Interstella.r.

This post was due in December already, It is not much. But here is what I had to say back then:

Interstellar: mindblowing.
Christopher Nolan has done it again. He is the boss.
Wormhole 1st perspective: a nano second of Donnie Darko.
Wormhole 2nd perspective: rewind. retro. silent numbness.
musical arrangement: pure deliciousness. a heavy sweetness to die for. Hans Zimmer should never cease to exist!
time travel/theory of relativity: life is too short. It's as simple as that. There is eternity in our hearts.
humanity: in full ignorance of self induced deterioration. always wants new, never ever changes oneself, just the surroundings. stupidity beyond compare.
Matt Damon: I still hate him. The degree of hate cannot be measured. He is always that kind of ..argh!!

I strongly reccommend to listen to this.

New things get old.

I had a craving for finally watching Take This Waltz. It was torturing.

She loves her husband, but sometimes feels pushed away, although he ever so gently does exactly that. He is a kind and loving guy; simple, too. It doesn't take much to make him happy, baby talk for example or chicken or someone who loves his ever so gently prepared chicken.

She meets the obvious perfect match on a trip elsewhere, and by coincidence he turns out to be her neighbor. Is it fate? I doubt it, but for the sake of the story it's totally logical for him to live accross the street. While she is already happily married for five years and is accepted in her husbands family, she is playing with fire by accidentally running into her ..., well, what is he - she didn't want to name or title him either her "lover" or "confidant" - so just her "neighbor".  She doesn't dare to cheat on her beloved husband, nor can she not linger on the thought of being with the NEW. He is charismatic, creative, unwillingly a modern-hobo. I love watching him watching her. His look is truly full of a longing for her, yes, even love.

Some might call the pacing of the movie strenuous, however, I am delighted to have details and moments shown with a feeling, and feeling takes time, it requires time to develop it on screen, the information flow has to have time in order to reach the recipient, the viewer, so the so-called strenuously paced plot deserves the 2-hours or so on-screen-time. Although there is a perfect moment in the movie where I would have just stopped. It is when she and her "neighbor" spent a day together and end up in a disco-carousel (Scrambler) indulging in gravity and Video Killed the Radio Star, exchanging looks, closing eyes, enjoying. nothing. However, it continues showing how she really leaves her loving husband for the NEW. and the NEW gets old, too. I am grateful, that at least this message was conveyed at the end.

I also loved watching Take This Waltz for the sake of the setting, Toronto, Canada during a real long hot summer. Everything seemed warm and colorful, not too bright, but with a constant glow.

Coming back to the beginning. It was torturing watching her being torn, but never seduced by the NEW (! - he is pleasantly passive), she was indecisive with her inner self and gave in to her selfish desire to want something NEW. painful, truly painful. and wrong. She loves the old, has a fling for the NEW. Her life changed for a bit, but the same old structures returned, even with the NEW. New things get old.

Another last thing. The movie considered her being afraid of being afraid, the hate of being inbetween things, like airport connections. I liked how this early statement was confirmed during the story of her being inbetween emotions.

starring Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Luke Kirby, Sarah Silverman

Celestial.

I bet everyone had a situation he wished not to have said something. I have plenty of situations where I wish to just be able to say what I feel. What could be a cause of not doing so? Timidity? Fear of the other person's reaction? Maybe not being able to define what you actually feel.

Celeste + Jesse Forever is a movie about a married couple who are best friends. You start seeing a series of pictures how they got to know each other, they seem happy and extremly goofy. As the movie progresses you realize, that they already broke up. Whoa. Didn't seem like it. Jesse obviously still wants to be with her, Celeste refuses him.
Now he found out he is going to be a father and wants to get serious with the new girl, she is devastated. The music turns mute, we see her not excessively weeping, but dull and numb, full of pressure, not knowing how to feel when feeling every kind of emotion there exists. She wants to have him, he is her best friend, she knows him, he knows her. Now he is committed to someone else. And she cannot bear it. She breaks.
She couldn't express what she feels before all of this, if she did, they still would be not just best friends, but a couple and best friends. She denied her feelings in the beginning. If she would just have said what she wanted to, ..but well she obviously didn't. what does it matter now?!
A painfully real setting. I enjoyed watching it. could identify with her.

when is the right time to admit you like someone? probably when you are certain about what you feel. is it ok for a female to reveal her feelings first? In general, I am convinced that speaking openly is better than giving indications that have to be interpreted first. bad idea.

bad idea.

