MOVIES!

months later.. I'm still kind of recovering from how good 'Inland Empire' was. such a real thrill to be around for him as he continues to dazzle.

although ... as great as 'IE' was I have to admit I am little bit disappointed about his conviction that he will never use film again.

My favorite scene - Mike gets out of car to kick Jeffrey's ass, Dorothy suddenly appears naked with cuts all over her body

fuck watching a lynch

fay grim. i liked it alright - nice to have the old gang back together.

lol @ Bug, I saw the play off broadway. the whole point was that the bugs were probably imaginary! can't believe they made that a movie.

watched Born Into Brothels last night

I noticed echoes of The Graduate in some of the scenes with Dorothy and Jeffrey, and also of 80s teen movies at certain points, but I have this vague memory of hearing Lynch say he doesn't like to reference other films. Did I make that up?

which is to say: i just watched elephant man and didn't get a lot out of it. i haven't seen dune in forever.

festival express

really? did you like it?

mr. brooks

it was entertaining overall. there's some amazing footage of buddy guy and the band, and some very endearing joplin stuff. good off-stage drama/antics/jams. oh, and sha na na. man... what the hell was their deal? i LOVED them when i was very young (like 5/6 yrs) but i think i was missing something.

sha na na

i thought festival express was mildly diverting

some of the jams on the train were pretty cool

I love The Band

i saw it too, i was just kinda surprised that it showed outside canada!

sha na na were so weird!!

I saw it on netflix but it showed in theaters in new york

sha na na omg

i wld also be watching movies but i haven't watched a movie in ages :( and i have to go cover electro music fest stuff tonight, which i should just buck up about but i simply do not have teh expensive multi-coloured runners for it all
xpost
i bet it was scary

i saw a workprint that looked pretty close to finished, so there were a few nits, but i thought it was good. it's a pretty similar movie to the first one, but somehow the characters are even less sympathetic. the torture scenes are more exaggerated and gruesome, though i think they'll need to be punched up a bit from what i saw in the workprint. i liked it, but i think i would've preferred an entirely new film.

electro stuff wasn't v electro in the end plus there were movies! okay, visuals but movie-ish right? they were by semiconductor - freakin great and produced in a live way, controlled via contact mics on a piano played, which this german guy hauschka played (awesomely)

i had wine instead of beer. also: w33d

THEY HAVE CABLE HERE

cable is impossible to resist when you don't normally have it
it gets boring eventually but at first it's pure glory

I think i need to go see paprika tomorrow night after brazzaville.

5 HBO channels, and as many SHOWTIMES

oh man awesome

cablestory: after my first semester of grad school i went to toronto to have christmas with my boyfriend, who had recently moved there and found a place that had cable included in the rent whoa, and i was so wiped out and i think had a cold too that all i did for two whole days was lay on the couch and watch cable tv, mostly old movies and the home and garden network and the price is right
and my boyfriend went to work and figured out dinner too
it was sweet

i had free basic cable for a year once. i used to stay up and get stoned and watch charlie rose. i made "remote control" out of a wire hanger and used it to change channels by poking the buttons on the tv.

how do i get a friend with basic cable benefits

Ronin - better than Heat

cable without a remote control seems like a kind of v v minor form of purgatory

i'm pretty sure that this time last year i was watching Ronin with gravel puzzleworth and being totally confused (stoned)!

no wait that was in wintertime. still though, ronin is good and i should be watched again.

in the commonwealth of canada, ronin watches you

my friends made the best remote control substitute: a stuffed rubber glove, with the index/pointer finger extended, tied to a broom handle.
