is it apathy or genius? This started with a simple idea. Doing work half-assed cause you know someone else has to go behind you to complete the job. I learned its both. I was once that guy that didn't mind finishing everything up. Now i see myself becoming more like them: an apathetic genius.
to me that is a new movie by director Park Chan-wook. "THIRST" yes the same Park Chan-wook of "old boy, sympathy for lady vengeance, and sympathy for Mr. Vengeance." i also strongly recommend these three for anyone that loves movies. if you're saying that these are foreign and i don't speak korean. well there is this great thing now called subtitles and are quite nice. So quit being lazy and read, you won't regret it.
the story for thirst goes like this: a priest becomes a vampire...another man's wife is coveted...a deadly seduction triggers murder....Awesome
Moon is on the independent side, i don't like giving away anything so i'll just use the plot description from IMDB "Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems."
it is actually a really good movie, if this were to have hit the mainstream circuit i would have to take back my comment about american movies. Moon is very original and is worth the price of a ticket.
Well just read that the Director Duncan Jones is the son of a Mr. David Bowie, interesting. i'm no longer sure if this is considered an american movie. none the less a good movie so skip "Orphan" or "G-force" and find one of the theaters playing Moon. and Watch it
from Jalopnik An enterprising young YouTuber named Swede Mason's put together this mashup video proving that yes, Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson is just as, if not more-so, entertaining when he's making noises than when he's reviewing cars.
my fav Japanese pop/rock songs with their odd videos. though i have no idea what they are saying, if you truly appreciate music you dont have to understand it.
first up is HALCALI, i almost wouldn't call their music pop. the way they flow its almost like rap. and they are known to have some odd videos. check them out.
Next is Maximum the Hormone, if you watch anime you are familiar. this song is koi no mega lover and dont let the intro fool you. if you like this search for "Whats up people" they have a lot of good songs
Boom Boom Satellites with Kick it Out! nothing really weird with them just good stuff
and for fun a little Dragon Ash
if you haven't yet, you should definitely open up to some world music. like i said these are just some of my favs. Go find your own
just finished watching Paprika( a japanese anime movie)
this opening scene should trip you out enough.
it has a really great story, better than anything we (america) can come up with. our animations tend to lean on the kiddie side. the darkest "american" animation i've seen is the Animatrix and i think even that had some japanese submissions.
i won't give away any of the story to paprika cause its a must watch. you can find it on Netflix, i did.
i used to spend a lot of money on foriegn films, buying dvd's from Frys, Best buy, and from ebay. now its just like 15 bucks a month and i have a long queue of movies waiting to be shipped out. it really does simplify things.
got off on a netflix and crappy american movie tangent there, oops.
what i was gunning for was the thought i had after watching the movie. is that fact that i never remember any of my dreams. better i should say i never remember the whole thing. i can remember a fall cause that normally wakes me up, and i can get flashes of sexy time dreams. but never enough to think its worth writing down. i've never had a reoccurring dream. is it cause i am rarely complex'd? my life too easy or something?
i'm a simple guy that likes to keep busy. i wish i had a steady medium, but mixed media and anything new i can get my hands on can be made into something. i'm a fan of nonsense....the why?'s and WTF's are fun. which always leaves me looking for something new.
