I ♥ Huckabees
Well I just saw one of the most amazing films of the year that I must talk about. Through the Arts Array series at the Cinemall, I just saw I ♥ Huckabees. It was AMAZING! I love movies that are able to be funny yet intellectual and deep at the same time. That's something that's slightly hard to accomplish on fil I presume. And to add to it, the film had vey beautiful cinemaphotography. The pale, pastel colors, white and black, it all made for a remakable sight. This is the kind of movie I love. I'll add it to my list of recent great movies (in no particular order):
1) Garden State
2) Finding Neverland
3) I ♥ Huckabees
I know that there are more, and maybe they'll come to me later. But ah well....
The music for this movie was perfectly chosen too. Like Garden State. I must obtain the sound track ASAP. There's an excuse to go to Barnes & Nobel....
Well today was the first day of auditions for The Baltimore Waltz that didn't happen. We had two people scheduled to audition today, but come to find out that neither had prepared peices for audition. Luckily, we're having a second audition date on Thursday, so we'll just add them to it. I'm very excited about this production and really can't wait to dive in. I'm already skimming the surface with pre-production goodness. Mostly business stuff, set design, the initial idea. I've settled on going film noir/dectective mystery. Our website is now up http://www.thebaltimorewaltz.7p.com and I encorage all to visit it. AND COME SEE THE SHOW! SUPPORT THE ARTS! May 10th and 11th. Reserve tickets through Barter (628-3991), but they're not on sale yet. Stay tuned for sale date!
Now I sit here writing and listening to Act Two from Jerry Springer the Opera, which I must give highest honors to. I love this show! Just the idea of turning that white trash t.v. show into an opera, something associated with the rich, intelligent, upper-classes (although it doesn't have to be) makes me smile. And I cannot stop laughing from hearing Satan and Jesus' argument through an exceptional aria. "TALK TO THE STIGMATA!" "RAPED BY AN ANGEL, RAPED BY GOD! (referring to Mary)" Some might say that this show crosses boundaries and is unsuitable. But one must remember that's it's not to be taken seriously. It may present ideas and thoughts, but it's up to you, the audience, to decipher and make your own thoughts and ideas based on what is presented to you. Some people get so angry and offended from watching plays, but that proves that we've accoplished our goal. We've gotten people to start thinking. This only applies when a person has seen a show first. If they haven't seen a show, and start their outcries beforehand, I must say that that's called ignorance.
We'll I'll go now and play on the internet a bit before I must retire. I cannot stop thinking about Fordham now and how bad I want to get into that school! I love it. I have to be there, I need to be there. I felt a connection upon entering that amazing school and I must sustain it! So wish me luck, and I need your prayers...or meditations. Whatever it is that you, the reader, do. So good night.
