America owes its independence to Haym Salomon, a Sephardic Jewish Patriot
youtube
A Jewish American Hero
by Yosef Kaufmann
October 17, 1781. An eerie silence takes hold over the battlefield outside Yorktown, Virginia. After weeks of non-stop artillery shells and rifle fire, the rhythmic pounding of a drum is all that is heard. Through the wispy smoke that floats above the battlefield, a British officer can be seen waving a white flag. General Cornwallis has surrendered Yorktown, ending the last major battle of the American Revolution. The surrender of Yorktown and the nearly 8,000 British troops convinced the British Parliament to start negotiating an end to the war. On September 3, 1783, the treaty of Paris was signed. The war was over.
If not for Haym Salomon, however, the decisive victory at Yorktown never would have happened.
Haym Salomon was born in Leszno, Poland, in 1740. In 1770, he was forced to leave Poland for London as a result of the Partition of Poland. Five years later, he left London for New York City, where he quickly established himself as a broker for international merchants.
Sympathetic to the Patriot cause, Haym joined the New York branch of the Sons of Liberty, a secret society that did what it could to undermine British interests in the colonies. In 1776, he was arrested by the British and charged with being a spy. He was pardoned on condition that he spend 18 months on a British ship serving as a translator for the Hessian mercenaries, as he was fluent in Polish, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Italian. During those 18 months, Haym used his position to help countless American prisoners escape. He also convinced many Hessian soldiers to abandon the British and join the American forces.
In 1778, he was arrested again and sentenced to death for his involvement in a plot to burn the British Royal fleet in the New York Harbour. He was sent to Provost to await execution, but he managed to bribe a guard and escape under the cover of darkness.
He fled New York, which was under the control of the British army, and moved to Philadelphia, the capital of the Revolution.
He borrowed money and started a business as a dealer of bills of exchange. His office was located near a coffee house frequented by the command of the American forces. He also became the agent to the French consul and the paymaster for the French forces in North America. Here he became friendly with Robert Morris, the newly appointed Superintendent of Finance for the 13 colonies. Records show that between 1781 and 1784, through both fundraising and personal loans, he was responsible for financing George Washington over $650,000, today worth approximately over $13 million.
By 1781, the American congress was practically broke. The huge cost of financing the war effort had taken its toll. In September of that year, George Washington decided to march on Yorktown to engage General Cornwallis. A huge French fleet was on its way from the West Indies under the command of Comte De Grasse. The fleet would only be able to stay until late October, so Washington was facing immense pressure to lead an attack on Yorktown before then.
After marching through Pennsylvania, with little in the way of food and supplies, Washington’s troops were on the verge of mutiny. They demanded a full month's pay in coins, not congressional paper money which was virtually worthless, or they would not continue their march. Washington wrote to Robert Morris saying he would need $20,000 to finance the campaign. Morris responded that there was simply no money or even credit left. Washington simply wrote, “Send for Haym Salomon.” Within days, Haym Salomon had raised the $20,000 needed for what proved to be the decisive victory of the Revolution.
Haym’s chessed continued after the war. Whenever he met someone who he felt had sacrificed during the war and needed financial assistance, he didn’t hesitate to do whatever he could to help.
He was also heavily involved in the Jewish community. He was a member of Congregation Mikveh Yisroel in Philadelphia, the fourth oldest synagogue in America, and he was responsible for the majority of the funds used to build the shul’s main building.
He also served as the treasurer to the Society for the Relief of Destitute Strangers, the first Jewish charitable organization in Philadelphia.
On January 8, 1785, Haym died suddenly at the age of 44. Due to the fact the government owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars, his family was left penniless.
His obituary in the Independent Gazetteer read:
Thursday, last, expired, after a lingering illness, Mr. Haym Salomon, an eminent broker of this city, was a native of Poland, and of the Hebrew nation. He was remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession, and for his generous and humane deportment. His remains were yesterday deposited in the burial ground of the synagogue of this city.
Although there is little proof, many believe that when designing the American Great Seal, George Washington asked Salomon what he wanted as compensation for his generosity during the war. Salomon responded “I want nothing for myself, rather something for my people.” It is for this reason that the 13 stars are arranged in the shape of the Star of David.

