Portlandia (Season 1)

This sketch comedy drew my attention for various reasons, mostly because I enjoy seeing hipsters being ridiculed through parody. Fred Armison and Carrie Brownstein are irritatingly perfect in this niche, although sometimes the jokes become so narrow that it takes some intimate knowledge of the city to follow them. Where it succeeds, it really succeeds, taking the truths of its stereotypes to their naturally bizarre conclusions.

I love this movie. That last fight between Spike and Vincent is so fucking epic. And its always a pleasure to see Faye.

Indeed, the fight is great, but i prefer the last one in the final episode more. The series is so damn moving in those last three eps.

funny, ed's nickname for faye is my wife's actual name. =D they kinda act alike too :\
 
For the Next 7 Generations


In 2004, 13 Indigenous Grandmothers from all four corners, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at a historic gathering, where they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. This is their story. Four years in-the-making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next 7 Generations follows what happens when these women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it's too late. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom

i cant try and rate this.



the Dali Llama, can sure be funny...
'im not a monk, i could be a Grandfather you know - ahahhaaahahah'
 
Saw a couple movies this weekend:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Honestly had no idea what the movie was about going in. Thought it was pretty darn good. Awesome soundtrack (though I didn't expect anything less than that with Trent Reznor being a part of it). Some of the dialog was hard for me to understand at parts though... Makes me wish subtitles came standard on films. :-/

Ghost Busters: Not what I expected. I thought it would be a movie about the guys going around catching ghosts. Yes, that was part of it, but not the entire thing. It was good, glad I finally saw it, but I doubt if I'll ever re-watch it or watch number two. :P
 
^come on, that eighties cartoon mysticism is great fun. the second one was just as good imo. fantastic characters.
 
anything Bill Murray.


i love the ghost-buster stuff, the theater i went to see it when released was perfect, run down historic type, old usa down town gig. lady in the library scared the shit outta me!!!

i want to watch some Indiana Jones now...
 
bill murray is good stuff. i've seen one of the ghost buster movies way too many times and the other not enough. i wanna see the one with the marshmallow man more. no more of the painting and baby.

glad to see Alphaville gets a 10 from yea, Panic. you took your time with that one.


i just saw the coen brother's re-make of True Grit. i fell short of impressed.
 
^^the French Ectoplasm Seances in the late 1800's i think a some influence on that, the StayPuft MM Man. and most the film. lots of mythology etc, beautiful cinematography at times.
fuck it.
;)


Alhpaville could be easy to try and pick apart, as being cliche, but...Godards influence on modern film makers is becoming very clear, and he deserves some more credit, if you ask me.

i want to watch Im Not here Again actually, i wanted to start over half way through TBH. very insightful flick.

Balthazar is what it'll be tho.

his films are openly pretentious. and he considered stealing from other creative works part of his goal.

lol i see.

Kubrick did a grand job.


that is interesting too, i often when starting to write something, stop because i recognize how its been done a million times, but so have all stories, they repeat over and over. the trick is....to do a grand job.
 
^melville says something about it not being about creating answers to the age old questions, but instead elegantly restating them.

yeah, such is life, such is mine.


in the belly of the whale, there are two ways out...and neither is the way in.
and from what ive gathered, it all started in the lil town of uRuK, from ones own view of the deep, and the circumstances and relations to form and unfold.


the most, aw-filling thing out about what i absolutely can not emphasize my astonishment over, atm, is how these 'original stories' from C. 7th century BC, are the most accurate most unchanged, most original pieces of text we have as humans.

so cool...hhaha.

"Gilgamesh, whither are you wandering? Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands. Gilgamesh, fill you belly, day and night make merry, let days be full of joy, dance and make music day and night. And wear fresh clothes, and wash your head and bathe. Look at the child that is holding your hand, and let your wife delight in your embrace. These things alone are the concern of men."

speaking of originality, i am at the present moment reading a 1st century hagiography on saint germanus. seems the idea of a haunting being as a result of improper burial, with the protagonist finding the remains to cleanse and bury them, and therefore remove the haunting, is MUCH older than i would have ever thought.

oh dude, good call...

this is why Pyre Funerals are important -
i think often they shoot for 8 hours after the death of a Saint and such people to do so, or with the Hindu this is customary rather.

^ i keep thinking about that. & im serious when i say if you want a bag of pea-nuts like you get on the air-plane, every freaking monday the rest of your life, you had better have(or make peace as to why you cant) it or you just might come back a miserable traveling salesman or airline stuart, just for the nuts.



i only watched part of Balthazar, the first part, of which the first 5 minutes are beautiful -
so perfect, and the donkey is one of the cutest, most adorable things ive seen.!
