In the spirit of Halloween, maybe, Elsa Lancaster’s Bride of Frankenstein has been rolling about my brain lately.
In other news, a theatre near where I live is going to show Nosferatu in 3-D. ??? I CANNOT EVEN COMPREHEND THIS. A black and white silent film in 3-D? This is either totally wrong or strangely fabulous.
Okay, I haven’t been on tumblr in ages, and promoting TV shows is generally not in the hip indie cool range, but whatever. I love this show, and it has so much potential. Not every episode of early Buffy was great either, but I’m so glad it lived as long as it did. Dollhouse really needs more time to survive and truly show its greatness, more than it already has.
DOLLHOUSE IS IN REAL DANGER OF BEING PULLED OFF THE AIR. Before this season is even complete, before they even finish filming this season of episodes. I don’t want to see this show cut-off like that. I know the people can only do so much, but word-of-mouth can help. So can watching on hulu, or buying on iTunes, or for god’s sake, if you have a Nielson box, WATCH LIVE. DVR is good too.
Read how to help, above. And read about how likely it is the show will go, here:
However, she was not dead, but had only fallen into a deep sleep
Everyone should be watching the TV show Dollhouse. It’s a fascinating look at the complexities that make up our identities. What makes us who we are?
Next week’s episode, “Briar Rose,” is directly connected to the original Grimm tale.
Give this smart series a chance, and help it survive. Link to the 6th episode, and the furthest back that can be watched on hulu right now, above. Man on the Street. Watch the episodes, catch up, support quality, intelligent TV.
Throughout the day a new line of the poem appears… the poem changes based on it being summer or winter. A crazy look at using different media to show text, and to create a different relationship between the reader and the text.
The best description of this movie was given to me by an academic: “when I left the theatre I wanted to hit my head against the wall because they were just so beautiful.”
Anyways, watch this movie for the clothes, colour, and lighting — then there is the story.
I always toggle between In The Mood For Love and Happy Together, I can’t decide which I like more. But sartorially at least, this one takes the cake. The soundtrack is great, too.
(Unrelated: How did it take me so long to follow you back?!)
I adore this movie— it is definitely one of my all time favorites. 2046 holds a place in my heart too, even though the feel is very different.
“I shall greatly be humiliated if you do like it, and thereby lump it, in your affection, with things, of the current age, that I have heard you express admiration for and that I would sooner descend to a dishonoured grave than have written.”
Zing!
Reblogged for Camie who, I think, will appreciate this quote. xD
Dance. I miss watching dance, I miss simply enjoying seeing how unexpected and amazing the human body in motion can be.
Someone passed this along to me and I thought it was really lovely and interesting. There are many other sections of the complete dance performance, such as this link which seems to have most of it:
I can’t help but see the irony in the fact that (grading paper after paper, late into the night, for multiple nights, on a deadline, causing me a great amount of stress) the the papers my students have written are, in essence, papers about why people work too long and hard and do not get enough leisure time in their life.
After reading a few dozen badly worded statements about the necessity of leisure time in the middle of the night when I really want to go to sleep instead of grading papers, I want to scream: I GET IT.
If only you would comply, life.
(This is, of course, followed on the heels of a dental appointment with an oral surgeon that ended with: “Good news! You don’t need a root canal! You’re just carrying your stress in your mouth and jaw— de-stress your life and the pain will go away!” BETTER SAID THAN DONE, SPARKY.
