Knees Up - twopj:

You guys spend a lot of time complaining about sequels and remakes and rehashes and reboots and covers and George Lucas. Firstly I think this comes from a place of nostalgia, which I reject out of hand because now is always better than then. And it's this impossibly glamorized and sensationalized then, which has no bearing on reality. You remember the feelings you felt, not the actual quality of the thing, which makes no sense to us. While we may all meet for a kickball game over the weekend, you're doing it as a return to a golden time, while we're in a place we never left. Nothing gets broken and nothing gets replaced. We don't really have a yearning for childhood because it's always there, accessible. You're so used to dividing things up between then and now, good and bad, childhood freedom and workaday slavery, that you think things can be lost. Or taken away, or misplaced. And to me this is just a part of the collector brain working, this privilege of the physical and analogue over the available and digital.

..watch Jessica Chastain:
Take Shelter (fothercoming; t malick recommended Chastain to 'the younger director')

Stolen lives 2009 /mm this is good ..ok maybe not in th end. maybe the presnt day jn hmm unint. but if th just a frame, the storyline is 1958 --- that story very compelling.
pervasive sense mystery, in the resonant beats, in th story even quite apart from the crime: what had happened that Pearl sad after John born, was Aunt Cora her sister and why did her husband Jonas think that Matthew shld not have married her and why is it he says ~ first two boys Mark & Luke have her blood not his ~? then, into the action of it, felt as if others conspired ~ Rose seemed to look off to the side after tryst, as if to see, was that enough time, did he get the boy? (as if in on it w Diploma.) and the police officer and strange Mike the bartender who did not want to get into trouble about a kid in the bar or Rose in the bar without her possessive husband (who Jonas to me prefigured: unexpectedly difficult men). I do not think any of this was them conspiring, rather: the feeling of that, suspicion due everywhere, an unsafe world.
and mystery, haunting, open questions simply in the movement in time, the displacement into th past. so that we hear 'talk to the Swede' and we put it together, oh Billy Burns's son said there was a Swede, that's the one worker he remembered. each connection, just of this person in the present time here is this person from back then in 1958 (Edvina, the young daughter of Cora & Jonas; then Luke, Mtthw's middle son; and only finally diploma b roggiani) feels like finding out, uncovering *disclosing unconcealmnt*, a clue that resolves.

*or is it maggie just farrell? no am right to put O' but it's After You'd Gone (2000). and right, I have her new novel, The Hand That First Held Mine. I like her. A life less ordinary: Maggie O'Farrell's diaries have provided the author with.. - Features, Books - The Independent "Families are endlessly interesting to writers," she says. "If you've got five people, like the family I grew up in" – she is the middle sister of three – "then you've got 20 different relationships. It's a ready-made crucible." y. family, or a group of friends. an epic.
"I remember at the age of five saying I wanted to write a story and asking my mother if she would write it for me. She said, 'If I wrote it, it would be my story, it wouldn't be yours.' I was very struck by this, the idea of authorship and ownership."

anyway as soon as I am thinking
about the position of direct and indirect objects, I find that I am
thinking of Deutsch 'akkusativ' and 'dativ'.


cadence ~ minding of?

If it form the one landscape that we, the inconstant ones,
Are consistently homesick for, this is chiefly
Because it dissolves in water.
...
The blessed will not care what angle they are regarded from,
Having nothing to hide. Dear, I know nothing of
Either, but when I try to imagine a faultless love
Or the life to come, what I hear is the murmur
Of underground streams, what I see is a limestone landscape.


{ How but with some real focus of desolation could I, by analogy, imagine a Love that, however often smeared, shrugged at, .. does not abandon? }
