Dead Leaves...

This is the trippiest film i have ever seen in my entire life. Despite being undoubtedly sober when first watching it, by the end, i actually started questioning whether i had taken some form of narcotics because it just made no fucking sense. I cannot fully express how awesome it actually is. I never thought there would be a human being on this planet that could conjure up such farcical, west things like a dude with a drill as a dick, crazy robot pregnancy-inducing sex, mixed with a shit load of guns, gore and big fucking explosions, and actually managing to pull it off. Surprising how i actually get my ha-has out of this kind of thing. I recommend seeing it for yourself...

oh yeah, and it's got one sick soundtrack...

this is some funky shiznay...

After just looking over some of Mr. Mahfoods recent stoof, i clicked on this totally west link and my face automatically smiled, this is some funky shiznay...check it out for yourself!

Midori Goto...

I have always been a fan of classical music. Just recently i have had a sincere craving to try something new, to learn something new i wouldn't have even thought of trying, and i've just been looming over the idea of practicing the violin. A strange choice i know, especially out of the blue. Over the years i've just had a really keen likeness towards the instrument and seen many prodigies and proteges who look so expressive when they play it. They look magnificently infused by their own playing. 


One of my good friends recommended a certain entrepeneur of the classical instrument called Midori Goto. The mastery of the violin she possesses is under no doubt extraordinary. Some of the scores she has learned and adopted are almost beyond physical levels of ability. It has been recorded that Ravel, a famous composer, who wrote the score Tzigane, expressed doubts as to whether certain passages were actually playable within his own  piece. At the age of just 19, Midori performed at Carnegie Hall and perfectly played Tzigane that is tearfully beautiful, not a note is missed. 

She is quite an inspiration to start learning myself but i think we'll see...

Here she is at her best...

Disney Pixars UP...

Last night for the first time in years, i decided to actually do something to fill my night with joy and went to the local cinema. UP was the only majorly appealing movie that was screening. 

In comparison to Pixars past animated feature-lengths that i have seen, UP was quite an impeccable triumph. It was unbelievably wholesome and uplifting but also carried a mature feel of childish ingenuousness that was warming to the heart. There was a deep connection with each personality of the characters. The sense of adventure progressed beautifully. I found it unorthodox of Pixar as the story proceeded so quickly, there were so many turning points and changeovers, it was incredulously enveloping. As soon as one thing happened i couldn't wait to see the next. Without a doubt the animation was undeniably top-notch as always and really complemented the purity of the film. At times i was actually in stitches, Pixar has definitely up-ped (pardon the pun) the scale of infantile comedy, the humour was simple yet just perfectly convivial. I am contemplating a second watch and i would most definitely recommend anyone else to come with me.

never thought i'd see the day...

with all this contextual studies mumbo-jumbo looming over my head...i decided to weep my way into a lost attempt of post-modernistic discovery online...my smile fluttered when clicking through link-after-link of Japanese blog bon mots and miraculously finding this...need i say more...i am happy!
