It's the glare from the reflection making patterns in your eye

Apologies for the list format. There will be a post with actual content when I get back from running errands.

1. I have been forgetting to post a link to this for days: Profane Love: Derek Jarman and Caravaggio, a video essay by Matt Cheney.

2. I don't believe these people are angling for an Ig Nobel, but I suspect it will be some kind of miscarriage of science if they don't eventually get one: they are fundraising to study the explosive erections of ducks.

3. I am hoping to watch Obsession (1949) tonight on TCM. It's a crime film/thriller made in England by Edward Dmytryk during his Hollywood blacklist period; I've read about it, but never even seen a copy in a library. I don't believe it exists on DVD. For people who have televisions and like Robert Newton, you might want to check your local schedule.

schreibergasse, my nephew called this morning to thank me for Dragonbreath. Success.

Oh, I've just found out Martin's acquired Caravaggio! I'll check out this essay after we've watched the film. Thanks for the link (and also for adding me).

Thanks for the link (and also for adding me).

My pleasure. Caravaggio was the first Jarman I ever saw, last November with rushthatspeaks. We fell in love.
