Politics Like all of them, this quiz didn't really ask all the right questions. One of them was "Should gays not be married?" and of course I answered "No." But if I had it my way the question would say "Should people get married?" Why should only certain people be allowed to get married? Everyone should have the same rights, and I mean EVERYONE. I would still have answered "No." I think that everyone has the right to get married, and that no-one should get married. Anyway, there were other questions I didn't particularly think were just "Yes/No" for me, either, but whatever. I think it generally captured my beliefs about as well as anything could without me specifically writing down a constitution to my beliefs (which I will get around to doing eventually), considering my beliefs probably don't fit into any currently existing political viewpoint, but if I took a mixing of all the ones that I do believe in, it would look a lot like the percentages above. The one thing that I think is important to mention is that I believe democracy (in its truest form) and communism (ideally) are, combined, anarchy. I do not consider anarchy to be a total absence of governance, just a total absence of leaders.

ARGH! but all was still fantastic. ooh. so in short, the spot on the floor is amazing. and antonio banderas' eye is bleeding. and there are 20 bones in the lamp. and there's a fish being eaten by a bird in my painting. and i hate billy and rae. and i hate life and villa julie. and i should be in NEW YORK! and a little stickery thing is that which controls us all. and we found a new place in the colony. and "life is the death of a trip-time." and then this morning Billy says "Dude last night we totally understood that, and it totally doesnt make any sense! and then he goes "I mean...what the hell's a trip-time!?" and then 1 minute later, after silence, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!! ! oooooh..." in pleased demeanor. and billy looked like Krang. The assbrain dude in a glass jar from TMNT! aaah! it was flippin' me out! and numbers mean nothing. i dunno. some other crap as well... and what the hell was up with the spider in Donkey Kong!? then we all realized: OH MY GOD !

The Swedish word for "lesbian" is "Lespi" (spelling?...whatever)
Just a reminder: all moods are always randomly chosen, eyes closed. Assholes. OK...the word of the day, by the way, is: "Dagobah." Here's some pictures. First off, the little Samus 8-bit sprite from NES Metroid that's now my icon is going to be my choice for the "tattoo I'm going to regret party." And it's going on my wrist. Ooooh! Secondly, the following image is what I'm going to get as my first tattoo. Not one i'm going to regret. It is the best book of all time, and it means a lot to me. I'm not getting it with any of the background, just Atlas...and in those same colors, but instead of him carrying a box filled with words, he's going to be carrying the world. There currently does not exist an image of exactly that, but I'm going to present the idea to Kyle the tattoo guy in a few days, hopefully monday, and he'll draw it out for me. It's going to go between my shoulder blades. I hope to get it before spring break.  OK. next on the agenda is a poster for one of the greatest goddamn movies of all time, and everyone should go as far out of their way as possible to see it, no matter what it takes...and it should win best Cinematography and Editing at the oscars on sunday! and I'd love it to win Best Screenplay and Director, but i know it won't....  Next comes a picture of such a sexy sexy human being, and one of the coolest too. However, it is quite a shame that I'd be afraid to hook up with her ever considering the history of her roles in films hahahaha. Kill Bill & Battle Royale...yikes, CROTCH STABBIN!  This is just HILARIOUS!! I typed "Annie Hall" in Google image search looking for a poster for the flick, and this is what came up first! hahaha.  Two incredible paintings follow. The first, Monet's "Japanese Bridge" and the second Munch's "Scream".   Here's one of the classic scenes from movie history, most disturbing, and most influencial. BEWARE the Andalusian Dog!  Space Ghost rules the universe! Right up there with Speed Racer (who I have no images of...crap)  Here is a drawing of a stapler: Current Mood: intimidatedCurrent Music: Super Mario Bros. theme song (8-bit!) | | 1:48 pm |
Notes From Underground
Film - Notes - 2/27/04 Eric Bruno Exposure Auto - general reading of available light Manual = responsible for setting exposure (f-stop) 1) set ASA/ISO 80...106...132...160 - set right before 106 2) press light meter button in center, after facing light meter towards camera from right in front of the subject. -light meters look like parking meters crossed with bathroom scales "look father time, i learned to rhyme!" i cannot stand anything about you. and yet i love you, you know it's true. if i had my way, i'd toss you away, but since you control me, i guess i'll just have to pay, until the day, that i die, until then, it's just you and i, and i will be unhappy, because i just can't stand the way you treat me. so when you want to tell me that you love me, i will believe you and i'll be sorry, and when i find you've been unfaithful, i'll kill myself and make it painful. snorting coke and injecting heroin, cutting myself deep beneath the skin. til finally the pain will subside, and to you i will no longer abide. i fucking hate you. die. written by Erik Hunter Brunowski in approximately 3 minutes. bitch. ------- Sergei Eisenstein art -> conflict the Kuleshov effect same closeup factor. superimpose these images over a man's face: -bowl of soup -> hungry -dead woman in coffin -> sympathy -young girl playing with ball -> happiness eisenstein became concerned with the spectators response. parallel dialectical materialism -> basis for marxism, basically w/ artistic creation combination of two different types of philosophy: dialectics and materialism. materialism = matter is essence of reality matter creates the mind (marx) art, science, politics, economy-------> material world "let's buy a dictionary and burn it." - matt "that seems like a waste of money" -erik "i got one we can burn" -linds dialectics --> method of reasoning that aims to understand things concretely in all their movement, change & interconnection w/ their opposite & contrary sides in unity. thesis anti-thesis (antithesis) synthesis matt giggles briefly in class. scott: "What? what's so funny? do you want me to like, rip my shirt open?" shot/shot montage. montage as being a collision of independent where the meaning arises in the minds of the audience relationship between shot and montage relationship between montage and audience creative collision of opposites put any two independent shots together and together they create an all-new meaning. relationship between filmmaker and shot. "YELP!" -sam "Who was that?" -scott "Sam!" -everyone "I was poked!" -sam "Who poked you?" -scott "communism" -everyone (?) "communism poked me" -sam "yes, but communism is the embodiment of marxism, so you have to make that distinction." -scott (WHAT!!!) 5 types of montage Metric - based upon absolute length of film strip regardless of what they portray. -proportionate relationship Rhythmic - account visual content of frame. pattern of movement within shot. -used to conflict with metric. Tonal - movement embraced in wider sense. movement embraces all effects of montage. general tone of piece. Overtonal - conflict between metric, rhythmic, tone...parallel overtop of tonal structure. Intellectual - highly charged sequence to create relationship of larger idea. sam pekinpah = good director. -wild bunch -iron cross -straw dogs "Oooh, they sell texas toast here! Next time I shall elect to get my BLT on texas toast and see how weird it is.......WEIRD & DELICIOUS!!!!" -Erik Hunter Brunowski. "I'm pretty sure you were an accident." -Erik to Nevsky Current Mood: curiousCurrent Music: "Three Little Piggies" - Green Jelly |
