“Now i’ve found a whole new respect and admiration for ballet dancers…”

Last night Lulu and i decided to watch Black Swan. And the movie was brilliant, amazing, left us speechless. The photography and editing were also another thing that i loved, it evolved you within each minute.The way it psychologically played with our minds was perfect and Natalie Portman’s performance was amazing. And the Rodarte costumes were out of this world. We are still like in mute (Lulu and i). Lulu and i decided that she should wear something feminine, not to short and not revealing. Saying that, we decided it was appropriate to  wear this Dolce & Gabbana floral dress from the fall 2010 collection, paired with  a Judith Leiber heart shaped clutch and leopard print Christian Louboutin heels. When we went out, when the movie ended, Lulu couldn’t stop swirling around and doing some “ballet moves” (she says) and playing with her skirt going in circles. And this is part of my “Iconic-Movies-to-watch-list”. My favorite scene above.
1. Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
2. Edward Scissorhands.

“Oooh and i’m still on the couch…”

1. Breakfast at Tiffany's Done.
2. Edward Scissorhands Done.
3. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Done.

This movie was part of my Halloween movie fest (that’s how i called it), oh and let me tell you, Baby Jane is pure evil. Everything she sang “'I’ve writing a letter to daddy” my nerves flew higher and above, it was so creepy in her own weird way that it was brilliant (i think). As for Joan Crawford, or Blanche Hudson, well what can i say, poor little girl. I’m always fascinated by the villain on the film. More intriguing, more clever, and always entertaining.

 

Down 3, Up 7.

“Halloween memories…”

Last night i watched The Shinning, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, The Exorcist, Diary of the Deaths, and then i don’t know how i could fell asleep, my mind was so disturbed by then. That was all my Halloween. Ohhh i already miss Halloween… Well until next year.

“Oh my dear Halloween… you’re just around the corner”

What have all of you planned for Halloween?. ME?, i’m just gonna lay on the couch and watch my own personal horror movie fest wearing a lace mask (that i have to make by tomorrow) and Dali-esqe painted mustache.
Here’s the list of movies that i’ll be watching all night in Halloween:
1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
2. Psycho.
3. Diary of the Dead.
4. The Birds.
5. The Ninth Gate.
6. Friday the 13th (1980’s version).
7. Pulp Fiction.
8. The Exorcist (1973’s version).
9. The Shining.
10. The Silence of the Lambs.

Spooky… *evil laugh*.

(it reads: “Trick or Treat. Trick or Treat. Halloween is here. Time to dress up, candy, fun. It comes once a year. Trick or Treat. Trick or Treat. Halloween is here.)

“Well, the couch is pretty comfortable…”

1. Breakfast at Tiffany’s. –Done.
2. Edward Scissorhands. – Done.

Remember the post about the iconic movies i started to watch?. Well, i saw Edward Scissorhands the other day, and i found myself drowned by the idea of the existence of a human being pushed away due to the fact that he’s different. A human being who can’t receive love because he’s different. A human being who knows he can’t be normal. Doesn’t it makes you think?. Doesn’t it makes you be absorbed into a fantasy land where you can be able to create your own persona?. The whole message was brilliant. I absorbed everything. At the end the concept of being normal is being abnormal. Tim Burton is a GENIOUS. The costumes where really interesting. I saw Rei Kawakubo’s work for Commes des Garçons mixed with Miuccia Prada’s designs. Weird combination huh?…  I also loved the ice dance (snowy) scene where Kim moves in the flowing snow (ice), the scene was beautiful, and also this part:
Kim: Hold me.
Edward: I can’t.

 

My goal is to watch at least 10 iconic movies. Down 2, 8 up.

Which one do you recommend?

“Ooh, i rather sit on the couch and feel like an old man, watching movies…”

Maybe you’ll need to know that i’m very much of a loner and that i rather watch movies or the history channel than going out. And i decided that during my free time i’ll enjoy some iconic movies and maybe to get some inspiration of to draw or write. So i started with Breakfast at Tiffany’s and let me tell you, i’ve watched it 3 times last Sunday and ooooooooh i’m in love with Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak. I love this part of the movie when Holly enters by the window to Paul’s apartment and they say:
Holly Golightly: it’s alright. It’s only me.
Paul Varjak: Uh… Now wait a minute, Miss… uh…
Holly Golightly: Golightly. Holly Golightly. I live downstairs. We met this morning, remember?
Paul Varjak: Yeah.
…
Aren’t they amazingly lovely?

Before watching this movie i never really understood what was the boom with Audrey Hepburn at all, but now i quite do. Her innocence is beyond looks. The beginning, the moon river scene and the final scene are completely beautiful. The idea of she seated on the edge of her window in the movie singing Moon River is sickly obsessive. Aren’t you already quite in love with the movie?. And the final scene is like the cherry on top of an extra sugar, with double vanilla frost cake.

 
Thanks Truman Capote for writing this novel and Blake Edwards for bringing me this wonderful movie.
