Tea and Celluloid: January 2015
http://samesong-differentdance.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. The awards season and the accolades it's received have brought Boyhood. Back into the limelight, making that piece I've been putting off for several months finally topical again. Though my circles were pretty universally in love with Boyhood. Boyhood. Was that not clear? So when I started making out the portrait of a quiet, thoughtful, hesitant kid, I found the idea of Mason refreshing....

Tea and Celluloid: July 2012
http://samesong-differentdance.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Thursday, July 19, 2012. It's been a while since I've posted, but I've had good reason and several unfinished drafts to show for it. It was both our first real vacation together, and our first times in California. For me, it was my first time west of Mandan, ND. I had a blast. Check out my iPhone pictures. And so on July 2, we shipped our things and left Chicago on a train. And I've been in limbo ever since.

The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Monday, August 13, 2012. A Little Career Daydreaming. I was recently thinking about career and end goals (a perfect storm of a well timed email from KAC and a future-oriented conversation with DS), and I'm fairly confident that this video. Has been my guiding inspiration since I was three or four years old. Isn't it amazing? My introduction to jazz, by the way), plumbing systems. And the Mansueto Library. Things in NYC...

Breaking Out of the Cycle: Llewyn Davis is Left Behind at the End of the Folk Revival. Last weekend, a few friends and I went to see Inside Llewyn Davis. I don't think I'd been to the theater since seeing The Master. And A Very Long Engagement. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 28 years old. For now. View my complete profile. Breaking Out of the Cycle: Llewyn Davis is Left Be. What Was I Thinking?

The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. One quick thought about HBO's Girls. So, last night I finished Girls. First season. SM and I had started it while in Minneapolis on a quiet night with nothing else to do but peruse my mom's On Demand offerings. Both of us had pretty tepid reactions. Saturday, January 5, 2013. Movie Diary: Django Unchained. Of slaves puts a strange twist on the ending of the movie for me and effectively ends ...

Tea and Celluloid: When is My Big Break?
http://samesong-differentdance.blogspot.com/2013/11/when-is-my-big-break.html
The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Thursday, November 7, 2013. When is My Big Break? So It's been a while. Too damn high, especially compared to my midwestern roots and life in Chicago only 18 months ago, and I do strongly. Feel like I'm bleeding money every time I leave my apartment. But that's not all of it. All those months of economic uncertainty and hiring freezes represent a lot of lost time for the class of 2008 (and fine, 2009 too). The Gier Spo...

The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. One of my friends recently saw The Graduate. For the first time, and sent two of us an email about it. DS and I had two separate but perhaps complementary ideas about the aims and ending of the film. I thought y'all might find this interesting. Below I've pasted our emails, spelling/grammar mistakes and all. What do you think? Date: Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 12:25 AM. To: TS, DS. To me that's the c...

The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Monday, December 19, 2011. It took me years after watching Fallen. Starring Denzel Washington to listen to The Rolling Stones' "Time Is On My Side". Without my blood curdling. Last night we watched Night of the Hunter. And it's going to be a long time before I hear "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms". The same way again. *shudder* Have you had any songs take on alternative, eerie meanings for you in similar ways? Came ou...

The unexamined life is not worth living, nor are the unexamined movies worth watching. Saturday, June 25, 2011. Obligatory Tree of Life Post. I'm going to try to make this free of spoilers. I don't think it's possible to spoil this movie, though. Just don't walk out after the first 45 minutes. Okay, so I saw The Tree of Life. The very personal and subjective pain of losing a close family member, contrasted with the expanse of the universe. Father vs. Mother. Grace vs. Nature. Future vs. Present. These we...
