Movie Monday: Convento - SXSW 2011 Accepted Film

Movie Monday: "Convento" ...showed at SXSW 2011...interesting score...trailers and synopses don't do it justice, imho...has a lot to say about sustainability/recycline, maybe?

if it makes it into distribution, I'd recommend that you see it. :)

Movie Monday, pt.1: Kumare Movie Teaser

Saw this movie Sunday at 3 p.m. as part of SXSW Film.

It raised a couple of questions for me about the people who seek leadership from others of from processes for their lives, and there's a great line in it about the difference between tools and symbols... on the critical side, I felt it stayed a bit ...too long focused on the impersonation, and didn't tease out people's reactions after the "unveiling".

Personally, I think it will get a wider release, so you may want to wait on this one, and catch some of the other SXSW, or off-SXSW, events instead.

RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

12 minute video, found via my sister... quite awesome, imho, and gets you thinking about several issues surrounding our out-dated education system.

Tune Tuesday: Leonard Cohen - "Hallelujah"

OK.. looks like Queen got "embedding disabled".. so, here's an alternate offering for Tune Tuesday. I'd probably have a much easier time singing this than "Somebody to Love" any ways..

Tune Tuesday: Queen- "Somebody to Love"

always liked this song, and it was the first thing playing on Pandora when I sat down to the computer. Certainly goes along with my lonely heart pining this year. Enjoy! :)

Movie Monday: "Nougat"

Movie Monday: Nougat.

Oh, yeaaah...! First saw this at a Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, like 10 years ago, and I still remember the awesome belly laugh... :)

Clamoring to Be Heard

"God, grant that I may seek rather to . . . understand, than to be understood . . ."

...a billion voices all wanting to be heard, but forgetting to take the time to listen - myself, included... and the one voice I tune out the most is my own - so unaware, at times, of what I'm saying...

Carmina Burana [ O Fortuna ～ Fortune plango vulnera ]

Tune Tuesday's upon us... This song has always struck me as epic.

...and now, I guess I have an image to go along with it. Have yet to see this particular opera, but looks kind of interesting...
