Have been obsessed with this podcast over the past couple of weeks. Ed is an affable and enthused guide to our rainbow world, and highlights some awesome pioneering women in the history of colour theory. The topics are an accessible and fascinating mix of physics, psychology, history, art, and biology. It's even made me consider going to the actual library to look at actual books!

ENGLISH SPEAKING SAINTS AND OTHERS
February 1 St. Brigid of Ireland. Brigid was probably born at Faughart near Dundalk, Louth, Ireland. Her parents were baptized by St. Patrick, with whom she developed a close friendship. According to legend, her father was Dubhthach, an Irish chieftain of Lienster, and her mother, Brocca, was a slave at his court. Even as a young girl she evinced an interest for a religious life and took the veil in her youth from St. Macaille at Croghan and probably was professed by St. Mel of Armagh, who is believed to have conferred abbatial authority on her. She settled with seven of her virgins at the foot of Croghan Hill for a time and about the year 468, followed Mel to Meath. About the year 470 she founded a double monastery at Cill-Dara (Kildare) and was Abbess of the convent, the first in Ireland. The foundation developed into a center of learning and spirituality, and around it grew up the Cathedral city of Kildare. She founded a school of art at Kildare and its illuminated manuscripts became famous, notably the Book of Kildare, which was praised as one of the finest of all illuminated Irish manuscripts before its disappearance three centuries ago. Brigid was one of the most remarkable women of her times, and despite the numerous legendary, extravagant, and even fantastic miracles attributed to her, there is no doubt that her extraordinary spirituality, boundless charity, and compassion for those in distress were real. She died at Kildare on February 1. The Mary of the Gael, she is buried at Downpatrick with St. Columba and St. Patrick, with whom she is the patron of Ireland. Her name is sometimes Bridget and Bride. St. Seiriol, 6th century. Welsh monk and hermit, He is honored on Puffin Island (island of Ynys-Seiriol), off the coast of Anglesey, Wales. Other details of his life are scarce. St. Cinnia, 5th century. A princess of Ulster, Ireland. She was converted to Christianity by St. Patrick. When she entered a convent, St. Patrick gave her the veil. St. Crewanna, 5th century. A confessor who accompanied St. Breaca from Ireland to Cornwall, England. Crowan near St. Erth is believed to have been named in his honor. St. Darulagdach, 524 A.D. Abbess of Kildare, Ireland, the successor of St. Brigid. She is also called Dardulacha. St. Jarlath, 480 A.D. Also called Hierlath, Irish bishop and disciple of St. Patrick. He became bishop of Armagh and aided monastic expansion and the missionary program undertaken in that era. St. Kinnin, 5th century. Irish maiden baptized by St. Patrick. She is venerated in County Louth, Ireland.

Movie Review | Diplomatic Immunity (Maris, 1991)

