schiarire and I saw this musical in San Francisco. It's not a flashy song-and-dance spectacular, and it's no Les Mis, but it's fun and funny and very clever.

Apple Trailers is, as ever, a fantastic place to waste a few hours. Hugh Jackman continues his excellent script-choice streak with The Prestige (with bonus Christian Bale and Scarlet Johansson!), though it's interesting to see it coming out at the same time as The Illusionist (Ed Norton, Rufus Sewell & Jessica Biel. YES PLZ.). Renaissance looks very much like a cashing-in-on-Sin-City project, but that's not going to stop me from rushing to see it. I do not plan to see Say Uncle, but the trailer makes me giggle because it's EMMETT and CUDDY in a MOVIE TOGETHER. The Science of Sleep looks amazing, kind of Kaufmanesque, and I am very much in favour of Gael Garcia Bernal's recent projects: Babel looks good too.

Silver City-ers: I'm going to work my ass off and try to get the theory post up this weekend, so we can start throwing ideas around and bashing out a narrative.

Like the sapphire Schethiyâ, the Lapis Exilis, crown jewel of the Archangel Lucifer, fell from heaven. Michael, archangel of the sun and the Hidden God of Israel, at the head of the angelic hosts swooped down upon Lucifer and his legions of rebellious spirits. During the conflict, Michael with his flaming sword struck the flashing Lapis Exilis from the coronet of his adversary, and the green stone fell through all the celestial rings into the dark and immeasurable Abyss. Out of Lucifer's radiant gem was fashioned the Sangreal, or Holy Grail, from which Christ is said to have drunk at the Last Supper.

Diana greatly loved her brother Lucifer, the god of the Sun and of the Moon, the god of Light (Splendor), who was so proud of his beauty, and who for his pride was driven from Paradise.

[Diana's cat-drawn chariot = Empress - L's trial (Gabriel)]

Diana prevailed with the cat to change forms with her; so she lay with her brother, and in the darkness assumed her own form, and so by Lucifer became the mother of Aradia. But when in the morning he found that he lay by his sister, and that light had been conquered by darkness, Lucifer was extremely angry; but Diana with her wiles of witchcraft so charmed him that he yielded to her love. This was the first fascination; she hummed the song, it was as the buzzing of bees (or a top spinning round), a spinning-wheel spinning life. She spun the lives of all men; all things were spun from the wheel of Diana. Lucifer turned the wheel.
