"Thomas: How can you be a nymphomaniac and never had sex? Isabelle: I'm choosy."


This dialogue is from "Amateur", a film written and directed by Hal Hartley, released in 1994. This film is known for its unique blend of dark comedy and drama, and it features a cast of complex and intriguing characters.

In the specific exchange, the character Thomas is perplexed by Isabelle's claim of being a nymphomaniac despite never having had sex. Isabelle's response, "I'm choosy," is a witty and ironic line that encapsulates the quirky and offbeat tone often found in Hartley's films.

"Amateur" is often praised for its original screenplay and distinctive narrative style, which includes such memorable and thought-provoking dialogues. The film delves into themes of identity, morality, and the complexities of human nature, all typical elements in Hartley's work, making it a fascinating study for fans of independent cinema.

The Ministry of Doubt

Por
Imagem
In a world drowning in contradictions, doubt has become the only constant. Verena Solis, a journalist searching for truth, stumbles into a system designed not to silence, but to smother. Here, certainty is never banned — it is buried beneath noise, questions, and endless revisions of the past. As protests collapse into paradox, as science is reframed into spectacle, she must decide whether truth can still survive when every fact is met with a thousand doubts. Atmospheric, unsettling, and urgently relevant,  The Ministry of Doubt  asks: what if ignorance wasn’t an accident, but the most powerful weapon of all?

-     What’s your secret? -         I am just gonna keep running… Cliff Young I will write this post in English. Actually, I will mostly just re-print information from several sources, but I will show all references, in order not to incur in plagiarism. This is the story of an ordinary man who performs extraordinary feats. His name was Cliff Young, and he was the least likely hero that any Nation could come up with. "Albert Ernest Clifford "Cliff" Young ,   OAM   (8 February 1922 [1]  – 2 November 2003 [2] ) was an Australian potato farmer [2]   and   athlete   from   Beech Forest, Victoria .   Born the eldest son and the third of seven children of Mary and Albert Ernest Young on 8 February 1922, Albert Ernest Clifford Young grew up on a   farm   in Beech Forest in southwestern Victoria.

Pequenos conselhos práticos - Solo Duro

Por
Imagem
Imagem do Blogue de Maria Tadeu Esta rúbrica é dirigida aos Trail Runners que se estão a iniciar na modalidade e que ainda não têm prática de uma vertente muito interessante das corridas em trilhos: o "solo duro". O que é o solo duro? "Solo duro" é a expressão que indica o pavilhão gimnodesportivo, ou outras instalações semelhantes, disponibilizado pela organização, para que os atletas possam ter um local onde pernoitar antes e depois de uma prova. É solo duro, porque não inclui camas. Na melhor das hipóteses conseguem-se umas esteiras usadas na prática da ginástica e que se encontram disponíveis no pavilhão. Quanto a mim, trata-se de uma excelente opção para pernoitar, por várias razões. A saber: é gratuito; conveniente; normalmente encontra-se perto da linha de partida; e propicia o convívio. Claro que tem inconvenientes, sobretudo para os mais sensíveis. São locais agitados e barulhentos: há malta (como eu, por exemplo) que, ao ressonar, debit...

Agnotology: How Ignorance Gets Manufactured

Por

  Agnotology: How Ignorance Gets Manufactured 📖 What Is Agnotology? We often think of ignorance as simply not knowing . But there’s a deeper, more troubling form of ignorance: the kind that’s deliberately created . That’s what agnotology studies. Coined by historian of science Robert N. Proctor , the term comes from Greek agnosis (“not knowing”) and -logy (“the study of”). Agnotology explores how misinformation, suppression of knowledge, and distraction are used to keep people uncertain. In other words: ignorance happens — but sometimes it’s made to happen.

37ª Meia Maratona Internacional da Nazaré

No domingo passado, dia 13 de Novembro, juntei-me a esta grande festa do atletismo popular que é a Meia Maratona Internacional da Nazaré, a qual já vai na 37ª edição, tendo tido início no distante ano de 1975.  É a mais antiga das Meias Maratonas que se realizam no nosso país e sem dúvida uma das mais pitorescas, pelo local onde se realiza, pelo percurso, pelo apoio do público e pelo grupo de participantes fiéis e empenhados (um bom conjunto de atletas de pelotão, como revelam os resultados). Acordei bem cedo, às 7 horas, pois tinha combinado com o Miguel Dias e o Nuno Almeida irmos juntos de carro para a Nazaré. Depois de uma viagem sem incidentes, chegámos ao Hotel Quico, onde estavam hospedados o Nuno Marques, a Cristina Caldeira, o Jorge Duarte Pinheiro e filhos, e o Francisco Sanches Osório. O Nuno teve a gentileza e o trabalho de organizar toda a logística, incluindo distribuição de dorsais e fornecimento de banhos após a prova, que muito jeito nos deu....
