Just started this memoire of one of Picasso’s lovers called Loving Picasso, quite interesting, starts when she is quite young and discovering the highs and lows of love, raw and intriguing…
…a movie in a movie theatre. Drawn in by free popcorn thursday i attended Pans Labrynith, free popcorn and the good review on this thread, thanks im lisa, it turned out to be a really cool time, popcorn was small but tasty and the film was a fairy tale for adults, i found myself swept up in the whole deal and rooting for the good characters and against the bad, at the climax i was moved and the subtitles didn’t discourage me one bit. Great acting by the girl in the lead, she should have gotten more praise…
…I also just watched Munich, it was about the fallout of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacare and showed how evil killing is in any way shape or form and how it solves nothing, or something like that but it was told in an interesting way and wasn’t too long as i feared being over 2 and a hlaf hours, Speilberg is usually good for quality and if you did political covert operational spy intrige films it probably is a good time…
…I also jsut watched Flashback, a hippie protester resurfacing film starringh Dennis Hopper as the merry prankster type and Keifer Sutherland as his fbi escort taking him to jail, a good time with many welcome and fun twists and turns, life is good on the edge i guess…
words that shouldn’t be used have no place
please refrain usage only adds to malice
made possible by the pulse created in any intention
instead speak of marshmallows and flowers if you must.Valentines day brings out my inner fears
first i see a memory and next a vision
verses one and the other i’ll take a moment
to myself wrapped in the delicious candy that saves the day.…Manhattan and Employee of the Month. Manhattan was good, if you like Woddy Allen and i do so i enjoyed the talkiness and the offbeat ontarget approach to disceting relationships and attraction and the ins and outs of each, common themes for Woody and the world. Employee of the Month seemed to set out to prove that a bad film is still a bad film despite twist after twist no matter how unexpected they may be after a while they become tiresome and save nothing but then a cool ending meaning the very last second sometimes saves all but i don’t think that happened here even if part of me was satisfied with the hour and a half of viewing i still think it was a bad film overall…
oh i dig Jay and Silent Bob but still haven’t scene Clearks 2 and have heard nothing but bad things but i bet if you dig the bulk of their films it is fun in some way and i still look forward to seeing it.
…I just read two autobiographical Louis Armstrong books, first Satchamo, my life in New Orleans, tells the tail of Louis’ early life growing up poor as dirt in the south, it was well written and not like a polished auto-biogrphy written with help from a accomplished author, this book was belted out by the man with his own two hands, thus it is a bit rough around the edges but makes for a more real expierence. Next was Louis Armstrong, In his own words, which was a collection of his writing from essays to letters to magizene articles to proposed chapters to a sequel to Satchamo, the only issue i had with the two books was that he contridicts himself in some of his stories for instance how he got his first cornet, in Satchmo it was at reform school, and then in his own words he speaks of getting it from his bosses he delivered coal for and even saving money for it in another story, beyond that this writing is so powerful in it’s simplicity and passion much like his music…
…currently i am reading Lord Chesterfield’s letters to his son, it is a collection of letters from Lord Chesterfield to his illigiamate son, circa 1700’s and they are packed with advice from how to behave around royality to how to woo women, interesting stuff…