is there like a jester ocs 101 i do wanna learn about them
Putting these under a read more because this might get long
My family :)
Edward Roberts-Rosales: I made too many jokes about this bastard being my dad and now he's my dad. High key wants to fuck plants. Evades taxes like no ones business. Kind of a shit guy but it's funny to watch him mess up everything so we keep him alive for that alone Max Rosales: My better dad. Can really do so fucking much better than Edward but he settled </3. Is a plant man. Likes baking. Is the dad that actually loves me. Heron Rosales: I don't do to much with her but I'm trying to do more. Max's trans sister. Wants Edward dead and honestly, we don't blame her. Average chronic pain haver tbh please get her some Ibuprofen. Boaty McBoatface: My brother who is a boat. Edwards favorite son, despite being terrified of being on boats after he was the sole survivor of a ship wreck. I fuckinh hate this thing
Project Moon adjacent ones
Despise Domek (Or just Des): Local Enkphalin hooked rat. Goes by it/they but people close to it can call them she/her. There are two remaining people who can call them she/her. Steals things from people it likes to keep a piece of them, so don't invite them to your house. Things WILL go missing. Says the phrase "Well it didn't kill me so I'm fine" way to god damn often. Ambrose Domek: Not actually related to Des at all his parents just stole Des's parents last name. We heart religious fanaticism to the point of self harm!!!!!! Has two boyfriends and has convinced himself neither of them like him. Him and Des are besties :) Keith: Real Jester-heads remember Keith. I made this bastard before Ruina came out and he keeps fucking staying relevant to whatever game is out. How does he do it. Lobcorp him is Geb and Myo's adopted son, a Rabbit, and had a complex where he's gotta prove himself 24/7 and ends up getting his leg ripped off. Ruina him is trying to find Gebura again after the whole Library situation happened, and is wildly distraught after learning Myo's whole deal. Limbus Keith is content, much older, runs a weapons shop, and is gay married to Heathcliff. Jesus Christ I made him before the new translation of Lopcorp happened I think HOW LONG HAS HE EXISTED WHAT THE FUCK
Damien Domek: Also not related to Des, just took it's last name because he liked it. They are qprs though. Also is broke as shit but mostly stays out of the Rat lifestyle by just old fashioned robbing people. Loves lying to people for fun and profit, but he is honestly a pretty nice guy. Minus the lying
Randos
Arlo: Disgusting rancid cyborg scientist who needs to bathe and touch grass. I adore him though. Ellie: Arlos little sibling. She/they user. Kills people for money and feeds the bodies to the eldritch horror that follows her around Hector: The eldritch horror that follows Ellie around. usually just looks like a dilf tbh its easier for Ellie to explain. Can't actually speak so he usually just talks telepathically while making a bunch of hums, chirps, and clicks to mimic speaking.
Oleander: Local unethical scientist that unethicaled a bit too hard when trying to revive his even worse older brother and turned off most of his emotions manually to avoid coping with the mental toil. Sad! Many such cases. Can't feel any emotions other then joy now. Kinda sucks but he certainly doesn't seem to upset about it :)
Simon: Oleadners brother. Kinda. Moreso a robot piloting Oleanders brothers body. Fucking hates Oleander but after Oleander lobotomized himself Simon begrudgingly takes care of him now. Despite his complicated feelings, he's wildly overprotective.
Cybel: A robot Oleander made! They are meant to gather as much information as they possibly can in case some horrible event happens that kills off humanity. is quite literally indestructible. Likes ice cream.
