Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

Wise guys and Convertibles

As I've now lost access to my own movie review blog of old 'Celluloid Seduction', I've posted my spoiler-light film review here. Comments welcome!

There’s a clue in the title, Once Upon a Time... is a fairy tale, a modern Grimm, where truth and fiction mingle. The trouble with Tarantino’s latest fable is that there isn’t much of a moral to the story and his monsters, witches, and princes, are actors with ‘use by’ dates. 

It’s April 1969 in sunny California. In the background of the opening scene, a car radio blurts out a news report with familiar names from the era. Sirhan Sirhan has been sentenced to death for the murder of Robert Kennedy. 

Our protagonist (Leonardo Di Caprio as fading actor Rick Dalton) and sidekick in sideburns (Brad Pitt as his stuntman double Cliff Booth) are has-been players in the fickle world of cinematic entertainment, about to get their just rewards as they calculate their headcount of fictitious ‘kills’. 

If you are a Tarantino fan there is no doubt you will enjoy this latest offering, and it’s clear to see QTs love of Hollywood shining bright. From the billboards and lights of a dozen old cinemas and theatres strewn through a 1960s Hollywood. He delights in taking the viewer on a wild ride courtesy of a fast convertible screeching around corners, passing famous mansions, through the Hollywood Hills, well before the seatbelt was compulsory.

Familiar faces pop up here and there, familiar themes of buddies on a mission, baddies with a plan, and some indulgence in revenge for the ‘what might have been’. There’s even a bit of lazy storytelling, where a few minutes of narration fills in for a missing half-hour of plot, segmented between some genius scenes of Hollywood irony.

Regarding that plot and characterization, well as the story goes, this is old Hollywood meets new age and the so-called swinging-60s. If you remember them, you were never there. It’s clear Tarantino remembers his childhood and love of teatime TV Westerns, and hippie music, and movies about Nazis, and Asians, and very, very high-cut denim shorts and… feet. I’ll leave you to ponder that one.

Without giving too much away, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is billed a ‘comedy’, which on the most part it is. Simmering along the edges of the film, reflected in mirrors and windows, not quite taking us there, the news headlines we all know (Manson Cult/Sharon Tate murder). The sinister creeps in, together with the absurd, as the mind of the viewer is toyed with, made fun of, and generally left traumatised by the experience...
Pure Tarantino.

Lost Nora and Dora in the Golden City of Predictive Programming

Dora and the Lost City of Gold (released 16 Aug. 2019 worldwide)

Warning: this latest post may offend - approach with caution!

You may be familiar with recent sad news of an Irish teenager (Nora Quoirin) who was reported missing in Malaysia while on holiday with her family. On the morning of her first day at the Seremban Dunsun resort, on Aug. 4th, in a remote area of the Malaysian Titiwangsa Mountain range, she mysteriously disappeared. Police believed she may have exited her 1st floor cabin bedroom through an unlocked window, and vanished into the jungle. This despite her reported physical and mental limitations was the official line. Her parents stated to the contrary, that they believed she had been abducted. A widening search ensued to locate her, with rescuers, law enforcement and locals searching 24/7 to no avail.

These events have been documented extensively, and updated constantly by the British media, and on the 13th Aug. the predicted and tragic outcome to this was announced. Nora was found deceased near a waterfall in a dense jungle ravine, only a mile away from the resort. A location which had been previously searched to the astonishment of all.

The British tabloid press has been busy with headline after headline about this heart breaking story. I have wondered if perhaps there was a diabolic element and synchronicity at play with this traumatic event thrust into the public's psyche.

Predictive Programming is theory that the government or other higher-ups are using fictional movies or books as a mass mind control tool to make the population more accepting of planned future events. This was first described and proposed by researcher Alan Watt who defines Predictive programming as “Predictive programming is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as natural progressions, thus lessening possible public resistance and commotion.” (Wood)

Synchronistic Whaley of a Time!

Danger at Whaley Bridge Dam 

The news is yet again full of Synchronistic headlines that get you scratching your head at the astronomical calculations that are needed to predict them! Here are a few that seemingly appear worlds apart yet connected.

