About Me

(( film may be my favorite kind of art, but music is a close second- and that order is perpetually changing ))

check out my
last.fm profile
and maybe we can be friends

and, after almost 2 years in the making,
here are my top 100 albums in order by artist :)

MUBI is one of my favorite websites, because i can indulge one of my favorite pleasures in this world (making lists, and editing lists, and finding lists, and discussing lists) and, at worst, be just like any other snobgeek

speaking of lists, i’ve been working on a list called SYNChronicles: syncing music to film. the goal is to collect suggestions for syncing both songs to scenes and albums to films. since i haven’t got very far, i created a thread in the forum to open up some talking ’n tinkering. totally open and looking forward to any ideas

(( discussion and dissection (and an occasional lack of discretion). scritch and scratch. ))

Latest Update

Chungking-express

Chungking Express

The initially amusing- but ultimately- nostalgic contrast of the song "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" paired with audible flight safety instructions. The playful chemistry amid textures of smoke and light; a soft, blurry dream, and a broken reflection of a cherished memory. That impending toy plane flying in the hands of the cop to catch the stewardess, arriving as inevitably the way her own life suddenly will.

    Thought so as well. Its good for me to research some short films as I'm planning on making some myself.

Thanks for the follow! I like your Synchronicles list. I'd suggest the music of Legowelt or Barry Adamson, mostly because they've composed music for imaginary films. They're evocative of retro sci-fi and detective noir, respectively, so they'd go with almost any movie in those genres.

    Thanks for the tip, I love finding new tunes to listen to for any reason :D Any ideas on your own scenes/films to sync Legowelt's or Adamson's music with?

    Legowelt's "Schaduw Horizon" soundtrack would go well with something like "2001" or "Solaris", I think. Adamson's "Moss Side Story" might be paired with "Scarface" (1932) or "The Naked City"... maybe even "Sin City"?

    Sorry forgot to mention, Legowelt records under many pseudonyms. "Schaduw Horizon" is under the name "Sammy Osmo".

The last movie that Andy and Lana Wachowski have directed was Speed Racer; before that, The Matrix Revolutions. I have not seen Speed Racer and cannot speak for it, but can remark that Cloud Atlas…  read review

1/3 of this film has to be silence, other than white noise. Much of the dialogue consists of characters saying nothing substantial, filling the air with words; other than the occasional, vulnerable…  read review

To get straight to the bottom line: Coraline is one of the most impressive stop-motion animations ever. In my mind, it even trumps The Nightmare Before Christmas, at least in terms of visuals (Henry…  read review
