2024 Movie Diary
18. Leave Her to Heaven (1946)
It's not a perfect movie by any means, but when you've got the divine Gene Tierney pulling out all the stops as one of cinema's great sociopaths, Ellen Berent. Miraculously, in addition to being a monster, she's almost unbearably vulnerable. Tierney is sensational, and renders this an absolute must-see.
They called him "The Fish" due to his thin, narrow build, but Real Quiet could run with the best of them. An late bloomer at two, Real Quiet really came into himself at three, winning the first two legs of the Triple Crown, and losing the Belmont, and the crown, in the last stride to an onrushing Victory Gallop. He was a fine performer in the handicap division at 4, until an injury cut his career short. He sired a few top quality runners, but these were few and far between, and he ended his days on a Pennsylvania farm, where he died as the result of a paddock accident at 15.
The ultimate in virtue signaling. I don't care if you choose an EV. Just don't pretend it's something it isn't.
Truth bombs from an unlikely source.

You read and write and sing and experience, thinking that one day these things will build the character you admire to live as. You love and lose and bleed best you can, to the extreme, hoping that one day the world will read you like the poem you want to be.

Off To the gallows
Dearly hoping for Nuremberg 2.0.
One of the glories of the classical repertoire.
Their gaslighting is outrageous. And so easily disproven.
Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

Juan van der Hamen ‘A dish of cherries and plums’
He sees each tear that falls And hears me when I call...
There's salvation in Your name...