Whaley Bridge Danger as reported by The Guardian.online…

Last Thursday, as water rushed over the dam wall holding back the Toddbrook reservoir, a lone Canal & River Trust employee fought against the deluge, desperately trying to lower the water level.

Rainbow Bridge

Heavy rain had led to an excess of water cascading over the spillway above the town of Whaley Bridge in the Peak District. This would not normally be an issue, but as the torrent continued the spillway started to erode and concrete ballasts began to rip away.

As it became apparent that 1.2m tonnes of water could engulf schools, homes and businesses in the town below, the manager of the local bowling club, who has a direct view of the dam from his home, raised the alarm and police officers and firefighters raced to the reservoir.

Engineers were soon on the scene and Toddbrook sailing club quickly became a temporary command centre. Drone footage was examined and just a few hours after the leaks were spotted, thousands of residents were evacuated from their homes.

Mayor Whaley of Dayton, Ohio, gives us the updates on the latest shooting massacre – her name appeared on the top of the screen as live updates on the ticker scroll across the bottom telling us that Whaley Bridge is still in danger of collapse and it could be a matter of hours away from a catastrophic loss’.

The Telegraph.online tells us…

Dayton, Ohio was seconds away from a “catastrophic loss of life”, the city’s police chief said. Nine people were killed and 27 injured by Connor Betts, 24, who opened fire on revellers as they were leaving bars in the Oregon district of the city.

Graphic video footage released by police showed people running for safety as Betts unleashed a volley of bullets.

Back on Earth, four scientists at Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire were keeping a close ear on events unfolding on the lunar surface - and with good reason.

The Apollo 11 crew were not alone. Sir Bernard Lovell and his team were officially tracking an unmanned Russian space probe in orbit around the Moon at the same time.

According to the BBC Jodrell Bank gains Unesco World Heritage status!

It has been at the forefront of astronomical research since its inception in 1945, the site in Cheshire is part of the University of Manchester. It is dominated by the landmark Lovell Telescope.

It joins the ancient Iraqi city of Babylon and other locations that have been added to the prestigious list.

The UN World Heritage Committee is meeting in Azerbaijan until 10 July to decide on the latest sites to be given the honour - awarded to areas considered to be important for the whole of humanity, which will be protected by international treaties. 

Scientific research began at Jodrell Bank Observatory in 1945 when the physicist Sir Bernard Lovell came to the University of Manchester.

The site pioneered the then new science of radio astronomy, which used radio waves instead of visible light to understand the universe.

The Upside Down World

It’s official, the World has completely turned. What does Ariana Grande mean when she depicts herself in reverse? Recently stumbled upon this ridiculous piece of fashion attire and thought WTF, it’s obviously an Indian street factory error, No? A Chinese sowing camp malfunction? No… surely it wasn’t created like this on purpose?


Then again, the World has slowly turned into some sort of crazy Mandela effected, twisted, nightmarish, brainwashed and screwed planet, where the weirder and wackier things get, the more you are supposed to accept that this is the norm. Any deviance from this ‘new norm’ is seen as actually weird… So good is bad, black is white, and men are women etc… With this in mind… with this ‘rationale’, we can clearly discern that there IS an agenda written by the ‘powers that be’, for the minds and bodies of the populace… Welcome to the upside down world, aka the end of civilization.   


The Gay Agenda and Population Control

There IS a Gay Agenda – If transgender children under the age of 16 are given untested, non-clinical trialled drugs, to stop their puberty in order to make it easier to gender-reassign – Yet we’re told that the drugs are causing mental health issues and a spike in suicide attempts – and that more females than males are signing up for ‘reassignment treatments at the Tavistock Centre’ but data is supressed.. a big red flagged question mark just raised. I mean gender fluid and gender neutral and gender whatever… this is mainly a western idea/ideal/ordeal… and it’s a tiny minority too… yet you MUST NOT ask questions or criticize this in any way lest you be a ‘phobe’ of some kind. Freedom of speech and thought and expression… dying by the minute. Do not deviate from the agenda.


