We had a kind of weird and childish psychology test on Monday: two different groups, five small essays, 30 minutes time. Is J. mentally sane? How could she ever think film students would arrive on time and work silently and diligently on their own tests? The practical task was a mess, too: not everyone had a movie chosen, not everyone's could be ( Read more... )

When I left home I suddenly began regretting applying alone to this project. I knew there'll be lots of acquaintances, lot's of snobs like me and I felt anxious: you know, you enter the theater and see hundreds of Lauder's girls, BDG's drama course girls and actors from the uni and probably some hostile classmates with their snobbish friends. And ( Read more... )

...Ms. Schulze!

Jeez, I absolutely should work on my filmtheory paper. I watched that freaking first sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey with the Apemen and Moonwatcher and the obelisk gazillions of times, and for a while, I found it better and better time to time, but after a certain degree I guess everyone would feel the same utter detachment or ( Read more... )

What did I promise you? That I'll be back on Sunday, ha.
Okay, I'm waiting for this little pupil of mine to arrive, and am not working on anything, but. I just stopped proofreading the new Wong Kar Wai issue of Metropolis to read the news and do whatever, and came across this:

"Az 1949 előtti Kínát felidéző Szerelemre hangolva című 2000-es filmje ( Read more... )

Okay, no more posts this week, zettai ni.
I came home from the city happily, sat down to study words, when A. called me from Grafton whether I could do a minor job, namely substituting for the receptionist at NextiraOne. Of course I agreed, but it turned out, that the hours are from 8.00 AM till 19.00 PM, and that's a lot. But it is manageable for ( Read more... )

I cannot believe this: as I began working on the Lolita Shopping Guide to Budapest I bumped into this...

BUDAPEST ( Read more... )

The day before yesterday I went downtown to record some footage for my Hannukah-Matisyahu video. Met a bunch of policemen at Nyugati tér, and it was fairly amusing to discover those double-crosses every time we bumped into a menorah. A guy asked me for more information about the lighting and the chag in general, because I was carrying a camera!Then ( Read more... )

Still working on it. Still, still, still. *yawn* It's getting boring even for myself. Explaining what gothic is...not a fine thing, but they simply don't know [I assume they don't even understand the majority of puns in Burton's ouevre]. This is Hungary after all. Where you put 3 exact footnotes after your brainy essay and are considered a leading ( Read more... )

This job is literally giving me a bad head-ache to begin with the negative sensation. Initially one of the editors opposed giving it to me, thinking of calling someone with a degree in Chinese, but with the editor in-chief and one of the other editors [A., one of my classmates] pushing me I got it. Ooh, I got it...everyday when I came home early ( Read more... )

I'm proud to announce that Tamakatsura no Eiga Hyoron is ready and had taken a beautiful shape. Please click the link if you're interested in Far- and not-so-Far-Eastern cinema! Articles, criticism, reviews, tv-schedule, programmes, books & soon even more, mostly in Hungarian, but there are some English summaries of the texts there, too ( Read more... )
