Odd Stuff (Part 2)

About websites on gravestones. I was watching the film Holy Motors by Leos Carax who recently made the Sparks musical Annette.

It’s from 2012 and it’s got a structure like say Bunuel’s Phantom of Liberty with a barely there framing narrative around a bunch of absurd set ups. Anyway the main character is rampaging through a graveyard and all the gravestones say “visit my website…”

I paused the film and typed the first one there. It’s still live!

I guess the film does fit into “odd stuff” pretty well. If I watched it again I doubt I could stop myself checking all the websites. I’m sure they left some surprises in the tombstones.

And so even if a future archaeologist figures it out, there’s still link rot to contend with.

More giraffe research that doesn’t mention penis jousting. Did I dream it?

Often the aggressor* nation was called the “Arianians” . Certainly not a play on the word “Iranian”. Some of these MOUT sites were quite elaborate with fake mosques and calls to prayer being played over speakers. Even the road signs between the villages would be in Arabic or Pashto.

*aggressor used here to mean the nation opposite the US forces in the exercises.

Oh yes. Isso mesmo!

I decided to post this here as I was impressed with the level of detail of the environments.

Just like the F5 fighters that used to act as MIGs.
