What's wrong with today's movie industry?
PINNED
There's only one pilot for every movie and that it is, of course, its director. I've seen quite a few movies already and I respect them enough as individual art works. But there's been something nagging me for decades now already. What's wrong? It...

The Rubens landscapes
PINNED
Art brings oneself to higher plains alright. Just think of the Rubens landscapes. For me personally, they represent well my county of Flanders. The nature and sense of being Flemish that is. During his long career, being much more than a mere...

Lingerie trends this year so far
PINNED
Again, underwear as outerwear Right colour and texture is in, funny enough Comfortable underwire lingerie. Always a godsend And sustainability. Maturity setting in
Sad, bad and awfully good
PINNED
How are you? To be really honest and deeply personal for once, I've tried for decades almost anything to get myself out of a hole. The villain of the piece isn't really big star depression as such, because there's much more going on, but then again...

Is God a person?
Perhaps you have difficulty with the concept of 'love'? Why should one love one's neighbour? Why shouldn't one just accept there's a God? Interesting questions. But how about is God a person? Does that settle the argument why there's a concept of...

Don Rickles, shoot
What do you really think of the humor of Mr. Warmth? "If Don Rickles insults you, that's a violation. But at the same time, there's the artifice of being in a comedy venue," Brian Malow added. "You know he doesn't mean it, he's playing with you —...

I wonder about the concept of a significant other. Does family, society, the Bible drive us all into that dilemma of chosing for a life partner or rather the one person to love? Isn't that the real reason why were actually not feeling as being...

Question: does one keep instances of losing it to oneself?
Today's society is stressful. But what do you do about it? Keep it all private and try to find an outlet for it? Try to renew yourself each time before going back or coming back from it? Is anyone actually still pushing back on this? Or is the fright...

Trump and Kubrick
Oh yes, perhaps Trump did master the Kubrick Stare, the so-called cinematic pose made famous by Jack Nicholson and Malcolm McDowell. So what? Now I've been wondering for years when it will ever end. After all a Kubrick movie would have ended by now...

The Avatar - A five minute rant
Somehow I got force fed The Avatar this afternoon. I didn't like the movie and I still don't. Can I explain my dislike? Sure, I'll get back to you with more than five minutes of typing it down next time. Now I got onto the internet quickly and...

Since its completion in 1563, Paolo Veronese's 32-foot-long painting The Wedding Feast at Cana has been a true object of admiration. Firstly, an image with religious resonance for the Benedictine monks of Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore Monastery, on...

Does it work?
I'm crashing headlong into the deep hole yet again. The brakes are still in place so I'm not going to hurt myself, but my mind is going absolutely crazy. I have such problems both at work and at home. They seem unsurmountable. Perhaps it's a temporal...

Keep the all loving shepherd always in mind
Barbara Bonney sings "He shall feed his flock like a shepherd" from Handel's Messiah
Life is a funny old thing