If – as a recent racist twitter post proudly went viral with a Muslim lady from London in full niqab shouting to a Gay (LGBT) Pride parade attendee on her street said succinctly,  ‘Shame on you – God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve’, well there is so much to discuss in just that one sentence, but the point is that had God created an Adam and Steve since the beginning, well statistically we wouldn’t exist now. Can someone with a math/science degree explain this equation, I don’t think it’d too difficult?


Moon Landing Hoax v Flat Earthers

Don’t you just love the Moon Hoax and the hoax deniers, especially when they fight with the believers, then say ‘watch my video about why the earth is really flat’. Yeah, people will really believe everything or anything, and there is some really weird shit going on right there – So, is this some kind of quadruple bluff being called – we went to the moon verses we didn’t because of a,b,c,d, then we did go because of a,b,c,d, but then how could we if a.d.b.c.d, don’t exist… Never mind that, the earth is flat…  So, someone explain Australia, and paper straws, and parallel universes, and the reason for the Large Hadron Collider (LHD), because I still can’t fathom how all of this is helping me with my everyday existence.


Climate v Industrial Capitalist System

I’ve been saying for years that there’s a correlation between the Sun cycles and magnetic rays hitting the earth and causing earthquakes and the like – Suddenly the scientists agree with me, after years of denial and poo-pooing of this obvious and very much in-plain-sight fact! This is probably what Chemtrails are all about anyway. I really have no idea, but I have plenty of photos.


Is there something they’re not telling us about the entire planet and the weather system disruption taking place? Do the factories closing to make way for Tesla and his electric universe have it so good? Is it global warming/warning of impending disaster – Is it man made or something extra-terrestrial? You can bet your bottom dollar it is NOT because you left the fucking fridge door open for five minutes in 1989! Carry-on recycling all that supermarket packaging, you’re going to build a great plastic boat big enough to sail the Oceans… oh, umm… hold that thought.


Elites v The Masses

When I see the homeless man (now rebranded as ‘rough sleeper’) being pushed out of a doorway by the Police because he’s bringing the town down, you know that gentrification is a true foe… When the high street is 80% derelict, and there are plenty of empty doorways, and empty properties for that matter, don’t forget to walk those minutes back to the office using your iPhone ‘get-fit’ app and bit, picking up litter as you go for the local school project, and feel like you have helped yourself and your community, because you can still buy your super-skinny caramel macchiato for six pounds sterling… Who is all this really serving?



The Upside Down World continues shortly…

Gimp on the run... a Copy Cat Effect?

Gimp-man terrorizing Somerset village finally caught on camera...

The Star, 18/07/2019... "Ex Scotland Yard detective Peter Bleksley spoke out after a masked prowler struck in a Somerset village.

The former star of Channel 4’s The Hunted said: “In the case of the killer clowns, that became a craze out of nowhere.

“And, potentially, unfortunately, now that a picture has been publicised and gone out on social media, it could inspire other idiots to do the same.

“This is a character born of TV shows like American Horror Story that are about murder and horribleness.

“If this idiot or idiots are inspired by this kind of show that is designed to horrify, they clearly have an intent to terrorise and harass people.”

A suspect has been arrested but police fear there may be others. So far there have been 14 official reports."

The above report is the latest in a line of stories that have seen the elusive 'Gimp-man' go viral around the globe, and continue to intrigue many. Somerset usually gets this kind of attention only around Glastonbury Festival time. Like the stories of Big Foot, Gimp-man sightings have been ignored, joked about, and dismissed for years until now, as finally someone managed to capture a late-night shot with the wonders of iPhone. 

It's freaky to think that this strange incident occurred just a few miles away from me, and that someone I work with was interviewed by Police a few months ago after a similar incident in the village. 

Former children's entertainer and clown turned fancy dress shop owner in Yeovil laments the killer clown outbreak in Somerset (2017)

"Criminologist Professor David Wilson said: “It is about striking terror into people by wearing a mask and dressing all in black – terrifying women for sexual gratification. Behaviour will only escalate.”

