Oh, this is from the same director as 東 京物語, which is officially the best film ever.
I really like his style. He puts the camera almost in the line-of-sight of the characters while they’re speaking to each other. So you feel like you’re in the middle. It’s very odd, but quite effective.
It’s funny, too. I totally LOL-ed out loud (using sounds and stuff) several times. Like the shaving scene.
So melodrama. Wow.

I forgot that I printed a shirt with luminescent paint earlier this summer.
I just went into the darkest of dark rooms, flashed it, and took some photos.
The DVD transfer is among the worst I’ve seen. Is this an upsampled VHS thing? Everyhing is all moire and stuff…
It might just be me, but I just didn’t find this to be very funny. And I usually like Billy Wilder films. Perhaps I’m just in a lousy mood tonight. Or perhaps it’s the magic pixie dream girl thing, once again, boring me to tears.
The Apartment. Billy Wilder. 1960.

I bought a bluetooth numpad today.
It’s a fresh and exciting experience:
Fresh!
Scandinavian design!
Thor! Is that you!?
Sure… Or perhaps they mean the packaging?
Perhaps not.
Anyway, I can’t get it to pair with my Ubuntu laptop, so I guess it doesn’t work under Linux.
Oh, well. It it’s wireless, it doesn’t really work.
I read the book last year, I think? I don’t actually recall it, but I think it must have been better than this film? The guy in “Jap-face” is really cringe-worthy. But I guess it’s… fine…
I thought I was going to enjoy this film, but I kinda didn’t. I am disappoint!
Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Blake Edwards. 1961.

I guess triple-sec is never a good idear.
