BACK TO THE BLOGGING
A big thanks to Mikhail for inspiring me to write on this blog again. At least someone enjoys my ramblings :) I've decided to branch out from rather just writing about film to write about other stuff that just pops in my head. Unfortunately although I've figured out how to put pics on these things, I'm just too damn lazy to do so. I think I've been struck by a disease called Virtual Insanity.....remember that song by Jamiroquai (who I think is amazing). Its like information overload that you become so overwhelmed by all these amazing things you can do on the information superhighway that you become numb and useless. I can't even handle a simple mobile phone. Besides I've never liked phones, of course they are a very convenient form of communication, but the ringing (despite now you can get new pop songs as a ring tone, even my Mum is more up to date than I am) just drives me crazy. Ergo the phone is on silent as much as possible, not much use for work but good for my sanity. Apologies to all.
I've been reading up on 'Shadow People,' quite a bit lately -well mainly for work purposes. For those who think Shadow people are those Milli Vanilli background singers heres a simple definition for you from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_people Creepy eh? I've never had a personal experience with these things, and neither would I want to but its strange that so many have. I remember seeing a pair of red eyes peering out from the bushes when I was 8 but it was probably the cat.
Speaking of shadows, I saw this interesting Korean film called Shadows in the Palace. Heres the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcM4jxxfQSQ It was released last year but I never got a chance to watch it. Its interesting in the way that it mixes a costume drama/murder mystery with supernatural elements.
Quarantine is no 2 on the US Box office http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1082868/ Haven't seen it of course, but I loved the original Spanish film REC http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/. Its The Blair Witch style of film-making, or shaky cam as most audiences will be familiar with.
Thats all for now...........

Shadow ppl are scary but could it be just our imagination? The mind makes our fear real. I remember a story i heard, this guy came back home late and slept. He woke up suddenly and saw "something" humanoid and hairy crouching beside watching him ... he couldnt move or speak till he close his eyes and wishing it to go away. and away it went. bet there are more scary stories out there. lucky, i cant see these kind of things ..
Have the walls, floors and ceilings been moving as they did in the Virtual Insanity video as well?
Classic piece of work by Jay Kay that. :-)
Enthusiasts of the films of Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski (Blind Chance, Dekalog, The Double Life of Véronique, Three Colours Trilogy, etc) are invited to drop by my chatroom at the Brasserie Alizé on the anniversary of the director’s death, this coming Friday evening, 13 March 2009, from around 1800 GMT. Please pass on the invitation to others and hopefully see you there!
I am looking for an opportunity to see your film CHERMIN. My company is interested in your film for North America.
Regards,
Tetsuki
