Leaving January 30


I lived another day yeah? I worked until 7:30. While at work I listened to The Fall - Live in Cambridge 1988
After work I came home and worked on the blog post for the 31st while listening to a couple records on the turntable.



After a late dinner, I finished watching "The Exterminating Angel". Read a couple reviews about the film. It was my second viewing, which I didn't realize until about 20 minutes in. It's a really wild film, I gotta say. Definitely going back for thirds someday if I am able. Have you seen it? What do you make of the bear? The repetition of the scene where the guests arrive? From the Wikipedia page: "Though Buñuel never explained how to interpret the film, leaving it to each viewer to decide, American film critic Roger Ebert wrote a lengthy interpretation of the film as symbolic of class conflict: "The dinner guests represent the ruling class in Franco's Spain. Having set a banquet table for themselves by defeating the workers in the Spanish Civil War, they sit down for a feast, only to find it never ends. They're trapped in their own bourgeois cul-de-sac. Increasingly resentful at being shut off from the world outside, they grow mean and restless; their worst tendencies are revealed""


I've got "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" cued up on Tubi.
It's another film by Luis Buñuel from 1972. Synopsis: ...Bunuel's satiric, Oscar-winning masterpiece, an upper-class sextet sits down to dinner but never eats, their attempts continually thwarted by a vaudevillian mixture of events both actual and imagined.
Looking forward to it.


Also this stupid shit

Goodnight.
