There are people around me, floating like clouds except under the water, and they are interested in some specific things.It´s getting cold outside and Anna wants a hamburger.On a cold day, a lonely day when you´re listening to a borrowed bossanova disc waiting for your friends to wake up, thinking of Michael Jordan helps your poetry apparatus make sense.That is what happens to incredible thoughts

I´d like to thank the 230 visitors I´ve had in the last few months. I really appreciate having you guys check my blog, even though I´m not able to post my thoughts as often as I´d like to.My last post proved to be a popular post, and although it is a major deviation from the “film” blog, I´m okay with that and am going to try to roll with the punches here.Right now, I´d like to revise my last

Touch

Connection.I am extremely concerned with a pattern I´ve noticed in contemporary film, some books, and retrospectively in poetry, which is always ahead of everything else.If you read my Huckabees post, you´ll hear me talking about the lack of a man-man connection, that is to say that we are islands etc. It´s been expressed in any number of forms, be it sociology, philosophy, poetry, or music. But

I Love (Heart) Huckabees

I Love HuckabeesI´ve seen this film a couple of different times, and all I can say is wow. What a way to say that we are really just stuck in middle of a lot of shit. I´m glad that I could see it with you.After watching Huckabees, while walking downtown, you said that you forgot to call your dad for his birthday. Well, I said, we are surrounded by infinity on all sides, man, I think he´ll be okay

Stranger than Paradise

2006-09-17T04:05:00.000+02:00

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; So I went to the movies last week. Went to see a film called Stranger than Paradise by Jim Jarmusch, which happens to be his first feature film. Right now, I´m just kind of writing to you across this space, listening to some new music I

Talking about The Vue by Joshua Mosley

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; Watching a film of any kind is different during the day. It´s hot outside, and we ate lunch after checking out the exhibition. I´ve read 4 reviews since I got home, and none of them mention anything about watching the film during the day.

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; You look tired. I feel a little tired too. Half the cinema left before the film wrapped up, and you´ve been talking about that since we left. I can´t believe it either, that they just left like that. Then we stop talking and just walk for

Zelig

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; Just watched Zelig. It occurred to me that this blog is all about the pie and coffee you never had, nor I for that matter. Do you like to go out for pie and coffee after a movie? Have you ever skipped pie and coffee because your

V for Vendetta

2006-04-27T23:17:00.000+02:00

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; I like V for Vendetta, I like what the Wachowskis are trying to do with this picture, I like the performances, and I like the graphic novel. If you haven´t read the graphic novel by Alan Moore AND seen the film, I recommend not reading

Blake Edwards

Let´s all say something nice about Blake Edwards, because he deserves as much good will as any filmmaker in history. As you can see, I´m thinking about Blake Edwards.In Spain, they have a state supported theater that plays original classic films, films that have been played thousands of times and are crackling filmy looking artifact-creatures of viewing pleasure past and, every 10 films or so,

Holidays

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; Holidays was a great film I saw earlier this week. Starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, the film takes a traditional American class-themed topic and manages to take this theme to a very emotional level based on the performance by K

The Ice Storm

2006-04-06T10:22:00.000+02:00

var sc_project=1848433; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=17; var sc_security="73d1122b"; I watched The Ice Storm last night. Directed by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, The Incredible Hulk, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), the film has good momentum throughout the picture, which is in part due to a great cast.It is difficult, I