Frightened locals in Claverham say they have been terrorised by freaks in bondage suits since 2017.

The latest attack came when a man charged at a woman “grunting and touching his groin”. Avon and Somerset Police said a man in his 20s was in custody and inquiries were ongoing."

My colleague tells me that 'Gimp-man' has been seen many times in the area, and been chased off by locals. He's been seen rolling around in the grass of her neighbour's back garden, he's been spotted multiple times standing at people's windows, peering in, motionless, he's been walking around people's driveways and along the narrow lanes of the village at night. 

When Gimp-man hears a noise, or anyone tries to approach him, he runs off into fields and disappears through the bushes towards the nearby town of Yatton. Recently the Police helicopter searched the area to no avail, as my colleague points out, he's dressed completely in black all the time and quite non-reflective.

American Horror Story Gimp-man (2011) 

Unlike what the latest media reports would have you believe, Gimp-man has never 'grunted' at people, or lunged at them, he's been very elusive and shuns actual contact or communication with the villagers. There are a lot of people out there now claiming they've approached him and fought with him! Again, in the mode similar of Big Foot sightings, it was believed to be a joke and that he didn't really exist at all. So a photograph plastered all over social media around the world is the last thing anyone expected.

It turns out that the strange behaviour of this obviously local man, has been going on for years, and concurrently, there have been 'Killer Clown' sightings in the same area, leading to one arrest. After the latest arrest of two unconnected people from the area, both now out on bail, Somerset residents, myself being one, are questioning whether we will now start to see a lot more of 'Gimp-man'. He's on the run now but we're waiting for his unmasking quite soon.

Goldsmiths Daughter

9 July 2019

Sad but interesting news from the Telegraph Online...

Ben Goldsmith's 15-year-old daughter has been killed in a quad bike accident at the family's farm in Somerset.

Ambulance crews were called to the home in the village of North Brewham after the millionaire financier's eldest daughter Iris Annabel was involved in a crash. 

The teenager was the heiress of two of Britain's most powerful dynasties - the Goldsmith and Rothschild families. She was the first child of Mr Goldsmith and his ex-wife Kate Emma Rothschild, who are believed to have a joint fortune of more than £300million.

Even the mega  rich are not immune to the agenda... Kate and former lover and Rap star Jay Electronica

On Tuesday night a family friend told the Daily Mail: "This is the most awful accident. Iris was a complete firecracker – an absolute delight. Everyone in the family loved her to bits. She was beautiful, charming, intelligent, wonderful company and absolutely the loveliest person you could meet.

Emergency services confirmed they had attended the scene. A spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service said: "We were called on Monday at 3.15pm to attend an incident involving a vehicle at an address in North Brewham, Somerset.

"We sent the following resources to attend the incident: an air ambulance crew, a critical care team, a land ambulance crew, and two other paramedics."

Iris was the niece of Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston. Mr Goldsmith and Ms Rothschild have two sons; Frank, 13 and 11-year-old Isaac. They separated in 2012 when Ms Rothschild began a relationship with US rapper Jay Electronica.

Mr Goldsmith married catering company boss Jemima Jones two years later with whom he has two young children, Eliza and Arlo. He is the youngest child of the late billionaire tycoon and politician Sir James Goldsmith and Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest. 

Goldsmith's tragic daughter Iris was the first child of environmentalist Ben.

First to break the tragic news... from the Daily Mail Online.   Locals in the quiet village told of their shock as the high-profile family comes to terms with the teenager's death, who is the daughter of heiress Kate Rothschild.

Kate, 37, was staying at the country estate when the accident happened and her ex-husband Ben, 38, was playing in a cricket match in Surrey at the time. 

Ben was at the cricket match when he received the call about the accident.

He had entered his own team at a private match held at Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey, and rushed back to Somerset to see Iris in hospital. 

He told fellow players that she had been involved in a collision, but at that stage her injuries were not believed to have been life-threatening.

