so i am high on art

[emchy]

and you think i am kidding but i am not. last night getting to see grindhouse, which i have been out of my skin jumpy excited about since SEPTEMBER, i had the pre movie happy adrenaline. i got the OMG look at what they did with the: trailers. credit fonts. cameos. film burns. film treatments. action sequences. gratuitous. bad ass. action. adrenaline. jumpy. fire. guns. cameos. etc.

and then i got to TALK about it. and get home and TALK MORE about it. and all the out of my skin jumpy excited that i used to walk in about pop culture and film and music on a daily basis is back and kind of kicking my ass / exhausting me because all i want to do is talk and talk really fast and jump around and find more movies to see and go read variety and sight and sound and dig into it all like i used to do when i had two large legal sized filing cabinets overflowing with clipped magazine and academic and whatever i could find articles on every single music/art/film thing that i liked so that i could have a place to store the archives of knowledge that i was pouring through all of the time b/c i had free access to essentially every magazine published. for realz.

and now NOW i find out that zorn has a great american music hall show in november and my tickets are bought and omg music and jazz and avante and noise and WOW WOW WOW and i am so excited and i can't even stand it and i just want to go and BUY lots of MAGAZINES and MUSIC and MOVIES and watch and think and talk and explore and find new places in my brain that think all new kinds of ways

and tonight if QOM and i am so excited to hear more art and more people and poetry and reading and wowowowowowow.

btw - i am reading at poems under the dome at city hall on monday. poemdome.com i think. wanna come?

I remember the last time a movie had a PROFOUD effect on me and how it made me feel. It's similar to how you reacted to Grindhouse, with less outward expression. It's funny how in the course of an hour and a half, you find yourself falling in love with these characters, people you've never met but sincerely feel for their well-being and success. You laugh and cry and fight and struggle and claim victory with them, and in the end, your heart feels desire for more. Even the greatest conclusion leaves you lacking, you need more. More closure, more background, more information, and yet the art of the picture was perfection, and to continue would take away from the film. So you write and talk and EXPRESS and THINK, and the movie does what it was supposed to do: Envoke Thought. A good movie doesn't just entertain, it opens your perspective, really draws you in and shows you something.

Sorry 'bout the long response, somehow I think you'll understand and agree with me, though. (-:
