Things I Need…

…Again

New York Times crossword. Everyday.

Paste Magazine. Emphasis on the magazine part.

Good Chinese food within city limits of my house. Particular this. And this.

Time to watch at least half a dozen movies a week.

Lots more of this.

More time here.

…Now

Volunteering here.

A new foodie faux hipster blog, completely pretentious and shameless promoted to death.

A pair of Chuck Taylors that won’t fall apart.

A copy of Hugo (2011) to make me warm and fuzzy whenever I want. A copy of Seven Samurai (1954) to meet my nerdy film needs, and a copy of You Can’t Take it With You (1938) so I have another Jean Arthur film to swoon at.

Peaches. Lots. Of peaches.

Most of all, more time w/ the people I care about. Because everything else is a distant second in my book. <3

Real Talk with Russell Hammond

  • Russell Hammond: You, Aaron, are what it's all about. You're real. Your room is real. Your friends are real. Real, man, real. You know? Real. You're more important than all the silly machinery. Silly machinery. And you know it! In eleven years its going to be 1984, man. Think about that!
  • Aaron: Wanna see me feed a mouse to my snake?
  • Russell Hammond: Yes.

This one too I guess. It’s on roller skates, how does one say no? From Shall We Dance?

A scene from Swing Time with Fred and Ginger. I watched and rewatched this scene dozens of times for a paper, and several times more before and after that, but I still manage to fall into a trance ever time I see it. So many good things, and so much class.

Fun facts/details that make this scene:
- The scene took 47 takes since the dance is only two shots. Ginger’s feet were bruised and bleeding by the end.
- One of the first films to make a special dolly for moving the camera the way they did as Fred and Ginger ascended the stairs.
- The dance is a reoccurring theme from earlier in the movie. The one, two, three turn - one, two, three turn sneaks its way into all their dances in the movie, a subtle reminder of how they first met.
- We get a medley of some of the songs in the film here as well, ending with “Waltz in Swing Time,” a song from a major dance of theirs earlier in the film, except this time only Ginger leaves the scene, a somber sign of their breakup.