Viele Titel.

Ich schaue Filme selten im Kino. Leider.

..viel zu viele und doch sind es sogar noch mehr.

Martyr.

self-destructive. numb. anomie. 
white stripes.
I LOVE IT. 
or since numbness is rather a condition than a feeling, I should say I AM VERY AWARE.

A martyr for my love for you.

Also I love Disturbed's Stupify in this connection.

Like Crazy.

two days in a row Like Crazy.
independent, low-budget, real life based movie.
improvised, given only with a story, Anton Yelchin* and Felicity Jones portrayed a wonderfully realistic couple.
first love, being apart, long distance relationship.
being euphorically in love, being in tremendous pain without the other, growing apart.
commence a life together after years of starting and stopping over and over again.
affection didn't end, passion, however, passed.

Like Crazy was shot with a Canon 7D. I assume due to that and obviously the improv the natural looks resulted.
I didn't perceive too much conversation, it wasn't annoying, it was beautiful, yet painful to watch. I love the scene in the tram, sitting opposite to each other, him leaving and exchanging looks of so many kinds of sentiments.

I think the gist of this movie would be that if you loved a person once, it is very hard to let go, therefore I would conclude it to be right to commit oneself to just one person. I am very glad that I didn't react too emotional when watching. Finally I got this neutral, yet awesome feeling of not being in love, not care too less or too much, not depending on people's opinions anymore. quite fulfilling. I think I should keep it.

*I like to detect the Russian origin and manner in facial expressions.

Ultimate.

ultimate [the best achievable or imaginable of its kind].

Gogol Bordello express it that way:

There was never any good old days 

They are today, they are tomorrow 

It's a stupid thing we say 

Cursing tomorrow with sorrow 

The ultimate thing is to look ahead. 

have a postive, but realistic outlook. hopes, that aren't far-fetched. no self-defeating desires and expectations, rather healthy ones. 

Steppin' on the trail of ultimate 

I would never choose to die 

Give me the rest of all the secrets 

Give me new culture of life 

YES! 

there lies a lot of truth in this remark. similar to the way of life the Bible recommends and promises. 

It's a deal! Put it there. I'm in. 

Gogol Bordello's bandleader is Ukrainian by the way. 

He sings Russian and English. and he starred together with Elijah Wood in Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is Illuminated. 

The movie was different. interesting. memorable. 

I like the Russian and English intermingling. 

I didn't like that a lot of it wasn't actually shot in Ukraine,

 but the Czech Republic. Their roads are too plane, not potholed enough. 

and some actresses just tried to speak Russian. 

Foer's book was quite slow-paced. 

The whole introduction is over several pages long and 
tells about the old village and Jewish customs and so-called funny stories. 

Maybe I just didn't get it, since I am an average stupid person. 

If you know Everything is Illuminated you almost immediately 

get Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. There a lot of similarites and 

Foer's style and some clichées are all too obvious.

Both main characters (Elijah Wood, Thomas Horn) are sort of autistic or peculiarly idiosyncratic (finally I used that word, I got it in my mind for such a long time and just wanted to write it. fair enough! yes! fair enough is another thing I say way too less and often unnaturally).

Wood is on a journey to familiarize himself with his dead Grandfather's origin and what happened to Augustina, the girl on the picture. He collects just ANYTHING in a plastic bag, orders and pins it.

Link

Horn is also on a journey to find out what his father's key is for. 

Both just want to be with their dead ancestors/family, be close, remember and occupy themselves with them. the characters are visibly and invisibly Jewish as Foer himself. it's fun.

No time, no leisure, no want to analyze it in more detail.

Fact is, I enjoyed both movies. Several times.

Link  Eugene Hütz, the bandleader, was amazingly funny. I love accents. I love the Indian and Russian accent when speaking English.. some may know already how obsessive I can be about that.

