It's still good. Watch it some day. It holds up. I love how they juxtaposed the two stories throughout the movie. If you read Heart of Darkness, you will appreciate this.
On the strength alone of Florence and the Machine, you have recommended some great stuff for me. I need to watch this, yes. And I've not read "Heart of Darkness."
Well, I don't expect you to read it. LOL But it shows the darkness of human nature and survival. Kind of like a Lord of the Flies set in Viet Nam and Heart of Darkness was in some jungle. I have not read that in 40 years. Forgive me. LOL No, 50 years, actually.

There is - oil based enamel that has lacquer thinner added to it. The lacquer thinner really enhances the pleasing smell but it does speed up drying time so you don't get as long to enjoy the pleasing smell of the paint drying. Guess that would be an example of - you can't have your cake and eat it too. Cheers!

Laquer is a whole different animal. Adding lawyer thinners which are solvent based to an oil enamel actually ruins the enamel. They dry quicker but enamel is meant to cure, not dry. Solvents for lacquer and spirits for enamel if you want a good and hard enamel finish.
Actually lacquer in general is pretty niche these days.
I know I was just goofing around. I used to do painting at an amusement park and we would use a lot of lacquers so the paint would dry quickly and the show could go on. Cheers!
Well I wasn't à carny ( I contracted painting work at an amusement park) but sometimes they would let me party with them - they can be lots of fun. Cheers!

I was a carny! When I was 18, I worked at an amusement park running kids' rides. It was all high school kids ... $1/hr and all the free food we could eat! :)
I am always attracted to the smell of a pile of dry autumn leaves burning.
I'm sure it's mostly because of the wondrous memories when I was young -- my siblings and I raking leaves in the yard into a large pile. Then jumping in the pile sometimes. And then Mom or Dad setting the pile of leaves on fire. And I would watch, fascinated, taking in the cool evening darkness and smells and laughter.
I remember painting the molding of my youngest boys room with a paint that required on the label instructions that I use a specific respirator to avoid exposure to the fumes. (And yes, some of those VOC's do smell good. I also love the smell of almonds, but cyanide is obviously dangerous to humans.)
