Sinister: afternoon shooting: ink polaroid
by PKHINTZ 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

Here is one that was taken of me sitting in the garden. I am uncertain when it was taken--either Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. Each afternoon I sat in the chair by the rock wall; the only difference would be the height of the tiger lilies in the foreground. The slightly pained expression on my face is because I had had my appendix removed the Friday before this was taken. On Thursday I was stumbling and shambling through my life as usual until I felt a prick pricka in my side; the next day I was in the hospital. My eyes are closed as my head rests against the back of the chair; I wanted the sunshine to fall on me to warm me. Instead the sun forced my freckles out of their winter-hiding. Ah, that is a large book in my lap--it is about the rise and fall of modern art. With the dizzying combination of sunshine and painkillers, the ideas and words of that book bounced from my head onto the ground (but I do not think that they are in the photo). Instead of reading I had taken wagers with myself as to which daffodil would bloom first, or which ant would cross that leaf there, or which cloud would block off the sun's rays. I won the bet each time. Living and loving, Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Subtitles and pleasant surprises

Yes Yes Yes, I second both the Wong Kar Wai recommendations. For maximum effect, see Happy Together while you are Sad Alone. (Um, that sounds sarcastic but it's not!) I just missed seeing WKW's Fallen Angels in the theater so will have to try to find it on video. I also recommend another film out of HOng Kong called "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" -- cheesy title, but good film, and somewhat reminiscent of Kieslowski, my favorite director.

Sinister: Re: Brazilian sinister
by Carlos Souza 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

Hi John, Sorry for taking so long to answer. First of all I must say that I agree completely with you when you say that B&S lyrics are good poetry. I think that this is the most important quality that they have and it's very important for us to pay atention to the fact that we are suffering from a very dangerous disease nowadays: lack of poetry in our lives. Although everybody says that B&S lyrics/music has just sadness, I don't think I agree with them. So, what do I think about their songs? I think there are melancholy, compassion, beauty in their songs. Their characters are so wonderfully naive, their songs, just like pictures of ordinary lives took by beautiful eyes. Well, that's it.

"Baa, baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full; One for the master, and one for the dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane." Sorry, but i was just eating a packet of buttons...oh, and incidently, the sheep on the front was purple, not black. Maybe someone dropped their beetroot sandwich into the sheep dip... FAVOURITE NURSERY RHYMES PLEASE!!! This isn't mine, but i can't get it out of my head just now. Ah well, just ignore me and my meaningless ramblings...i'll soon go away (probably!) Debbie xxx.

Sinister: "Damn you, Flash Gordon!"
by Alan Prior 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

so i'm walking along Prince's Street one morning (this was ages ago, by the way), and i go into BHS (don't ask why). i go downstairs into the lighting department and you know how in shops like that you'd expect to hear cacky elevator muzak? Well, guess what was playing? Belle and Sebastian!!!!!!! Omigod! People must've thought i was daft cus i just stood there listening for the duration of the song. Mad. I also heard the god-like genius of the manics being played in there. would have thought that would've been too intensely intense for your average weekday shopper, but i guess i was wrong...ah well, stranger things have happened. After my Film Quote of the Day; "if i ever start refering to these as the best days of my life, remind me to kill myself", Rod wrote; >ooh! i know that one, but can't place it for the life of me. heathers? Ahahahahaha. You're wrong. I laugh only cos he did get Sarah's RAWK one. Bah. You think you're so clever... ; - ) (Rod, that is...Sarah's immensely classy, so there.) It was from 'Dazed and Confused', actually (not that embdy's interested). Such a cool film. Not watched it quite as many times as Star Wars, but getting there... Anyhoo, will stop boring yous all with my meaningless drivel... Yay! Parents going away for two weeks! Big, nay, HUGE parties will ensue...24 hour drunkenness and expected parallysis by the end of week 1. Ra! Only 10 days left of school EVER! (then... watch out Glasgow!) Hurrah for me. Big grin etc, etc... keep rocking like a big mad thing..... love, Debbie xxx. "...but it's okay.
