Moving Pictures

...and this is the end


Ever watched The Rock? If not, you really should. For the action/thriller genre it's really quite fabulous. Funny, witty one-liners carry the engaging story to a perhaps predictable conclusion. But that's what these films are all about - light entertainment, with a pinch of thought-provocation.

"Losers always say about how they did their best... meanwhile the winners go home and fuck the prom queen"

A brilliant line. So yea, the screenshot above is from the film. It should encourage you to watch it 'cause that's a really beautiful piece of cinema...

Anyway. If you want more than just action/trillers, check out I ♥ Huckabees... it's an amazing film. I'll go find a review and post it... 'cause it's well worth watching.



"Yea, ok, I get it. Everything is the same, even though everything is different"

A startling comedy which touches on the subject of existentialism (in particular, existentialism and existential nihilism - philosophers such as Sartre were into this).

The Scotsman

this is the beginning...



Yes... so for no reason whatsoever I have decided to edit a photo of me in Edinburgh and make it look like I'm on TV... I added noise, I made it a barrel lens. Interesting, eh? Nah, didn't think so, though I do like this photo. It seems very classy to me... I Am The Scotsman. Or not.

But in case you wanted to hear some music, then... tough. You have to wait for the next post. Ah well, but it'll be good. Honest.

Only joking of course... there was actually a point to this. Really... look:
