Il Decameron (1971)

Perhaps a controversial category to put it in, but I was bored out of my skull for most of it.

Growing up in the 70s, these kind of movies were very much a forbidden fruit. Here was a chance to see some risqué stuff (and naked ladies) while remaining respectable, because art. However, I was too young to get in at the time.

Turns out I didn't miss all that much. These stories could be very funny, if done with a slapstick Benny Hill/Carry On approach. However, Pasolini has the comedic timing of a potted plant so everything falls very flat. Apparently he worked with a largely non-professional cast and it really shows. Also, the whole thing sounds like it was dubbed in a studio by not very motivated actors (at least in the Italian version). There is a fair bit of full frontal male nudity and some very unsexy sex scenes.
It is set in the early Renaissance, which to Pasolini means bad teeth and silly hats.

Watch only out of historical interest

Improvised flatbread. So I was making bread, and after returning to the dough after letting it rest, I noticed that it hadn't changed in volume. That is when I saw the little bowl of yeast still on the countertop.

This left me with two loaves worth of unleavened dough, so as they say: when life gives you unleavened dough, make flatbread. So I rolled it out and fried it in a pan. Turns out to be surprisingly edible. Now this wasn't ordinary flour, but some fancy mix with teff and stuff, so that might have helped.

Uwe Boll would agree

It's strange how my weather app uses borderline orgasmic language to describe its excitement over rising temperatures. I understand they need to provide some flavor text with the forecast, but I really wish they'd stick to a neutral, professional tone.

On top of the hyperbole, they've started using the term "blood rain" constantly this year. It sounds more like a B-movie title than a forecast. I actually had to look it up, and according to the definition:

    "Blood rain occurs when high concentrations of red-colored dust or particles mix with rain, giving it a red appearance as it falls. It is not actually a meteorological or scientific term; rather, it's a colloquial phrase that dates back quite a while."

Since it isn't even a scientific term, it's no wonder I've never heard it in legitimate weather news before. I'm not sure why my app is so insistent on using it, I suppose they're just trying to stand out from the competition with "edgier" branding, but it mostly just feels unnecessary.
