Louise Bourgeois, “Sunday Afternoons” via seensense (via nodalpoint) |

I intend to write more about this film over coming months and years. I feel there is so much to say about it. I think it’s a masterpiece. It’s such a powerful, profound and brilliantly entertaining work. There’s so much going on. I’m teaching it for adaptation. I love it.
It’s a coruscating dissection of the American Dream. It’s Cronenberg’s Blue Velvet. And as good as that movie. So watch this space. I really want to go into this film for Bright Wall/Dark Room and I feel drawn to it academically, so just looking at outlets for talking about it - journals and conferences looking at violence, adaptation, cronenberg, the american dream.
For now. Just watching it again because I haven’t seen it in a while, but it hangs over me, haunts me, inspires me, challenges me and gets me excited about writing, movies and teaching writing and movies.
So good.
Thanks to a fan girl post I wrote about Julie Delpy a while back (you can read it here), HuffPost Live asked me to sit down with her and Richard Linklater tonight to discuss “Before Midnight.”
The segment airs at 7:30pm EST, and you can watch it here. I am literally so excited, I might not be able to talk when it goes live. Julie Delpy is one of my idols. I am obsessed with her. She is gorgeous. And brilliant. And funny.
Not to mention that “Before Sunrise” and “Before Sunset” might be the only movies I can watch endlessly, on repeat, and never stop loving.
In case you missed it this weekend, definitely check out this fantastic profile of Delpy in the New York Times Magazine. And watch me tonight!
I just need to say this.
2013 has been a horrible year for me. My life has been shattered, in multiple ways, I’ve had shit thrown at me in all directions, and I’ve managed to survive all of this, by myself.
If there is anything I have learned, so far, is I am so much stronger and powerful than I ever thought.
You can cheat on me, spend your days telling me I am a terrible person, hurt my child, even rob me, and I will still persevere.
I am terrified, I am sad, but I am resilient. And I refuse to let anyone ruin me.
Take my fucking laptop, mini’s tablet, but I fucking dare you to ruin me.
See, I may be hurting, but I am not broken.
Fuck you.
will they, though
Seriously, the fact that some people call that man “daddy” actually bothers me more than the Yahoo deal. I don’t like it, but it’s business. Calling a man you don’t even know “daddy” on the other hand…
‘Shaun of the Dead’ Photo-a-day / Shoot Day 7 / May 18th, 2003
When the film was released we made ‘Foree Electric’ badges for all the directors and writers who gave us press quotes – George A. Romero, Sam Raimi, Guillermo Del Toro, Peter Jackson, Stephen King, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. So there was a great batch of name tags made that read simply George, Sam, Guillermo, Peter, Stephen, Robert & Quentin. They were all ranked as assistant manager. George wore his for the entire ‘Land Of The Dead’ shoot.
One time I was out with a friend, discussing the meaning of life - which means I was having my weekly existential crisis - and about 30 minutes into our one sided conversation my friend laid her hand on my hand and said, “Alesia, get your depression away from my cocktail.”
And I cracked the fuck up.
Everyone needs friends that are brave enough to tell you when to bottle up your nonsense.