Octavius: I made this guy to be a danganrompa villain back in high school and I succeeded too well. I fucking hate this fake ass bitch
Tabb: This fucking guy. Trapped in a time loop but he doesn't know and its technically not a time loop. Met his (now) husband ages ago but died shortly after meeting him, so he revived Tabb, then the two got married, then Tabb died again so Halt (the husband) revived him again but he lost his memories then halt died and Tabb revived him the Tabb died again so Halt revived him but he lost all his memories so they dated again and got remarried then Tabb died again and you get the idea. Very nice guy, a bit anxious, perfectly normal minus the dying thing. If it wasn't for him losing all his memories and Halt tampering with shit so he was in love with him i uh. Don't think he'd actually like Halt all that much tbh
Halt: Just wants to be happy with his husband :(. Sad he unethicaled all over that science. Hey are you noticinga theme here. Also he's a cat boy but thats really not relevant to his depression issues
Urge: Halts kinda milfy twin sister. Really sick of all of this loop bullshit because she gets to watch her bestie Tabb die repeatedly, so she packed up her bags and left. Can't be in the same room as Halt without them getting into a fist fight. Do you see the themeing with their namesan d their ideals. Halt is kinda halted in place but Urge keeps pushing forward because she has the urgeto move on. Do you see it. It is almost 1 am
Russel: A kid that got roped into this whole mess because he walked in on a Tabb revival tube without permission. Sticks around Urge most of the time. Had a bad homelife to put it mildly, so Urge took him in.
Theres way more of these bastards but these are the most relevant ones. I am going to bed now. Goobnight

THE BEST WRITTEN SONGS OF ALL-TIME
Because I have zero innate musical ability, the idea that someone can sit down with a musical instrument, and create an original song out of thin air is magic to me. Songwriting is a craft, but it’s inspiration that makes a good song into a great one. There are songwriters who seem able to turn out high quality songs in perpetuity. There are others who write maybe one or two great songs, and are never heard from again. So, I made a list of what I think are the 50 best written songs I’ve ever heard. These are in no particular order. I’ve listed the title followed by the songwriter or songwriters, and in parentheses is the performer I most enjoy hearing do the song – although most of these songs have been recorded countless times by a variety of artists. You can probably find all of these on YouTube or any of the streaming services. Most have lyrics, but some do not. But, it’s hard for me to imagine any of these songs being recorded by anyone with talent, and not retaining the brilliance with which the song was written.

Dread by the Decade: The Leopard Man
👻 You can support me on Ko-Fi! ❤️
★★
Plot: After a performing leopard escapes from a club, several young women in a small town are found mauled to death.
Review: A step down from Tourneur's prior work, this generic whodunit is as predictable and dull as it is uneven.
Source Material: Black Alibi by Cornell Woolrich Year: 1943 Genre: Psychological Horror, Mystery Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 6 minutes
Director: Jacques Tourneur Writers: Ardel Wray, Edward Dein Cinematographer: Robert De Grasse Editor: Mark Robson Composer: Roy Webb Cast: Jean Brooks, Dennis O'Keefe, Margo, James Bell, Isabel Jewell, Tuulikki Paananen
-----
Story: 2/5 - Unfocused and low energy, its point-of-view shifts awkwardly between flat characters. Its twist is so obvious it can barely be called one at all.
Performances: 2.5/5 - Brooks and Margo are charming, but Bell's delivery is stilted and amateur.
Cinematography: 3.5/5 - A few truly dynamic shots. Still, not as engaging as some of Tourneur's other films.
Editing: 3/5 - Occasionally lacking in flow.
Music: 3.5/5 - The shifting of castanets from diagetic to nondiegetic within the soundtrack is unique.
Effects & Props: 3/5
Sets: 3/5 - Nothing terribly memorable, but diverse and fairly realistic.
Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3.5/5
youtube
Trigger Warnings:
Mild violence
Brownface
Child death (offscreen)
Animal death (offscreen)

I.8.3 How were Spanish industrial collectives organised?
