A Thousand And One Smithereens


New Rouge is up, I'll be posting more this week.
"It is not a story, but a flood of countless fragments and flowing memory images which are complemented by Varda’s playful and/or melancholic remarks, quoting from her own oeuvre. An enormous number of people and observations whirl by on the screen. Joy and mourning, whimsical and heartfelt comments enrich the senses. Far-flung yet never self-indulgent, her own wondering discoveries are floating, as is the spectator’s delight. "

Quote of the Day:

Retiring
is a word for going to sleep. I prefer to think of myself as being up, wide-awake, and looking at new challenges.

1. "Is Guilt A Thought or An Emotion?"



Sometimes, the simplest question is the most complex.








2. Art: Personal, Professional, No Propositions for Perfection?...That's balance.


"Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon. When artists talk about professionalism, it’s probably wise to contradict yourself."






3. The Hunger Never Ends



I'm gonna keep force feeding you people this film. (via The House)

Quote of the Day:


A thousand years ago five minutes were Equal to forty ounces of fine sand. Outstare the stars. Infinite foretime and Infinite aftertime: above your head They close like giant wings, and you are dead.

Thought of the Day: More Intelligent Life FTW. That is all.










1. The Most Overused Word In The Dictionary

MLI debates who is worthy of the title, and of course, who is not. Keep checking as they add more and more.
"The word “iconic”, he writes, is “cosily religiose, softly spiritual… It is today’s expression of humankind’s perennial bent towards aggrandisement.”"










2. "Film.....Anthopy?" Just click it people.








3. Idealism and the Art-Fair

"This fair is so much fun, with its obstacle-course layout, low prices and anti-establishment vigour, that I wonder if it will attract the kind of big-name collectors who can make the difference in an artist’s career. This is no yacht, after all"










4. Kombucha: Miracle Beverage?


Don't Push Me....I'll drink it.









St. Vincent: The Strangers


^song there

Everyone knows I have a shameless love for St. Vincent…I want to meet, date, marry, rejoice, divorce, meet twenty years later in a foreign country, realign, live happily ever after love her…..thats just musically speaking.






Quote of the Day: " Paint the Blackhole Blacker"

More recurring thoughts, to a screen near you. After all, a polka-dotted eye, never sees a clearer picture.









1. '300 Bodies Dissolved'

"They brought me the bodies and I just got rid of them," Mr Meza told journalists at a construction site where he disposed of the bodies over a 10-year period. "I didn't feel anything."











2. Quite possibly my favorite battle of all time. Han
nibal the mastermind...70,000 people in 6 hours?...Speech isn't equipped to express the things.







3. Invisibility Cloak...Finally?

You don't even want to know why I don't need to get my hands on this.

4. Me and a few friends were discussing this earlier this week, so I figure why not re-embrace this link.

Quote of the Day:

"A spirit storming in blank walls,

A dirty house in a gutted world,
A tatter of shadows peaked to white,
Smeared with the gold of the opulent sun."

3. My eccentric brother Cleveland's new mix, first link is the music, second is the tracklist, and third is the download. To me the key to listening to TurboCity Radio Episodes is to respect the art, you don't listen to what's being said as much as (as with all art) focus on the backbone of what is being expressed. This rides hard, no pause necessary...As Diddy told me last night, " Lets Go!"

Quote of the Day: "Torquated beauty, sublimated grouse,
Finding your China right behind my house.
Was he in Sherlock Holmes, the fellow whose
Tracks pointed back when he reversed his shoes ?"

As promised, I'm finally going to be transferring the links to this site as well as dropping other bits of random material from time to time. My other site Cine-Mono-Mania will be returning around the end of the month, starting with a review of Tokyo!. These post are inspired by one of my favorite blogs the consistently untouchable The House Next Door, just given a more personal touch, please check them out at: http://www.thehousenextdooronline.com/ Lets, shall we?

2. What gets me about this, is the idea of perception, something im increasingly fascinated by. The fascination doesn't lie within perception itself but instead in the strength and lengths that people will go to maintain their perception and alter others.

5. Paying Homage or A Paid Trip Home...either works just fine.




Quote of the Day: " Even the simplest image: "my love’s like a red, red rose, that’s newly sprung in June." presents us with impressions of moisture and warmth and the flow of crimson and the softness of petals inextricably mixed and strung upon the lift of a rhythm which is itelsef the voice of the passion and the hesitation of the love. All this, which is accessible to words, and to words alone, the cinema must avoid. " " - Virginia Woolf
