SUBLIME CINEMA #301 - ARRIVAL

Denis Villeneuve is one of the most interesting new gen filmmakers to come along for a while, along with the Safdie Brothers, Celine Sciamma, Chloe Zhao, and a select few others. There is not a windfall of new young talent with their own particular artistic signatures, but Villeneuve has specialized in epic, stark landscapes, and vast worlds of a dark unknown for over a decade. He now commands bigger budgets than his contemporaries could dream of. His earliest short ‘The Next Floor’, looked inspired by Roy Andersson, but then he pared down the elements to some kind of pure essential starkness which seems distinctly his. Mixed results ensued - Incendies, Sicario, Prisoners and Arrival approach masterpiece material, and show an artist in command of his talent. Blade Runner 2049 was haphazard, Polytechnique polarizing. But he’s an artist I will go out of my way to watch. 

Arrival is a great science fiction film, thought provoking, hauntingly beautiful. and Villeneuve’s last collaboration with sublime composer Johann Johansson before he passed away tragically, way too young.

My 2023 vision board🫶🏼✨

I’m always in awe when I see languages written with other alphabets like we’re really a bunch of creative little creatures aren’t we… can’t believe some people see those signs and get meaning from them ! can’t believe some people see These signs that I’m using rn and don’t get meaning from them ! so many signs on earth and they’re SO different sometimes, our imagination is limitless

Professor Bathsheda Babbling

Professor Bathsheda Babbling was a witch and professor of Study of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Professor Babbling is the only language teacher in Hogwarts.

Anciet Runes is more than only a language in the Wizardry World given its magical properties, but still…

“I mistranslated ehwaz… It means partnership, not defence; I mixed it up with eihwaz.”

—Hermione Granger after her Ancient Runes O.W.L.

The Study of Ancient Runes (commonly shortened to Ancient Runes) is an elective course at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and presumably Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, that can be taken by students third year and above.

It was taught by Professor Bathsheda Babbling during the 1990s at least and it is the study of runic scriptures, or Runology. Ancient Runes is a mostly theoretical subject that studies the ancient runic scripts of magic.

my notion main page is so pretty ✦

i most likely will add some additional columns & stuff in the future, but it serves its purpose for now. subpages are more important in my case than the homepage, i think.