Martha A. Ackelsberg gives us an excellent short summary of how the industrial collectives where organised:
“Pre-existing structures of worker organisation made possible a workers’ take-over of much of the industrial economy, especially in Catalonia … Factory committees formed to direct production and co-ordinate with other units within the same industry. Union organisations co-ordinated both the production and distribution of manufactured goods across industries and regions … In most collectivised industries, general assemblies of workers decided policy, while elected committees managed affairs on a day-to-day basis.” [Free Women of Spain, p. 100]
The collectives were based on workers’ democratic self-management of their workplaces, using productive assets that were under the custodianship of the entire working community and administered through federations of workers’ associations:
“The collectives organised during the Spanish Civil War were workers’ economic associations without private property. The fact that collective plants were managed by those who worked in them did not mean that these establishments became their private property. The collective had no right to sell or rent all or any part of the collectivised factory or workshop. The rightful custodian was the CNT, the National Confederation of Workers Associations. But not even the CNT had the right to do as it pleased. Everything had to be decided and ratified by the workers themselves through conferences and congresses.” [Augustin Souchy, The Anarchist Collectives, p. 67]
In Catalonia “every factory elected its administrative committee composed of its most capable workers. Depending on the size of the factory, the function of these committees included inner plant organisation, statistics, finance, correspondence, and relations with other factories and with the community … Several months after collectivisation the textile industry of Barcelona was in far better shape than under capitalist management. Here was yet another example to show that grass roots socialism from below does not destroy initiative. Greed is not the only motivation in human relations.” [Souchy, Op. Cit., p 95]
Thus the individual collective was based on a mass assembly of those who worked there. This assembly nominated administrative staff who were mandated to implement the decisions of the assembly and who had to report back, and were accountable, to that assembly. For example, in Castellon de la Plana ”[e]very month the technical and administrative council presented the general assembly of the Syndicate with a report which was examined and discussed if necessary, and finally introduced when this majority thought it of use. Thus all the activities were known and controlled by all the workers. We find here a practical example of libertarian democracy.” [Gaston Leval, Collectives in the Spanish Revolution, p. 303] Power rested at the base of the collective, with “all important decisions [being] taken by the general assemblies of the workers” which “were widely attended and regularly held … if an administrator did something which the general assembly had not authorised, he was likely to be deposed at the next meeting.” An example of this process can be seen from the Casa Rivieria company. After the defeat of the army coup “a control committee (Comite de Control) was named by the Barcelona Metal Workers’ Union to take over temporary control of the enterprises … A few weeks after July 19th, there was the first general assembly of the firm’s workers … It elected an enterprise committee (Comite de Empresa) to take control of the firm on a more permanent basis… . Each of the four sections of the firm — the three factories and the office staff — held their own general assemblies at least once a week. There they discussed matters ranging from the most important affairs to the most trivial.” [Robert Alexander, The Anarchists in the Spanish Civil War, vol. 1, p. 469 and p. 532]
In summary, the collectives in Spain were marked by workplace self-management. They successfully implemented the long-standing libertarian goal of turning industry from an autocracy to a democracy, of replacing wage-labour with free-labour based on the association of equals (see section I.3.1). However, it would be a mistake to assume (as many do, particularly Marxists) that the CNT and FAI considered the creation of self-managed collectives as the end of the revolution. Far from it. While they embodied such key libertarian principles as workers’ self-management, they were fundamentally a product of both anarchist ideas and the specific situation in which they were created. Rather than seek a market system of producer co-operatives, the CNT was committed to the full socialisation of the economy and the creation of libertarian communism. The collectives were, as a result, seen as development towards that goal rather than as an end in themselves. Moreover, as historian Ronald Fraser notes, it “was doubtful that the CNT had seriously envisaged collectivisation of industry … before this time.” [The Blood of Spain, p. 212] CNT policy was opposed to the collectivisation decree of the Catalonian government, for example, which formalised (and controlled) the spontaneous gains of the revolution as expressed by the collectives.
Therefore, the collectives were (initially) a form of “self-management straddling capitalism and socialism, which we maintain would not have occurred had the Revolution been able to extend itself fully under the direction of our syndicates.” In other words, the revolution saw the abolition of wage-labour but not of the wages system. Thus capitalism was replaced by mutualism, not the socialism desired by most anarchists (namely libertarian communism). As economic and political development are closely related, the fact that the CNT did not carry out the political aspect of the revolution meant that the revolution in the economy was doomed to failure. As Leval stressed, in “the industrial collectives, especially in the large towns, matters proceeded differently as a consequence of contradictory factors and of opposition created by the co-existence of social currents emanating from different social classes.” [Gaston Leval, Collectives in the Spanish Revolution, pp. 227–8 and p. 227]
That the initial forms of the revolution were not as expected should, perhaps, be unsurprising. After all, no social transformation ever exactly matches the hopes of those who had advocated it and the people had more pressing matters to attend to such as re-starting production and fighting Franco. So it is utterly understandable that the collectives only embodied some and not all aspects of aims of the CNT and FAI! Moreover, social change does not produce instant perfect transformations and the workers “had to build new circuits of consumption and distribution, new types of social relations between the proletariat and the peasantry, and new modes of production.” [Abel Paz, Durruti in the Spanish Revolution, p. 451] That process was started, even if it were initially incomplete. That a wider goal was envisioned by these organisations can be seen from the fact that union activists sought to extend the degree of socialisation. So, and again in line with libertarian theory, the collectives also expressed a desire to co-operate within and across industries (see section I.3.5). These attempts at federation and co-ordination will be discussed in next section, along with some of the conclusions that can be drawn from these experiments. For, as would be expected, this attempt to introduce libertarian socialism had its drawbacks as well as successes.

