Snowpiercer (2013)

In a world frozen over because mankind thought it could fix global warning, one train plows on and on. The tail, the foot, is dirty, dark, the head, light, happy.... Riots ensue.

Yes, its premise reminded me of that other film and yes it is just as amazing and perhaps better (I do have to see the other one again.) Amazing film, amazing story. This is why magic realism is so fucking brilliant.

the Decemberists - "What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World"

Poppy. Ok.

• Philomena: "all I lived for in this world / was to see a naked girl / but I got quickly bored..."
• Carolina Low - more subdued
• Easy Come, Easy Go - a bit Western style

Creature With the Atom Brain - "Transylvania"

Bit post-rock ish. Reminded me of Mogwai, though a lot more poppy than them and less soundscapey.

Midnight in Paris

Typical Woody Allen film where the scene and the feeling of the moments is more important than the actual characters. It is quite enjoyable, basically a big name dropping of famous writers and people in Paris, and the time travel does lend it a nice magic feeling. Nothing special and it seems a bit repetitive at some point though.

Black Mirror

Amazing mini series of a world with slightly more advanced technology, perfectly showing the creepiness of already existing technology.

Must watch. For everybody.
