Mon Mat

 

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote:

“Though basically routine in plot and substance, this lively crime thriller has the particular advantage of a freshly observed hero in Caesar Smith, convincingly played by Denis Shaw as a heavily built but agile Scotland Yard man with a dexterous line in judo.”

In running this film, which is all right to a point, I do need to have a moan about 60s films/movies. The caveat is that we’re talking youtube films/movies, which are but a fraction of the whole, plus we have different tastes, do we not, plus changing tastes with age.

What I clearly remember about the 70s was that the violence was now in slow motion for sickheads, whereas in the 60s, it was just violence, in the 50s it was suggesting it, in the 40s it was more cleverly treated. As time went on, films became more gauche, lacking in finesse.

The 80s were bland in every way imho … in either music or film … it was the greed decade, the yuppies … and everything was brown. In architecture, red brick had given way to unnatural light brown, actors were in brown, film titles became more rounded, more Helvetica.

During the 90s, I was away from home, probably thank goodness.

Jeanne la Pucelle

 

There are three threads running through this topic which has always been dear to me … first, obviously, is the story of Joan herself and what happened. Second is the presenter who continues to impress with his manner, with his straightforwardness … he’d make a great teacher … not full of himself, yet he has done his homework.

Third is that some of what Joan said has had quite an impact on my own approach to Christianity and you can see part of what she said in the screenshots beliw the youtube.


Indeed … it all came down to “submitting” to the men who usurped the bible and people’s access to it and made themselves the Sole Authority, not unlike Ardern did in NZ, calling herself the one source of truth. Note the capital C in Church, whereas below, she spoke in a small c way.

Even the non Christian “other side” is fascinated by the phenomenon … just how she could get her initial goal achieved … break the siege, crown the king. Please note that there’s some sort of weird intro for all of two minutes … then the song starts. May I suggest going straight to 2:00. The band, by the way, is Amon Duul 3 or Amon Duul UK, re-gathered sometime after the French-German Amon Duul II expired.

The grievous error made by Julie Wareing or st least the songwriter is the line “come with me, together we could rule the world”.

Pure Woke feminazism from the mid 80s … woman can do anything, better than men, better even than God at times. It is huge mental sickness, turning the voices of angels driving Joan onwards into some sort of superwoman goddess.

I suspect that in the real story, Joan having avhieved that twofold, inspired goal, she was so taken by her newfound fame that she tried it, uninspired, in other theatres of war, only to fail. The rest was history. She was inspired for the duration of that initial goal … then she should have retired to her home.

But the hype got to her. Christy spoke about such feminazism here:

It’s a salutary lesson as to what is possible when inspired … and what is not, once human ego steps in and rules.

The expression on the face says it all. I don’t know this bint but she really is no different to the troughers in any parliament, Farage included. My question is … are they selected for ambition and low moral compass or do they become that way once parachuted in and meeting the evil muvvers?

5. Penseivat at Sunday 6

“Not certain whether half of the sentence is reduced ‘for good behaviour’ as soon as the prison van goes through the gates in order to stop overcrowding or an official liberal outlook that the recidivist can be rehabilitated, but perhaps it should stop. Azim was sentenced to 16 years in 2013, giving a release date of 2029. If it is the same Azim, Lily Whitehouse could be alive today, falling in love, marrying, having children. Because of government diktats on so called justice, Lily never had that opportunity, and a family grieved. Personally, I reckon that bloke in Colombia is on the right track.”

b. GB News did us proud yesterday with excellent live coverage of the commemorations from the recently completed memorial at Ver-sur-Mer in Normandy. Very moving with almost a hundred new names added – due to a clerical error from 80 years ago they were not listed when the British Normandy Memorial was being engraved. If you visit you will find them under ‘Addenda’.

Bless ’em all, bless ’em all, the long and the short and the tall..

a) Data centres in the news. The EU Commission’s proposal to triple data centre capacity over the next five to seven years is intended to help Europe catch up with China and America in the race to unlock the potential of AI….

b) The French National Assembly has dropped the most controversial part of a child protection bill that would have lifted the seal of confession in cases of violence against minors. The provision, which sought to challenge sacramental secrecy….

c) Why the EU Migration Pact Is more important than you think.

d) Trump spoke for China’s Catholics—The Pope stayed silent. The Vatican’s commitment to multilateral engagement is colliding with the reality of mounting repression against China’s faithful.

Another “quota quicky” but not bad for all that.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: “Ever since Rififi (1955), the theme of the intricate, detailed planning of a robbery, and its daring execution, has been done to death on every level of production. This second feature uses the same hackneyed idea, but manages to rise above routine through convincing characterisation, deft treatment, good acting, and realistic incidentals.”

The “Babylonian Captivity” of the Papacy

 

My criticisms of presentations in the previous post on the Nissen Hut do not really apply in this series on church history. His voice is straightforward, his key dates appearing onscreen when they need to, the lack of “preachiness”, even though he obviously belueves, along with the historical angle the whole way.

It still misses certain things about, say, the Merovingians and Franks, the Templars, which I’d not expect him to be au fait with … what they really found beneath the mount, the way they sailed away with booty, the increasing corruption and perversion. This came to a head in Phillip of France’s time … himself corrupt and brooking no rivals … thus the torture and killing of de Molay and Templars, thus the allegations of gross perversion and other things.

I can see that this presenter goes along with the accusations being beat ups, that the Templars were not corrupt. Except they were and today, the Illumined continue the tradition … I’ve been down this rabbit hole for the past two decades and a half … an example was P2 in the Vatican. One online source way back was a chap using the name Ephesians 5:12, not religious but an apostate Mason. And yes … they did get to him eventually.

Just before playing the YT, another I watched was quite aligned with how I think on’t … or vice-versa, I’m aligned with him … his contention is a question … the early church was essentially apostolic, it grew from there and was fairly aligned in theology. Then something changed and there are references to Paul and Peter at odds on observance, then obviously the seven churches, eventually Constantinople itself … and so on. This chap’s question was: “Is Christ divided?” If the answer is no, then how did the denominations, often mutually exclusive, come about?

And his answer was that they started following a man, not Christ himself, a man calling himself a Man of God. The assumed divine powers, the visionary ability of the Bishop of Rome were something the Vatican has always assumed for itself, pushed, backed by vast financial resources, clothed in pageantry and high churchery, just as the royals do. Think you know my view of this man or that assuming for himself the role of spokesman for God. The orthodox were certainly not enamoured of the powerplays of the Bishop of Rome.

And then came Avignon, where I stayed a short while … yes, I’ve been on that bridge.
