The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦁🎬 Six months of filming big #cats across #Botswana's #Okavango Delta taught #wildlife cinematographers about the evolutionary advantages hidden in #lions', #cheetahs', and #leopards' most distinctive features.

For example, those dramatic #cheetah tear marks work like athletic eye black to reduce glare during daytime hunts. And #leopard rosettes are disruptive camouflage that breaks up body outlines more effectively than simple spots. Paw-some stuff! 😼

My ★★★★★ review of Blackfish (2013) on letterboxd: boxd.it/b9djs9

boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Blackfish (2013)Brilliant documentary, a must-watch for everyone. With a lot of astonishing, suspenseful footage, making this actually a thriller with insights. Blackfish will change the way you look at performance killer whales. And hopefully also how you look at all other animals in circuses, marine parks and in captivity in general. 'We frown on circus animals and we would be horrified by zoos which featured the keepers riding around on lions' backs or sitting on the shoulders of gorillas. Yet the whale acts are still acceptable. Not for much longer, perhaps.' (The Guardian) Peter Bradshaw: "As horribly gripping as a serial-killer

That Old Guy With the Beard

This show of 14 episodes started its life as a podcast, and then thankfully was translated into a visual format as the host of both versions travels around the world to find the places where things originally were, then where they are now, and asks the question “was this stolen?” Nearly every time, it’s a clear ‘yes.’

A couple of times the subject is predictable — the ‘Elgin Marbles,’ the Stone of Destiny from Scotland — but other things are surprising and cut right through your heart: a doll for a young Tasmanian girl, or the ceremonial regalia of a Blackfoot tribal chief. About half the time, the object is repatriated, but equally often it isn’t.

The discussion of the nature of initial procurement and the worth of potential return is dealt with even handedly, allowing stakeholders to speak their minds without name-calling or moral judgements of the other person, limiting discussion to validity of argument presented.

Very recommended!

Episode 25 – The Julie Reilly Case, A Vulnerable Lady With A Big Heart

In this episode we’ll be wondering why a lady with problematic health issues has missed a few important medical appointments.  Why the police only really have one suspect, and why trying to solve a murder case without a body is really not that common in Scotland. Her family is down in Ayrshire w
