Needed a globally accessible place to jot down notes about books, films, music and the such.
Zeven maal over de zeeën te gaan,
schraal in de kleren, wat zou het mij deren,
kon uit de dood ik die éne doen keren,
Zeven maal over de zeeën te gaan -
zeven maal, om met zijn tweeën te staan
Star Wars theme on organ.
Catchy music, soundvibes, "I hear songs that should never end and places I can't comprehend"
Nice mix. 80's classics. Ambient beats. Mac-voices. Throaty techno-voices.
Almost at the end, U.N.K.L.E. and Thom Yorke's "Rabbit in your headlight"... eerie.
Strong rock, punk-ish. The singing sometimes becomes a bit like White Stripes' Jack White during his getting-crazier solo's.
"Birds" has good intro. Is this the single?
Strange music. Beats, samples. Half-trippy, dub. Repeating, almost-changing, repeating lyrics.
Made by two Japanese guys sharing their last names (brothers? father-son? nephews? unrelated?)
Becomes a bit tiresome after a while.
Don't think I've ever seen it, but now, finally. And indeed it's a wonderful piece.
There were pieces of dialogue, rather repetitions of dialogue, I did not find too believable, but, for example, how they all literally turn their back on the angry old guy, is a wonderful piece of performance.
I tried to focus on dialogue and shots, getting a feeling for the rhythm, how they used shots, close-ups, &etc to tell this story, but I must admit I did follow the story thoroughly and this kept me from focussing on the "meta-side" most of the time.
Wonderful film.
100% Eels, as soon as I heard it.
Whether it is this particular moment or whether it holds true in general, but I love the sound of this song. Must look into the album ("Hombre Lobo")
Heard on KinkFM, "2meter live" of 2010-01-07. Compared with Arcade Fire, and, soundwise, rightfully so. The same chaotic sound, bit-falsetto voice.
Interesting

The people have been fighting the lost cause of their lives. People fight when it has no purpose because
Ah! Notes for Poste Restante
Yes, it's over the top. Yes, when I'm serious and harsh I should judge this film not worthy of my time, blabla, &etc &etc.
God curse the critics, hell is being their comrade (sorry Sartre).
Sucker for this kind of film. First, because it's over the top, but (most of it) in a good way. They didn't overdo the slapstick comedy as much as the second part, they did stretch and complexify (is that a verb) the storyline too much, yet at least characters -do- something.
Loved the Ennio Morricone tribute when the East Indian Company and the pirates meet.
How can Barbossa steal Jack Sparrow's "9 pieces of 8"-piece when before it was strongly urged that a pirate Muss Pass It On When He Dies?
The weddingscene; over the top, yet..funny. Shoot me.
Don't blabber on about character arcs. You like sex because you want to climax, be honest and face it. Geez.
"De meeste Franse filosofen, ook al bewonder ik hun denken, zijn vaak heel snorkend rethorisch bezig."
"Er is een beroemde spreuk van Camus die me, hoe naar het ook is, aan het hart ligt. Dat is dat ieder mens in zijn of haar leven maar twee of drie originele ideëen heeft en daar mag je dan blij mee zijn, en dat je hele leven bestaat uit het uitwerken van die ideëen en ik zie dat helaas bij mezelf ook steeds meer gebeuren."
Rousseau: bwonderde de vrouw en belemmerde haar: ze moest zich laten bewonderen, maar wel binnen de vier muren. Vader van de "Loi de l'homme"; maar homme betekende in de Franse Revolutie áltijd "man", nooit "mens"!
Mooi stuk als ze wat muziek opzetten en gewoon door blijven praten. "En wat dus niet in mijn boek naar voren komt...[AANZWELLEND MOZART CONCERT]" met kraak en al. Prachtig. Tussendoor; "Waar je me ook mee verraste, was de vraag.."
Same wonderful craziness. "A pod is waiting", an old man, waiting for time. Echos of loneliness, sadness. and craziness, always the craziness
"Dear John", money-counter, Madness-ish. Residents. Chord-schemes of Babyon circ us?
"Sucker for your sound", with a female voice that reminds you of the Knife or Emiliana Torrini
