Dexter Revenge Fantasies and a Long Demand for Accountability

Lehan Edirisinghe

A movie-heavy day of Dexter-style revenge imagery, diner nostalgia, legal and banking name-dropping, empathy for people suffering in Sri Lanka, and a bigger argument that the country now needs real accountability.

Imagining Dexter Morgan Confronting Me Over Fifty-Two Cards

9:45 a.m.

(b)

Megan Fox is shackled up here!

I like it.

I like it a lot.

I gotta get my breakfast soon.

Umm

Maybe, one day, when I find myself, in the plastic laboratory of Dexter Morgan.

He will have pictures, of all 52 cards on my naughty list, all showing

And then, I will just say, I didn't do anything to them

He will think about it, he will say, no, you just had somebody else do it for you

I will say no, I didn't have anyone else do anything

I just said it wasn't justice for them to suffer

He will smile, and he will untie me, and then, he will tell me to take the safety off one of his knives, as I forgot, it was in a casing, and then, he will point at his heart

I just said it wasn't justice for them to suffer

American Diners, Kanchana Ratwatte and a Warning From Jagath

10:00 a.m.

(c)

I love the American diners, like this, where you get the milkshakes, I love the setting..

I went to the place, outside, opposite Jagath's Wijeramaya Mawatha main house, which used to be an American style restaurant. The food was awful. But it looked okay. Now it's a flower shop.

I had the good luck of running into Kanchana Ratwatte, who is now the biggest bank, Bank of Ceylon's most important person, the chairman.

We had a chat. As usual, I remember everything important that is ever said to me. I remember everything that is said to me. Especially, if cool, interesting or useful or business related.

Jagath Sumathipala, my mom's brother, soon called me the next minute, told me not to get involved in my own legal case. The guy's a██████████ I think he's up to no good. ██████████████████████

Comparing Christian and Russian Villain Stereotypes

10:15 a.m.

(d)

I noticed, the bad guy, in Midnight in Switch Glass, that guy is a Christian, wears a cross, sings Christian songs, etc. This guy here is Russian, he has a Russian accent, he is clearly the villain in this movie.

The Anti Defamation League or the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will protest if it was a portrayal of a Jewish person, wearing a star of David, singing Jewish songs, etc.

Waiting for Medicine and Criticizing My Mother’s Inheritance Deal

1:15 p.m.

(c)

Will confirm her address later. It is nearby. I'm waiting for my medicine. Will head home in an Uber soon..

I just realized, my mum, she had inherited a $20m a year business, in 2005, but agreed with Lal to receive Rs 200,000 or $700 bucks a month! Peanuts. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Positive Music, Empathy and Sri Lanka’s Suffering

3:45 p.m.

(b)

Hehe

I think I'm feeling better listening to positive music.

I get somewhat negative, cynical

I am proud of my mum

I don't honestly care

Things are working out

***

I get to be a hero

I think many have suffered too

It was never easy, that's why it makes it worthwhile

to achieve, to do

I am pretty well off, compared to the hellish suffering many of our people are enduring

People in SL are dying horrifically

Starving to death, no money at all

Gotabaya is being blamed

Terrible state of affairs

I guess, I empathise too much

People watch , they feel happy for them

I see people suffer, I feel really sad for them

Michelle Yeoh and Seeking Security Partners Beyond the United States

5:00 p.m.

(b)

I love Michelle Yeoh in Crazy Rich Asians and Star Trek.

I think in that Jackie Chan movie too.

***

I think that as a general rule of survival. We should fall back, and work with Russia or China, or alternative security partners if the US doesn't partner. This is because we need money to survive. If you continue to live a fantasy, "the US is our partner, and our friend", and there is nothing achieved, you will only die. It is important to value life, to protect life, and take action to stay alive. A partner, a friend, doesn't betray, watch from afar ignoring any suffering, and kill partners.

Appreciating the Cinematography and Criticizing “Nomadland”

5:00 p.m.

(c)

I'm sure, they are quite consistent, they deserve the fair chance to do their part.. anyway.

I sort of like the cinematography in this movie.

I like things like that. I really appreciate things like that. I hate the cinematography in most movies.

I despite Nomadland. Every 2 seconds, new shot, back and forth, it is horrible.

Admiring Cinematography and Joking About Weapons as Freedom

6:30 p.m.

(d)

This is a beautiful shot

I like cinematography

Good photography

24 photographs per second

People say some big machine guns, they fire 200 or 500 rounds of freedom per second or minute

I don't know

I think nuclear bombs light the freedom fire

Quentin says that, once, for some movie, "█████████" (what Me Too call him), he caved, and said "just remember only Miramax did it" and bla bla bla

This movie is copying the Quentin style of using music during fights, the tension, prolonged suspense, the Kill Bill type of suit, the dark humor

I try hard to be original in my own work

I never direct photocopy

When I plagiarize, I always rewrite it in my own words, or I learn the point, or how to do it, and then do it

I miss Udesh Dharmadasa

I think I enjoyed playing video games with him most, he was a very cool person, a good friend

I don't care about ████

She made a small mistake, I gave her permission

I am rattled with anxiety
