Hawking

one of the most wonderful biopics ever

unable to find a real trailer for this BBC produced biopic of Stephen Hawking starring Benedict Cumberbatch (oh isn’t he wonderful?) you’ll have to settle for some photos instead.

it is so moving and in my time of crisis (my tiny tiny crisis) it really really REALLY goes to show that anything is possible and with hard work and perseverance you can do anything.

there is a tenacity and optimism found in scientists that’s often not found in writers or artists. Because science, can pretty much explain almost all of the things that goes on in the world while art can only begin to rationalize it all. And while science will strive to save the mind, writing will save the soul. so basically you really can’t do without both.

so, next time you’re having a “mental breakdown” about some “problem” you can definitely overcome it as in i am sure your problem is nothing compared to what Stephen Hawking had to go through…

also benedict cumberbatch has the most beautiful smile ever.

before i never knew what to say when people asked me if i had a favorite actor.. well now i do!

highly recommended

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

(you can easily find a copy of it if you look, the usual places, the easy places)

page one

i’m taking my exam for journalism school on thursday.
it sounds a lot more hefty than what it actually is.

i guess i watched this to psyche myself up but now i don’t really know what i’m doing and i don’t know how i feel about the whole thing.

but yeah, the new york times does seem like it’s a lot more intense than work at Vogue, (The September Issue) …..

best of luck to me.
i don’t know what else to think about this business now….

edit:

one of the reasons i think the documentary intimidated me because it focused on investigative journalism than the many other types of journalism that exists. I am a citizen of the world and hence, i have to be interested in the going-ons of the world. but what i am interested in differs from everyone else.

and because i’m different, i always think that the type of interest that i take is the bad kind of different, the wrong kind.

and i really sort of would like my life to be figured out soon.
and going to journalism school was one of the things that would lead me to figuring it out but all of that just scares me so much.

i hope that i’m smart enough and i hope that i’ll have enough drive to work hard enough.

laziness has made itself so prevalent in my life for the past while and i haven’t been doing, or even saying anything worth its molecules in saliva.

so, i gota, hustle, or something, or whatever, or something

Au Revoir Taipei

i saw this movie last night

this movie is …fast and slow at the same time. a story about a boy named kai and his hopeful journey to paris to find his girlfriend. but unfortunately she breaks up with him. he sought out local mobster (and real estate agent) for help with money to go to paris. Later kai needs to do a small task for the mobster that gets him caught in a whirlwind of adventure on the night before his trip to Paris.

there’s not much meaningful dialogue or anything like that but it’s funny, and it’s very..random…

during the film, i thought i was wasting my time but when it’s finished it’s actually quite good
and it’s shot in a very pretty toy-camera like quality

but you can find the movie HERE And streamed HERE and if the streamed link dies just go to youtube…and look for it

tintin

got to see tintin with my friend today

my friend thought it might have been boring but it was absolutely not!

i’ve never read any of the comic books but now i wish as a child i had indulged in them..but it’s never too late

my friend recently bought the Snoopy x Moleskin 50th year anniversary notebooks. i hope they’ll release a set of notebooks for tintin! they should! because he’s a journalist after all~~

and seriously, for an alcoholic, captain haddock sure gets things done

Love Actually

i kept thinking that i’ve never seen this movie when i have! i have!
many times but i could never recall the plot for some odd reason

so the other night i watched it again….
and i loved the houses and the apartments!

i love this apartment so much…

i’ve read somewhere that as a writer it is very important not to fantasize about this “writer’s life style” that one must lead to become a writer.. i definitely agree with it because everyone has different habits but it’s hard to not romanticize the writing life style when colin firth is writing in a cozy navy sweater on a little cottage somewhere in france..

for xmas this year i would like a type writer, not the new ones, an old one…that makes that clinking sound and a bell to congratulate you when you’ve finished a line
