Negative Space: life
- Dazed and Confused
- This movie is an incredible tale of sound and fury signifying high school. Linklater has crafted a beautiful story of a bunch of high schools students in Texas on the last day of school in 1976. There is no plot to get in the way of characterization. The soundtrack consists of seventies songs chosen specifically scene by scene for maximum impact. If you were ever in high school, you should see this movie for nostalgia reasons; if not, you should see it as an education. Slow ride, baby. Watch it in English or French, or with English or Spanish subtitles.
- Do Not Bend, Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate
- Man serves computers as if they were gods, and defers to their judgment in all things. But the more advanced they get, the more mistakes they make.
- Don’t be afraid of your Blue Period
- Repeat yourself. When you do something great, do it again. Repeat your best work until you know why it’s best.
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
- Jack Nicholson leads an all-star cast that wasn’t all-star at the time, in a “typically” Milos Forman film dealing with issues of freedom, totalitarianism, and responsibility, all contained in a nuthouse.
- That you may not be the martyred slaves of time
- That you may not be the martyred slaves of time, get drunk. Get drunk and never pause for rest. And listen to the Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem.
