i’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow

In my New Order listening this morning, I slipped into Joy Division mode.
Shocking, I know.
Had this song on repeat and it’s funny, because this week I’ve been thinking about this movie that accompanies this clip.

I’ve lived all over the world, I’ve left every place

It’s nights like this that make me miss my dvd collection.

tenuousness

Ever scare yourself into awakening from your own breathing?
Its going to be a long day.
Tonight, however, I am going to see The Spirit and I hope its better than the last film I watched.
Had kind of a weekend at the movies, if you will. Seeing as its award season there are some pristine copies of [...]

high winds and sand

A line from a Canadian documentary we watched in film school, that was said with such monotone disdain its etched in my memory, and completely reflects the weather at the moment. Serious wind storm going on, the power has been on and off and trees are falling down left and right.
So I plan to spend [...]

It is a sad fact of life…but the truth is we all have to eat a little shit from time to time

Words of wisdom from Bruce Willis in Fast Food Nation.
Have you seen it? Or perhas read the book?
Just watched it this evening and found it to be quite enjoyable. Watching it with omnivores was amusing. I think one of them might have switched teams, or at least will never touch fast food again.
Do you eat [...]

and wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Your go to, classic, feel good film?
The Wizard of Oz makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I caught it on telly tonight, and couldn’t resist. Its funny, I dislike musicals, but I am never bothered by the songs in this film. Perhaps because its tied so closely to childhood.

If you could have a wish [...]

i’m getting older too

I think we got our first snow last night. Mixed in with a bit of freezing rain, and a delightful power outage.
Everything has dried up today, and its a nice cold fall/winter day. Grand for walking and cups of tea, which I shall do in a little while.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a new [...]

heroes and villains

Seems to be a recurring theme in television and movies these days. Or perhaps it has always been there and I’m just noticing it more now. Is it just me?
The phrase “heroes and villains” was mentioned a handful of times in Quantum of Solace, which I went to see last night, and I wish I [...]

leave some things alone

why must hollywood remake everything?
is there a stellar remake you can recall?
actually, my argument might have no salt…i think the 1984 version of the karate kid was a remake from the 60s. still, question remains – a remake you enjoy more than the original?

Oh say, say, say. Oh say, say, say!

Do you find that certain music is always tied to the place or surrounding where you first heard it? Or perhaps not necessarily when you first heard it, but the place where you truly uncovered it and dug in a little deeper.
I’m terrible with song association, its something I’m trying to stop doing but I’ve always found it [...]
