I enjoyed those.
Tokyo Sonata (2008) - directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa who has done some horror films as well, this is an outstanding drama about a Japanese man who loses his job, goes through a crisis, as does his...
Leave me be, the old man says,
For my heart can take no more
Of all the sadness it has seen
In the days that went before.
Leave and let me languish here
With heavy heart and sigh,
With the...
Hi cacian, looking up "added sugar" this is the first thing I saw:
"Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages when they are processed or prepared. Naturally...
"Added sugar is the single worst ingredient in the modern diet." I read this somewhere online yesterday. Of course it's in just about everything with a label on it. Many (or most?) of us consume too...
"If we are what we eat, what are we?"
I'm just a lousy grocery store with just a fraction of what you're looking for.

Tony (2009) -- Pretty good serial killer movie, the British Tony is a bit like the American Dahmer, but in this film we don't even feel much sympathy for his victims, as they're lousy people. Of...
Some more:
Angst (1983, Austria) -- One of the most terrifying films I've ever seen, about a killer just released from prison and the only thing on his mind is killing again. Scary stuff but a...
I've seen some pretty good movies over there, though some don't last on the site for long, perhaps these are still there.
Spoorloos aka The Vanishing, 1988 -- A couple are on vacation and the...
Max von Sydow, a great actor from Sweden, died yesterday at age 90. He's so solid in every movie I've seen him in, including a bunch of Bergman films, The Exorcist and Citizen X. RIP Max.
I was raised crazy,
There was crazy all around,
Walking through me, talking to me,
Crazy all around.
In every sigh and in every sound
There was the breath of crazy,
It filled the air around...
I saw a silent one on youtube a while ago called The Phantom Carriage (Sweden, 1921) that was outstanding. A man dies on New Year's Eve and then has to take over for Death, a most unpleasant job....
I went to the Crow Bar to talk to some crows
About serious matters like fingers and toes.
The Bouncer Crow warned me, "We don't like people here,
But you seem OK, go pull up a chair."
I thanked...
The man was rock stupid and the girl was crystal hot
There wasn't much there but there was also a lot
He muttered something, it did not matter
The girl was a girl and on the platter
And when he spoke of division he rarely hesitated
He went on about the who and the why and the what
and he seldom waited for the membership to cry
and they were crying there in the seats
won't...
Was just the other day I saw a butterfly
Stranded and sort of lonely
One wing was crippled
Into the flame he flew
And left beautiful ashes
I just recently got some meds, stuff I haven't taken in years. Was feeling an old darkness creep back, and sometimes it's hard to manage, so what the hell, I'll try the old pill again to see if it...
A pretty good one I saw recently on youtube was "The Perfect Host" (2010) with David Hyde Pierce (Niles Crane) as a total whackjob.
Awake, many things divide us,
Many layers deep,
Fears and desires that guide us,
Made quieter in sleep.
The philosopher spoke of division
He said they were many but mainly two
and one was us and the other was you.
I was sleeping hard, as experiences run
And let me say it wasn't much fun.
I fell off the bed, and there you go.
Now you know more than ya need to know.
This is the way a proud man speaks.
He...
I don't think the idea of God is so different from the feeling of nationalism. Both are the 'me'. It strikes me as odd that the whole world calls itself by a label. The world cup plays it out nicely....
Not missed there Atheist, so much as not really understood. That we are heavily influenced, perhaps entirely conditioned, is not an original idea.
I asked about the idea of God. I believe it's an...
However strongly one believes in something, it is not something outside thought, is it? If the belief is not there, nor is the thing believed in. Is it? You might say it could be there or could exist...