Krims.

Krams.

In einem Zustand von innerlicher Qual der mich 

umgebenden Ungerechtigkeit greife ich wie schon 

so oft auf das Lied The Only von Static X 
und Aim4 von Flint zurück. 

Nach einem Gespräch zu der höchsten Persönlichkeit 

im Universum voller starker Herzschlägen und kontinuierlicher Unruhe, 

bringt dieses Lied seeehr laut gehört zumindest Takt in meine Nervosität. 

Ich sage hiermit, dass keine Ungerechtigkeit, 

keine Lügen und keine Person mich zerschmettern kann  

das Recht hat mich von meiner geliebten Fahrradspur abzubringen.

Trockenshampoo funktioniert wirklich.

Auch kleine Dinge können mich wenigstens 

noch bis zur völligen Euphorie überraschen.

Moby hör ich wieder mehr. Silverbullit. Justice. Digitalism. MGMT. 

Elektro allgemein. Auch deutschen. Mediengruppe Telekommander,
altbekannte Deichkind irgendwie nicht. 

Dennoch bleiben meine all-time favorites Nine Inch Nails,

Unkle und White Stripes oben auf der Liste.

und FluxFM spielt viel gefallende Musik.

Morley.

I don't make sense without you.

Sound 'n' Spidey.

Was habe ich gestern gemacht? 14 Stunden nicht zu Hause und joa. 
Dinge sind geschehen. Gespräche haben stattgefunden. 
Und mir fällt auf wie ich so gar nicht das Präteritum korrekt anwende. 
Das wird sich ändern. Von nun an.

Jedenfalls war es gestrige Spontanidee The Amazing Spiderman zu schauen.

 20:15h Karten holen, die Dame entgegnet der Film beginne erst gegen 21:00h, wegen vorläufigen Vorprogrammes. 

Wir - ab nach überall, Zeugs gekauft. 

Gegen 21h am Kinosaal, Film läuft längst. 

Zur Pause drehe ich mich zu den anderen Kinobesuchern um, frage wie lange der Film denn schon gelaufen sei als wir kamen. 20 Minuten. Sauber. 

The Ten.

The movies I mention aren't released this month, but caught my attention somehow and I want to relieve myself from the burden of having them constantly on my mind, so I write.

Links: The Ten in May, the undeveloped Ten as a long list.

 Safety not Guaranteed

I am anticipating this movie so badly. It deals with time traveling. I think I'm not obliged to add any more to that :)

And I suppose you know Nick from New Girl? He's palying the main character here. So, woop-di-doo, awesome!

Everybody lies.

Well, well , well, good old Dr. Gregory House, we love him, we hate him, but mostly we love him.. or, wait, do we? Do I?

The 177th episode, the 8th season's finale, the show's finale aired Monday, the 21st May.

House's commonly used phrase "Everybody lies!" is made into "Everybody dies!", the last episode's name.

Kategorien.

Hallo meine lieben Liebenden (? - ich habe zu viel Wochenshow in meiner Kindheit geschaut),

sowas tolles gibt's nur im Video. not. 

heute beglücke ich euch (tue ich das wirklich oder ist es vielleicht reine Zeitverschwendung?)

mit einem weiteren nervigen und sinnlosen Video aus dem Hause lizazano productions

(warum habe ich so viele Nebenbemerkungen in Klammern hinzuzufügen?

(warum frage ich mich das und tue es schon wieder?)).

How awesome was the Video Game Community Episode?!!!


SUPER DUPER ULTRA WHATSOEVER AWESOME!!


YIIIHAA!


All the little Abeds, the large Army of "cool-cool-cool"-saying Abeds! Awwwww, I loved it!

ein blabla video.

Einen wunderschönen Abend wünsche ich und leite hiermit meinen hiesigen Post ein, 
folgend ein Link zu einem Video auf YouTube von mir, ein wenig peinlich, peinlich, aber warum bringt es nur so viel Freude zu reden, so viel blabla?! 


