IT'S ALIIIIIIIIVE! ~~~~~~~ (massive TL;DR edition)
Seems like every entry thesedays months I start with "HOMG I SHOULD BE ON LJ MORE" and this one is no exception! 8D;;; But but BUT, I have a rather good excuse this time for not being there. First university started again, and then there were 2 film festivals which I attended, 9 days in total. LOTS OF MOVIES. 8D I haven't even managed to upload half of the Bolivia photos yet. DD8 More like... a tenth, if at all. XD; Have a random one:
(did I mention that I tried to read "Twilight" during my Bolivia trip? I thought it sucked major donkey butt and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. 8D; SPARKLING LIKE A MILLION DIAMONDS? REALLY? Hugest Gary-Stu/Mary-Sue pairing I've ever witnessed. XDDD)
Heeee, I'm going to London for a week on Dec 3rd! 8DD I've never been there during winter, only in summertime. Can't wait for all the Christmas decorations and general London-ness, I love that city so much. ;u; YAY~
I've also been working on a portfolio. 8D; It sucks and isn't finished by far (and I pretty much want to throw out all of the art), but here's the link if you want to check it out. XDD
I needs to find me an internship for next summer, but I don't know where or what. D; Another country would be awesome, but that's so EXPENSIVE (and paid internships are rare), also working visas and blablabla.
Both festivals were awesome! The first one in Leipzig was about animation and documentary only (which is awesome, the only category missing to make it the perfect festival is sci-fi XDDDD) and the second one in my hometown was about international and German movies in General with a focus on video games, which was also awesome. XD
In total I watched about 45-50 films, but that was only possible because the majority was short films. 8D;;; The animation shorts were so cool!1 ♥
Here are some of my favourites that I found on teh_Tubes (unfortunately not all of them):
Global Warming (Australia/Serbia) - For starters, short and hilarious. XD
Muto (Italy) - This one BLEW MY MIND. @_@ Can you imagine the effort of painting each (HUGE) frame on a wall and then covering it with white paint again for the next frame? And the PERSPECTIVE! Holy shit.
Our Wonderful Nature (German) - This one was the winner of the German animation competition. XD
Berni's Doll (France) - Really disturbing at times, but also very much worth watching. XD
Last Time in Clerkenwell (USA) - A Flash animation that is actually a continuation of this animation about birds taking over London. This one is about the birds' regiment, very catchy. XD
Oktapodi (France) - A hilarious and cute animation about LOOK AT THE TITLE. XD
Margot (France) - A very well done dark stop-motion tale about a woman who killed her lover and is now in depression (it's in French, but pretty much self-explanatory)
^stupid blank space! D8{ I'm too code-retarded to get rid of it.
Anyways, that's all for the videos, unfortunately I couldn't find the full version of the following, so if there's a film festival near you that might show these, here are some recommendations: Morana by Simon Bgojevic-Narath, Skhizein by Jérémy Clapin and The Employment (El Empleo) by Santiago Grasso.
Whoo! That was long.
Es ist mal wieder Zeit für TV-Snark, ich guck mir auch jeden Scheiß an (for the Lulz).
URI GELLER. Mein Lieblings-Idiot der ungerechtfertigten Selbstüberschätzung. In seiner letzten Show hat er wenigstens Grundschul-Zauberertricks gezeigt, und jetzt?
Diese "Alien-Show" (haben die echt GELD verschwendet um die olle Schüssel zu mieten?) war ja wohl der lahmste Shit, den ich je (mit Unterbrechungen) Gesehen habe. XD Endloses Gelaber, grenzdebile Entführungsopfer-Psychotiker und dramatische Blicke (Uri Geller guckt eigentlich immer dramatisch und redet extra betont, das is so ein bisschen wie bei Neun Live. Da tun sie auch immer so, als ob gleich jemand drankommt, obwohl nie was passiert. DER BUTTON LEUCHTET!1). Und dann haben sie auch noch Footage vom letzten Indy-Film gezeigt, als ob das jetzt irgendwas beweisen würde. IN DER SHOW IST *NICHTS* PASSIERT (außer, dass ein paar Penner bald eine hohe Handyrechnung bekommen, weil sie ein Dutzend MMSen mit verschwommenen Bildern von undefinierbaren Punkten im Himmel, womöglich Dreck an der Fensterscheibe, zu ProSieben geschickt haben als "Beweis" für Außerirdische). *wheeze*
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
Seit einiger Zeit kommt auf diversen Sendern ein Trailer für das Spiel FarCry 2, welches mich überhaupt nicht interessiert, ABER DAS LIED!1 Ich kann einfach nicht herausfinden, welches Lied da gespielt wird. DDD8 Da macht immer eine Männerstimme BRRRRRRAM BRRRRRRRRAM!1 XDDD Klingt besser wenn man's hört. Weiß einer von euch zufällig, was für ein Lied das in dem Spot ist? D8 Googlen hat nix gebracht, anscheinend gibt's Spots mit verschiedenen Liedern in anderen Ländern.
"Barra Barra" von Rachid Taha. XDD Klingt gut!
By the way, did any of you have problems with the latest Firefox 2 update? DD8 (.11 I think it is) It worked all fine for me at first, but then today the sound was gone ONLY in Firefox (like when videos were embedded), that was so weird. D; I had to download .10 to fix it (luckily there's oldversion.com @_@).
MYOOSIC:
O HAY, did you know Keane has a new album out? 8DD I haven't thoroughly listened to all of it yet, but this one's fun. XD Like dancing for yourself!
"Pretend that you're alone" by Keane
And not to miss, here's the song that played during the X-Files 2 movie credits (you know, the scene when the camera!helicopter flew over the sea and Mulder/Scully were in a boat half naked? Was that crazy or what), it makes me feel really melancholic about the X-Files ending, even though the song is new and the movie wasn't very X-Files-ish at all. I WANT MY FIRST 7 SEASONS BACK. T_T *pathetic fandom-clinging*
