Do any of you have film recommendations for like "an intro to watching older films"? I'm in charge of part of the programme for my unis film society for the next semester and I may as well use it to throw on classics.

Fascinating that Balzacs Odyssey riff is so much more tragic. What if Odyessius got back after the wedding is a wonderful twist on it.

Isak's done miracles on my fpl team, Balzac, Calvino and Brecht in the used book store for cheap, hairdresser has shaped me up nicely. On top of that my social event for tonight is cancelled so I work on my diss instead. Life can't get better till I grab a tea back at the house.

Love when they show a picture in an old film and it's just like 11 normal looking people and then the most beautiful woman you've ever seen (I'm sure she won't be involved)

The defense is just "people should be free to enjoy themselves" what if enjoy myself killing CEOs? Why is it when it's money going to the rich we can ignore externalities to defend 'freedom' but not when it's CEOs going 6ft under?
