Heavy Traffic (1973)
A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.

A cafe is growing, tucked in to the mountainside air raid shelter of the DMZ borderlands. A light light flickers, illuminating the past, present, and future. I'll see you at the DMZ! Shim was a free, one-day pop-up cafe staged in Yangji-ri village’s air raid shelter at the Korean DMZ.

Yangji-ri was one of many minbuk propaganda villages established by the Park Chung Hee regime in the 1960s to showcase the farming bounty and prosperity of the south for a North Korean gaze. The village was formerly part of the Civilian Control Line (CCL) until 2013 when it was reterritorialized as a normal part of South Korea.

Popcorn FlickMovies like thisWorld Sex Tour 25 (2002)
For the twenty fifth volume of this highly successful porn series we go north to Canada to find the hottest babes in the Great White North. Lots of chicks come down from Canada to do porn, so some of these girls have been seen before, but I guess we can’t expect them to go to Eastern Europe for every WST movie. (When do we get a volume from Japan or from Israel?) It looks like they even took four guys on this trip, giving us greater variety in the scenes. As usual, the six women look to be mostly good looking, possibly all 100% natural and of course, ready to fuck the American studs brought in to fuck them more than their nationalized health-care system does.
