"I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared-for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone." - Mother Theresa

"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." --Stanley Kubrick

Citizen K : The Deeply Weird American Journey of Brett Kimberlin
by Mark Singer

I work with a guy who knew Brett Kimberlin, and he's making me read this so he can tell me what HE knows about this story. He says.  (Kimberlin is the guy who says he used to sell pot to Dan Quayle way back when; the book is written by a reporter from The New Yorker who tried to break the story back in the 1980s, with only partial success.).  It's not my usual fare, but it IS fairly entertaining.

Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

The joke isn't funny, but it's all yours if you want to say it.
"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Read that for my dissertation on Night of the Living Dead. Talk about fun research... Though don't you think it gets a bit creepy after a while, 'cause he never plays it as a joke? I know I did.

I am now currently juggling several books (for fun and research):

Douglas Coupland - Life After God
Glen Duncan - I, Lucifer
Albert Camus - The Outsider
A.W.Yrjänä - Somnia
Hyvässä indie-elokuvassa tulee olla zombi, moottorisaha ja ninjoja.
