  • I take your point, but “tricked” is a strong word - I chose an image that shows the amount of climb. Having driven over it, I promise , it feels crazy steep! :-)

    Yours really only shows the centre of the bridge, barely going beyond the supports. When you get a wider view, you can see just how much users have to climb at the start, to get to the top..






  • I think that does change things.

    I was previously inclined towards something like, “He’s your brother, and I would try and say to him that while you disagree with him as fully as it’s possible to, you will still be there because he’s your brother, and that still means something to you” or similar. Something that might get him to understand that this isn’t easy for you.

    However, if you were already at his actual wedding, and this is just a party in another country, nah - tbh, I think it’d be fair to give it a miss even if he wasn’t being a Nazi apologist.


  • Lost in the Movies - fewer than 10k subscribers, but he deserves so many more.

    His work is generally on movies and TV, usually with a more art house feel.

    His major piece of work though is his 30-40 part video series (and also podcast/blog) on Twin Peaks.

    None of your, “Here’s the explanation of EVERYTHING,” nonsense here though.

    Instead he looks at the show, its characters and its arcs with a contemplative eye, picking out interesting visual and narrative parallels, examining the show and film as a piece of art rather than as a puzzle to be ‘solved’.

    It’s exceptional and it mystifies me that it’s not more well known. He’s been doing it for about ten years now I think. If you’re a Peaks fan, it’s an absolute must IMO.
