Primer

I find I have to refer to this picture at least one a week:

In Primer, Aaron and Abe create a device to somehow counter the effects of gravity. Their main approach to achieve this is to discard the coolant bath for the required superconductors.

They instead increase the transition temperature of the superconductor to "something more usable" by "knock[ing] out the interior magnetic field." The machine operates on the principles of the Meissner effect. The characters allude to this as they design the machine.

Aaron and Abe require palladium to build their machine. This is the reason they take the catalytic converter from a car (catalytic converters contain small amounts of palladium).

The principles of time travel in the film are inspired by Feynman diagrams. Carruth explained: "Richard Feynman has some interesting ideas about time. When you look at Feynman diagrams which map the interaction of elementary particles, there's really no difference between watching an interaction happen forward and backward in time."

Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950)

Where the sidewalk ends darkness prevails, and in the night, nobody can see who’s the good guy and who’s the bad guy.

Dana Andrews in Where the Sidewalk Ends

Where the sidewalk ends, you’re on your own, making your own moral choices, with no guidance other than your past, and your own spur of the moment errors — your own dry, cold and helpless anger.

In this devilish and dangerous land, noir fuels the already heavy paranoia — and Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950) is an epic film noir, one of the greats, and it drives the cynicism home before kicking it to death in the garage.

Bigger Than Life (1956)

Bigger Than Life was a DeLuxe Color CinemaScope film made in 1956 directed by Nicholas Ray and starring James Mason, who also co-wrote and produced the film.

Bigger Than Life concerns a school teacher and family man whose life spins out of control upon becoming addicted to cortisone. The film co-stars Barbara Rush as his wife and Walter Matthau as his closest friend, a fellow teacher.

James Mason in that traditional Hollywood 'car shot' driving to score some cortisone

Though it was a box-office flop upon its initial release, many modern critics hail it as a masterpiece and brilliant indictment of contemporary attitudes towards mental illness and addiction.

Barbara Rush in Bigger Than Life

Schoolteacher and family man Ed Avery (James Mason) has been suffering bouts of severe pain and even blackouts. He is hospitalised with what's diagnosed as polyarteritis nodosa, a rare inflammation of the arteries. Told by doctors that he probably has only months to live, Ed agrees to an experimental treatment: doses of the hormone cortisone.

This is where it all goes wrong however, and Ed's abuse of the cortisone is brilliantly portrayed, as is his struggle with addiction and descent into almost Nietzschean madness.

The Magpie on the Gallows by Pieter Breugel the Elder

It's possible that The Magpie on the Gallows was Breugel's last work. The artist is known to have asked his wife to burn some of his pictures on his death, but told her to keep The Magpie on the Gallows for herself.

If you look carefully you can see someone defecating in the lower left corner, not a common sight in 16th Century art . . . But there are plenty reasons for this rude intrusion.

Marcel Duchamp - Art and its Viewers

“The exchange between what one / puts on view [the whole / setting up to put on view (all areas)] / and the glacial regard of the public (which sees / and forgets immediately) / Very often / this exchange has the value / of an infra thin separation / (meaning that the more / a thing is admired / and looked at the less there is an inf. T. / sep)."

Detour into Film Noir

With Mr Puppy as my last chance send, I did press unsend to you saying: it pleaseth me to be not sent today, mail-king, and dirty old man like, I hang around your PC with unwaving stillness in this the motion of your good day. “This is what I am writing now.”

There! I cry, now it is wrote in ink! Trailer for sale or rent! And zipped in the in-drive you are chuffing handled to grab.

Take now what I have now unmade and remade on your Decem-Top.

See you, you Lord.

Wife Fighting on the Island of Unst

Wife fighting was made illegal on Unst in 1989, but it is now on the rise again. It is a barabaric practice and should be stopped, but it is quite difficult to persuade locals that it is outdated, and just wrong.

Aikey Brae

Aikey Brae stone circle, Buchan, Scotland

On Aikey Brae, it is said one of the Earls of Buchan fell from his horse at hunting, and was killed.

History suggests that this happened because the earl had called the great prognosticator Thomas the Rhymer, Thomas the Lyer.

- - never insult the diviner - -

Though Thomas the Lyar thou call’st me,
A sooth tale I shall tell to thee
By Aiky-side thy horse shall ride,
He shall stumble and thou shalt fa’;
Thy neck-bane shall break in twa,
And maugre all thy kin and thee,
Thy own belt thy bier shall be.

There isn't any special significance with the donkeys, I just keep a box of postcards here and this is the one I pulled out today. Still, I believe Barrett does occasionally read the work of the odd ancient Greek thinker, so perhaps the Grecian angle is one part apt . . .
