Throwback Thursday Part 35

On June 15th 1991, we witnessed the eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano (Philippines), the second-largest volcanic eruption on Earth in this century. Therefore, today's Throwback Thursday is to the year 1991. 

I also had songs about volcanoes in mind, but I was afraid that one pun-loving man on my t-list would have a field day.

Unwatchable - a short movie about rape as a warfare

I was on my "war movies" path to continue watching many of such on my list, but lately, and unexpectedly, I have seen probably one of the most horrific depictions of war.

The movie is called Unwatchable and it's about the conflict in Congo. And the very specific method of the warfare - which is rape.

This is a short video, around 22 minutes in total and consists of 3 parts: first one (the main movie is around 6 mins. long) introduces a white family in rural England destroyed by a group of soldiers, and the fragment asks: what if this would be happening here? Here being in the rich, sophisticated West. And then we have the narration of Masika Katsuva, a survivor of something unimaginable.

Warning: the movie is cruel and not for people of weak nerves.

Throwback Thursday Part 34

 

In 1989, albeit on the 6th of June (yesterday), there was a second that made the date: 01:23:45, 6/7/89. Therefore, today's Throwback Thursday presents songs titled as those numbers.
Enjoy^^

Throwback Thursday Part 33

Since today is Children's Day, today's Throwback Thursday is to the songs that have "child" in their title.

War movies (Part 1)

This list gathers all war movies that I have watched this year so far and that were made after 2010. This way, I cannot sing paeans to Black Hawk Down. The list is in random order.

War movies are probably my most favorite genre of movies, and sadly our modern world gives me plenty to watch - new movies about new conflicts. There are hundreds of those - some deal with WW2, some with earlier conflicts, and some with 21st century ones.

Maybe you'll find something to watch as well.

Throwback Thursday Part 32

 

On May 25th, in 2008, SHINee debuted. Therefore, today's Throwback Thursday takes us back to some of their songs that spell the name.

This day also went down in history as First Steps of Gods Day.

Taiwan Releases (April - May)

 

Another bunch of new releases from Taiwan.
No Roy Qiu in any of them.

Bookshelf Part 5

Another bundle of books I've recently finished.

Throwback Thursday Part 31

Today's Throwback Thursday is to anger. Timeless. Limitless. Overwhelming. Burning like the frozen water. Not for those who don't like noise. Because there's mostly noise.

Throwback Thursday Part 30

 

Today's Throwback Thursday is to the year 1965.
