My New Templars Flunked The Planet

April 30th, 2004 at 12:15 pm (Linkage)

Anne (pronounced Annie) tells the story of a dream of hers involving red crosses, New Templars and The Handmaid’s Tale.

I only mention it because the uniforms were so odd. The tunics were that same olive/brown found in WWI, but they had red crosses covering the chest. The arms and body of the cross met right over the heart. It was like a bullseye. Well done, fellas. They eventually figured this out, and so made the red darker, and darker, until it looked like dried blood.

My dreams aren’t nearly as political. The dream I remember most vividly alternated between a yellow screen and a whole bunch of scribbles. I had it all the time, and it used to terrify me. And then there was the dream wherein I ripped off my arm to defend the city against giant spiders who were out to steal my sticker collection. Good times indeed. Anyone know any Jung? Or maybe own one of those “what dreams mean” books? I’d like some insight into my nightly visions of days past. Do my research for me!!

Eternal Sunshine

April 30th, 2004 at 2:27 am (Arts & Culture, Memes, Swamp Reviews)

Just got back from dinner and a movie, although not in that order. The dinner was poached pears and chevre in a phyllo pastry, and the movie was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Both were delectable, although the latter was interrupted twice due to sound problems. The flow of the movie was disturbed, so I’ll likely have to watch it again to fully enjoy it.

I didn’t like Eternal Sunshine as much as I did Being John Malkovich or Adaptation, but it was impressive nonetheless. (Props go to Michel Gondry, who is gradually becoming one of my favourite directors.) The movie is capable of standing on its own, which means that Charlie Kaufman hasn’t yet gotten to the level of fame/laziness where he can just slap together any old thing and call it a screenplay. That makes me happy.
