      I've never seen it - should I?

      Yes, and I assume you‘d probably enjoy any Wenders film.

        @sabergirl I can only guess what this is about. I will get the quote wrong but the concept remains, and it is one of the things that I think about with utter despair very regularly.

        I guess this was in the 90's, Italian farmers were taking bribes/hush money/what ever you want to call it, to allow the mafia to dump/bury extremely toxic shit on their land. The bad shit, of course, got into the water table and poisoned the water, not only for the farmers, but everyone else you used it.

        The quote was something like this. "They do not care if they cant drink their own water, as long as they can afford to buy bottled water".....

        As a race we are complete and utter fucktards......

          OK so I Googled it, and got it wrong ,sorry.

          But if you want a very hard to read (for me at least), discussion on what land ownership has done to us as a race, then I urge you to read, Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World, by Simon Winchester.

          I had to read it in bits, because it made me so sad and cross, I needed light relief from time to time.

            I’ve always mused about how different life would be if the settlers in America had adopted the native peoples’ we encountered relationship to the land.

            Thanks for the book recommendation, @Giles .

                @endo good call - I loved perfect days and now I think i should probably check out the others

                Edit: i have seen wings of desire but it was a long time ago and I may or may have not been herbally altered at the time....

                      @GraemeE , I'm not going lie, I haven't paid much attention to anything he's done in the past 20 years. But, I did enjoy The Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic. So, I'm optimistic...

                          Anyone see the Phoenician Scheme yet? I haven't finished thinking about it but it's brilliant, and somehow the restraint of the performances makes them more sexy...

                                      We had a hot and humid one today so the Mrs and I decided to hide away in the theater and watch two matinees. We did Superman and F1. Supes was solid but might have gone in with too high of expectations. F1 was a blast. The script is familiar but still works and visually wows.
