Låt den rätte komma in (Let the right one in)

Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other people's blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive? Let The Right One In is a story both violent and highly romantic, set in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg in 1982.

Here's what I think I know, maybe

I'm a big quitter, but I always win. There's no losing. Whatever I make of myself, I deserve it, whatever I choose to make of the world, it accepts it. There are no rules, thus, everyone wins.

A half-forgotten, half-legendary pioneer in American abstract and animated filmmaking, Mary Ellen Bute, late in her career as an artist, created this adaptation of James Joyce, her only feature. In the transformation from Joyce's polyglot prose to the necessarily concrete imagery of actors and sets, Passages discovers a truly oneiric film style, a weirdly post-New Wave rediscovery of Surrealism, and in her panoply of allusion - 1950s dance crazes, atomic weaponry, ICBMs, and television all make appearances - she finds a cinematic approximation of the novel's nearly impenetrable vertically compressed structure.

With Passages from Finnegans Wake Bute was the first to adapt a work of James Joyce to film and was honored for this project at the Cannes Film Festival in 1965 as best debut.

desert search for techno allah

I've been reinventing myself lately. My brain(!) is made up of waves and particles. I've also watched some movies, again, and again, and again. I sort of bore myself, but what's the point in that? I could fly above the desert.

now

I've hardly been doing anything besides sitting here with my laptop and making plans for "the summer", which I can't seem to realise is, like the ongoing WOW, happening right now. I need to go visit some place I've never seen before.

My dad helped me fix my bike (and I got a bike basket), so from now on I'll try to make use of it.



Speaking of bikes, here's something cool:



With the incredible popularity of fixed-gear and single-speed bicycles, a subculture of tweed has quietly been gaining speed.

The Caterer by Jeff Lint

Described by Alan Moore as "The Holy Barnacle of Failure"...

The Caterer dragged Pearl Comics into a legal hell when its hero spent the whole of Issue 9 on a killing spree in Disneyland. The smirking Jack Marsden became a cult figure and role model for enigmatic idiots in the mid-70s. His style and catchphrases were such an insider code that hundreds of people got beaten up by baffled or enraged onlookers.

new blog

So, this is my new blog, in english, so everybody can get their share of my thoughts. This is a blog to which I'll be posting things that I find interesting or beautiful or otherwise inspiring, or perhaps something I've created myself. I'm not likely to post any of my poetry here though, because I write mainly in finnish. I do have some other blogs as well ( here's my tumblelog ) with slightly different agendas.

I don't really know why I'm kidding myself to believe that someone might actually be reading this.. Oh well, I'll be reading it myself anyway.
