The developer of #CarolReed forwarded a mail by a player today where she is criticizing the LGBTQIA+ themes in the recent games "even before the LGBTQ plague" started.

He said he didn't even notice it in the games and had no actual intent to even put it there, but is happy that it can apparently be found and will probably put even more in the next games now. 😂

I'm happy I created #EgoVenture for this guy. 🥰

Doing household stuff with The Third Man playing in the background.

I'd forgotten just how manic, wobbly, happy and all pervasive a character the zither of Anton Karas plays.
Vienna still (sic) looks grimy yet magnificent under Robert Krasker's film eye.

Multi section manhole covers leading to helical staircases still surprise.
Echoes.

A ★★★★½ review of The Third Man (1949)

Welles, Cotton and Howard = the dream trio for perhaps the film noir of all time. Masterful! Add a solid and intruiging Alida Valli for all the depth (also in black-white contrasts) that adds up to this work by a true author. (Carol Reed) You won't ever forget that ending, am I right? In a famous scene, Lime meets Martins on the Wiener Riesenrad in the Prater amusement park. Looking down on the people below from his vantage point, Lime compares them to dots, and says that it would be insignificant if one of them or a few of them

After days preparing an exhibition application and inconveniences to uploading, I found solace in #TCM having pirate movies from the 30's and 50's while filling in the forms. Now I'm onto criminal penicillin distributors in postwar Vienna and their dime store pulp writer friends with zither soundtracks. Echoes of how we feel about capitalism's tether on healthcare.
