While in Germany, Eloise somehow found me an LP of one my literal favourite and most watched (and most obscure) films: Peter Watkin's Privilege (1967). Wild to me that I now own this!!

Always love when the title card is part of the film's environment. Last night's viewing of The Beautiful, the Bloody, and the Bare (1964) had a great one!

It is probably worth mentioning that I did not get around to seeing One Battle After Another, which sounds so aggressively my jam I am a little afraid of it. Maybe some time in '26.

Rita considered the dead. Shut her eyes. Rolled their names around her brain. Stacked each person in order like folded laundry, warm and crisp from the sun. She wondered how her name would sound amongst them.
