The world of German Romanticism is so small. Like I am just now learning, somehow, that the woman Wilhelm Müller was in desperately infatuated with while he was writing Die schöne Müllerin was Luise Hensel, i.e. Fanny Hensel’s sister-in-law.

Someone on here said that we've just replaced the four humours with the names of neurotransmitters and that's so right it's not even funny.

I love David Lynch, but I’m deeply amused by the take you sometimes see (even from Lynch himself!) that goes something like “people who ask for an explanation of a David Lynch film are philistines and idiots: the art speaks for itself.”

I'm glad Sen Durbin is making this request but it should be viewed as an absolute scandal that the publication of these legal opinions will be a matter of executive grace, not law. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000194-42e4-d454-afdc-4afff70d0000

One funny thing about the muppets is that for the first five minutes you can appreciate the craft, like “oh, they hid a second puppeteer inside that piece of set, oh, what clever use of blocking and framing,” etc., but after that you are just like “Oh, those are muppets. Doing muppet things.”

I’d bet real money that Nolan’s Odyssey is going to lean heavily on the idea that everything we hear is actually Odysseus narrating his own story to Nausicäa. If you imagine it jumping back and forth between that version and the “real” version, it’s a perfect Nolan project.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 synchs up to Dark Side of the Moon significantly better than The Wizard of Oz does
