Quote of the Day

"... Nowadays, the idea of what censorship means is kind of irrelevant. We used to be shielded from this or from that or couldn’t get access. I’m older than you, but still you remember the time when there were restrictions that don’t exist anymore. Everything is accessible. The speed of light makes things move faster because of technology. The evolution moves faster. Information is moving faster. Access is moving faster. Violence is all around us. Accessibility to Instagram wars is a click, swipe, and scroll away. What are the two things that you can now provoke the mind with because these are no longer provocative? 

It’s silence—because we’re so bombarded with noise—and stillness. So now, the most primal, healthy mind, non-medical inventions are now the enemy? It’s amazing because I can take these tools and I can now do something that I think is essential: make art silent and make it still. Then, you piss people off. "

All I still really want to think and talk about this week is Nicolas Winding Refn's film Her Private Hell -- thankfully I'm still getting chances to do just that even though it flopped! I mean even in this interview I'm quoting from above NWR mentions box office isn't something he worries about, so if he's not I won't. I just need him to continue getting opportunities to fly that beautiful freak flag of his because I need it like oxygen. You can read my review of this movie here. Thinking and talking about this movie is keeping me from having to waste any more time getting annoyed at The Odyssey over-hype.. okay I am still managing to get annoyed about that. But less!
