No quote tags in this bit of the forum it seems. Well, thanks, though I have to say, I'm fairly sure, being Belle and Sebastian, it's probably intended to treat its subject rather acerbically. I read this in my Dictionary of Philosophy the other day and thought of you: 'To the extent that my labour becomes a commodity, I am alienated from it.'
Hiya. heard these lyrics today and I thought of you for some reason: "and the head said that you always were a queer one from the start For careers you say you want to be remembered for your art Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in clay" ~belle&sebastian why can't I put quote tags?!
I know. I meant to before. Does that mean you got a notification that my mailbox was full when you tried to PM me?
empty out some of your mailbox!
'The very ambition to make a poem is enough to kill it'. If you've already got the ability, if it's happening, why screw things up by trying to improve or 'learn your craft' or some such? ooooh, I like this, very much, it's spot on!
I will add them both to my list of must see movies then. the kids will get a kick out of Benji and Witch Mountain anyway.
I wasn't really suggesting you watch the whole thing, just giving you a funny little blast from the past. But I have watched whole movies on youtube in segments and it works fine. Some of them are loaded as playlists, which means they play continuously anyway, but even if not it's really not that bad. There are some real gems too, notably, Eric Rohmer's La Collectionneuse and Jean Eustache's La Maman et la Putain, two of my favourite films of all time.
thanks. I made an attempt, but the picture quality is very poor and to watch the entire movie in eight minute segments would drive me mad. I added it to my Netflix queue, along with Benji.
