The Queen Of the flame
--- The Queen of Flame Growing up in the rural parts of South Africa, ambition wasn’t something I lacked especially when it came to grand, foolish ideas. One day, I decided I’d impress my grandfather by mastering the ancient art of fire-making. He always bragged about how he used to do it back in the day. How hard could it be?

The World According to Garp . Top Story - November 2024.
The World According to Garp is a film based, in a very strict sense, on the 1978 bestseller by John Irving. I dreamt it last night, so I realized this was a sign I needed to get up and write about it. Which, by the way, entailed me rewatching it after decades, a rewardingly detached, if enjoyable, experience.

My Doctor Thinks He’s a Comedian!. Top Story - November 2024.
My doctor thinks he’s funny. Always playing it for laughs. I phoned him last week because I thought I had Monkey Pox symptoms. “No problem,” he said. “Swing by tomorrow and I’ll take a look.”

‘By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.’”
Once upon a time, in a small village in ancient Greece, there lived a young man named Alexios. Alexios was quite a romantic; he dreamed of finding his one true love, someone with whom he could share his life and all his adventures. However, his grandmother, a wise old woman who had seen a lot in her life, often warned him with a smile: “Be careful, Alexie. You never know what marriage can bring. It could be luck or... philosophy!'

National Lampoon's Vacation
National Lampoon's Vacation is one of those films, like It's a Wonderful Life, that everyone has already seen, and it in no way abuts the horror or camp exploitation genre, so my readers (all three of them) may well wonder why I would bother to write about it. In reply, I must answer that, besides the catchy theme song from Lindsey Buckingham (I at first assumed this was a woman--a weirdly dour music video on YouTube disabused me of this notion, however), the film is so infectiously entertaining and perfect NOT to make mention of it as a cinematic classic (albeit a bourgeois one) would be somewhat remiss. Also, I had a dream of Chevy Chase being unable to shut a car door, so getting up and watching it is the only thing that seemed to make sense. (Note: I do most everything, make artistic choices, and consume intellectual fodder based around dreams, almost exclusively; or, at the very least, vague intuitions.)

Daisy’s Secret
Daisy was a carpenter in Christchurch, a town renowned for its sceneries and toughness. Quietly she lived within the borders of a small, quaint workshop on the outskirts of the town, enchanted by days warmed by the soothing murmur of the saws and other days filled with the perfume of wood freshly cut. She took every piece she created as imbued with life, a secret that in her heart she kept, like the desire to love and be loved.

Brahma Rakshasa and Fear: The Paradox of Knowledge and Torment
Brahma Rakshasa and Fear: The Paradox of Knowledge and Torment The concept of the Brahma Rakshasa finds its origins in Indian mythology, weaving a complex narrative about fear, knowledge, and the consequences of untamed ambition. A Brahma Rakshasa, as described in ancient Hindu texts, is a learned soul who, despite attaining immense knowledge of the Vedas and scriptures, falls prey to arrogance or fails to pass on his wisdom selflessly. As punishment, he is cursed to exist as a Rakshasa—a demonic entity. This being, who once embodied enlightenment, now roams the earth in a state of torment, consumed by an eternal struggle between wisdom and his monstrous form.

Why Humans Wear Clothes: It’s Not Just About Not Being Naked!
Humans are strange creatures. We walk around wearing layers of fabric, some of us sporting graphic tees, others making questionable fashion choices that make us look like rejected runway models. But have you ever stopped and wondered *why* we do this?

History of the World Part 1
Orson Welles opens History of the World, Part I with that iconic voice, delivering the kind of grandiose, overly serious narration he's famous for. But this time, instead of some high-minded historical documentary, he's setting the tone for Mel Brooks' riotous parody of history itself. The contrast between Welles' weighty delivery and the absurdity unfolding on screen is the first of many jokes in this film. Immediately, we’re introduced to a group of Neanderthals engaging in some very prehistoric frooging, bumping, and grinding. It’s a direct parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but where Kubrick went for awe and mystery, Brooks leans into the lewd and ludicrous. These cavemen aren’t interested in the mysteries of the monolith; they’re simulating a variety of sexual acts, reveling in crude humor, and setting the tone for the irreverent ride through history to come.
