joining forces with superman: the devil's backbone (2001): ghost story with soul
http://hyphen-happy.blogspot.com/2011/10/devils-backbone-2001-ghost-story-with.html
The devil's backbone (2001): ghost story with soul. Guillermo Del Toro is undoubtedly one of my favourites in the film world- if Wong Kar-Wai appeals to me through his nostalgic romanticism (and HK of some time ago-the HK I wish to remember), then Del Toro appeals to me through his cinematic (and literary) exploration of imagination alongside reality (or reality alongside imagination), fantasy, and horror. El Espinazo del Diablo. A kind of predecessor to his later-on big hit, Pan's Labyrinth.

joining forces with superman: kung-fu hustle (2004): cantonese in shanghai?!
http://hyphen-happy.blogspot.com/2010/12/kung-fu-hustle-2004-cantonese-in.html
Kung-fu hustle (2004): cantonese in shanghai? As anyone who has been in mainland China knows, no one north of Guangzhou understands Cantonese and most of the general Chinese population pretty much perceives it as no more than a dialect. But I digress, language hi-jinks aside: it was all in good, martial-arty, screaming your guts out fun. I enjoyed how no one in this movie was a particularly sympathetic character and were all flawed to an extent of almost-obnoxiousness. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

joining forces with superman: rocco e i suoi fratelli (1960): a milkshake of melodrama

Rocco e i suoi fratelli (1960): a milkshake of melodrama. I'm back to blogspot after a summer and a third of fall's worth of abandonment. Was originally going to post my 1/4-review-3/4-screencaps-thing onto my livejournal but it got so out of hand with my other updates that I decided that it was time to return to 'joining forces with superman.' Not that anyone knows this exists lol! Finally watched Luschino Visconti's Rocco e i suoi fratell. In which I recall him being blonde, beautiful, and anemic.

Translation: french is for suckas! May 24, 2008. Thank You Letters $ 8. Housing License Repeal $5520. The memory of swimming in pools of my own vomit, reminiscing whether or not I would die there in that hospital waiting for my roommate to pick me up and take me home. The throbbing aftermath confronted with a 24- hour hang over, counseling, essays, meetings, and millions of alcohol pamphlets all concealed with a curtain of smiles and the belief that I am okay.

Cole Valley | soon you'll understand
https://austinokane.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/cole-valley
Soon you’ll understand. Hi, I’m Austin. May 11, 2009. For our last ESF trip we travelled to Cole Valley to go to Zazie. We also got a side of the mac and cheese (which was one of the best things I have ever put into my mouth, I think Sam only had 2 bites). Needless to say, we ate it all. Came out in theaters in 2001. But its the epitome of capitalism, of America. Every other corporation exploits and manipulates people just like McDonald’s does, so what’s the big deal? I took this picture of the sprinkler...

joining forces with superman: REDLINE (2010): SONIC BOOOOOM
http://hyphen-happy.blogspot.com/2010/10/redline-2010-sonic-booooom.html
REDLINE (2010): SONIC BOOOOOM. This is hella bamf shit! Pretty much sums up the entirety of this AMAZING SPECTACLE OF VISUAL EYE-WONDER OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. And it's pretty much impossible to NOT write about this film without utilizing PERMANENT CAPS-LOCK KEY, abusing the shift 1 key over and over, and lack of grammatical structure! Takes SPACE RACING to an entirely different DIMENSION of speed and utter anarchy! Universe of Roboworld: biological weapon called FUNKY BOY, which is on another platform of o...

joining forces with superman: le petit soldat (1963): quotable quotes
http://hyphen-happy.blogspot.com/2010/12/le-petit-soldat-1963-quotable-quotes.html
Le petit soldat (1963): quotable quotes. Le Petit Soldat has the famous popular quote: "Photography is truth.and cinema is truth 24 times a second" but I was more taken with character Forestier's monologue post-torture scene, beginning with:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 22 intended to be a more comprehensive, organized place for insights and thoughts on: films, music, travels, the occasional slip of comedic intervention, and maybe half-interesting quibbles of real life. Oh, hello there.
