stupid first world achievements and successes
cichlisuite replied to eugene's topic in General Banter
It really was. It was raining for whole week, and usually after such rain 'shrooms are popping out of the ground like crazy. Found a couple of muscarias as well. Those things look beautiful and every time I see them, I want to take a small bite of it and stroll around the woods looking at gnomes. But I haven't got the courage yet. what type of shrooms were you after? Edible ones, like parasol (Macrolepiota procera), penny buns (boletus edulis), russulas, mainly. -

Headed to the woods for three hours. Got a whole basket of 'shrooms and made good lunch. I love woods. -
Nah man, as soon as you remind yourself of her character and purpose, the hotness evaporates faster than pouring hot water on top of a heated stove. Unless you wanna rage f# and then abandon her in her consumerist misery...that could be acceptable.

lol, I was dogsitting about two months ago at my father's house. The dog is old as a fossil, and she is almost deaf. She studied my every move and followed me everywhere, especially the kitchen; definitely hoping to score a meal or a snack, since her strict diet imposing owners were not at home. Never thought spending time with a dog can be awkward.

I appreciate you elaborated you view, you rant is substantiated. There were some weird holes that weren't very clear. However, what I got out of it, was probably only due to literature I've been studying in the last couple of years which kind of explained to me certain scenes. I'm not saying there is some intellectual prerequisite needed in order to understand, it's just that since I've been into that, a lot more things make sense to me in life (basically everything people think or do). So, my view here might be biased, as was confirmed by several talks with people IRL about TwinPeaks that are unable to share my views, exclusively, unfortunately, because of the fact that this is supposed to be a mainstream work (of art) and shouldn't be so obscured. I tend not to agree on that (as it's not even a point to make, although I let them go with it) simply because there is way too much holding hands of viewers in general, particularly when it comes to films (or series). ((yeah I know, they have to make money)) However, you don't seem to have this sort of watering down when it comes to paintings for instance. An abstract painting is there, and its up to its viewer whether he/she likes it or not. And you don't have to explain it either, because it evokes certain feelings inside you that are your own, and by all means don't explain them, for they lose their substance trying to describe it with words. Now that is only an analogy to support my point. What I believe Lynch tried to achieve here was to convey fundamental feelings and concepts of fear, love, attraction, friendship, death, life, hate, etc... And they are all there. The characters themselves inhibit all of them (Gordon, Cooper) and some of them have only bad concepts in order to convey what happens when you let go of your purpose and you lose your inner compass so to speak. They are all present in our society. Some go live that road right down to the end (Roth and Leigh characters, Richard Horne), some are aware of their past and make the best out of it (brothers Horne), some are right at the doorstep but lack the strength and guidance (the meth-head young couple), some are bright and childish and make use of whatever means to enjoy social respect and power (Mitchum brothers), etc etc. Now the foremost characters here are Cooper, who is basically going through all the processes, is able to see things as they are, and is willing to explore them: he is a sort of Odysseus in this, he is the vehicle for the plot, he is able to choose. The other one is Hawk. Now here, unfortunately, he is not as a developed character as he could be, but he is there, and he understands. He has that perfect courage. He is wise. What happens is that Cooper was afraid in the lodge (previous seasons) and that had its consequences. He did not face his fear completely. He giant is the dweller on the threshold who tries to influence the events out of white lodge, there is also the long-nosed creature who is similar, but tries to influence out of the black lodge. The giant saw the irrepairable happening: namely Cooper could go down the 'dark' path or 'white' path. And he did both, in fact. So his dark side materialized as Bad Cooper, but his 'remains' were captured in the lodge, and the giant further influenced the events by taking another vehicle for him (Dougie) and the rest is known. A lot of Jungian stuff is here, basically all of his subconscious concepts are here, and I believe it was one of the main subjects Lynch worked out of. His form might be complicated, but that is what he chose. And since you kind of compared it to Kubrick's 2001, these are similar things indeed. However, Kubrick was more general and addressed the species of mankind and its one-sided development (technology), and Lynch is going more into the meat of it; the everyday person. These two views are the same, just as nature is in terms of fractals (things look similar if you map them across scales and dimensions). The form Lynch decided to take was quite spot on, although cryptic. There is a lot of staring blankly for instance. But these are (I believe) moments when a person is deeply in connection with his subconscience, when he is judging good or bad, dealing with feelings, trying to comprehend some inner jitters or whatever. You have seen it and experienced it, if not, you must be some kind of android:) There are forces of nature involved which are fascinating to science and spirit and are building blocks of either (electricity)....

