Good Morning

Chronopolis

One of my fave animated films with the music of Luc Ferarri

Piotr Kamler - Chronopolis

Duration: 52 min.

Chronopolis is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Polish animator Piotr Kamler with music composed by Luc Ferrari and narration by Michael Lonsdale. This was Piotr Kamler's first and only full-length film apart from nine other short animations he had accomplished during the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1990s. The film won Best Children's Film for 1982 and was nominated for the International Fantasy Film Award in 1983. The film was shown out of competition at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival.

It took animator/filmmaker Piotr Kamler nearly half a decade to make this fantastic animated 3-D sci-fi film that is set in a futuristic city inhabited by powerful immortals who are utterly bored with the idea of eternity and so begin playing with time. -- Sandra Brennan, (All Movie Guide)

Saturday Slouching

The weekend is here. Quietly relaxing and the hoovering can wait till tomorrow morning lol!! So on such relaxing afternoons, I shall now reserve to listen to some quality operas. If you said I would be into opera ay 17 I would have laughed. But now, and ever since The Wire in 1991 that introduced me to Mozart, it has been one of those genres I have quietly appreciated, and hence today right now it is Don Giovanni.




I found this 3 CD set for a quid in a charity shop some weeks ago, but only got around to listening to it today.

Last night I watched the latest episode of the new season of Star Trek Discovery and the latest DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Both are very enjoyable series in my opinion.

The weather is cool around 6C and rain is expected within the next hour. So it is nice being warm at home with good music and good books.

Oh, and before I forget, I have added my wish list to this year's paying it forward -

Have a peaceful day in these uncertain times.

One Reasn Why Cats Are Better

And As The Evening Rolls On ..

Well, another day that has gone through the range of overcasting to sunshine and then rain. I did not bother heading towards town. I walked down to the local stores to get some provisions and made an egg omelet for lunch. I had tomato soup as a starter with some fine crusty bread.

I finally started to use Skype having had it on the laptop all these years. Yeah, some things I am slow to use whilst others I am quite quick at picking up. It's a thing.

Anyway, whilst others use TikTok or WhatsApp I still prefer LJ.
