconds. now you'll think twice about taking antidepressants.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

going to chb must be crazy like imagine sharing a camp with

-one of the strongest demigods ever who's saved the world like at least 3 times, fought multiple gods & titans and WON (and is a tartarus survivor)

-the literal main architect of OLYMPUS who's also saved the world multiple times (also tartarus survivor)

-THE lord of the wild who's also close friends with the first two (and has helped save the world multiple times)

-an emo kid from the 1930s who again helped save the world and is also a tartarus survivor (TWICE)

-a son of apollo who survived tartarus with nothing but cargo shorts and sheer will (pun intended)

-the main designer and builder for the argo II, also the first hephaestus kid to have fire powers since hundreds of years ago (did i mention killed gaea? no? yeah he did that too)

-a girl who somehow charmspeak-ed gaea into falling back asleep (also side note daughter of super famous actor because why not)

-pretty much everybody is a two-time war veteran

-THE GOD APOLLO who just sometimes comes down to visit in the form of a teenage boy

-did i mention dionysus, god of wine madness and theatre

-also chiron, trainer of pretty much every greek hero ever

Sokka baulked. "I'm not getting on that." "That," said Zuko, "is my baby." Zuko's baby, a fifty foot dragon, huffed. Great white plumes of smoke issued out of his nostrils and buffeted around Sokka. "Play nice, Druk," said Zuko, laughing

Suspicion (1941, Alfred Hitchcock)

26/01/2024

Suspicion is a 1941 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

1938; Seductive playboy Johnnie Aysgarth meets young Lina McLaidlaw on a train in England, coning her to go out with him.

The subject is taken from the novel Before the Fact by Anthony Berkeley Cox, written and published in 1932 under the pseudonym of Francis Iles. RKO had been trying to bring the book to the screen since 1935 and Emily Williams was approached for the screenplay.

Hitchcock hired Samson Raphaelson, a successful collaborator on many of Ernst Lubitsch's film, to write the screenplay.

The part of the male protagonist was entrusted to Cary Grant, in the first of four Hitchcock films he played. The part of the female protagonist was entrusted to Joan Fontaine, in her second film with Hitchcock after Rebecca.

The film was shot entirely in the studio and cost much less than the previous two American films, Rebecca and Foreign Correspondent.

Before the Fact is the story of Lina, who grows up in the countryside in the first decades of the 20th century. Lina and Johnnie spend their honeymoon in Paris, staying in the best hotels and subsequently settle in London, in a large apartment. They leave their expensive London flat and move to Dorset, where they don't know anyone.

In 1943,a group of Italian actors were in Madrid to participate in a Spanish-Italian co-production film, among them Emilio Cigoli, Paola Barbara, Nerio Bernardi, Franco Coop, Anita Farra, Felice Romano; the events of 25 July and 8 September of the same year prevented these actors from returning to Italy.

A representative of 20th Century Fox in Madrid asked the Italian actors, while waiting to return home, to take care of the dubbing of some films of the American company, so that upon the arrival of the Americans in Italy, with the reopening of the cinema market, could be ready for theaters.
