La Jetée

Chris Marker made this beautiful short film in 1962, based on still pictures. It is what later inspired Terry Gilliam into making his Twelve Monkies.
















In the movie, the survivors of a destroyed Paris in the aftermath of World War III live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. They research time travel, hoping to send someone back before the devastating war to recover food, medicine, or energy for the present, "to summon the past and future to the aid of the present." The traveler is a male prisoner; his vague but obsessive childhood memory of witnessing a woman (Hélène Chatelain) during a violent incident on the boarding platform ("The Jetty") at Orly Airport is used as the key to his journey back in time.
He is thrown back to the past again and again. He repeatedly meets and speaks to the woman who was present at the terminal. After his successful passages to the past, the experimenters attempt to send him into the deep future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society. On his return, he is cast aside by his jailers to die. Before he can be executed, he is contacted by the people of the future, who offer to help him escape to their time, but he asks to be returned to the time of his childhood. He is returned, only to find the violent incident he partially witnessed as a child was his own death as an adult.

christmaspictures and christmasvideos

okey, with this cutest/dorkiest slideshowpicturesofreindeer-video I (might) bring you the/a feeling of christmas:
I am not such a terrible christmasromantic, really. dont know what got into me lately.

maybe it's all the snow (its three times this amount now):

maybe its the fact that I get to be around the coolest kid all the time: (OBS! not my own, my sister's)


maybe its because I spent weeks before december started making this thing for my sister, her boyfriend and eskil:

1st of december I had made a christmasmix for them, a couple of the songs on it was:
Badly Drawn Boy - Donna & Blitzen (video above)

last years christmas song by the raveonettes. a true hit in denmark. (this is not the greatest video either unfortunately)
The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song


Rosemary Clooney, Tony Randall & Tab Hunter - I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm

I want nothing but the love of the next stranger who walks through that door

PHIARY



after flickr got really messy and ugly, I have been looking for something smarter and more aestetically pleasing place to upload my pictures.

I have seen Phiary.com in use for a while, but havent really started appreciating it until very recently. I sent a request a while ago for an invitation through their page, but that didnt pay off, really. it is still in test-mode before they let more people in.

today I got in touch with one of the (norwegian) people behind to ask for an invitation, got a positive reply and within the evening (or some time soon) I think my phiary will be up and running. hopefully.

horray.

I believe this will encourage for daily photography. sweden has had something similar to this for ages. bilddagboken.se, but it is ugly as fuck.

I WAN'T YOU TO GET MAD

Photobucket
I love this scene in the movie Network. It's so fucking good. This was 1976 and it's still true today.
