@thedailyjaws Ok, time for my annual rewatch of this magnificent film in tandem with the start of the timeline of events in the film.

@TCM9555 @JasonOxberry @thedailyjaws I don’t know what happened to my copy, but I used to own About Sharks and Shark Attacks. I wanted some of those movie images of the shark attack victims & shark’s teeth/jaws & to read about Great Whites which I grew briefly obsessed with as a child after watching the film.

Britain has lost around half its hedgerows since the Second World War. The wildlife that depended on them has followed a similar trajectory. 🌿

The old field boundary — a strip of blackthorn, hawthorn, dog rose, and elder two to five metres wide between cultivated ground — was not wasted agricultural space. It was a functioning ecological system that maintained pollinators, pest predators, and farmland birds across centuries of working land.

Each hedgerow is a nesting corridor for grey partridge and skylark, a foraging habitat for brown hares and hedgehogs, a site for solitary bee colonies, and a windbreak for the crops alongside it.

The field cultivated to its very edge gives the maximum return this season. It removes the populations of beneficial insects, farmland birds, and small mammals on which stable long-term production depended.

The field with a hedgerow yields a few percent less per cultivated hectare — but remains productive across decades without compensatory chemical inputs. The documented declines in grey partridge, lapwing, and skylark across the British agricultural landscape since the 1970s are directly linked to field consolidation and hedgerow removal.

Practical equivalents for the garden or smallholding:
- A strip of wildflower meadow at least one metre wide at the plot boundary
- A clump of nettles in a shaded corner as a habitat base for red admiral, small tortoiseshell, and peacock butterflies
- A native mixed hedge of blackthorn and hawthorn in place of post-and-wire fencing
- A section of uncut grass between rows of fruit trees

@NiallHarbison Her transformation is profound! She’s a grand dog.

[Slish (the other Dryden) @slish]

@NiallHarbison Very excited to see where’s this little sweetie lands.

@EthanOfKrypton Ha! That’s the fanfic ending. Niche audience.

@Ollie_Film @BilgeEbiri I had NO IDEA! Her talent runs deep.

@TheOscarRace Performances that rankled: C. Diaz was outclassed by the other actors. Her performance was clown pastiche. Pitt’s performance was made up of tics & weird mannerisms. Meant to convey coke addiction, who knows? Distracting. Ridley imbued no heart & little depth.

@AdvancedTweaker I’m in relatively balmy BC & so far & for foreseeable, I’m having a coffee & snack outside for lunch in the covered section of a coffee shop patio. I eat & massively hydrate in the morning & either tough it out or sit outside. No way am I breaking that seal until I’m outside.

@mryoung151 Wish my cardiologist was wearing a mask when I last saw her. How so smart & so not?

@Biff234523 Is this a similar timeline for MRNA vax which is all that’s available in Canada? Mum recovering from covid now so wondering how long until she can get vaxxed once no longer symptomatic.

[Slish (the other Dryden) @slish]

@ATR3lDES People hate on this?! Whaaaat? Um no. That’s the scene to just rewind & replay on repeat. It’s magnificent.
Some people just can’t appreciate nice things.

[Slish (the other Dryden) @slish]

@Jixylady @singingsox Yeah that sucks. Now waiting for rumored return to Canada in spring. The MRNA just floors me for several days.

[Slish (the other Dryden) @slish]

@Jixylady @singingsox Holy crap that’s nasty!
I didn’t have to deal with that much pushback. Well done you for holding your ground!

[Slish (the other Dryden) @slish]

@Jixylady @singingsox That was my experience first time too. As I had hunted down only pharma offering it close enough to take my elderly mobility limited dad I held my tongue. Found a much better pharma & pharmacist for the next three. So much tip toeing around the gaslighting just to survive.
