Lullaby

Lyubomir Levchev

The boy was standing at the exit of the new gas-station like a deadlock, like a gas pump, like an air hose. I braked suddenly to pick him up. And only then did I notice what an evil appearance he had. I asked him: “Which way?” “To Plovdiv,” the hitch-hiker grumbled. “Eh!” I joked bluntly like an intellectual. “Such a young boy to such an old city!” “Oh, fuck this face of mine! Could you, too, guess that I still have no ID card?” “But why are you cursing?” “Because they won’t give me a job. I can’t get started. Do you know what it’s like to be and yet be unable to make a start?…” I gave him a piece of chocolate. He ate it up at once and fell asleep. I watched him, just in case, in the rear-view mirror, rocking in the loop of sleep. His hair, long as a wig, made him look like a premature Robespierre.

And so we flew across eternity like two centuries, like two tenses: past continuous and a future that cannot begin. Meanwhile the whirling wind hummed a lullaby: Sleep, sleep, my boy. It’s not your fault, But our shameless falseness. Sleep, but don’t trust Fukuyama. History exists. History is searching. And soon it will find you a job. Oh, what a job! They will remember you!

Twilight Zone Moodboards // The Hitch-Hiker

I don't know why it is, but I'm frightened — a fear just about as vague as its object. Maybe it isn't really a fear. It's more just a sense of disquiet, a feeling that things are a little wrong.

10 classic films for beginners

Which hopefully aren’t too basic

Vivacious woman

Summary - College town life gets turned upside down after a button-down botany professor secretly weds a sizzling nightclub singer.

Notes: Jimmy Stewart and Ginger Rogers have incredible chemistry, definitely worth a watch if you love rom-coms!!

Don’t bother to knock

Summary - An airline pilot pursues a live-in babysitter at his hotel and gradually realizes she is not as stable as perhaps she should be.

Notes: one of my favourite Marilyn Monroe performances. This is a one of a kind performance in her catalogue and well worth the watch

The Hitch Hiker

Summary: Roy and Gilbert's fishing trip takes a terrifying turn when the hitchhiker they pick up turns out to be a sociopath on the run from the law. He's killed before, and he lets the two know that as soon as they're no longer useful, he'll kill again. The two friends plot an escape, but the hitchhiker's peculiar physical affliction, an eye that never closes even when he sleeps, makes it impossible for them to tell when they can make a break for it.

Notes: a female directed thriller, the suspense of this story is enough to keep you entertained for the whole run time

Repulsion

Summary: Beautiful young manicurist Carole suffers from androphobia (the pathological fear of interaction with men). When her sister and roommate, Helen, leaves their London flat to go on an Italian holiday with her married boyfriend, Carole withdraws into her apartment. She begins to experience frightful hallucinations, her fear gradually mutating into madness.

Notes: Roman Polanskis first film on English, it really shines in both direction and the performance from Catherine Deneuve

The red shoes

Summary: In this classic drama, Vicky Page is an aspiring ballerina torn between her dedication to dance and her desire to love. While her imperious instructor, Boris Lermontov, urges to her to forget anything but ballet, Vicky begins to fall for the charming young composer Julian Craster.

Eventually Vicky, under great emotional stress, must choose to pursue either her art or her romance, a decision that carries serious consequences.

Notes: the technicolour in this movie really shines against the ballet sequences, if you love ballet, a tortured artist or just some beautiful cinematography, give this a watch.

Roman holiday

Summary: Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, touring European princess Ann takes off for a night while in Rome. When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley, who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, Joe finds out Ann's regal identity and bets his editor he can get exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.

Notes: if you’re looking for a movie that feels like a warm hug, try this. Romantic and a gorgeous Gregory Peck, what more do you need

Angel face

Summary: Ambulance driver Frank Jessup is ensnared in the schemes of the sensuous but dangerous Diane Tremayne.

Notes: An almost predictable noir, it’s highly enjoyable seeing Jean Simmons in this type of role

The children’s hour

Summary: A private all-girls boarding school is scandalized when one spiteful student accuses the two young women who run it of having a romantic relationship.

Notes: Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine add such emotion to this story, making anyone enthralled by the tragic story

The shop around the corner

Summary: Two employees at a gift shop can barely stand one another, without realising that they are falling in love through the post as each other's anonymous pen pal.

Notes: Jimmy Stewart is so charming in this, an amazing watch around the holiday season

Bonnie and Clyde

Summary: In the 1930s, bored waitress Bonnie Parker falls in love with an ex-con named Clyde Barrow and together they start a violent crime spree through the country, stealing cars and robbing banks.

Notes: Faye Dunaways outfits are enough to make you watch this, her berets really brought the trend to life again

Considering that DND had only existed for a few years when Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy was first released, it's remarkable how much it reads like a DND campaign. Like every choice feels like someone rolled dice to make it.

"Okay, let me see if I understand you, right, You want to ask the councilman to take Arthur's place in the mud?"

"Yes. Ford will try and use persuasion to get him to lay in the mud."

"On the councilman... who is intent on destroying Arthur's house... you want to ask him to lay in the mud... for Arthur... in front of bulldozers?"

*Ford's player nods*

"Okay roll."

"Nat 20."

"OH MY-"

The opening half plot of Fallout New Vegas is can really be summarized as everyone thinking Benny was hot and coming to deeply regret it later.
