Web Wandering - Silent Film Edition

A stream of browserness

To celebrate my (as far as I know) permanent return to Brussels, I considered subscribing to, or at least going to a screening at, La Cinematek, the Cinémathèque royale de Belgique, where classic films are preserved and screened every day.
I didn’t find any screening I fancied, and I’m still considering supporting the institution with a subscription (that only entitles to a reduced entry ticket), but out of curiosity I followed the link to its Official YouTube channel.

Where I start retiring films I’ve watched too many times

The poster for Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck's film *Frozen*
I’ve realised I’ve been writing these weekly recaps of my film consumption for a little longer than two years, and it was only a matter of time before I reached the third recorded viewing of a movie.

Animated animals, less animated Greeks and deanimated Americans

The poster for Isao Takahata's *Pom Poko*
This post comes a bit late because I managed to accidentally destroy the first completed version of it before publishing it. On the bright side, I think this remake is (mostly) better than the original.

The end of an e

I go back to the sacred timeline

It’s the end of an era, colleagues usually say when someone leaves a job after a few years.
‘It’s the end of an era’, a friend said just a few days ago, as my latest job ended.
Except it’s only been nine months since I accepted the post, and not even five months since I actually started.
Nine months between the day I signed up for a job in my favourite city and the day I said ‘au revoir’ to my new colleagues there, to go back to the one that is not my favourite, but that I must finally acknowledge has become my home, the place I feel relaxed in, and the place I will - if nothing major happens to disrupt my plans - live in for the rest of my working life.
So, a short era. An e, let’s say.
It’s a bittersweet feeling.
