God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time. Forty-three species of parrot! Nipples for men! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic?

RIP David Warner (29.7.1941 - 24.7.2022)

"Academically I was hopeless, and athletically I was hopeless. In my Wikipedia entry, it says I had a messy childhood, and that’s the truth! But I sort of drifted into the odd school play, and that was one thing that I kind of felt that I had some enthusiasm for, so I was sort of interested. But I never thought I’d ever become a professional actor or anything. I joined an amateur company when I was a teenager in England, and they wouldn’t let me go onstage in the beginning. They just let me paint scenery and stuff like that. But then I did some amateur theater and decided to try and apply for the Royal Academy Of Dramatic Arts, and - much to everybody’s surprise - I got in!"

Sean Connery as Agamemnon in Time Bandits (1981)

if you even care

#time bandits #hannah is talking #sean connery #such a weird whimsical little movie. I was not expecting Sean Connery to show up. with his huge bare hairy thighs and silly little wig.#I wish I could make decent gifsets. he was writhing around in the dirt with his thighs out in the beginning. fighting a minotaur.#he was like a really good dad to this pale pale little british boy for like no reason. it was so sweet and tender for like absolutely no #reason. they were really like here’s the most (only?)emotional part of this movie and it involves agamemnon adopting this white british boy #and it’s going to be needlessly sad when he has to leave agamemnon. who is now his loving dad. for some reason #whatever!#dadamemnon. if you will

Last weekend I watched a 80s movie called Time Bandits. (This post contains spoilers for the ending.) Because I was watching it largely to avoid the great maw of depression, the memory has the flavor of a fever dream where I know something horrible is lurking around the corner and my survival depends on paying excessive concentration to the details of a whimsical tale that does not move me personally.

Here is one conclusion I cannot escape, after said excessive concentration.

Around the middle of the movie, the child protagonist, Kevin, jumps through a portal in mythical Greece and saves Agamemnon from a minotaur. Agamemnon takes him in and declares him heir, and Kevin displays a clear preference to stay rather than go home to his birth parents (who show no care for him).

Circumstances force Kevin back into modernity, but one minute before the movie's end, his birth parents die in a fiery explosion after touching a Satanic remnant Kevin brought back from his adventures. As Kevin still has the means to travel through time, we can assume he will go back to mythical Greece - what other place has appeal for him?

Agamemnon in the movie has no other children. Clytemnestra was eyeing him rather nastily after he returned from minotaur-killing. The spite was never resolved on screen.

Ergo, Time Bandits is a prequel to the Oresteia, and Kevin's fate is to be Orestes.

#rambl #time bandits #the oresteia #there is a surprising amount of alpha to be found in applying deranged and unloving concentration to a piece of media that is weird
