WATCH THIS

I had heard about this vid before, but only saw it now thanks to anthropologist:

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

Basically, this guy (sponsored by Stride Gum) filmed himself dancing all over the world. When I say all over the world, I mean ALL OVER THE WORLD. The best part is when other people join him.

This video will restore your faith in humanity. -nods-


wow, I posted two dancing videos in a row.

Alameda County library patrons can check out passes to the Asian Art Museum in SF
The libraries recently purchased annual passes to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco that are available for checkout. Each pass is good for two adults.

ooh. I haven't been to the new Asian Art Museum (went before they moved into a new building) so free admission is yay

over and over and over and over and over

I will make a patriotic American Independence Day post. I promise you, random American spirit guilt! I am thinking of poem selections right now!

But right now: meme time.

Should I be wary of justbolognese's cooking?

Oh, and while making a random comment about Janus on a journal, I made the connection Janus --> Janus Films --> The Criterion Collection.
I am on my way to film geekdom!
So, The Criterion Collection is a DVD distribution company (is it US only? I'm not sure) that releases great prints (usually with lots of great extras) of films they consider "important," That doesn't mean "great" - Armageddon is in there to represent the '90's blockbuster, and The Beastie Boys video anthology is there to rep the music vids. But a lot of the films they release are classics from around the world.
And if anyone remembers the short-lived TV show The Knights of Prosperity, one of my favorite moments was when one of the characters said that he would use some of the stolen money to buy DVDs from the Criterion Collection.
So, this prompted a Clusty search for that blog where the guy is trying to watch all the DVDs in the Criterion Collection. I found out that they have a blog!
I also found what I was looking for.

Re-read the post on Laurence Olivier's Hamlet, and I just ( had to copy-paste a few things )

also, points for this Office UK reference in the Third Man post:
He may as well put a sign on his door reading "Gareth Keenan Investigates!"

I kind of want to do a similar thing. But I only watch movies that are interesting to me. (strike one point for elite film geekdom)
Maybe I'll just make a list of Criterion movies I've seen. Ask for a full review/discussion or just chat about the clothes in a movie or anything. I like these movies a lot, and I want to know if anyone else has seen them or is interested in them.

( yay listage makes me feel strangely productive )

now, on to read another I'm-going-to-watch-the-Criterion-Collection blog

while we're on the subject of classic films...
