Going to drown in fannishness
Apr. 22nd, 2005 07:45 pmI'm in a good but lazy mood and I need to update this thing so I'm just gonna copy my journal from DA:
1. Got the last part of Piranha, Chapter 12 up. Phew! Chapter 13 might take a while, it needs quite a lot of work. I think (hope) it will be short though.
2. I just received the complete set of Buster Keaton's silent films on DVD. FINALLY! So I'll be submerged in that for a while. There's a lot of them I haven't seen yet. I love this guy, that's all, I love him. Though I love silent films in general, there's something about him in particular I connect with, not sure what. Probably his playful, inventive and satiric sense of humour, but also the wide-open spaciousness and cinematic beauty of many of his films, as well as his subtlety, intelligence and restraint, combined with the ability to fall on his head more artistically than most people, and ... gee, there are quite a few things actually, I'd better stop. :D
3. I discovered that Keaton's studio during the 1920s - which had been Chaplin's, before he moved on to something bigger - is only two miles from where I live, and they both did a lot of filming on location right around that area. So I'm going to be busy snooping around and seeing what's still left from the 1920s. ... I haven't felt this excited about anything in a long time. Who knows why? But I do.
4. And I thought I'd better buy Michel Ancel's game "Beyond Good & Evil" before it disappears off the face of the earth. Now we'll see if my video card will be up to the job. At least, I will when I get tired of real picture locations. :D
