For those hardcore film fans (and I know there are a few of you, lest you have decided not to patronize this forsaken journal), this site will prove a wonderful resource for daily updates on happenings and new articles on film on the net. It's what Aint-it-Cool wishes it was. And it's easier to read too.Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11589504567599860716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710918.post-1077466715263994572004-02-22T08:18:00.000-08:002004-02-22T08:24:05.483-08:00For all few of you that read this (and those that linked me, bless your souls), please redirect yourselves to: here
I think I'll be updating there instead. I love having the links here (it's become my homepage), but the facts that the comments are outsourced and got deleted once bugs me...and that blogger is google-able. Bastards. Sorry for the trouble.

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on

A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight

You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight

Met this kid in 1st year who went to NYFA (the same school Chris, Quark, Lia and Jomi went to) last year. With him being in 1st year, I'm not so sure how that worked. Unless of course he's an older freshmen. Looked pretty young though.

But alas, let the naive act naive and hide behind their defenses. It is a good cover to use when you can not address what is being asked. So much for causes...

Just finished reading an excerpt from an interview with Ray Carney. That guy is a head trip. Much like the films that he champions, just reading what he says makes you re-evaluate a lot of your current philosophies and tastes in regard to cinema. When he attacks, he's ruthless, but his arguments make so much sense that you can almost feel your affinity for a filmmaker you once loved Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11589504567599860716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710918.post-888547312003-02-10T07:54:00.000-08:002003-02-10T07:54:25.406-08:00Well, I'm starting this as the clock hits 11:00pm and my last hour as a 21 year-old begins.

Friday - Went to Pampanga for all souls day, and visited the cemetary. There were less people in the cemetary than usual. I wonder why? Talked to my cousin Steph, who is studying architecture. Always good, but we only seem to talk once a year.

What It Means
I finally scored a copy of Guillermo Arriaga's script of 21 Grams, which will be the first English-language film from Mexican helmer Alejandro González Iñárritu.

The Sweet Hereafter, directed by Atom Egoyan
Words can not describe the visual and audial poetry evoked by Egoyan in this film. Sarah Polley is amazing...as is her rendition of the Tragically Hip's "Courage".

When talking about making her first bold film, she said she did it (in her ratty little kid voice) because "Viva did so much for me, I felt I owed them something".
On why she continued doing bold films: "then we said, 'oh my gosh! this works! it clicked!"

I hope I'm able to get everything done in time. I can't wait till the semesters over. I am, for once, gonna study my ass off...for the next nine days at least.
Had my Business Ethics Orals today and it went pretty smooth. Had to study 52 questions, and answer 3. Luckily the three I choose weren't too difficult. One down, I don't wanna know how many more to go.

Watched and went throught the features of CQ via the DVD that Quark lent me (thanks!). Fantastic. I loved it. There were a lot of film references in the film, a number of which I probably missed. It's mod and stylish enough for people not really into film to have fun watching it, but it's really a film for people who love film.

I don't even know why I'm blogging this, but I guess I just have no one to tell at the moment...
I texted my ex-girlfriend earlier, the one who isn't really talking to me. I don't remember exactly what I texted, but it was something in the way of attempting to open up the lines of communication again.

Anderson. It's an interesting article. Well written. There was an anecdote in it I found funny, and thought I'd share:

I want to start a local magazine like Cahiers Du Cinéma
By this I mean a magazine strictly about cinema, written seriously and in-length, uncensored, and by people who know of and are passionate about what they writing. I want to round up a young staff in the vain of early Cahiers (Eric Rohmer, François Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, Claude Chabrol, and Jean-Luc Godard) of critics, Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11589504567599860716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710918.post-827758542002-10-09T21:28:00.000-07:002002-10-09T23:53:18.000-07:00

* Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Faris star in LOST IN TRANSLATION for writer/director Sofia Coppola (THE VIRGIN SUICIDES) and Focus Features. It's about two Americans who meet and spend a week together lost in Tokyo. Shooting is underway in Japan.

A juicy bit just in and hot off the rumor mill. Batang West Side - yes, that one, is coming to DVD! No details at post time, but keep tuned for more tidbits. Let's just say, it's not a Viva or Regal release. I wonder what suprise the DVD will have in store for us. Stay tuned!