The game was abandoned when Ben sped away from the match with his two elder sons /Frankie, 13, and 11-year-old Isaac.

Kalim Khan, who was playing, told MailOnline: 'We were in the field and Ben's team was batting when he got a call to say that something was wrong.

'Two guys came onto the wicket to say that something serious had happened and Ben had to leave.

'His two sons were with him and half the team were his family and friends so we took the decision to abandon the game.

'We were told at the time the accident wasn't serious and that it wasn't a life-threatening situation. We were told that his daughter was ok, but that she needed to go to hospital.'

Mr Khan went on: 'Ben was on the phone constantly. Even when he got into the car he was on the phone to someone.

'We were told she would be fine, but that he had to go. He looked worried, obviously. He seemed concerned as any parent would be, but he wasn't panicking at that stage.

'It absolutely devastating what has happened to Ben and we are all thinking about him and his family.'

The vehicle Iris was riding with a friend is described as a 'ranger vehicle' - an all-terrain buggy with a roll-cage that resembles a cross between a quadbike and a small Jeep. 

A spokesman for Avon & Somerset Police confirmed: 'We were called at about 3.15pm on Monday July 8 to a farm in the North Brewham area following the sudden death of a teenage girl.

Iris was the first child of environmentalist Ben and his former wife Kate.

Royal Line of Duty

Unusually no signature to this royal announcement

The announcement of the birth of a new 'Earl of Dunbarton' for May 6th 2019, came at 2.00pm UK time, with a Palace Statement, followed by a Twitter post approx. one hour later. It stated that the half blue-blood baby was born at 5.26am - This caused some confusion within the media outlets, many not understanding that the birth had taken place hours prior to the announcement from the Palace about the Duchess of Sussex going 'into labour'... the majority of royal correspondents on Sky News and BBC sent into a frenzy asking why it wasn't announced earlier?!

Up to 2.00pm today the story hitting headlines here in the UK was... Who is 'H'? This is the question that loyal fans of the record-breaking BBC1 police drama 'Line of Duty' have been asking for weeks. Is the character of Ted Hasting going to turn out to be the corrupt cop come boss-of-bosses with a Godfather-like presence? Is he hiding his identity and about to be exposed in the finale? I won't dwell on the answers revealed yesterday. What I will mention is the fabulous Irish actor who plays the character with such believability; Adrian Dunbar.

Adrian Dunbar in 'The Hollow Crown'... I think you know where I'm going with this don't you?

Adrian has starred in some of the most iconic, revered and rewarded British movies of all time, including 'My Left Foot' and 'The Crying Game', and lesser remembered TV stints, for example, with headline grabbing Eco-warrior Brit actress and lovey Emma Thompson in 'The Blue Boy'. Apparently his turn in Star Wars Episode 1 ended up on the cutting room floor.

However, Adrian is now the hottest property on TV in the UK. He recently joked to a less than modest Piers Morgan while being interviewed by him for breakfast television that, 'I'm the biggest TV star... this week!' 

So the name 'Dunbar' has literally been on everyone's lips for a while now.

A portrait of the 1st Earl of Dunbarton

With the latest Royal Baby news, we have a synchronistic connection to the collective psyche of the British Public at a time of disillusionment in the form of a name. The news is distracting the masses from their troubling thoughts of Brexit for example - or so say the 'experts'. What better way then than to announce the arrival of the next Earl of Dunbar... Dunbarton... 

Prince Harry 2nd Earl of Dunbar ton, beaming outside some Windsor Castle stable and barn, no manger in sight however!

Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person


Dunbar family name in ancient Scotland, they lived in the barony of Dunbar on the North Sea coast near Edinburgh. The place name comes from the Gaelic words dùn, meaning "a fort," and barr, meaning "top," or "summit."

Dumbarton comes from the Scottish Gaelic Dùn Breatainn meaning "fort of the Britons". ... By the 18th century the names "County of Dunbarton" and "County of Dumbarton" were used interchangeably.
