Matt Vaughn’s back in the spy game with the Argylle Trailer 
I was just thinking about Matthew Vaughn this morning, with the passing of Layer Cake's Michael Gambon. Vaughn's teamed up with Apple Films on Argylle, which looks like another spy caper similar to James Mangold's Knight and Day, as well as own Kingsman series. Argylle...

Barbie (dir. by Greta Gerwig) 
I may be the wrong person to be writing about Barbie. As a guy, I can't really empathize with all of the elements of womanhood. I'll never experience childbirth, nor fully understand all of the issues women have to deal with (though watching the women...

Lucretia My Reflection (by The Sisters of Mercy) 

Lucretia My Reflection (off the Floodland album) is another Sisters of Mercy song that I enjoy. It was supposedly written by lead singer Andrew Eldritch for Patricia Morrison, the bassist of the group. The version below is a twelve minute mix that’s more instrumental than vocal. I’ve let this play as background music while writing.

Lyrics:

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill
I hear dive bombers and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then
We don’t doubt, we don’t take direction
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real

Such things I hear, they don’t make sense
I don’t see much evidence
I don’t feel
I don’t feel
But I don’t feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it’s done

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down

We got the empire, now as then
We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me
