when you touched me it felt like 1984
have you SCENE the front page?
yes, i am playing with a tesela coil.
I have been busy really busy lately. The film festival is this week and the Nashville Cinema Underground really out did themselves this time. I saw two cinematic masterpieces yesterday. This week was full of stops on the streets and people looking up from their meals to associate me with the paper they were reading. We were all over the Tennessean as well. We need to do some major programmer trainings again. I really want a sense of a well trained and community that can then spread their knowledge to other people so they can have shows too. So exciting. So fucking exciting. I think that I really want to do an internship with Prometheus in west Philly come September. I have a very important date with a very important grrrl tonight.
I was feeling really depressed and down for a few hours yesterday. i just feel like i am getting into a rut. i need to travel and get out and experience something/someone totally new. i will be done with school after this week. after that i want to get out to chi-town maybe. the ocean maybe. who's with me?
It's weird the way I have party friends now. I feel like I know lotsa peoples, none of them impress me too much. Friday party was a bust. I wasn't impressed. Everyone is Nashville is washed out. All of these people have been in the scene for like 4 years and haven't changed a bit. Nashville needs new blood. Everyone was just standing around getting drunk. uhhh. They didn't use their inebriated state to dance or make out or anything fun. Just standing and talking. I did get to hang out with Hana a bunch though. Her band played. It seemed like late friday afternoon i couldn't go anywhere with out running into at least 3 people that i know. Friday was nice because i did get to dork out about movies and had an in depth critique filled conversation with a guy about john cassavetes. I danced in the park, a lot. I spent Friday during the day with Laura Lou and we had a rockin time. I really adore her as a friend and I think she's an amazing person. After Lou and the movie conversation I did some renegade Karaoke with Anna and Michelle and Zarah. We rule.
i spent the day walking and laying in the grass with leah yesterday. it was nice and relaxing. we caught up and talked about things that needed talking about. we had boys dance for us on the sidewalk and we slept in the sun. people stopped me to recognize me from the paper. people called me wanting to know more. i missed the last five minutes of the movie. i wonder how it ended. i was just worried about her. i wanted to make sure she was ok.
i saw the heart is deceitful above all things. it was quite possibly one of the best movies i have ever seen. a true masterpiece as it mixed surrealist imagery to convey the emotional rollercoaster that of the protagonist, a small boy between his years of 6-12. It is a story of his journey though foster parents into the hands of his irresponsible prostituting/drug addicted mother who creates a blur between love and neglect. He travels from methlabs to truck stops to fundamentalists grandparents to cross dressing trailer parks. The film is emotionally vivid as the child’s ignorance of youth clashes with his quickly acquired street smarts. the viewer is allowed to see the entire story and fully comprehend what is happening as the boy continues on in confusion. The cinematography was brilliantly intimate. Asia Argento skillfully directed and acted along side Peter Fonda, Marylin Manson, Jeremy Sisto, Wynona Ryder,and Micheal Pitt in this superb film.
I also saw The Devil Probably (Le Diable probablement). Another Robert Bresson minimalist film that explores the life of young Charles(played by Jean Renoir's grandson) who is trying to find rationale and redemption as he makes it on his own in the city. A nihilistic approach to life is taken as he sulks around through two relationships with young and strong women. As usual in a Bresson, a strong politcal message is conveyed through graphic scenes of oil spills and the clubbing of a baby seal. Charles contemplates suicide throughout the film and truely explores the social and emotional struggle of disassociated youth. Through the use of little dialouge this stigma is analyzed with wonderful acting and finely setup scenes. The lack of conversations make the film a little hard to follow and in the middle actually becomes quite dull. However, the last ten minutes make up for everything and the build up is fianlly releived. This film was banned for 17 years in France due to its open discussion of suicide and political enviromental message. It was introduced by Harmony Korine.
(i don't know why i decided to write dumb reviews of these films but i hoped they helped someone who wanted to know.)
Ok well I am going to get started on my day. Have a good one and call me if you want to see any films this weekend. It's a lot of fun. I sat with Jim Ridley last night and he's such a nice guy who is so knowledgeable on so many subjects.
