Today in my Freshmen Film class we watched Chinatown. This was the first time that I have seen this movie and it was absolutely fantastic. Jack Nicholson is amazing and the storyline is superb. Jack's character was so cool also, I want to be him. I am seriously going to miss my Film Class next semester. Not only do we not do any real work but I have seen SO many movies that I've always wanted to but never had the chance to see. Nearly every movie we have watched in that class has been absolutely fantastic. My teacher picks out movies to show us not only because she thinks we would enjoy them and she likes them but because they are truly important movies in film making history. I'm never going to remember the titles of them all but from what I can remember we watched:
A silent Salvador Dali experimental Film (Experimental, so...thats about it, but it was good)
The Dictator (Charlie Chaplin)
Metropolis (Amazing)
Sunset Boulevard (Soooo good, this was the first time I had seen it)
Badlands (Martin Sheen)
Suspira (Awesome sound track to a bizaar as hell movie we watched on Halloween. It was great)
Delicatessen
Chinatown ('nuff said)
And some other movie about the life of the director...I can't remember what it was called but it was great.
On a completly unrelated note this weekend should be pretty rad. On Friday I am going with my friend Geoff (I met him the first day of school, he was in my orientation ground and now we ARE FRIENDS FOREVER) to this BBoy event. I don't really know what it is but he's obsessed with breakdancing and damn good himself so we are going to check that out. It should be fun. Every now and then I go with him to the Levitt (Auditorium in Gershman Building) to practice breakdancing. I can't really do anything but he's teachin' and it's a lot of fun.
THEN, on Saturday I am seeing M.I.A.. Ahhh, I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun. And, uh, get her newest CD if you can, Kala. It's totes rad, obvi.
G00T BAI
This is my bro Yis Goodman's work. He has probably the coolest graffiti character style I've ever seen. I love his stuff.

I think I know which Dali movie you're talking about
is it the one named after the type of dog's eye they slit at the beginning with a razor?
and there's a weird part where a dude "steals" a lady's underarm hair and it shows up where his mouth should be and they all just end up dead in the sand with ants on them (wouldn't be Dali without those damn ants)
If it's not, then uh, don't watch that thing
or do, I guess, whatever you're into
Pretty much my advice is either do or do not watch that Dali film
very clear
You are too right, sir.
Un Chien Andalou
yea, Un Chien Andalou was pretty damn wierd, Chinatown is a dope movie tho, I gotta watch it again, its very layered
