Hunger

directed by Steve McQueen and written by McQueen & Enda Walsh.

>

I saw this movie last November while I was in London, but it didn't open until just recently here in the states.

The film is based on a true story and deals with the last 6 weeks of the life of Bobby Sands, the leader of the 1981 Irish republican hunger strike.

It is an extremely intense and moving film with beautiful cinematography! I would highly recommend seeing it, if you like serious movies.

I know this trailer is already on every blog ever invented.

BUT I don't care. I am seriously so excited.
Also pleased with the music choice(Arcade Fire), it goes really well I think.

Here is a crummy quality youtube version...



But it is MUCH better quality on the apple website (I just can't embed it)...

I WANT TO LIVE IN THE WELLCOME COLLECTION

The last few days have been a wonderful, inspirational blur.
I really like going to museums, and I had some free time, so
lets just say I went to more than a few museums.

And I don't just rush through to say I went, I'm usually the
straggler that has to get kicked out because the museum
closed 25 minutes ago.

I want to try to post the inspiration from everything so I remember it all,
but I have seen so much, so it might take a little bit of time, and a lot of posts.

Here's an outline of what's to come....

Pt 1: Tate Britian: Turner Prize 08

Pt 2: Tate Britian: Francis Bacon

Pt 3: Tate Britian: Misc

Pt 4: Garden History Museum

Pt 5: Haribo Heaven (I am telling you it was extremely inspirational)

Pt 6: Tate Modern: Misc (this was at least my 5th trip there)

Pt 7: Science Museum: Japan Car

Pt 8: Science Museum: Birth of Hi-tech Britain

Pt 9: Science Museum: Listening Post

Pt 10: Science Museum: Plasticity

Pt 11: V&A: Fashion V Sport

Pt 12: V&A: Cold War Modern: Design 1945-7

Pt 13: V&A: Misc

Pt 14: Natural History Museum: Misc

Pt 15: Wellcome Collection: War + Medicine

Pt 16: Wellcome Collection: The Watch Man

Pt 17: Wellcome Collection: Medicine Man

Pt 18: Wellcome Collection: Medicine Now

Pt 20: Barbican: On the Subject of War

Pt 21: Barbican: Robert Capa and Gerda Taro

Pt 22: Barbican: Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson


Man didn't realize there would be so many parts, but yah, stay tuned.
Also have a million bookmarks and insp images to go through that
will be tossed in there to lighten it up a bit.

The Wackness

So I saw The Wackness tonight.
Besides it's inexcusably retarded title, it was decent.

It takes place in new york city in 1994 and is a coming-of-age type movie.
It wasn't anything too exciting, seemed a little too long, and was cliche at times,
but I think I make it sound way worse than it was. I really enjoyed Olivia Thirlby's
character, Stephanie, (she also played Ellen Page's BFF in Juno).
The soundtrack was also pretty good.



If you are looking for an uplifting movie, this definitely isn't it,
but neither was nyc in the mid-90s.

Sorry to say I don't think it held up to it's hype, but I'm not sorry I saw it.
I'd say just rent it when it's on DVD.
...Or better yet, just rent Kids!!!
