Mono Monday - ROOM 101 - (Joe Hill - NOT...)

ROOM 101 - what a difficult challenge! I've seen a few ideas which could have been fine for me too; bad grammar (sorry, my sense for the English grammar is worse than for Swedish and Finnish), Donald Trump, blip bugs (e.g. mm101, Mm101, MM101)... Or why not homework I showed in my yesterday blip and which was locked in a kind of Room 101...

Difficult, difficult... until we decided to see a film about Joe Hill this Monday evening...  I don't like "old" Swedish films if the sound quality is poor (it is, usually!- ROOM 101!). Fortunately, the modern technology is often helpful when there is a possibility to find a helpful text to read. Not this time! Worse; this Swedish film is in English mostly... not really easy for us to understand all the time, even though the quality of the sound is rather ok.

But the story of Joe Hill is very interesting and the film has been awarded by the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971! Don't lock it in the ROOM 101 - see it!

For you wondering about the challenge ROOM 101, here is the clarification by Skeena, hosting this challenge: "The phrase ROOM 101 was first coined in the book 1984 by George Orwell. It was a torture chamber where the Ministry of Love extracted information. It contained the worst things that anyone could fear. Orwell gave it that number after the room at the BBC where he endured hours of meetings.
 More lately it has become better known in the UK as a game show where you are allowed to pick the one thing you hate and can have locked up for good in ROOM 101.
This is your chance to do the same."
