What will the future look like?
Something out of an Olaf Stapledon work perhaps?
Where genetic engineering, telepathy, and interplanetary genocide
co-exist with humans of an extremely high civilization.
Gotta say though...high fashion takes their inspiration from the right places.
Ratatouille Recipe

Rata: French Army slang meaning "chunky stew"
Touiller: "To stir"
RATATOUILLE
These ingredients are traditionally sauteed in olive oil and can be served over
rice or potatoes, preferably with a crusty French bread.
Its a typically vegan, low-fat dish. (The only fat comes from the olive oil,
which is a good kind of fat anyway) Its also low-sodium, due to the
presence of fresh vegetables. (Unless you use canned products)
And why am I even publishing recipes on a blog I've not made known to
my friends and family??? Absolutely stupid, I say, as I'm not even familiar
with my own kitchen. I can only make canned dinner, or take-aways.
I need a man who can cook for me.

After what you said about art films the other day,
I felt compelled to write this post.
Ahem. Art films DO NOT tell lies. They DO NOT promote falsehood
or attempt to convince us of the nature of surreality and fantasy
(It only happens for art's sake, but the rest,
we humans can figure out the truth quite easily.)
In fact, art cinema is a very reliable genre
in which eye-openers are known to be displayed,
where the vulnerability and susceptibility of humanism
is captured on screen, and translated beautifully into
the minds of the viewers.
Art cinema in Asia and Europe are usually very ambitious.
Directors tend to have something to say about a serious topic,
and they tell it like it is.
"Furthermore, the general perception is that a certain degree of
experience and intellect are required
to understand or appreciate such films - in contrary to regular
main stream movies, which are geared more towards escapism
Escapism. HAH! Falsehood my a$$.
P.S. note EXPERIENCE and INTELLECT required.
