'She was also considered an expert of another thinker, Ludwig Wittengenstein, whose philosophy suggested that there are things that cannot be logically described, and that we should rather remain silent about them. Disproving Wittengenstein's conclusion became one of Bachmann's lifelong goals; through her writing, she strived to express "the unsayable, the mystical, the limit."'

This is immensely disappointing: A24 has become a studio I admire, putting out a variety of Indie films, often with new talent. If they are behind a new film, I'm interested.
But now they want to use AI to replace storyboarding & to "imagine" new projects. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/google-a24-ai-filmmaking-tools-1236787297/
Sorry, A24, but if you go down this road, I won't be watching or reviewing your films. I like my art created by imaginative human beings.

The 1951 classic The African Queen is a great jungle adventure/drama/period romance.
I'm the same age Humphrey Bogart was when this came out and older than Katherine Hepburn was. To quote another film "It's not the years, it's the mileage."
I love all films that start with rain:
rain, braiding a windowpane
or darkening a hung-out dress
or streaming down her upturned face…

*CATBUS*, a fictional character of the #Anime film "My Neighbor Totoro" by Studio Ghibli directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
Who wouldn't like to be transported by it? 😉
"...It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur..." More:

FIGHT THE POWER: PALESTINE 36 INCL. INTRODUCTION
For this edition of Fight The Power: Films of Resistance, presented in collaboration with the Palestinian Film Festival Amsterdam, we’re screening the searing new film by Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir, Palestine 36. Set in British-ruled Palestine in 1936, it follows a young man caught between his village and a restless Jerusalem as the country rises up in the Great Revolt — the largest and longest Palestinian uprising against British colonial rule.
As villages organise and strike, the British answer with collective punishment, home demolitions and mass detention without trial, laying down the machinery of occupation that shapes Palestinian life to this day. Rejecting the distance of the history book, Jacir draws a direct line from 1936 to the present — to the partition of Palestinian land, and to the system that now sustains an ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The screening will open with an introduction from Özge Calafato, writer, curator, academic, and advisor to the Palestinian Film Festival Amsterdam.

As much care as went into making this impressive show (it revealing the breadth of the human condition), it is precisely this that makes it hard to watch but compelling to not ignore.
Especially during this …moment of tyranny — a mere 80 years later.

my books becoming films
I think both the Our Child books and both the Crooked Medium books are very filmable and I'd welcome it. However getting them filmed/ turned into a series is a business and a half. Few end up on screen.
You have to accept you won't have a lot of creative control (unless you sell by the gazillion) And most 'interest' goes nowhere. And film is a different medium.
And I wouldn't do it if AI was superinvolved.
Just want to add because we ran out of characters:

Back in 2016, 'Loving' told the real-life story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a Virginia couple who in 1958, were arrested because interracial marriage was illegal in their home state.
They appealed their case and on the 12th June, 1967, won a landmark civil rights ruling at the US Supreme Court. It's for this reason, why Loving Day is marked on June 12th ❤️

I'm not really cheering for any side on this one, lol.
This is a little greyer than Hot Fuzz.
To celebrate Total Recall turning 36 years old recently, look forward to some follow-up posts.
Total Recall offers a glimpse in the future where ESPN, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Pepsi, Philips, Coca-Cola, and Fujifilm seem to be just some of the larger corporations which advertise very prominently.
