• Infusion – Legacy

    Aquaman knows what to do
    days seem shorter than they are
    finished counting all the stars
    feel the gears wind down again
    another paycheck to cash in
    may the lord of flesh and bone
    leave you some to call your own
    as we slowly feel our way
    through another shapeless day
    up the hill to sow some seed
    nostalgia’s warmth is all we need
    past dissapointments turn to steam
    we’re superheros, in our dreams
    throw the radio up high
    watch it drown out half the sky
    synaesthesia coloured blue
    aquaman knows what to do
    the secrets that we keep
    send our children fast asleep
    keep your head lights nice and low
    it’s a subtle tempting show
    through the windsweep we can see
    a cinematic legacy
    leaving cities paved with gold
    to pilot frigates through our souls

  • Sarasota Film Festival: Fin!

    So, the film festival ended yesterday. I think this year I went to more films than I ever have previously. I went to two more over the weekend: The Amateurs and The Hole Story.

    The Amateurs is a heartwarming story about a do-nothing in small town America who tries to make it good by making a porno. The whole town gets behind him. No, not like that gutterbrain. Yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds, and a must-see. Stars Jeff Bridges. 8/10.

    Despite its awkward title and the fact that it follows my review of The Amateurs, The Hole Story has nothing to do with porn. One day, in the middle of winter, a giant hole opens up in the middle of a Minnesota lake. No-one has any idea how it got there, but director Alex Karpovsky’s semi-autobiographical epic goes on a quest to find out. Oh, and it’s a got a great climax. Oh geez. 7.5/10.

  • Configuration change

    Okay, I’ve tweaked the settings on this here blog so your comments will now appear immediately. I’ve never been a fan of the “wait until your comment has been approved” system — it hinders discussion and it’s no fun at all for the commenter (it’s also the default setting for new installs of MoveableType). We’ll see how it works out.. as long as the blogspam doesn’t start getting out of hand I’d like to keep it this way 🙂
