    5. The safest survival strategy is to be blinded. No other part of your face injured, just your eyes. Then you can survive, come home and have a heartwarming moment when your best girl either accepts you or it's just Movie Blindness and you recover completely.

    We watched a movie from 2008 tonight called Blindness. Can I just ask, is this the same Asmik that did the Lennus games, Super Strike Eagle, Super Air Diver etc?

    Happy to announce that 'The Devil Is In The Detail' starring the excellent Kevin McNally which I wrote/directed (produced by Sharon Axcell) is screening at the Birmingham Horror Film Fest in October. Thanks to the team who helped made 'Devil' what it is and to Fred Abong for his song 'Blindness'.

    As a visually impaired amateur photographer it’s always really funny to me how shocked people are that film development happens in the dark. Do you guys not have eyelids? Do you not know how to use your hands!? Hahaha. I don’t develop myself anymore, but I guess I used to do it on easy mode, compared to sighted people. #photography #blindness #filmPhotography

    "There’s not a syllable in the Constitution that limits the tools to use in that fight. Color-Blindness as a legal limit is a judicial invention." Color-blindness focuses on the freeze-frame of today and not on the movie — centuries of enslavement, the Redemption, Jim Crow, and now Redemption 2.0.

    I don't know why I am thinking about BLINDNESS 📽️ today, which I haven't seen since I reviewed it for @criticsnotebook.com back in 2008. Maybe because it's about people struggling to cope in times of awful crisis? I doubt its sexism has improved www.criticsnotebook.com/2008/11/blin...

    I really hate this guy's obsession with aesthetics & superficial things. I sometimes think it would be great if the scenario in the movie "Blindness" came true. If you were accustomed to judging everything by what it looks like, what would you do if you suddenly lost your eyesight? 🤔

    I first ran into it because of this trailer: because Achtung Baby is one of my fave albums of all time and Love is Blindness was a fave track off that album…so I heard the bars and said, “wait..i know that:” youtu.be/rARN6agiW7o?...

    Incredible line from #SoderCinema video on #film #Memento: "Blindness to objective truth also means immunity to new pain and lasting discomfort," the #MAGA and #Trump -supporter implications of which are patently obvious. In many senses, it's WHY they do it 🤓 youtu.be/lJN84eejBb0?... #FilmSky

    It’s spinning [anxiety] v claustrophobic sinking [depression] - is how I experience them. Blindness, oddly, is white light. Not black as every TV/Movie presents it! R

    Have you caught the season 6 kickoff episode with @Matthew2468 - It's amazing, and I'm super proud of this guy's worldwide accomplishments. Bringing on so many talented and well versed smart brains to the show, and they all probably have more skill in their frontal lobe than I do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zfLVq0LvTg&t=1233s #Blindness #Podcasting #Accessibility #Musicianship #Skill #Advocacy

    True. The others are very good. But you are right Blindness is the best. And even wanted to hate the movie version but it was good too. Have you tried PD James The Children of Men. Short novel but wonderful. And another great adaptation to film.

    I read Blindness a while back. It was quite harrowing. Didn’t realise they’d made a film of it.

    Just watched Blink, a story about a couple who take their 4 children (4-12yrs) on a world trip to create visual memories for when 3 out of the 4 children eventually become blind with Retinitis Pigmentosa. It’s a beautiful film. 🙌🏻 to the parents. Such a brave move. #blindness #worldtravel ❤️🌎

    The whole thing came about because of the film Blindness, which Meirelles directed and filmed in Toronto, and it was written by the S&A writers - who had sent Meirelles a pitch package with the S&A DVDs included as quality sample. Meirelles binged it in a hotel in Toronto and became obsessed.

    Is it better or worse than the Blindness movie? I ask as probably the biggest fan of that director since City of God and The Constant Gardener are both great movies.

    Watched the 2002 HBO film Hysterical Blindness, in which Uma Thurman basically plays Dee from Always Sunny: always in a shitty bar, shitty attitude, Big Bird energy, delusional, skin-crawlingly awkward around men. She does everything but the dry heaves. 10/10. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiHS...
