The media is like the weather, only it's man-made weather.
—Mickey, Natural Born Killers (1994)
Okay, I guess this is really turning into a regular cool-stuff-posting general blog. Takes a few too many minutes more to write music posts. Also because I haven't been scouring for music lately. Winter break started. I worked a couple full days already at my aunt's restaurant in Berkeley. (Party Sushi, 1776 Shattuck. Come visit me if you're in the area! :) ) Going to make a website for business, and I'm updating the to-go menu.
I'm trying to watch a film every night during winter break.
So far I've watched:
Natural Born Killers (1994), AWESOME 90s film! Director Oliver Stone's over-the-top satire on America media culture, story by Quentin Tarantino.
Lolita (1997), sad story. and Humbert looks older than I had imagined from reading the novel. (edit: oh. He's a 45 year-old professor. Guess I forgot that. I read it 4 years ago.) If you haven't read the novel, I HIGHLY recommend it. Beautiful prose, with (a lot) of archaic English words that if you try to look up each one you don't know, will quickly grow frustrated, written by Vladimir Nabokov, for whom English was his actually his second language.
I really want to delve into more 90s films. Yay for my local Berkeley video store, Elmwood Videots! And my favourite library (not that I've been to a lot), the Claremont Branch of the Berkeley Public Library!