Ist die Redeseligkeit eine Frauenschwäche? 
Was bewirkt das Stillen des Mitteilungsbedürfnisses? 
Wodurch kommt dieses ausgeartete Bedürfnis auf? 
Tatsache ist übrigens, dass dieser Blog nur durch den Drang sich mitzuteilen entstand (siehe meine "Blogvorstellung").

Was war meine ursprüngliche Intention dieses Posts? Ach ja, das Video (*Video wurde entfernt.*). 


Es ist eine Auflistung von fünf Romanzen, romantischen Komödien oder chick-flicks. 

The Ten. May.

As usual I present my monthly The Ten movie list. The movies I mention aren't released this month, but caught my attention somehow and I want to relieve myself from the burden of having them constantly on my mind, so I write.

TOP 5:


Cosmopolis
A very appealing movie. As some may know I dig movies which take place in a very short period of time (wrote about it at the end of Rear Window) - Cosmopolis displays one night in one limo in a dystopian Manhattan.
However, definitely not a movie to watch due to immoral happenings already shown in the trailer.






...

MTFBWY!

May The Force Be With You!

I just watched The Simpsons (S23 E18) and thought it was really funny, but of course as I am not that educated in Internet language I was happy to learn that FIY means "For your Information". Plus, Homer is obsessed with the rip-off of LOST! Awesome! Well that's that.

This week's How I Met Your Mother's episode (S7 E21) made me laugh as well. Ted spilled hot soup on his being-alone-home-naked body and his facial expression was just hilarious and making me laugh so hard.

2 Broke Girls' episode (E 21), especially the scene in the tax office, was amusing, too.

Rear Window.

On my vacation I took time to watch Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. 


Some weeks ago I added this title to my imdb watchlist, but didn't put it forth for consideration or so. However, when prettymuchit mentioned a Rear Window stichted into one scene clip, which was already great without seeing the actual movie, I was moved to finally watch the whole thing.


I liked that one was immediately involved in the situation. 

Jeff is a photographer who broke his leg and spends the whole time at home looking out of his window and observing people. There are three more characters on his side of the window. 


On the other side of the building complex there are six different families. 
A wealthy songwriter who seems to have a lot of friends, but wants an emotional partner; a couple living upstairs who sleep on the balcone and whose dog is getting his walk by being led down in a basket; newlyweds who enjoy their first alone time behind shut windows; a beautiful ballet dancer who isn't that superficial as one may guess; a lonely woman downstairs, who is maybe a little psychotic as she cooks a meal and gets ready for a date but noone comes and she pretends as someone was there; and finally a caring husband and a sick wife lying in bed but tormenting obviously the husband by harsh words.
One day the woman is missing and it seems as if the husband killed her.


The entire movie is shot "out of the window" of Jeff's apartment! I like this perspective.


There are other movies where the main place of happenings is just one place. I remember Panic Room, the whole movie is set in the house and eventually the backyard, and the quite new movie Carnage which I haven't seen yet but which intrigues me because it is shot basically just in the living room.


I enjoyed Rear Window because it is in a way "clean" and differs from all new thrillers and keeps my attention for quite a while.

Dumbo.

I got a partially amazing offer.

I admitted to a friend how much I love all the Asterix & Obelix cartoons. Secondly, I said that I never watched Dumbo and refuse entirely to do so. He then offered to lend me the seven Asterix & Obelix cartoons out of his collection for a while, but I would be forced to watch Dumbo.

Hm.

Would that pain be worth it?? Could I possibly decline my oldest favorite childhood cartoon movie, but be under compulsion to watch something which just by looking at the cover annoys me? I doubt it! 

It's a deal!!

Rome.

I was never fond of Italy.

However, if there would be a special someone who wants to show me awesome places, I would join that person for sure.

In To Rome with Love, a new movie by Woody Allen, I perhaps will grow in appreciation for that city also without someone tour-guiding me.

Defintitely a movie to watch .. especially after Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris.

As concerns Woody Allen's movies I didn't mention in my reviews and I didn't watch yet..
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger sounds and looks stupid to me, I'll watch most likely Scoop, but don't know yet what's about Cassandra's Dream.
