About Me

“I want to break out — to leave this cycle of infection and death. I want to be taken in love: so taken that you and I, and death, and life, will be gathered inseparable, into the radiance of what we would become…. "
-Thomas Pynchon

My name is Grafton:
-musician
-poet
-environmental activist
-hopeless romantic
-cinephile (first step’s admitting it)

I really love the word “y’all.” And no, not because I’m from Georgia. I think it’s the way it sounds. Or maybe it’s because self-deprecating humor is way too funny for me.

One time, I sold out and got a tumblr: http://pianosfilledwithflames.tumblr.com.

Art keeps me sane. Allow me to share my thoughts with you. For the sake of sanity.

….y’all.

Oh man that's awesome! Although it's too bad Cosmopolis wasn't good.

You have been gone from Mubi for a long time - you should come back! I just saw you rated Cosmopolis... and several other movies from Cannes that I don't think have been released here yet. Did you get to go to Cannes??

A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire

Tennessee Williams is a playwright I have major issues with. His characters are too over-the-top; his symbolism is thick and heavy-handed (that’s why high school English classes read his plays – they…  read review

One of the most brilliantly made films I have ever seen. It is a film that challenges all films, especially those that were made in Hollywood that relied on the names of superstar actors and actresses…  read review

Bicycle Thieves

A brilliantly portrayed image of life in postwar Italy. Antonio Ricci’s job, future, and stability rest in the spokes of his precious bicycle, which is stolen shortly into the movie. With the stealing…  read review
