Remington - the ethnologist from the Congo


Did anyone notice that he spoke in idioms virtually the whole time? Hilarious detail and so appropriate for a whimsical ethnologist!! Jenuet and his script writer are very clever. So many small details are woven into the script and characters.

Btw, the persons responsible for the puppetry are geniuses. I loved the dancing blouse and skirt at the end.

Away with the manners of withered virgins

Glad to hear you enjoyed it as much, if not more.

The distance is nothing. The first step is the hardest.

pt, maybe you won't tell me, but whenceforth cometh thy moniker? is it some clockwork orange reference? or Coleridge? I'm out of ideas now!

I like the way you think but neither of those suggestions are the origins of my name. It's a play on something May Sarton wrote of in Journal of a Solitude: Returning from a trip and arriving home alone, she feels dejected. Her eyes light upon a vase of flowers and in that moment the flowers act as a transfusion of life and positivity so needed by her in that moment. Poppies do that for me. Their vivid red that they share so freely is a transfusion of ... joy, release, abundance ... and so on.