There's a portrait on the cover of the book American Prometheus: The triumph and tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer , it's his most famous image: the "father of the atomic bomb" has a western star face, cigarette dangles in the corner of the mouth, the very clear eyes scrutinize us. He was a charming, elegant man, tombeur de femmes. In short, a beastly physique. With piercing eyes, literally, a gaze that passes through you, he tells who met him. It is from this book that Christopher Nolan made the film Oppenheimer. It is not her habit to write screenplays with the lead actor already in mind: this time she was the exception because "Cillian's eyes", she said, "were the only ones I knew capable of conveying such intensity". We are talking about "endless pools", "the color of the sea on a sunny day", as we read on social networks where there are countless dedicated profiles (one for all, fuckyeahcillianseyes on Tumblr): a super power that Cillian Murphy , 47 years old, knows how to use very well. Irish from Cork, he is one of those actors who "the less people know about me the better". Very reserved, he goes to bed early, and has been married for twenty years to Yvonne McGuinness, a fifty-two year old Irish artist from Kilkenny, a visual artist with whom she has two children: Malachy, 18, and Aran, 16. They returned to live on their beloved island when their children's accent in London was becoming too posh . They want to raise them as Irish, by the sea, near their grandparents.
Cillian is the ruthless Tommy Shelby of Peaky Blinders , the Scarecrow of the Batman trilogy signed Nolan, the young doctor who joins the fighters of the Wrath in the Wind that strokes the grass of Ken Loach. Oppenheimer is his sixth film with the director of Inception. An impressive film, an announced masterpiece, the film event of the summer. To Cillian's blue eyes, Nolan entrusted the complexity of the man and his husband Oppenheimer but above all the conflicts of conscience of the scientist who, after the Trinity test, the first atomic detonation, on July 16, 1945, said the famous phrase: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". The film is released July 21 in the US and UK, August 23 in Italy . "I can't reveal almost anything", Cillian Murphy smiles from her home in Dublin , as if to say "Mo, I want to see you: I'm not talking about private matters and the film is top secret, what can we tell each other for half an hour?". Practically a challenge.
In one sentence, Oppenheimer is a film about…?
Chris said it's a film about the most important man who ever lived. I truly believe that the world changed forever in 1945. It is a sadly timely film that has the flavor of a thriller, exciting and incredibly immersive, a must see at the cinema.
The moral theme is central, I guess.
I don't want to spoil the pleasure but, yes, his human struggle is part of the story. You will be very surprised.
As you rightly say, nuclear power is still a current threat but we also have other dangerous weapons today.
It's interesting, I think people find a lot of similarities between nuclear fission and artificial intelligence, the development of the internet... They are all events that changed the world profoundly. Oppenheimer asks questions, gives no answers. The best films are those that provoke you and make you think, cinema must not be prescriptive, dogmatic or didactic, it must raise questions, it must shake consciences.
It is shot on IMAX 65mm, “the closest thing to reproducing the world as the naked eye sees it”. With each film Nolan tries to outdo himself. What is it like for an actor to be directed by him?
We've known each other for twenty years and every time it's a challenge, this one more than others because I'm the protagonist. He's very, very demanding, and expects the best from every member of the cast and crew. You have to show up on his sets very prepared, ready to get on the train, because as soon as you leave the station, that train never stops and goes at a furious speed. We shot it in 57 days, which is totally insane for a film like this. I had been preparing for six months, I threw myself into it, back and forth from Los Angeles to confront Chris. It's a way of working that I appreciate, it galvanizes me.
It's different, I guess, from a director like Ken Loach.
