Finally, a
well-deserved time of peace and quiet. The one flourishing Oasis in an endless,
burning sea of sand (and textbooks, projects, yadda-yadda-yadda…)!
SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!
I plan on
(and so far, have) spending as much time as I can smothering my senses in all
things film. I have 29 cinematic delights (from classic Hollywood, Noir, and
French Cinema to French/Czech New Wave, Neo-Noir, and current box-office spectacles)
So far I have enjoyed my couch potato-ing. I have watched so many inspirational
films. My favorite of the French New Wave bunch has been Jaques Demy’s Lola. I do not want to say any more
than, “You MUST watch this film!!!” Many of these gems have ruined my interest
in modern film. I am so bored with 98% digital effects, lens flairs, shaky cam
(Hold the d@$& camera straight, you are being paid thousands of
dollars!!!), and a slew of other techniques that are becoming the staple in
today’s films. I am watching movies that are 40+ years old and they put most
current films to shame. I do not want to go on a rant, so I won’t.
I have loved
the time off, and my wife and I are writing scripts, filming movies, and
expanding our mental library of movie quotes and trivia. I am trying to do a
bit of schoolwork, as well, but luckily I have caught up with everything, so
not much is to be done. I am, unfortunately, not looking forward to returning
to school. I am graduating this semester, so I am looking forward to returning
to the workforce, and being done with petty assignments. PEACE!!!
