Closer

I was reading an interview with Closer's writer...talking abt how the director wanted the movie to be like.

Mike wanted the flim to be a bit theatrical. He wanted the flim to be like life, but like a dream at the same time. I think he acheived that - it doesn't feel like life as it absolutely is, with all its grunts, and umms and ahhs, in inarticulacy. The dialogue still feels theatrical, but consciously so. We're aware of that. We're not intending this to be docu-drama. Mike wanted to capture that strange feeling you have when you're in love, that the world exists only if the person you love is with you. And that haunting feeling that when you're in love you're cocooned from the rest of the world. You're isolated when u're in love. Bombs fall and nations fall, but you're in love.

And I was just thinking about you last night. I think you've been in love for too long a time now. Why don't you snap out of it so that we can actually really play?

Closer was wonderful wasn't it, despite its flaws? Haha.

Anyway I wanted to reply to the message you left in my guestbook way earlier but uh, kinda forgot. Haha. I didn't really consider mass comm because I'm not impressed with the local journalism scene, hence. =) But thanks for the thought all the same. Still, I've finally convinced myself that I am not creative and that I'm better off doing things like...being a lawyer. I think. I don't know, this is not making sense. Sorry about that.

And yeah, Nikko Smith!!! If he cuts an album I'd totally buy it!!!!!!
