Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

I really hope they don’t fuck this up.
from Twentyfourbit: We’ve been waiting with bated breath for a trailer or still image from the upcoming John Lennon biopic, Nowhere Boy, but nothing has hit the Internet until today. We finally have the poster and a look at young actor Aaron Johnson’s depiction of a 15-year-old John Lennon. Check out a bunch more phots at Rotten Tomatoes here.
According to the film’s official synopsis: “Yearning for a normal family, John escapes into art and the new music flooding in from the U.S. His fledgling genius finds a kindred spirit in the young Paul McCartney.” We don’t have pictures of the film’s version of McCartney (played by Thomas Sangster) yet, but based on these new photos, they apparently didn’t cast lookalikes, which is probably a good thing.

The Moon 1860 by John Adams Whipple & James Wallace Black.
“Don’t you feel that reality is this enormous pinball wheel and everything is bouncing off and into everything else at one time?” he says. “Nothing is isolated.” Which must, surely, be difficult to render in fiction – don’t all those co-existing and contradictory worlds run away from him on the page? He nods. “But if it’s not hard, it wouldn’t be fun,” he says. “The adventure is the difficulty, in a way. I don’t feel that I’m fully in control of what I’m doing, and less and less as time goes on. I don’t know where the stories come from. I have no idea.” He’s emphatic as he says this, he has the air, almost, of someone protesting their innocence. “They just surge up from some hidden spot inside me, and if it feels interesting, I go.”

Science Museum Artifacts - Wooden anatomical models
A pair of models with removable chest and abdomen covers. Some religious restrictions on dissection were lifted in the 15th century, which led to the wider study of anatomy, using models like these as extra teaching aids.
