16. Giorgia, with whom many of us are wildly in love
… posts this:
For those less Italian in temperament, that last paragraph again:
“And here’s another splendid example of the left: the one that for decades has lectured us about respecting women, but then, lacking any arguments, calls a woman a prostitute to criticize her.”
The genuinely gory horrors started, afa I can remember, just into the 70s, although the 1962 Lord of the Flies was not a lot of fun to be sure. I’m not a horror fan in the least, even twee 50s attempts, and site policy here is always the same … make reference to, provide conduits to go see for yourself … just not to run repugnant excrescences themselves here on the main page, e.g. any pic of Elton John or Clackers, no Podesta drawings.
50s “horror” is safe enough as a rule and I fully admit the ploy to undercut the actual horror presented … the ludicrous sfx in this one below are “safe enough”. As we’re very closely connected to libertarian themes at our alt-sites, that looks very much like censorship, that which I’m doing.
My riposte is to say that we always try to at least make reference to, or offer a conduit to, or give a clue to, those topics the media won’t touch … that’s part of our mission … and there are five separate places to choose to run them from … but another part of the mission here is to also present a reliable, daily compendium which is NOT going to suddenly show you a Hirst statue of a pregnant teen or some rainbow vileness or some other horror which cannot be unseen. You want that … go find it yourself. You want Sydney Sweeney’s bare funbags … go find them yourself.
On this movie, one wag noted:
One reviewer wrote:
“The film that helped usher in Hollywood’s giant bug craze, this isn’t half-bad. Special effects are pathetic even for the time, but the story is gripping enough and the acting first-rate. Peter Graves plays a scientist working on food growth via radiation. Grasshoppers get at these plants and grow to the size of a bus. They find humans much tastier than their usual fare. They invade Chicago after tearing up the countryside, and it’s a race to the finish to see whether anything can be done to stop them before the Army nukes Chicago. Morris “Colonel Fielding” Ankrum is a grumpy general, and Peggie Castle is a reporter investigating the story. Lots of fun. We never see the monsters actually come into contact with any of the humans they devour, but the closeup facial shots of various actors about to be eaten are priceless.”
The whole notion of grasshoppers is quite connected to the biblical locusts, and the title of this movie is also a giveaway … plus, if you think back to the 50s’ “paranoia”, if in fact it was paranoia … well, it’s not far removed from our situation right now in 2025.
Further post to come … once written at some stage.

Oh such mystique in three numbers, ra ra ra, yeah yeah, op ed, housekeeping.
I was once called a drifter by a guy in reference to his girl but let’s not dwell on that. My defence was that we often try our darndest to achieve something and are stymied. For example, some once said try, try and try again. WC Fields added, “Then quit, no point being a darned fool about it.”
More accurate, to my mind, is that there are some things which are going to fall into place, some that aren’t. If they do, carpe diem is the strategy, but that requires eternal biblical vigilance, which in yutn lays one open to charges of opportunism.
I’m thinking that not seizing a chance to do right is a crime in itself, as Edmund Burke might say. That’s quite different to opportunism with no moral compass. Take our current societal malaise, engineered that way. Svali said, in 2000, that these people make mistakes. Carpe diem.
I might add … eternal biblical vigilance … yes, that did mean keeping ourselves in order, our noses clean, our powder dry, prepared to act in a moment … but in reference to the return of the Lord … whereas I’m using it to mean to take opportunities laid upon our table.
Our more active readers might add … we make our own opportunities, we carve our own way through the mountains … yes, agreed. Our strategy needs to be a mix of all of those, methinks, a blend of approaches, holding onto universal truisms, always with the mindset we have here, also with some sort of rediscovered moral compass … yes, all of those, as my dear mum used to say.
What’s all that to do with 2-31-24? The 2 is the number of films or episodes which turned up to run as matinees, the 31 is the number of sshots gathered this morning for the regular items, having run out last night … the 24 is something which just finished ten minutes ago.
My cunning plan this morning was to do this and that job, make that ohone call, call MMutR, cook, prepare etc. etc.
What I did instead was see a mass of YT recommendations, all at the one time, and from experience, they are ephemeral … they disappear as fast as they appear. So I had to strike, to save, right now, nit an hour from now.
They include items from brilliant to rare to par for the course. I deleted 2 of em but the 24 remaining will tide us over for our short feature slots for some time … each had its points of great interest. What chance eh?
“The whole piece is well worth reading as a reminder of the absurd, cloying bureaucratic tyranny which has sucked the life, the vital spark out of our freedom and almost everything we once valued.”
“Bentine is an interesting man, not just for this and other comedy work. He was an expert pistol shot who trained the SAS in his style; also he wrote of psychic experiences in his non-fiction and autobiographies – perhaps he inherited from his Peruvian father some of the otherworldly spiritual strain found in South America.”
(0513) If I’m a bit tardy in posting, dear reader, it’s not through sloth or snoozing … there are 15 items gathered, ready to run, plus today’s horror film (yes, you read that right) is loaded, ready to roll, plus our first feature short soon, after Thur 10. Grey and Gates poison gloomy out there … no matter, lots on here and at our brother/sister sites too, let alone on X. (0812)

France. The prospect of censure is receding, but political tensions are far from over. Members of Parliament are preparing to plunge into debates that promise to be epic.
After his baptism of fire in questions to the government in the National Assembly on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, the Prime Minister went to the Senate to deliver a statement on his general policy.
