hi i've been barely keeping up with sinister as the apartment is so fucking hot that sitting down at the computer is pretty much the last thing i want to do generally. that and i've been addicted to a bandicoot named crash. it's only a prequel to what will happen when unjammer lammy comes out here in the states. i'm soooo ready. so anyway, at work i look at the top selling cds on amazon each week, and low and behold, tigermilk was at 23!!!!!! i nearly fell off my chair. let me say that it was listed above britney spears, which i found fairly impressive. and i can't believe it's at 13 on the uk charts. i know everyone else is so blase, but for a band on an independent label with no major backing and limited radio support, that's really amaziing. i'm so inundated with music industry shit all day, it's nice to realize that that many people choose the music they want to hear, rather than listen to anything that's playing. sigh. so on to the next rant. i can't understand how anyone could not like the blair witch project. it's totally different from anything else i've seen, it had such a complex story. i mean, i don't usually see a movie and then look up information on it and check the website and watch a false documentary days later. but it's different information. i don't know, it's this amazing complex world, where the parts you don't see are as important as the ones you do, sometimes more so. as for the person who couldn't imagine filming something when you were being attacked, why not? i admit, if something totally weird was happening, wouldn't you want to prove it? what about all those people who film tornados that are waaaay too close. and how exactly are you going to fight something that you can't see or find? in movies we expect people to have the right response rather than the human response. plus it's pretty scary, excrutiating at some points.

alright, i know i tend to find fault with chris' posts a lot, but this perhaps rubbed me the wrong way. maybe it's because i take shit from boys all day at film school, and we're not talking obvious stuff, more like the let-me-have-my-friend-who-is-a-boy-shoot-the-camera-because-i-have-yet-to-de velop-the-social-skills-to-accept-that-girls-are-human-beings. girls are not immune to good film!!! we don't learn about all bands from our boyfriends and we are capable of choosing movies we want to see without male influence!!! grrrr!!! i'm sure i will come off as something easily dismissed by those who need to hear this most, but my grievences are real and one day i'm going to go postal and hit someone on the head with a camera. this shoudl serve as a warning to everyone i know. so anyway, i don't think i garnered any crush votes, but this was, at least somewhat, related to b&s. xoxo megan mkl206@is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/26/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
