The Thief and the Cobbler :: Film :: Williams :: 1993 :: I just re-discovered this lost classic, and what a wonderful reminiscent trip it was. Each frame was animated by hand with painstaking attention paid to every detail. The style is very distinct, feeling like a mix between modern animations and ancient Persian illustrations. This lends a sort of mature vibe to the whole film, which was...

I get really sick of the endless charades and the endless cycle of emotions, sometimes. Usually a couple times a week, for my health.

Heavy Rain :: Video Game :: Quantic Dream :: 2010 :: Unbelievably complex while at the same time being completely human and nuanced, one can’t help but be immersed in Heavy Rain. Brought to being by the creators of the almost-amazing Indigo Prophecy (worth a playthrough), they have truly shown the power of storytelling through video games. By putting the player in control of the five...

Being Geek Chic: On ambition & being what you do →
beinggeekchic:
My brother, my boyf and I are always having pseudo-intellectual, semi-existential conversations about life, but last night’s conversation hit home in an intense way. We were discussing a big new project I’m working towards (announcement coming soon!) and as such, I was discussing how…

I grow colder with every cold response. I find myself embracing bitterness when once I rejected it. I think some people call this age. I call it decay. These images of me projected by others, I see them and must fight them constantly. These images of me projected by myself, I see them and must fight them constantly. What aspects of me are me? What part of me is not me? Am I not everything that I...

Jeff, Who Lives at Home :: Film :: Duplass :: 2012 :: The Duplass Brothers have created a wonderful thing in this moving and earnest film, which on its surface pretends to be a lighthearted comedy about a slacker and his aggressive brother, but becomes something much deeper and even cosmic. Jeff is obsessed with his destiny, frustrated with being stuck in his life and is constantly on the lookout...

:: ruins He said, you know that feeling you get when you can feel the whole thing coming down around you—that the only thing keeping it up is you struggling inside? Sometimes the best thing to do, in those situations, is to relax. Climb out of it all afterwords.

Are there good ways to die? Can one die with dignity, or can one only live with it? I sometimes daydream myself into horrible scenarios where I’m killed or mutilated in some extravagant way. Oh yes, this is how free time is meant to be spent! Make light of death and what is left to fear?

Dead End :: Film :: Wyler :: 1937 :: This film is more of a stylized melodrama about wealth inequality on the whole, but the entire project is elevated by Humphrey Bogart’s bravura performance. He creates a tragically menacing figure as the character of Baby Face Martin, tragic in that you can see his rough childhood on his now menacing visage. On the run from the law and bitter from the...
