the mediator of the head and the hands must be the heart.

my weekend in southampton was fantastic...the only downside is coming home and having to get straight back to uni work etc etc all while remembering how sucky it is to miss yr boyfriend after spending four and a half days in his pocket. i didn't take any photos (shocking, i know!!) but we pretty much just cooked and ate nice food, went out drinking and dancing and watched movies etc etc. oh and i took him on a google streetview tour of the city i lived in in spain last year because (for some unkwon reason) flights are far too expensive for us to get there in reality anytime soon.

the screenshots above are from a german silent film called metropolis that we watched last night. if you haven't seen it you should definitely invest some time to watch it. it is really inspiring. i now know what my hallowe'en costume will be next year. and the score is beautiful.

summer viewing...

at this precise moment in time when i ought to be revising for a resit, nothing seems more imperative than making lists of all the movies i plan to watch with my friends this summer. below is part (yes, only part) of my list so far. if you haven't seen any of these movies i would definitely encourage you to do so. every single one of these movies is awesome in some way or another and i can't wait to rewatch them with old friends and introduce them to new ones.

the holy mountain, grey gardens, taxi driver, moonwalker, rec., my neighbour totoro, alice.

the last one, alice by jan svankmajer, i am particularly excited about. i have only ever watched it online before...but a friend of mine recently picked up the dvd. as i'm sure you can tell it is an alice in wonderland adaptation...and definitely the best i have ever seen. it manages to be simultaneously creepy (just look at those screenshots) and beautiful. everything about it is fantastic!!

anyway...to the point...has anyone got any movie recommendations for me?? most of you who read this blog seem to have pretty similar taste to mine when it comes to this kind of stuff, so i would really appreciate some input. i'm trying to make a list to end all lists. :]
