AYAYAYAYAYA!
I just sent off my first version of a Table of Contents for (hopefully) my new book. I’m so nervous. The TOC was one of my more painful memories from the last book. I think I know what they are looking for and I think I gave them a nice outline. Now I just have […]

Um, Hi

We are all Raccoons!
SFIFF Movie Review: Princess Raccoon What a weird film. It’s sort of like a cross between a japanese folktale, mixed with Rocky Horror Picture Show, Japanese karaoke style, and a hint of a Queen rock opera. The story is a classic Romeo and Juliet love story. It’s sort of a tale of good vs evil, […]

Deerhoof meets Harry Smith
The Heaven and Earth Magic movie+live music from Deerhoof the other night at the Castro was a good time. The first movie, Heaven and Earth Magic, is a 60 minute black and white film from 1962 full of moving collage elements suspiciously reminiscent of Terry Gilliam’s animations in Monty Python. I wonder if Terry was […]

The Sun clouded over by foggy haze
SFIFF Movie Review: The Sun I was all worked up to see The Sun. I really enjoyed Alexander Sokurov’s 2002 one-shot-wonder Russian Ark and I was prepared for a visually stunning film. The film stock that he chose to use baffles me. It was grainy and cloudy, At first I thought it was our copy […]

God as a trickster
Movie review: Adam’s Apples I love this movie! This film is a side-splitting dark comedy involving neo nazis, God, brain tumors, crows, and apple cakes. I feel like no description I give for this movie can do it any justice but I’ll try anyway. It’s a movie about a small country church that serves as […]
