I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.

For shame.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."

I need to rewatch Les Enfants terribles, Le Samouraï, and Le Cercle rouge, but don't remember being terribly keen on any of them.
Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
When I haven't seen anything from the week's director, I'm always torn about rushing to see something so I can contribute or waiting to see what the consensus is so that I can have a more informed choice about what to see.
