Sangue de Vampiro (Blood of the Vampire) SINOPSE: Na Transilvânia da década de 1870, o cientista Dr. Callistratus é condenado à morte por aldeões que acreditam erroneamente que ele é um vampiro. No entanto, seu capanga horrivelmente desfigurado, Carl, está à disposição para orquestrar um transplante de coração que salva vidas. Informações técnicas: DIREÇÃO: Henry Cass ROTEIRO: Jimmy…

[searchingforserendipity25]

it's a good thing conclave didn't waste any time on making the stories about catholic orders and their in-fighting. and probably i shouldn't either because i am not informed enough about it to go on at length. pls take all of this w a grain of salt.

but i know in my heart of hearts that aldo bellini is a progressive liberal jesuit, the holy father's specialest most progressive liberal italian-american jesuit.

look at him. look at his glasses. those are the glasses of a man who did his dissertation on reinterpreting loyola through a contemporary reformist lens. academic wunderkid. has sooo much beef w the editors of american jesuit weekly. possibly the events of conclave are occurring in a better more beautiful world where aldo bellini is the editor of american jesuit weekly.

the late holy father for sure was a progressive jesuit also. vr pope francis coded. and low-key set him up as a successor. for a while, that seemed nearly a sure thing in some circles.

but there is the fact. well. the fact that everyone is tired, done and tired of jesuits, progressive or otherwise.

this among other factors meant he couldn't consider him the best option, besides whatever character judgement and uncanny machievallien prediction he came up with.

adeyemi has that benedictine swag which makes his potential election particularly seem like a breath of fresh air + reliable + lots of influence. tremblay is giving dominican drip and dominican corruption. and dominican flop. his nespresso machine? it's giving dominican also.

tedesco has to be an italian-founded order member. most hypocrital salesian of all times maybe?? this is unrelated to the fact that i was nearly enrolled in a salesian primary school and the weirdly panopticon-ish playground didn't pass the vibe check. and also because: consider tedesco rising in the ranks of an order created to help migrant workers...someone kick him in the head for me pls.

who even knows about benítez. i want to say franciscan but that might be just too on the nose. cistercian?? honestly it would work well if he is also without affiliation.

this lens does make lawrence's homily being interpreted as a campaign speech more understandable (and particularly funny).

because, as far as anyone can tell, he's fully running as an independent candidate. zero platform besides - if i fuck up i'll apologize and do better and be held accountable, which is more than any of you probably would.

and because he stands alone, he can be held accountable. he can belong to all, and not one faction only. as far as anyone can tell, he's burning bridges with bellini and rocking the status quo.

he is speaking to/from a place of frustration with institutional inertia and factionalism, he is using his position as dean to bravely promote a platform for internal change in the curia, he is offering doubt as an alternative to certainty, he is pulling an absolute wildcard move.

pity he didn't mean it.

pity the the only order lawrence is interested in joining is the most hardcore discalced carmelite experience possible.

you know how some people look into luxurious real estate listings like it's porn? that's lawrence w tiny monasteries. the sort of minuscule organization with not enough people for management to be necessary. too small for politics. as close to erasure as you can get in this world: no need to be useful.

serving god by existing only to meditate on him. a narrow slant of a life, at that. barely taking up space, barely casting a shadow.

his favorite is a decrepit wreck of a place in the middle of southern spain, nowhere. no wifi no speaking aloud no possessions. no shoes no food. no nothing, only prayer. and a big big sky overhead.

maybe that will fix his issues with reaching god. if that doesn't work he'll probably just wander into the tabernas desert and become an hermit. works for some people, supposedly; plenty of order founders seem to believe so, anyway.

Polizeiruf 110: Spiel gegen den Ball, 22.06, 20.15 Uhr, ARD

[hanna-water]

Ich fand "Spiel gegen den Ball" zwar nicht ganz rund (no pun intended) aber war positiv überrascht von der Folge. Die Kritiken klangen ja nicht so begeistert aber mir hat es ganz gut gefallen. Sehr starke Schauspieler:innen und die Charaktere und Sets wirkten sehr echt... glaubhaft. Ich mag an diesem Polizeiruf auch immer den Mix aus Polnisch und Deutsch sehr und Vincent + Alexandra sind einfach ein klasse Team. Die beiden könnte ich mir immer zusammen anschauen. Irgendwie hatte ich aber das Gefühl es sind viele Dinge aufgegriffen worden, die dann nicht mehr so richtig auserzählt werden konnten. Ich hätte es gern gesehen, dass das ungewollte Outing emotional noch mehr im Fokus gestanden hätte und auch das Problem Homophobie im Fußball. Und dass man die Freundschaft zwischen den 3 Jungs (oder vielleicht eher die Abhängigkeit voneinander) besser erklärt. Sie haben alle Probleme zuhause oder kommen aus schwierigen Verhältnissen und der Wille es da raus zu schaffen hat sie zusammengeschweißt aber ich hätte da gern noch ein bisschen mehr Tiefe gehabt, mehr davon gesehen was sie über die jeweils anderen denken, was sie sich bedeuten.
