I was not previously aware of this poster.

It’s by the great Drew Struzan but is also a bit odd in tone.

I remember ‘The Name Of The Rose’ being an OK movie. Apart from Sean Connery, Christian Slater and Ron Perlman turn up.

So, #HouseofLeaves is basically #TheNameofTheRose AU #fanfiction, right?

My write-up for #ICFPContest2025:

A #fun three days of problem-solving and #programming, but no success – SNAFU.

Reading C. J. Sansom's "Dissolution":

"Reputedly a copy of Aristotle's lost work /On Comedy/.", he said. "A fake, of course. Thirteenth century Italian, but beautiful nonetheless."

So true. Maybe explains how religious fanaticism can become violent."The step between ecstatic vision and sinful frenzy is all too brief." #TheNameOfTheRose #SeanConnery #ChristianSlater

Hey. So.
2 brief questions:

Anyone else have/having trouble with the first few pages of #TheNameOfTheRose? #UmbertoEco (Specifically with how the narrator is an utter self-entitled up-his-own-arse wankstain?)

Is the narrator of the book this wankery throughout?

There are a few books that I haven't read more than once, but I think I should. One of them is The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.

Read my ★★★★★ review of 1986's #TheNameOfTheRose, one of my favorite films of all time, based on the classic novel by #UmbertoEco that playfully examines the subjects of linguistics, history and knowledge through the filter of a murder mystery set at a Medieval monastery.

Saturday night playing around on #Google's free online #AI #image #generator, while I watch #TheNameOfTheRose on my second monitor. I'm once again illustrating locations from the 200-year history I'm writing these days of an entirely fake US city named Progress, and tonight am tackling the main stadium from the 1982 Olympics the city supposedly hosted. This is only okay; I'm sure I could get better with a few days of refining and iterations. See alt-text for specific prompt.
