Happy St. Patties ya'll

Hope you're well and drinking something delicious, whatever it may be. 

Enjoying Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus' - Review coming soon. 

And as Laura Palmer said, meanwhile... 

1. Book on my shelf to read - Ubik by Philip K. Dick 

I can't make heads or tails of this plot but it sounds like fantastic bizarre mindfuck science fiction. It appears Roberto Bolaño was a fan. 

2. The Night Porter 

Dirk Bogarde plays a former SS Officer in hiding in an Italian Hotel after the war, and one night he runs into a previous Jewish prisoner played by Charlotte Rampling whom he fell in love with but was separated postwar. 

An exceptionally good challenging film directed by Liliana Cavani, and one of the darkest onscreen love stories I've encountered.

3. Enter The Void Intro

Gaspar Noé's epic and ambitious portrayal of psychedelic drugs and the afterlife. 

All of the film is shot from the POV of a young man who gets shot and killed in Tokyo while high on DMT. 

Great scene here. And this track used in the film is sooo dope. 

4.”Bailout! It’s gonna be a bailout.”

Died laughing. Sometimes feels like these are the folks calling the shots. 

5. Camille Paglia on her Writing Process

I'm currently floored by Sexual Personae. 

This is obscene.
