Saw The Last Duel the other day. A fantastic historical period piece and another classic to add to Ridley Scott's splendid filmography.

It's well-made and tells a gripping story, but it's a real shame that it's going to likely be a massive box office bomb.

It's often assumed that living to over 100 is a recent phenomenon, but such people have existed for centuries.

Dutch soldier Johann Georg Sauer (1713-1818) lived to 105, French soldier Jean Thurel (1698-1807) was 108, and British soldier William Hiseland (1620-1732) was 111.

The last great auk birds were killed on June 3, 1844.

Fishermen tracked the surviving ones to Iceland’s Eldey Island, strangling the adults and crushing the eggs.

It’s a sad reminder that humans can drive entire species to extinction without any thought.

Rewatched “Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters,” one of the greatest biopics of all time and arguably Hollywood’s best portrayal of Japanese culture.

It’s a fitting tribute to the life and literary work of Yukio Mishima, but unfortunately still remains unreleased in Japan.

Completed one final essay for the semester, but I still have two more and a project left to go for the rest of the month. The end of the term can’t come sooner enough.

Hilarious deaths in ugly Middle Age-era art is my new aesthetic.