Another filmmaker who changed my professional life, another profound and stimulating experience even if it has a completely different method. Every director is different and every character is different. Sometimes they ask me what role I would have liked to play: I can't answer, because I'm convinced that every actor has a role meant for him, I can't think "it could have been me", that great film was a success because there was that director together with those actors. It doesn't make sense, I don't care, that's why I never bring works from the past to the theater. I don't want to say the same lines that someone else has said wonderfully well before me, I prefer to find new ways.
What has remained of this last job?
Each film takes different things from you and each film is a strange synthesis between the script, your acting, your personality and the director's vision. It's too early to understand what he left me, I'll tell you in about ten years », he smiles.
Nolan wanted to recreate the Trinity test the old-fashioned way, with a real explosion, no CGI. The result?
Crazy. If you can, go see it in an IMAX theater. Chris also used IMAX in black and white for the first time, it's stunning... Will you forgive me a moment? (Talk to someone, he says “Ok, I'll take care of it in 5 minutes, don't worry”). Excuse me, he was my son (he says, with an almost embarrassed smile).
Is the family happy to be back in Ireland?
Very. My wife and I have lived in London for 14 years.
You moved before Brexit, right? So it wasn't a "political" choice...
It has happened before but after Brexit we were even happier with our choice. I feel very European.
Have you ever lived in the United States?
I go there often and willingly to shoot films but I'm not made to live there. I need other cultures, to feel them around me, to be able to frequent them; I like European cinema, I like living in Ireland, I feel very connected to my country, America is too strange for me. Here I can disconnect, live a simple, normal life.
Define “simple and normal”. Farm? Animals? Hoe the garden, since he's a vegetarian?
(bursts out laughing) When I'm not working, I take care of my children for example, my dog, I like reading and watching movies, I don't go out much. I throw myself headlong into the work, I give a lot of myself and therefore I like to take a lot of free time between one commitment and another. I find it healthy. I detach and just live. I just want to exist as any human being in the world. For me it is research, study. Look around, take transport, observe people.
His wife once said that Tommy Shelby had a hard time leaving your house... Do you have a ritual to get rid of characters? Some of his colleagues shave their heads.
Definitely not that, I can't stand wigs so I always keep my hair pretty long because you never know what they'll ask you… It takes time to get back to yourself, on a set like Oppenheimer or Peaky Blinders you work 16, 17 hours a day, you're always busy busy busy and then suddenly you're not. It's alienating. It's hard to put yourself back together overnight, it's good for me to find activities to keep me busy, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do with all that energy left in me. I do some gardening, start training for a marathon, read one of those heavy tomes I've been putting off for a while.
Help his wife with her installations...
(Laughs as if to say "I don't fall for it") My wife definitely doesn't need my help.
It was a golden year for Irish cinema: Island Spirits , The Quiet Girl , Paul Mescal. Why is the land so fertile?
I'm proud of all those guys, many are friends. We Irish are natural storytellers. So much has happened in our history and in a relatively short period of time: we are very connected with our artistic, poetic part, it is our way of elaborating the story, through storytelling and music.
Is there an interesting female point of view in the film Oppenheimer ? After all, the producer is a woman, Emma Thomas, Nolan's wife.
I can only say that Emily Blunt (Kitty, his wife) and Florence Pugh (psychiatrist Jean Tatlock) are magnificent. Chris was a genius in choosing Emily, she and I have known each other for a long time, we understand and respect each other, and if you take two friends to play a couple you skip a step. Kitty and Robert have an interesting, special relationship that spreads like wildfire throughout the film. Emily is phenomenal and Florence is very young but she is so wise and mature and sophisticated and brilliant.
Peaky Blinders the movie: will it be done?
I hope so. If there's another story to tell, I'm with it. But it must make sense, because I'm so proud of the series and the character, I become protective. Steve Knight is a fantastic writer, if he finds something legitimate that justifies a film I'm in it.
Tommy Shelby has his ghosts, as does Robert Oppenheimer. What does she do for his mental health?
(He widens his eyes) Me personally you mean? Look, I think it's important in life to be aware of always having to improve yourself: to try to be a better husband, a better father, a better human being. If you have this awareness and are trying, that's enough. And I strongly believe in empathy, in the ability to recognize the emotions of others and feel them.
