Live for the future, long for the past.

Drinks at Tom's Little Cancer Shack last evening with LG and DJ Max led to interesting conversations and possible new avenues of creativity, which in turn led to lack of sleep later that evening. It didn't help that I was interrupted with a phone request to join them in the midst of watching Wong Kar Wai's 2046. A sequel of sorts to In the Mood For Love, these two films contain the sexiest cells of celluloid ever digitized onto the Digital Versatile Disc medium. Do yourself a favour. Rent both. Heat up your hot water bottle. Unplug the phones.



After days of dragging Quicktime arrows through monotonous amateur porn mpegs to reach their money shots, it was refreshing to give myself over to Kar Wai's world. It's where I want to be. A world that combines emotional restraint and physical abandon. All played out with the occasional sweeping slow motion shot and string accompaniment. Men in impecably tailored suits accompanying women with 60's beehive hairdos and long form-fitting dresses into bedrooms with beautifully patterned wallpaper. *swoon*



The wallpaper is the key.
