THE BLACK TOWER (1987): Channel 4 aired John Smith's experimental 'architectural horror' short about a man haunted by a black building which follows him everywhere he goes. A metaphor for depression, it fell into the same 'seen once, never forgotten' category as La Cabina.

Talking of rarities, have you covered A Child's Voice with TP McKenna?

Ooh, not yet! I've got that on my 'to watch' list!

I found this deeply upsetting in a way I couldn't define - makes sense that it was a metaphor for depression!

I am so glad you mentioned La Cabina. I had no idea what it was called as no one else seems to remember it, but I will never forget it. Brilliantly disturbing.

Not seen this one but La Cabina left a mark on me when first released. One of those late night movies that just sucked you in Damn that was creepy, nightmares for weeks

I hadn't heard of this, now I doubt I'll ever forget it. Thanks, I think. 🤪

MUHA/THE FLY (1967): Aleksandar Marks' terrifying animation for Zagreb Film was aired by Channel 4 in the late 80s/early 90s. Revolving around the relationship between a man and a fly (which grows to enormous size), it's one of those 'once seen, never forgotten' gems.

Christopher Nolan spent nearly a decade developing the screenplay for the film, which began as an 80-page treatment about dream-stealers. He originally envisioned it as a horror film before reshaping it into a heist story.

The CIA agents set a perfect trap and the target fell for it, Joe didn't have to Chase the target he made the target come to him. This shows no matter how strong a man is, once a woman is used as a bait he will always fall for it.

Reminder: John Fetterman — the same Senator who won’t sign a letter demanding accountability for 168 dead children — once chased an innocent Black jogger with a shotgun and still hasn’t apologized. That was 2013. The man did nothing wrong. Fetterman pulled a weapon on him anyway. No charges against the jogger. No apology from Fetterman. Ever. This is a pattern. When accountability is required, Fetterman disappears. When power is in his hands, he wields it without remorse. The same man who won’t put his name on a letter for dead schoolgirls pointed a shotgun at an unarmed Black man and never said sorry. Character is consistent.

The truth about the legendary Beethoven. Many of his contemporaries described him as a Black man. It’s documented in history books and by scholars that Beethoven was a Moor; Blacks were called Moors in Europe. Moor is short for Moreno, which means black. In the 18th century, Europeans used the term "Moor" to refer to people with darker complexions. Prince Nicholas Esterhazy referred to both Beethoven and Haydn as "Moors"

“The left has normalized racism. This is a fact. The racism runs so deep that it has even found its way into the mouth of a former President that has been accepted by the current nominee for the Democratic Party.” Obama said in no uncertain terms that they haven’t seen the type of turnout & energy by the black population as they did when he ran. He also stated concern that people aren’t feeling the idea of a woman president, but should vote for Kamala because she’s a black woman. Imagine voting on race over policy? Imagine if Trump said we should be voting for a man over a woman? Or a white man over a black man? That would never be accepted. “Do you support a country that judges people on the basis of their race and skin? A vote for Kamala is a vote for that and a vote for the same exact racism we fought back against for a century.” 👇
