It's a hard film to sit through...
but its so well acted and very powerful.
But there is a truly disturbing scene in it.
Another great film with the same type of theme is "The Believer" with Ryan Gosling....
check that one out as well.
I once thought of becoming a film historian...but was told that i would have to go back to college to study journalism
"American history x" is very disturbing, but such a good film... i recommend it for at least one viewing!
If D and I cannot make ends meet to make it to seattle later in the year, then i would definitely think about the Palm springs film fest!
Ask Charlene if she's seen "The Believer" also....
no, not keeping me up.
But i'll try and go to bed soon.
I have some errands to run before work tom.morning.
Plus i have to get a vcr from my moms tomm. as i have to tape some films for Morgan....
i told her i'd tape "The Wicker Man" and "Tank girl" for her.
I'd tape some more films for you...but i recall you telling me you didn't like having to many things/collectibles in your home
why would you send it back to me?
i have it on vhs already!
That copy is yours....
but if you ever want a film in my collection, just let me know!
when i lived in n.y.c. i was a minimalist as well.....
then i married D
and clutter and mayhem ensued!
way too many things inhabit our apt. now.
I'm off to bed soon....
have a good night!
i saw that while i was at work today....i thought i was going to fall out of my chair laughing. that's some funny shit! i mean, of all places to go, he picked indy. wow. but he's better than mike vandersuck and a lot less whiney.
Hurm, people being an ass to me is something I don't like.
I also really really hate it when someone double parks on a one lane side street, next to an empty space, leaving someone in the passenger seat who can't drive and ultimately holding up traffic. REALLY pisses me off.
Thanks for the nice comment.
I hate olives. I know someone else already said that, but it reminded me of how much I hate them.
I don't like cold, windy days or getting up early.
I don't like getting random meat (usually bacon) in my food at restaurants. No, I don't want to pick it off.
She didn't like it that much....or did she just think it was overhyped?
I'm off to a winetasting event/fundraiser tom. night.
Hhhmmmm...... an alcoholic at a wine tasting shindig
Hope i don't make a total ass out of myself
We shall see....
i'm more of a vodka/whiskey kind of girl.
I do like wine,but it usually makes me drunk and sleepy
so i'm going to keep stuffing my face with the buffet food so i don't get drunk to quick!
i can understand what she means about getting spoiled by certain films.
And yes, Vertigo was a good film....but his best?
I think not.
Which Lynch films have you not seen yet that you are looking forward to seeing soon?
I would gladly not sit through Eraserhead ever again.....that was too fucked up, even for me
I got a kick out of "wild at heart" though...
"Mulholland drive" just confused me, even after seeing it a second time.
and "Fire walk with me...." was to bleak and creepy ( the ending depressed the hell out of me)
Like i said before, you definitely have to see "The elephant man"
I love those damn praeger burgers!
oohhhh...... forgot how much i love "Blue Velvet"
i'm going to have to go back and read that five page essay on "Mulholland dr."....
i have questions that must be answered!!
"Lost highway" i enjoyed, but that to went way over my head.
Which i now know Lynch does on purpose, i'm convinced he's all about the mindfuck and viewing his films are just a great little adventure into his dreams/nightmares.
and "The straight story" was okay, but it was such a calm passive film for lynch that at times i mistook it for boring
See....you misquoted me...
i said " i mistook it for boring"
so you are getting indian food tonight, and i'm a bit jealous!
Tell Charlene i said hello, i'm going to get off the computer, lie down and do some reading.
I want to fall asleep fairly early tonight so i can actually try and be productive tomm.
I'll write about my winetasting party soon.
Good luck with that haircut
but its so well acted and very powerful.
But there is a truly disturbing scene in it.
