Gun Crazy
A recent screening: Gun Crazy, continuing my old-school kick after watching Laura and The 39 Steps a while ago. I didn’t like the female lead character in this one much, but the guy was cool. Some of these old movies still feel so weird in how they just END. There’s not a lot of the modern-day closure process that I’m used to.
Old photos from the Festival of San Fermín. Lately I’m enjoying the Slate/Magnum galleries more than The Big Picture (which also has some nice photos from San Fermín this year). It’s a little less newsy, more old-school and artsy, I guess.

Poets put lovers under trees, and nobody asks where that tree came from. Why can’t Kubrick put his aging man in a bedroom?

Carter Corsets, woman with stars and stripes background, by Victor Keppler. I love this photo.
Surviving the Death Race – Video Library – The New York Times
One of those amazing/idiotic events with running, crawling through mud, navigating barbed wire, chopping wood, boiling eggs, trivia, brain puzzles, etc. I’m intrigued…

The Coolness Index
Last.fm tracking deleted scrobbles and “guilty pleasure” tags to figure out which musicians are the least cool. (via)
Back cover of Can’t Slow Down. Richie was ahead of his time, fashion-wise.
Once the music plays, it creates me.
I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love.

Scott Weaver creates a San Francisco toothpick city:
The lesson in this is, ‘What do we do with our time?’. And I love to create. I love to show people what can be done in life if you spend time to create. Use your imagination.
