Sam Taylor Wood made a series of photographs revolving around strong, masculine men getting in touch with their emotions and crying. These strong, figureheads of men allowing themselves to be honest with their own feelings; something men don't allow themselves to do very often.



Or something... thats the interpretation I got.
According to Wood:
"Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult. People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It’s about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side.”

See for yourself

I've only recently fallen for this film and Tarantino. After seeing Inglorious Basterds at the cinema (with my parents no less), I started to gain more interest in Tarantino, what drew me to him (specifically from Basterds) was not just the dialogue but the intensity of the scenes which relied upon it. Also the character development was shockingly brilliant, so I delved and found a gem of a film which I will love for a long time :)


WARNING - Blood and spoilers

I remember hearing the tale of my uncle and aunts first date... they went to see this very film at the cinema, my aunt walked out half way through. They got married in the end though :D

Challenge 12 for picspammy
It was asking me to do a picspam that focused greatly on colour and he thing that came to mind immediately when thinking of colour was orange (its a favourite of mine) and the rest writes itself... Or I dont know how I came to this conclusion but I did so... yes.


( I've seen love die )

Basically this is what's going to happen here. I've been watching Flight of the Conchords and I love these guys. They rock my world. And I didn't think they could ever beat their music videos for Bowie or Robots but then Michel Gondry came along and guest directed an episode. My favourite director with my favourite folk parody duo! It was a match made in heaven!
And this little music sketch was also made in some place rather wonderful.
So I made a picspam :]



( I'm hoping that you'll stick around )

And thats it :)

It may just be me but I was sitting here wondering why it hadn't been done yet? It's such an obvious comparison. Simple. Almost too simple. But I care not! For it is one of my favourite television programs ever. And so here I go.



( What becomes of you my love )

Why I think these two characters are inherently similar.
And even if they aren't it's a Christian Bale fest and who can argue with that? That's right! No one!



( Psycho killer, Quest que cest )

I've been messing on instead of working. So instead of just doing a powerpoint presentation on all of the lectures I've had in the past three months I've put screencaps of my favourite films in the background much like this one :)
they're lightened and the contrast is zapped from them so they're just little ink blots of pictures behind my work
The person marking my powerpoint will either recognise what the heck I'm doing or just ignore it :D Either or it's good for me!

Yeah that particular scene is from The Darjeeling Limited with perhaps one of my favourite exchanges of dialogue ever :D
"You dont love me!"
"Yes I do!"
"I love you too but I'm gonna mace you in the face!"

So yeah
I've found it fun to make them so I'm posting them to see if anyone can figure out the films
Alot of my friends have found this difficult so lets see how the LJ-ers do.

( she's not a girl, that misses much )

Ok so this is my first proper-ish picspam and it's not of the happiest of subjects but the colours were so awesome and the film itself was brilliant and this sentence is getting long and I need to take a breath.



If you havent seen it you may or may not wanna look, this contains spoilers
