Hmm stonesoup was down this morning, so I had to wait til now to upate on the movies....
Toons for Tots was thoroughly delightful, as it always is. I had a little girl sitting next to me who was very onto it, but also very restless. Her father and her kept talking to each other..telling each other what was happening on screen. Annoying.
Sewing Table was awesome, and also Grey Avenue and The Three Sisters who fell into the mountain. Making two out of three of my favourites stop motion. Sewing Table featured a rescue guy made out of thread tracking down a red wool duck. Very cool.
Animation Now! was also very good. It was good to see Harvey Krumpet again and I also really liked Flux for being insane and hilarious and Riba for being a lovely looking story about a cat who wants to play the piano and the fish he meets. Instinct was cool, too. A kind of alternate creation story.
Today we went to The Corporation which I have to recommend as a great companion to Farenheit 9/11 and Super Size Me. You'll be shocked if you see this though, I mean, who knew that a company in San Francisco owns the all fresh water in a city in Bolivia? Including rainwater?
It was really quite upsetting in subject matter but a very very well made doco.
I was pretty melancholy after that one but made it to Primer all the same. It was a no-budget movie about two scientists who make a thing. They don't know what it does at first...I won't spoil it because it's a great movie, but a bit mind-fucky. I followed it pretty well up until the climax-esque scenes. Then it went whoosh! Over my head.
Never mind. I enjoyed it all the same.
This morning I had a dream that I was in a forest camp and a boy I haven't seen for about 4 years wanted to date me. Giffy told me not to date him because he'd be a bad boyfriend, so I told him no. Lee was also in the dream but mostly wandering through the forest in his long black coat. In the background.
