cheers, lovers


man, the longer i go in between posts, the more pressure i seem to put on myself for them to be like, groundbreaking or like, hilarious. so bear with me for the next few nights where i may have to write about something, anything, just to get my wings back into shape. so i can't think of a better way to jump back into this than by like, praising The Master, ken russell. i was talking to lucynell about ken earlier, and how he seized my brain at such an early age. well, here's a screen capture i took some time ago, from the incredible opera 'tommy.' it's a great, drifting, dreamy, hand-held camera shot... ken must've been riding next to the limo in the parallel lane. and hey, i know ann-margret was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Tommy's mother, but i want to go on the record saying that roger daltrey's acting job in the movie is largely overlooked. he is completely convincing, and compelling.