I've admitted elsewhere that the possibility of making a joke review has definitely influenced my decision to see certain movies. And if I can let you in on a secret, that was the case here. You see, the title of the movie is a line from a buddy cop movie many of you have seen, and I was gonna make a joke to that effect. Here it goes:
*Marge Simpson voice* "We have Lethal Weapon 2 at home."
There. Now you know. See, when you read my reviews, you don't just get my thoughts on the movies, but a little insight into what makes me tick, and what goes into the process of writing these up. Please don't hit unfollow. Now, because I'm long winded, you're gonna get a few more thoughts about this one, because quite frankly it would be a little sad if that terrible joke was all I got out of it. So like Patricia Charbonneau in Call Me, I'm going to squeeze some more juice out of this movie. See, more insights into the process. Please don't hit unfollow.
Now, as you can guess from the title, the concept of diplomatic immunity figures heavily into the plot. The hero's daughter has been killed by some scumbag who happens to be the son of a Parayguan diplomat, and thanks to the concept of diplomatic immunity, he's able to get off scot-free, inspiring the hero to fly down to Paraguay to get his revenge. This falls in the tradition of action movies who take a certain legal concept and shape their entire worldview around it. In Dirty Harry and any number of policiers, Miranda Rights are what's on the mind. Here, and in Lethal Weapon 2, a substantially better movie in every respect, it's diplomatic immunity. The movie even takes a minute to explain the concept, making the assumption that the viewer hasn't already seen Lethal Weapon 2 and probably rented this one by mistake.
Now, the biggest problem with this movie is that the production values don't allow for the kind of thrills one would hope for given the premise. Some of the fun of movies where characters go to shoot up third world countries is that A) you usually get to spend time in a halfway exotic locale (usually a politically friendly country standing in for the real or fictitious country the movie is set in) and B) you get a pretty respectable body count with all the enemy soldiers getting blown away by the heroes. Here, you get some uniforms that look like they might be foreign, but none of the locales glimpsed in the movie suggest they ever left the continental US. Lots of scenes running through alleys, hallways, nondescript streets, and lots of low energy chases and shootouts. And the obvious low budget means that only a handful of henchmen stand in the way of the heroes in any given scene. The sky high body counts of Commando, Rambo, McBain or even a Cannon Films production are not within the movie's grasp.
This might have been a non-issue had the movie gone all in on the sleazy angles of the material, but this is a case where the movie was probably made a decade too late. I'm a fan of Peter Maris' earlier film Delirium, which moves fast and has a nice grimy, exploitation texture. This lacks such qualities, and feels silky smooth when it should be coarse like sandpaper. This isn't due to the lack of sleazy elements, however. The scumbag likes to torture women and take their pictures as he kills them so he can use their faces for his fucked up paintings. He also uses the faces of his mother Meg Foster, with whom he has a creepy relationship, and his mistress, who explains Fabiana Udenio, who explains how he's into BDSM in his personal life, and despite his hankering for torture, is actually a submissive. I believe that makes him a switch, if we're using the proper parlance. She also explains the concept of BDSM to the hero, and like with the earlier explanation of diplomatic immunity it leads me to believe that the screenwriters kept a dictionary handy throughout their process. I should note that she does this after trying to taze the hero while she has on a gimp mask, although the rest of the movie is nowhere near as sexy, especially as it has the veneer of a TV movie. (I should note that the mistress also has a strained relationship with her father, making parental issues something of a recurring theme in the movie.)
Now, if you're still gonna watch this, I should note some of the casting makes this a bitter better. Billy Drago as an arms dealer who decides to help the hero is easily the best part about the whole thing, as he brings an unpredictability to the material thanks to his normally villainous casting. You get the sense that he's not helping the hero out of the goodness of his heart, but because he likes killing people and is awful good at it and won't turn down a chance to kill some more. Sadly, he's not in nearly enough of the movie, for reasons I assume had to do with availability. (Although...it's not like he's an A-lister. He can't be that busy.) And Meg Foster is effectively icy in her creepy as hell role as the villain's mother, staring him down on multiple occasions with her impossibly blue eyes. (On that note, if there's a movie where Foster shoots laser beams from her eyes, please let me know.) And you get Robert Forster as a shady CIA guy (although I guess the adjective is redundant in most cases) and Ken Foree as a sympathetic bartender, although neither has enough screentime. As the lead, Bruce Boxleitner is... fine, but despite the movie's attempts to convince me that he was a super deadly black ops guy, his whole vibe was "your friend's dad who's having a midlife crisis so he bought a leather jacket." Honestly, if you made this a decade earlier and swapped him with Forster, this would be at least fifty percent better. There, I've fixed the movie.

"I can't talk to her." "You're the one she'll believe more, even if both of us are telling the truth!" "If I have a mental breakdown, it'll definitely make it into the paper, and that's even worse!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAW OF SATURN- MORE LIKE MAW OF VENUS?
Owner allegedly in relationship with waiter! The two were seen walking to Mr. Charbonneau's apartment- alone?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mary didn't enjoy publishing private lives as much as she showed to the world. Sure, she was nosy, she didn't like a single secret being kept, but she didn't love showing the world those secrets. That's why she felt bad publishing the story.
"Mary, we have to talk." Vince came up to her, incredibly rare for him to do. "I know, Vincent. I'll go away." "No, we need to talk about the article."
Meanwhile, Rody was on the verge of a panic attack, before he had even talked to Mary. At this point, the idea-the concept- of talking to her was worse than actually getting questioned by her.
Don't cry, you have nothing to cry about. Look at you, with a person offering more than your weak little life is worth, why are you crying now? Because you might need to talk? Pathetic.
@astronautica-ss
(Sorry for not writing much with how much time I had, I hope you enjoy this chapter anyway! -idiot)
Vince makes a deal with the devil after dying
"Huh. You're definitely going down here, buddy."
Those were the words Vincent heard before he found himself surrounded by a different atmosphere of flames. He opened his eyes, and felt nothing in his neck. He felt nothing. His head felt soft, a stark contrast to the pain he had felt only seconds before.
"Wow. You really sucked, huh." What was that manner of speaking? He tried to open his mouth to speak, but-
"Don't speak unless you'd like a deal, dear mortal. Or... a game?"
