I watched a Netfilix movie called " Bombardment" last night that I highly recommend. It's in Danish with subtitles, and it's not for the faint of heart...very disturbing but necessary. Its sadly based on a little known true story from WW2.
A British mission gone wrong,that changes the citizens of the city of Copenhagen's lives in a horrible way. I'd never heard this story before, probably because the British wouldnt care to talk about it much.
The acting is excellent particularly the young nun, who is searching for God while war is happening.
The movie still effects me today, probably because its especially timely with the war raging in the Ukraine

There's more of those little known stories than you know. My Dad told me once of a friendly fire incident in Italy in WW2 to which he was a horrified observer.

Oh I'm sure, and then there's the ones done on purpose.
I really liked the way this one was told in this film.
 
In Italy, the Allied forces always worried when the American bombers were going over. According to my father, they bombed Allied forces almost as often as German forces. This was because the British refused to provide their navigation technology to the Americans.

Just watched Inside, a strange but very interesting blend of comedy and being woke. The end part was a bit draggy. About 80 minutes long. Directed, shot, and assembled by the only person in the movie.. I was envious of his video equipment.

That's interesting, in the movie, there's a boy that witnesses innocent people in a car being killed which traumatized him so much, that he cannot speak anymore....so his mother sends him to her sisters home in, you guessed it, Copenhagen, which is both fortunate and tragically unfortunate.
 
Guess Kanopy counts as a streaming service. My library has a nice feature with their Kanopy service where we can watch Great Courses lectures series without the lectures counting against our four borrows a month. So I am watching Understanding the New Testament by Dr. David Brakke of Ohio State. He's a history prof specializing in early Christianity who also has an M.Div. He is taking a fairly historical approach, even doing the books in the order we think they were written rather than in canon order. First two lectures are introductory, covering some general history of the New Testament and the Jewish influences on the early church respectively. Now I'm into Paul's letters, starting 1 Thessalonians and Galatians, which are dated as the earliest. I am reading along, too, which is interesting in itself since I'm not sure I have ever read all of the letters in their entirety.

(Yes, this might generate some BPoTWs. I'm thinking of Galatians for this coming Sunday but we'll see)
 
If anyone's looking for a movie tonight I recommend Dark Waters on Netflix. ( many of you may have already seen it because it was made in 2019)
It's a true story and I'm so surprised I never knew this story.....especially since I have a Teflon frying pan and I dont know how old it is. So what does that have to do with anything you might say?
Apparently the process of Dupont creating this substance for tanks and then household items has contributed to almost every living creature (98%) including humans to have this substance in our body....and its indestructible....and it's not good as this movie goes into.
It is a very disturbing movie about how we become unwilling guinea pigs and the lawyer who fought the giant Dupont Corporation.

I've known a couple of people over the years who have worked for Dupont. I would describe it as a rather frightening corporation.
 
I've worked in the past for both side; water treatment for industry and environmental water treatment. "Dark Waters" has always been an icon for me for the unknown and also the depth of the unknown. One of the thing that fascinated me about perspectives on processes was how much people didn't know about the processes and how much these folks would deceive to gain a winning position ... to the extent they would even agree to deceive themselves for short term gain. Often the strong urge to eliminate knowledge from the greater field became self destructive. In great faith of their self-deception the conclusion is often failure.

The entire topic is discussed in several approaches of philosophy of altruism in two extremes; subjective vs objective altruism (i.e. is the altruism due to a private self or a public/social self). It seems we bounce around between the two extremes and private knowledge does nowhere approach the integral social knowledge scattered about.

If nothing else it motivates an interest or curiosity about that self that is indeterminate. It is not a topic for those believing the private self is all there is ... this entity is thus blindly dissociated through means of disposing of the greater soul as a scary mystery. It is cause for great security and consequences that many have been lead to avoid like alien information ... what we don't know in a round about form ... or circular learning process!

It reminds me of the Sam Arian on the way looking after the disadvantaged to the disgust of the powerful winner in their search for hubris ... a common fallacy or type of collapse in Game Theory? Like many processes accused of as dark ... it is passed off as evil conspiracy! Thus frightening alien conspiracy ... more to be unravelled ... thus projecting further challenges for diabolical dialogue that the winners hate hearing us talking about as it upsets their self deceit raising the need for apologetic Christians ... and thus many return to the alter time after time as it turns about ...

As all things in reality, this too may be a false theory because of an environment corrupted with prized deviates ... may affect the incarnation as it appears and may not be that way ... one must question these mysterious things deeply! And expect them to be slick as a snake whether toxic to virtue or a antidote to the lie (sometimes marketed as snake oil). In my experiences some of these materials we marketed with very little truly known about the material ... such as non biodegradable toxins. Some tree juices provide better options and stone crocks for boiling with hot rocks ... to make a soup that you'd hope was hard to beat ...

Accept the expressions present some scattered hidden info to satisfy those ready for self deceit as they desired ...

I know this verges on philosophical psychology that frightens the crap out of the masses ... but it get the ideas across where they are deeply desired ... explaining shadowy intelligence! Admittedly it is alien and weird ...
 
On top of all the other is the concept that water is the iconic support system for for support of what souls float!

Icons are needed to built the story about things of myth and unbelievable 's ... thus easily denied with the elimination powers ...

It is said that some mystery wastes thoughts on winners everyday and thus sentient goes down the pipes ... thus thought is often referred to as crap by those that hate thinkers ... it is said roman tics feared thinking folk ...
 
We're watching a series on Netflix right now. It is Midnight at the Pera Palace. It is a Turkish series that's dubbed well in English. It involves time travel, mystery and suspense. The Pera Palace is a real place that was built to be part of the Orient Express journey. Agatha Christie went missing for several days from there. The series is based on a novel.
 
I started watching “ is it cake? “ on Netflix. Funny! People making cakes that look like ordinary things ( a purse, a sneaker) or other food - taco, hamburger- and it looks very real and also tastes good. That’s an art.
 
We finished Midnight at Pera Palace. What an ending. I hope there's a second season to see where it goes from here.
