In no particular order (and yes some are more well known in film circles, maybe I should've ommited them, but you never know what the reader hasn't seen):

Jojo Rabbit, 2019 - a comedic coming of age in Nazi Germany. Jojo and his imaginary friend, Hitler, face a complicated and rapidly changing world.

The Mitchells versus the Machines, 2021 - animated family adventure for fun with the whole family.

Rise of Leslie Vernon, 2006 - mocumentary following slasher killer Leslie Vernon.

Bunny and the Bull, 2009 - an, in my opinion, gorgeously set film about two friends on a road trip in Spain.

Parallel Mothers (Madras Paralelas), 2021 - not a hidden gem if you know anything about Spanish cinema, but maybe you don't. Penolpe Cruz is a new mother whose life becomes intertwined with another women's when they give birth in the same hospital.

Hero (英雄), 2002 - again, if you know Wuxia film then this isn't a hidden gem. A pinnacle of the genre, a Chinese Rashomon with wire fights.

Blow Up, 1966 - British New Wave classic. A photographer used to a free and casual 60s life becomes certain he has accidentally photographed evidence of a murder.

Berberian Sound Studio, 2012 - exploration of sound and feeling. A mild mannered amateurish British sound technician gets a big job working on the sound effects for a giallo film in Italy.

Martyrs, 2008 - the pinnacle of French New Extreme movement. It made a big name for itself at the time for being the sort of torture porn film that really gave it a point beyond vouyerism. Not for the faint of heart.

Rye Lane, 2023 - a romcom love letter to London.

The Day Shall Come, 2019 - an eccentric black preacher gets caught up in a web of madness that runs deep.

Not enough (any) in client tracking of match results and what the match up was.

No way to really combo off. Let me demonstrate a loop and do it X times please.

Probably made by a promising young man.

Palm Springs - watched it without any info on what it was about or what would happen and enjoyed it hugely as a result.

A box of fancy herbal teas, produced by a company with links to a bizzare cult.

Flying New York to London via Russia-adjacent Artic?

Nice details, and good to see frogs doing well. I too saw Treeguard Duo putting in a lot of work, even outside of frogs.

Its probably the archetype I'm most excited to try along with lizards and bats.

Nice open, Kastral is a strong one. Congrats on the 3-0.

Me too. We have plenty of bones of people who lived into old age with signs of disability or having been crippled.

But the overall stats not only do I not know, but since we only have a relatively minor number of data points it's hard to really say any of us will ever know.

What we have does tend to point to being better than a medieval city iirc, and I think the general consensus amongst anthropologists is that the transition to agriculture saw a decrease in life expectancy.

That too.

Even the humble napped flint.

Pretty sure that "dead by 50 thing" includes all the infant mortality.

I bet he's also using the stats from peak mortality of European late middle ages with urbanisation but no good sewers.

Delightfully failing to be either but with a huge sense of superiority and disdain for the youth and migrants.
