I suck at reviewing movies. Totally. So here’s the movie description from Amazon:

The Science of Sleep, a playful romantic fantasy set inside the topsy-turvy brain of Stephane Miroux (Gael Garcia Bernal) an eccentric young man whose dreams constantly invade his waking life.

I found the science of sleep to be a really brilliant movie. Pumalakpak pati tenga ko! It sorta reminds me of a Barbra Streisand movie we watched in great books class, ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ which coincides with a great book which I can’t remember. Don Quixote ata. Coming from the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, this new one doesn’t disappoint. Gael Garcia Bernal’s performance as Stephane was great as well. I really love the art direction and the cinematography, it looks like weird dream and kiddy artwork at the same time. The rocking paper buildings and the tissue paper roll city was so cool.

I’m talking nonsense again.

If dreams are exhausting, what more can reality be?

Guy: f>>>, an artist, he’ll never last

Stéphanie: Why me?
Stephane: Because everyone else is boring. And because you are different.

P. S. R. Parallel Synchronized Randomness. An interesting brain rarity and our subject for today. Two people walk in opposite directions at the same time and then they make the same decision at the same time. Then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it. Basically, in a mathematical world these two little guys will stay looped for the end of time. The brain is the most complex thing in the universe and it’s right behind the nose.

Haha, I always experience that. I feel clumsy when I do bump people because of PSR.

…hahaha. One more for the list. I think my sister and I watched almost all of the movies from 1996-2006 in the IMDB top 250 and some of the Film Noir. Streetcar named Desire, up next.

Amazing how we’re watching IMDB top 250 films and art films, and art films, and art films one after another when we haven’t watched ANY of the Godfather trilogy.

Do you know anyone who’s into collecting rare and unique cars? You might refer them this site which offers exotic cars for sale and who knows, it just might be the car of his or her dreams!

The usage of the word “STUFFS” instead of using “STUFF” is a premoral and ontic evil (haha, that sounds to Theo class). I cringe every single time one uses the word ‘Stuffs’ because ‘Stuff’ is already fucking plural and I don’t get why a lot of people still think that using ‘Stuffs’ is correct.

For example?

‘Where can I buy stuffs like these?’ = Means ‘Where can I get fillers like these?’ or ‘Where can I cram like these’ or ‘Where can I apply like these?’ It does not mean anything at all, mind you.
‘Where can I buy stuff like these?’ = Correct form. Malamang.

SO STOP USING THE MOTHERFUCKING ‘STUFFS‘ WORD BECAUSE IT ANNOYS ME LIKE MOTHERFUCKING HELL!

Also on design.

It is technically wrong to call yourself a ‘Graphics‘ designer instead of a ‘Graphic‘ designer not only because it sounds effing awkward, but it limits yourself to designing as an art, not as a means of using graphics to disseminate information. IT’S GRAPHIC DESIGNER.

As for calling yourself a Graphic(s) Artist as opposed to a Graphic Designer. The realm is totally different. ART can be portrayed and interpreted in multiple meanings depending on one’s point of view by multiply outside factors and DESIGN on the other hand, means that you’re trying to convey a SINGLE UNIFIED MESSAGE.

Please understand what I’m trying to say, because the work being done by a lot of us Filipinos is totally blurred out because there aren’t any distinctions to separate art from design.

Okay, design can be considered art if it is made for the purpose to be interpreted, but it is not necessarily art.

I’m not trying to be some airy cockhead by writing this, but I really think some issues really need to be dismissed.

AND FUCK 97.1 WLSFM! TASTELESS RADIO STATION REFORMATTING! PUTANGINA NIYO GMA! PUTANGINA!

Magpapalit na ako ng mukha! Haha.

I just came home from Gateway, we watched Zhang Yimou’s Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia / Curse of the Golden Flower and I was blown away. I remember watching ‘Daggers’ with an empty crowd at Megamall but wow, daming tao kanina ah. Call me biased but Yimou is the Chinese Kurosawa. Chinese movies usually have the theme of betrayal and distrust and this one doesn’t veer away, it’s your usual tragic-ending operetta but it was crafted so well I didn’t mind even if I predicted some of the scenes. I was always fascinated with the T’ang Dynasty because of asian history class and I finally saw what it could have been like. - wow.

I can’t place myself on which Yimou movie I like the most though (For the love of God, ‘Not one Less’ was my first Yimou movie and I loved it too.)

On other news, I haven’t started my brochure assignment yet because I changed my skin for this blog. -_- Hurrah for me.
