Writer-director Alain Guiraudie must surely now be said to match Quentin Dupieux for the weirdest sense of humour in French cinema. But is comedy exactly what is happening here? Because this has to be one of the strangest films of the year – or the most deadpan of deadpan in-jokes. At one point, I thought I saw the performer playing a police officer almost laugh, but perhaps every single actor here was on the verge of cracking up throughout the shoot. It could be that every time Guiraudie yelled “Cut” everyone burst out laughing.

You could also call Misericordia queer cinema, with the word “queer” also working in its non-sexual sense. Guiraudie made his international breakthrough with his 2013 film Stranger By the Lake, but it’s now clear that the seriousness and vehemence of that psychosexual drama are atypical of the director’s real instincts, which are towards waywardness and playfulness and unreadable, inscrutable mischief. And here, as sometimes in the past, he looks as if he is making it up as he goes along.

...

Perhaps this film is just too self-consciously odd, but you feel that you are watching a dream which has been minutely transcribed and re-enacted; or perhaps all the performers are sleepwalking in the most vivid and lucid way. The film is also notable for showing semi-erect penises very candidly.

Not sure if this is relevant here.

My tolerance for people faking a US accent when they sing has declined over the years, so a while back I started making a Spotify playlist with tracks where the (usually native English-speaker) vocalist sings in English with their real accent instead of a fake US one. And I called it "No Yankcent".

Maybe people have some tracks they can suggest.

Ye legends.

A lot of the USA's exports are b2b; things like fossil fuels, nuclear reactors, aircraft form a large part of their exports.

Others are monopolies like medical equipment and (patented) pharma. Consumers can't boycott those.

But I don't mean to be pessimistic. The USA also exports a lot of cars, which can easily be boycotted.

Ford, General Motors, Tesla, Apple Inc. and Intel seem like key companies to target for a consumer boycott.

Basically I'm asking if there are good data on how much income the country gets from consumer sales overseas.

Use a Swedish operating system instead lads
