While Im in the mood

To futher the talk about Indie films and Foreign films... a good second is Spanish. They do things just as good as the french but with completely different subject matter. A beautiful/hilarious/fucked up Spanish film that you have to watch is Y tu mama tambien (and your mother too). Its one of those instant classics... and u don't even realize you're reading subtitles (always a plus). Just for Perks, Gael Garcia Bernal is a perfect person to have to watch, if u must watch a movie in a foreign language ;)

other badass Spanish (-ish) films

Like water for chocolate

Amores Perros

The Science of Sleep

El Orfanato (The Orphanage)

Stop Sleeping

So, what attracted me to studying film was my affinity for beautiful subjects and stories told in great ways shot at great angles. The people who do it best are the French. Not in a pervy way...okay maybe a little... but the french tell stories in ways that can do nothing but amuse an American mind.... If there's on french film that you have to see (its okay, most of it is in English) then it should be the Dreamers

WHY??? you ask.

for one sole reason. Louis Garrel! Not only is he beautiful but any role he plays, he plays it in a way that is purely effortless and captivating. Get behind foreign cinema people

its amazing...

More films with good old Louis in them...

Chansons D'Amour (Love Songs)

Les Amants Reguliers (The Regular Lovers)

Fingers Crossed

So me and my home slice Jess are planning the ILLEST trip ever for around new years. And anyone i tell this to is like "Oh really where? Miami? Panama?" and I'm like "No Nigga, Toronto!" and then comes the ignorant ass statement of the century "Toronto?!?!? Why would u go there? There's nothing to do." I swear I hate people sometimes. They just say dumb shit without even thinking... Im pretty sure. Needless to say, The drinking age is 19 (woot woot), Marijuana is basically legal in Vancouver, they have the Carabana, and there are no dumb ass Americans there. What's not to love about that. Its gonna be cold as balls though, but it don't even matter. There's nothing like a 16 hour road trip to keep the blood warm :/

Not so much of a hot mess

I was so ready to talk a lot of shit about Lil Wayne's ex wife and T.I.s present day wife... but I can't. Call me what you like but I love the show. These girls got issues but i'm glad its showing the issues instead of showing them reaping the benefits of what their men have given them.

Respect the man

Fuck with it

2 things...

First off I'd like to retract that JayZ punked Chris Brown... Another article says that JayZ gave a statement that he did no such thing... even though he should have

Now down to business... If you were wondering why Drizzy was sitting on this lucky stool during his performance, Its because he tore his ACL... how you ask? I'll gladly tell you.

supposedly he got into an altercation where he got jacked for his diamond chain (similar to the black diamond chain he was wearing at the awards) and in that fiasco he fucked his shit up. Its okay boo... There are many ladies that will rub you down gladly

The Baddest Bitch I've ever seen

why is this woman so damn gorgeous? I have no clue. What's even worse is she's bald. That means her face and her body has nothing to hide behind. With nothing else left to say Amber Rose is ridiculous and I couldn't picture her being down with anyone but Kanye.

You're on BLAST

Well here I am sitting with a friend at lunch talking shit about the BET awards when the subject of JayZ comes up. To my surprise I find out that Chris Brown was supposed to perform (because if anyone can do a good Michael Jackon impression its him), but he didn't. Why you ask?!?!?! Good old Jigga man said that if they let CB perform (after beating Rihanna ass) then neither he nor his wife Beyonce would perform... now u choose, Jigga and B or Chris Brown the felon... personally I'd like to see Chris, but its interesting to know that Hov has the man power to tell BET who they can let perform. That's what happens when a man makes 82 million in a year.

Thorough

Here I am surfing myspace and I find this group called Willie Isz. Now these two men represent (In my own opinion) good innovative dope fucking southern-ish Hip Hop. Please go fuck with them. Keep an open mind though kids. The way their shit starts off is just so tasty lol.

