Squid Game A couple of years ago, all that was known about the series “Squid Game” was that it would be an unusual drama coming from South Korea… and that Netflix had its fingers in it (the series, not Korea). Since Netflix in recent years has been sticking its fingers in everything alive and thus…

I inhaled once and held it for about ten seconds before slowly releasing it through my nose. I’m about 15 meters away. I started walking, one foot…
First Person Singular There are some writers you simply either love or don’t. I’d say Haruki Murakami is one of those writers. When you start reading him for the first time, I think page twenty-something is decisive, and then you declare his (any) novel strange and incomprehensible… or it enchants you and draws you into…
Kingsman (The Secret Service & The Golden Circle) “Manners maketh man” – Harry Hart (Kingsman: The Secret Service) There are people with the initials J.B. who will always attract female (passionate) sighs.
