It's 'intriguing' that The Telegraph appears, um, to be making literal capital from alleging - in the shock-tactic mode of 'revealing' stuff *and* a nick-name ! - summat to do with flights by the European Commission's President :https://t.co/VEQS56oFDr#KatharinaBlumWasNoLie !

It's intriguing, because *this* - which anyone could have said, any time [as it didn't really need a Werner Tötges on the case] - is apparently 'revealed' hypocrisy, but cute little #Shove, etc. or even banker Mirage are fine ? :https://t.co/LDLMatExbIhttps://t.co/osT5G0cs1T

Yes - we saw Biden with eyes closed. But we only saw Johnson animated.

His interests are only their interests, as that rag-doll of a puppy-idiot suits them as well as it suits him, and make him 'happy' and 'fun' :
If we mistake cause for effect, we miss that it's pretty Nietzschean [Twilight of the Idols and The Anti-Christ ?].
Musing, as I am now (a year on frm Tenet (2020)), and finally seeing much that Nolan submerged in it (a good film ?) - with his use of the palindrome in the Sator / Rotas word-square, and with Sator (played by Branagh), pressing a button à la Strangelove to end all Strangeloves : https://t.co/RBPk3JPree

As with Brecht's Arturo Ui, or Frisch in Biedermann und die Brandstifter (and the latter's chilling Epilogue, from the 1960 revision), it's working that saying about history as a reversal of time (and referencing Cher's song in writing my response) :

yeah, but back then it was THE ONLY FILM

I really meant 'Sator / Rotas word-square', as - looking into it* - it seems that it had 'started its life' / had predecessor versions in which 'Rotas' was the first line (and 'Sator' the last), not vice versa.

Of interest to 'Paul is dead' theorists ?

I don't think that Schrader means it that way anyway / either way ?

Kill Bill Vol. 1 would be far, far worse for patients' sense of well-being, etc. !#ComaScene
Ah, but Schrader was in hospital, and Tenet's run-time is c. 2½h ?

I have :
(a) Re-thought it loads since my review in 2020,
(b) Read the screenplay [first spotted at NFT shop¹], and
(c) Re-watched it.
¹ I didn't need or want to pay a x2½ uplift on cover-price (= £25²) !
² No least as, where one would expect to find cast, crew and technical info (which IMDb often does so poorly), there's none - instead, it's bulked out with storyboards, fitted two per page in a portrait page-format, when, if included at all, they need landscape and one per page.
