Summer Hair

Okay fuck it.

I'm going to get my haircut short soon. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon.
Michelle Williams from The Baxter.

Except without the bangs because I think they would look goofy on me.

Weird Trait

I am a bit of a film addict. A whiz at pop culture trivia and an all around film geek. 

I watch so many movies and obsessively scour IMDb so much that I begin to recognize those character actors that appear in small parts of many films such as William Fichtner. I bet that name means nothing to you, but I can tell you that he was the corrupt bank clerk from the beginning of The Dark Knight, one of the experienced astronauts in Armageddon, the coach in Blades of Glory and the FBI agent from the TV show Prison Break [and I don't even watch that show]. I dare you to look him up. 

One of my favourites is Bill Nighy, because he seems like a really nice, funny guy. Plus I think he has cool glasses.

You may recognize him as Billy Mack from Love Actually
You might not recognize him as Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. 
I think my point is that you should find one of those actors that you see everywhere but doesn't seem to get any love, and maybe right a nice post about them or their work. That is merely a suggestion though, because it could also come across as weird and creepy... hmmm. But I think we can all agree that Brad Pitt and George Clooney and Tom Cruise are getting overrated. All who agree slap my hand now.

I'm procrastinating on my Film History paper.

Poster sale this week at school. My neighbour, Becca, and I checked it out today they had some interesting stuff along with underwhelming landscapes and generic stoner fare. 

Frankly I think that posters can be genuine, cheap art in a room... as long as it's framed nicely.

As far as my options are at the poster sale I'm intrigued by a few Fight Club and Dark Knight posters.

And here are some of my dream posters.






Most posters, whether it's for a movie or a band or whatever, are very well designed. I prefer ones with poppy colours like the Marie Antoinette and Darjeeling Limited posters. I'd pretty much kill for the Virgin Suicides poster, but it's pretty much my favourite movie and who wouldn't kill for their favourite movie poster?

Now I should probably get back to my essay...

"Gee, I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky"

The best dress in cinematic history: 

From Better Off Dead. This is the best picture I could find. You really must rent this to see all the gold, ruffled, shiny glory that is this dress.
And the back.

*Wink wink*

"We have to go back... to the future!"

Last year, some radio stations in my town came up with the idea of putting on outdoor movies in this square behind City Hall. Every Thursday they played classics from Casablanca to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. As well as some modern favourites, like the Princess Bride, and E.T.

Last Thursday, they kicked off this year with Back to the Future, and I can't help seeing some similarities in accessories from this Face Hunter guy.

We can live like Jack and Sally...

I find these shoes, from Forever 21, to be pretty cool.They're so goth in a Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" way.

Or like "Edward Scissorhands for some weird reason. 

Frankly the Victorian Goth look is very pretty to me, but mostly around October, when it's cold enough to pull off layers of lace and black.