In her debut she had a rather sinister vibe to her. in a good way of course, but I got 'over' her music ... soonish. However, her last two albums I just discovered a month ago, are absolutely amazing. If I found her interesting before, I absolutely love her music now. or more light-hearted (she's very lovely here):
-
There was some very subtle Mr.C vibe in there, you're right. Maybe Coop just wasn't as passionate a man with women, since Caroline happened to him (or at all) and Lynch wanted to show that... Which would make some sense, since he gave out a kind of asexual vibe in ep1 and 2. This kind of goes along with some of my thoughts on why Coop failed to have complete courage in the Lodge. Because, although a brave man, he was afraid of committing emotionally. btw. Kavinsky, love the Le Mepris avatar you have there.

That sex scene with Diane was something. He appeared to have zero enjoyment or just tense like it's his first time. It was clear when she covered his face, she couldn't look at him. Was it also because of her previous rape experience with evil Coo? Could be. It's like he wanted her to fall out of love with him.

flol in the first picture she really embraces how things are

I hate it everytime the bangbang neon light shows up.

That must be some kind of watmm inside joke again... didn't they announce 18 episodes?
-
Apart from music, the actors were given warm, lively and more dialogue. The characters were more human. What is interesting in ep3 is when one of the characters makes a remark others are silent and contemplating. There seem to be a certain measure of patience involved. Like when Cole is speaking about his dreams with Belucci, and Albert just says 'I'm beginning to remember'. In this particular scene I expected more FBI work, sharing thoughts, making conclusions- but everything remains in their heads.

You mean you watched the documentary about Jodorowski's Dune? afaik it was never made- and what a terrible mistake that was.
-
could be Lynch himself. I'm considering it as a ringtone

Man, it was so intense I had to get outside and have a smoke break the first second I saw him on stage.

I'll definitely check The Ascent, it looks interesting. I like Soviet films, so you're welcome if you have any more recommendations. You probably heard about Mikhail Kalatozov? Not exactly as unforgiving as the above mentioned, but nevertheless excellent storytelling.

Come and see is by far the best war movie ever. There is no political ballast, it's plain reality. That droning recon plane, the families in the marshes, the sinister partizans... I've seen it once and the images were literally imprinted in me. edit: the SU authorities didn't want to release it at first.

Just biked in to say that it's high time for the westerners to stop looking for approving measurements of academic strata in order to enjoy a work (of art). However, unfortunately for some, certain aspects of one's consciousness require some broadness in terms of understanding and acceptance. It might help to sink into yourself or read a couple of books. That is not to become indoctrinated or anything. More like calculus. The narrative in TP S03 is fairly obvious or even down-played (yes, dumbed-down). I mean if you compare it to intentionally cryptic works of people that cwmnrbrawncity detailed. Stop expecting to be spoon-fed everything. It's the reason current generations are so frustratingly inept. I'll get my coat.

Gerald Donald innit awesome

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 2 DVDs of intrigue and jargon. But super acting, screenplay and dramatization by everyone involved. Enjoyed thoroughly from start to finish. I was a big fan of spy genre when I was a kid.

When I make a solid plan and account with my client and my work is finished but then they let every single department to make changes that are completely off the mark and we go back and forth for two months with me trying to convince them it's pointless... not to mention this was 'urgent' two months ago... Basically everyone feels they have to be part of decision making and just spoil everything beyond recognition and I have to struggle to keep the design in check.

Studying Ralph Waldo Emerson. Just finished his Essays I and II. There are certain authors and works that should be a mandatory read for all inhabitants of the planet Earth. He is one of them.

Yeah really fantastic visualization. Still trying to make sense of the verses at the radio station and the bug entering the girl's mouth. I always thought the Giant was from the White Lodge. It would kind of make sense that the Lodge is actually both White and Dark and, as Hawk said, if you go in with incomplete courage, you get Bob inside of you. The Dweller on the Threshold would then "decide" what would become of you. This corresponds with some Jungian ideas. I wonder what would happen if Bob was already inside another body when one visited the Lodge. Laura's face inside the orb makes no sense whatsoever, if this is really 1946, and why was that old lady smiling about?