Come on BET

First and foremost... Drake is the MAN. Call me a groupie or whatever i give NO fuck. I feel uber offended that they made such a damn hot mess out of one of the greatest things to happen to Hip Hop this year. They shoulda put that man center stage and had him perform good shit like Lust for Life or Successful instead of bleeping out ever other word on a song that's chorus screams "I just wanna fuck every girl in the world." Now don't get me wrong, i love the song, but if you can't do it right then don't do it at all. Add that to the fact that I don't know the names of the other 2 rappers on that song and the 12 year olds that were on Drizzy's jock strap, BET is really getting on my nerves. SmfH

Are you for real?

Alright now if I know one thing, its that the BET awards generally have decent artists on stage. So imagine my god damn surprise when im watching Soulja Boy's stupid ass performing his ignorant ass song. What's even worse is Kanye is bobbing his head like this little nigga is good, that makes me feel like I should like him if Yeezy likes him... But i don't. And that won't change.

Droppping like flies

Its crazy how people die everyday but there are those people who you wish would die, those who should never die, and those that can never die.

Adios to Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays (aka Mr. Oxi Clean)

Hhmmm

Well there's a new 21 year old chick from Barbados that may or may not be worth listening to. I'll let you decide. Her name is Livvi Franc, her first single is "Now Im That Bitch" (hhmmmm...). She's being called the next Rihanna... Doubt it! But give her a shot anyways

Does Love Exist?

Blow Me a KiiSS iiF yhu think LOVE exists....


Love does not exist. Love is merely the anticipation of the inevitability of pain. When you tell someone "I love you," the statement you're really conveying is vulnerability. You're actually saying, "You could hurt me if you wanted to," you're just expressing you're own insecurity and blind fear that the other party does not value you as much as you value them. True love is nothing more than trust. Love does not exist without trust and vice versa...so if you've ever told someone you love him or her and still not trusted him or her, then there is no real love there. It is only you repeating a traditional statement you've heard all your life and feel an obligation to say. This is why teen relationships (for the most part) never work out. Teenagers aren't usually mature enough to trust someone fully. The few who do trust someone never seek a romantic relationship with them because it would only complicate and possibly remove that trust. The relationship becomes more physical than mental...having to live up to society's standards of a loving relationship. This is why girls always fall for the wrong guy. The Right Guys are too attainable and too trusted, girls for the most part need the pain of the false love of another guy to drive them to "one of the good ones." Love isn't made of pixie dust that the tooth fairy sprinkles on you at night. Love isn't fat midget who flies around looking for you, cause its destined that everyone will find someone. This is the great lie that were are trained to believe. If you want "love", you need to get out there and work for it. And when you find love it's not a cure all for all life's problems. When a woman who get the beat up by her boyfriend/ husband and still say "but I love him." This is a clear sign of person still believing in the lie.

If i were to be a lesbian, It'd be for this woman alone

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Well Wes Anderson is at again. The director of movies such as the Darjeeling Limited, Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and Bottle Rocket is making a movie based on the book The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. I nearly shit my pants when i heard about this one. This film is currently in post production (editing and shit) and should be out in November sometime. It won't be big, you probably won't see commercials for it but I'm telling you NOW... Wes Anderson is a genius behind a camera. Get with it

Back to Classics

If you've ever been on UO online and have taken a gander at their electronics then you should have seen the Diana Cameras. These things are beautiful. No need for batteries or memory cards or any of the fucked up complicated shit of the present. This camera goes back to the 60's and all you need is a roll of film and an appreciation for beauty and you can let the camera handle the rest. These babies go for about $60-$70 which is hella cheap for a camera when u compare it to Nikon (if there is a comparison to be made).

Head Bumpin

Asher Roth has a video for the 2nd single on his album Asleep in the Bread Aisle. The Song is titled Be By Myself featuring Cee-lo. This is one of those jams that make u want to dance, and who doesn't love anything that Cee-lo touches

Say it ain't so

Alright, well this is a rumor that is very well believed. The oh so sexy Drake and the always beautiful Rihanna are SmAsHiNg!!! Search for his Hyde Park interview on youtube and see just how red this man turns and how big he smiles when he gets called out about it... SmH.

Artists are Appreciated

Every now and then a complete jackass crosses our paths. Smart mouth, bad attitude, chill as fuck, and funny as balls. That guy is Frankie. Returning to Atlanta, I'm very interested to see how he sets himself up here. If there's a great place for Art and talent, its Atlanta