What does being successful mean to you?
Working with people I admire. I don't want to stand still, look back or too far forward, I want to say something with my choices. I'm lucky because I've worked a lot with Chris, one of the few who manage to provoke within the mainstream system. He's someone who doesn't underestimate the viewer, he asks a lot and does well, it's the right approach.
How has your friend Nolan changed over the years?
The principles are the same but the mastery of the language, that vernacular of his making films, has improved: now he clearly knows what he wants. With Batman he has shown that he can do genre cinema incredibly well but when he started writing his films he found his true genius.
What makes it immediately "home"?
My family, the Irish countryside, our west coast which is so powerful.
Your body is a work tool, like your face, which is so particular: how do you take care of it?
I try to live healthy, to keep fit... Are you talking about wrinkles? They don't worry me, being an actor constantly puts you in front of the awareness that day after day your face changes. I try to age as gracefully as possible. I like to sleep, I sleep a lot.
He just turned 47: is everything ok?
Yes, I'm not very young anymore but I'm not old either, come on. Look, I do the job I love, I have a great family, can I ever complain about anything?

Voices of April
Breezes, Blossoms, and Birds
Prunieurs en Fleurs/Plum Trees in Bloom by Clause Monet
The West Wind
It’s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’ cries; I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes. For it comes from the west lands, the old brown hills, And April’s in the west wind, and daffodils.
It’s a fine land, the west land, for hearts as tired as mine, Apple orchards blossom there, and the air’s like wine. There is cool green grass there, where men may lie at rest, And the thrushes are in song there, fluting from the nest.
‘Will ye not come home, brother? ye have been long away, It’s April, and blossom time, and white is the may; And bright is the sun, brother, and warm is the rain,— Will ye not come home, brother, home to us again?
‘The young corn is green, brother, where the rabbits run, It’s blue sky, and white clouds, and warm rain and sun. It’s song to a man’s soul, brother, fire to a man’s brain, To hear the wild bees and see the merry spring again.
‘Larks are singing in the west, brother, above the green wheat, So will ye not come home, brother, and rest your tired feet? I’ve a balm for bruised hearts, brother, sleep for aching eyes,’ Says the warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’ cries.
It’s the white road westwards is the road I must tread To the green grass, the cool grass, and rest for heart and head, To the violets and the warm hearts and the thrushes’ song, In the fine land, the west land, the land where I belong.
-John Masefield
De Roze Perzikboom/Blossoming Pear Tree by Vincent van Gogh
Home Thoughts, From Abroad
O, to be in England Now that April 's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England—now!
And after April, when May follows, And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows! Hark, where my blossom'd pear-tree in the hedge Leans to the field and scatters on the clover Blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray's edge— That 's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture! And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower —Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!
—Robert Browning
Song of a Second April
April this year, not otherwise Than April of a year ago, Is full of whispers, full of sighs, Of dazzling mud and dingy snow; Hepaticas that pleased you so Are here again, and butterflies.
There rings a hammering all day, And shingles lie about the doors; In orchards near and far away The grey woodpecker taps and bores; And men are merry at their chores, And children earnest at their play.
The larger streams run still and deep, Noisy and swift the small brooks run Among the mullein stalks the sheep Go up the hillside in the sun, Pensively,—only you are gone, You that alone I cared to keep.
—Edna St. Vincent Millay

lolitathon pt. 2: watching lolita (1997) so that i may finally know peace
part one can be found here
quick recap (to be read in the voice of jeremy irons):
lolitathon part one, the viewing of lolita (1962), dir. stanley kubrick, unceremoniously concluded the afternoon last, receiving a rating of 1 1/2 stars out of 5. the author, in very low spirits, ventured out to touch grass and decided to postpone the second half of their acursed double feature until the next day. reader, today is that faithful day.
the previous evening, the author treated themself to robert luketic’s pièce de résistance, legally blonde (2001), and now with renewed bravery, we sally forth to today’s feature presentation: lolita (1997)
#lolitathon 2k23#lolita (1997)#lolita#i dont know if i can take anymore of this#but we gotta see this thing through 🫡#sorrows. sorrows. prayers.#astxriai watches
