Vielleicht stehe ich ja auf dem Schlauch und/oder habe alles an Verwandtschaftsethnologie verdrängt, aber: Wer oder was ist denn die „Mutter väterlicherseits“? [Screenshot der Sendung „Markus Lanz“ vom 28.09.2023 bei 58:07 Minuten]

This week I went down into the cellar and salvaged my three pairs of western #boots I bought in the late #1980s and early '90s. The rest of the afternoon I spent refurbishing them while watching "The Electric Horseman" (Pollack 1979) starring #RobertRedford and #JaneFonda. Quite an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, I have to say. #fashion #retro #vintage #vintagefashion #GenerationX #cowboy

An open letter by legendary italian director Federico #Fellini to equally legendary french #comic book artist Jean "#Moebius" Giraud, published in "#HeavyMetal Presents Moebius" (1981). #federicofellini #film #cinema #movies #comics #comicbooks #comicart

Yesterday evening I spent two hours in the #theatre listening to legendary #actor #KlausMariaBrandauer reading an assortment of well-chosen texts to us. Absolutely fabulous! Well, I couldn't help myself and wore this pair of #cufflinks to the occasion.

So, the idea in #ForzaHorizon4 is to choose the cars you simply like best, and then look for tuning kits made by specialist fellow players. Now I have a Lamborghini Miura (produced between 1966 and 1973), and a Lotus Esprit S1 (1976), both behaving like 2020s hypercars. #gaming #videogames #classiccar #sportscar #lotus

My recommendation for tonight is to read John Marks' recent short piece on #RudyGiuliani and then watch "The Verdict" (1982) directed by #SidneyLumet from a screenplay by #DavidMamet and starring #PaulNewman. #film #cinema #movies #law #justice https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/07/opinions/rudy-giulianis-two-sides-ctpr-marks/index.html

Is it conceivable that Agent 47 – a perfect assassin – wears a red tie to his black signature suit, because the last of the Metabarons – a dynasty of perfect warriors – wears a red T-shirt to his black attire? The Metabaron first appeared in the "Incal" #graphicnovels, written by Alejandro #Jodorowsky and illustrated by #Moebius (aka #JeanGiraud), in 1980. Twenty years prior to the first game of the #Hitman franchise. #gaming #videogames #comic #comics #comicbooks #comicart #graphicnovel

Did you know that magnificent #actress #HannaSchygulla met Giacomo #Casanova, Chevalier de Seingalt, at least twice? First as the Comtesse Sophie de la Borde in "That Night in Varennes" (Scola 1982), opposite #MarcelloMastroianni as Casanova, and then five years later playing his mother in the TV-movie "Casanova" (Langton 1987) – this time #RichardChamberlain is playing the titular role.

The first #movie I watched in 2023 is "That Night in Varennes" (Scola 1982) starring a fantastic #MarcelloMastroianni, playing an elderly Giacomo #Casanova, a formidable #HarveyKeitel, and a fabulous #HannaSchygulla, and generally an absolutely stunning cast, including Jean-Louis Trintignant and Michel Piccoli. Taking place in France in 1791 the #film is at the same time a #roadmovie and an intimate play, taking place inside the carriages drawn by horses and the coaching inns they stop over at.
