quote from the science of sleep

April 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

On the formulation of dreams:
first, we put in some random thoughts
then we add a little bit of reminiscences of the day
mixed with some memories from the past (that’s for two people)
love, friendships, relationships, and all those ships
together with songs you heard through the day, things you saw, and
also some personal…
From the opening scene of The [...]

History Boys

March 27th, 2007 · No Comments

I wasn’t really watching, just sitting in the room while somebody else was. I was not terribly impressed by what I did see.
One quote that I caught:
a: Do you ever want to go back?b: To Oxford? I’m not not clever enough. I’m not anything enough, really.

Saving Face

November 3rd, 2006 · No Comments

Today I re-watched [tag]Saving Face[/tag]. At first, I was utterly convinced I hadn’t actually seen this movie before. When my aunt asked me about it, I had said that I heard good things about it, that it was shown at Doc in the Asian-American series, and that I wouldn’t mind seeing it. [...]

quick remarks on x-men

May 25th, 2006 · No Comments

Well, I think it was kind of disappointing, that [tag]x-men[/tag] movie. It seemed sort of… like there was a lot of random situations that magically had fixes. Too many, rather, and in addition there were all these… extraneous seeming characters and, like…
I don’t know, it was fun, but, for example, I think I enjoyed [...]

I’m exhausted.

May 6th, 2006 · 1 Comment

I got home a little bit ago, brushed and flossed and got ready for bed and am now sitting in bed not feeling as ready to sleep as I should be. I think this may be due to the sizable amount of mild stimulants I ate earlier because I was worried I’d fall asleep [...]

film snobbery

April 26th, 2006 · 4 Comments

I came across this list of 102 movies the film critic Jim Emerson says one must see before regarding themselves as movie literate.
Now, don’t get the wrong idea, I don’t at all consider myself movie literate. And just glancing at this list I know for certain I haven’t seen a lot because [...]

Americanese

April 2nd, 2006 · 1 Comment

Last Friday, I attended the screening of [tag]Americanese[/tag] at the Gene Siskel Film Center.
I really enjoyed the [tag]movie[/tag]. I thought it was a really engrossing drama and I felt like I could relate to it in a lot of ways. The scenes with Aurora’s family struck me as very… I don’t [...]

the conversation

March 29th, 2006 · No Comments

I was thinking about The Conversation (1974) the other day. It’s been a while, I think I watched this movie for the first and thus far only time back in first year, motivated I think largely by reading about the connection between this movie and the more recent Enemy of the State (1998). [...]

Board Games, Snacks, Underworld: Evolution

February 5th, 2006 · No Comments

So, right now instead of watching the premier American Football event of the year, I am flattening a computer, writing an email to my professor and acting on my earlier thoughts of writing a few remarks about yesterday.
I started yesterday with two things I intended to do. I was going to go to a [...]

In Good Company

December 26th, 2005 · No Comments

I’m farily certain I’ve already mentioned this movie (In Good Company (2004)) before, on whatever blog I was maintaining at the time, but I saw most of it again earlier today, and it was interesting to me how it struck me so differently this time around. The first time I saw it, I guess [...]
