filmnoir:
A: It is the belief that a two-thousand-year-old jewish zombie, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-women was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple of a magical tree in a wonderland.

True words spoken there, but I admit I have to work hard to stop myself feeling like I’m better or more superior to many of the customers that come into our store. Case in point, a guy comes in today looking for a PS3 controller. We phoned another nearby store but they’re...
Long post 16 fun facts about me!
cultshasha:
16. As a child I had that Disney film The Rescuers Down Under on video. You know the one with the mice… Anyway I loved it and pretended to actually be in the film while I watched it in my living room when I was alone in the house. I don’t mean I just sat there and day dreamed I fully acted out scenes and spoke lines aloud. It was a sad, but even sadder was the fact that those cartoon...
James Bond & Miss Moneypenny
Growing up with T.V. and film has meant that I have often romanticized my life and the relationships I’ve had with other people. This was particularly true in my teens when I would draw parallels between relationships and situations I had with the people around me, in particularromantic ones with girls, to characters and situations from T.V. shows and film. I guess I did this because it...

Rules for directing by Jim Jarmusch:
lickystickypicky:
Rule #1: There are no rules. There are as many ways to make a film as there are potential filmmakers. It’s an open form. Anyway, I would personally never presume to tell anyone else what to do or how to do anything. To me that’s like telling someone else what their religious beliefs should be. Fuck that. That’s against my personal philosophy—more of a code than...

Morris Dance
cultshasha:
I think I saw on the news this afternoon that they want Morris dancing to feature in the 2012 Olympic games ceremony. I say “think” I was tired and shoving into a bacon and egg sandwich, shouldn’t of bothered putting the telly on really, they could have been talking about how Morris dancing saved humanity from the evil alien horde. I wasn’t paying much attention.
Anyway the...
