... fiction is the way to go, even if it may/will produce trashy results.

- have been to the movie theatre for the third time in the last three days: colma.. is amazing. (genuine.) shot on video - great directing and nice songs. the brave one seemed to convey a sick moral message -but surprisingly not seen anything complaining of that side in the reviews- . in to the wild is a good movie, hitting you on the right spot. manufactured landscapes is probably gonna be the next one.

- revisiting mdotstrange's work is obsessively soothing. and almnost every day celine and julie go boating blog is full of interesting news on new and old cinema. i wonder about that movie LIFE IS SHORT 2. nasil bir film acaba, read that with some scenes it is reminiscent of miranda july's last film which i liked quiet a lot except some parts/dialogs -like the one with a fish in a plastic bag -.

- ... i still wanna mention about weerasethakul's movie, syndromes and a century. it, somehow looks/feels so contemporary, as if springing out from the middle as the soul of 00 years, of this decade. but so timeless/classical since it s coming from the heart of now, i guess.

- maybe i m becoming a "true" cinephile that it's not happening without a cost,.. after seeing so many good movies, my cherished top 10 movies list soluklasiyor. or a different light is replacing sometime, the diffusing one. remembering the last chrysanthemums from mizoguchi, i feel mesmerized, and maybe even more with his ugetsu monogatari. ozu's banshun was nice to watch, last friday night, but after all i am kind of immune to ozu maybe, it was, just, very good. still, tokyo story and early summer are perhaps the two i cherish more.

- lists of movies (reminiscent), maps of imaginary countries (z), i ve thought of putting together a list of scenes where a song is sung or lipsynched in a movie,.. i wont, except providing the three that made me think such a list is possible : cria cuervos, porque te vas. (such a sad movie, sadness of kids, childhood; i also like another seen from this movie a lot, where the grandma of the house and Ana are "talking" in front of the photos on the wall.) cha no aji, yama yo. (recently seen that one, such a funny and lovely movie, cha no aji.) and one of my all time favorite scenes, it was great to find it on youtube after more than a year. (it's no surprise to me the only scene from that movie available on youtube is that one.) dong, calypso (by ge lan). i can't really tell why i like this scene so much, nothing in visuals look particularly familiar. not just about the sound for sure.

- i ll go watch the calypso scene again...

yapip bozmak, hatta bozup birakmak galiba hic dokunmamaktan daha iyi cogu (/?her) zaman.
(ama) donup bakinca beyazligi/yalinligi sinir bozucu da olabiliyor olsa da israr mi etmeli. ne tarafa bakmali kendini bulmak icin; geriye mi ileriye mi. gozu kapayip mi devam etmeli. nereye dusuyor bunca laf arasinda sessizlik: altina dusen golgesi mi herseyin, ustte kalan yoklugu mu. iyilik icin iyi hissetmek, iyi hissetmek icin iyiyim demek lazimsa...



like this, i can stay alive as long as the music goes on, but when it stops i freeze. and there is a day between two movies always. shooting through all, do i succeed anything ? now the bullet has some grey, some blue, some blood some tissue. a bullet.. hits who? goes where.

writing after a long time, from the tiny hole you opened on your shell to leak it out, comes in the worries as you type, as fast as you type. like writing the first poem of a language.

i ve been afraid of writing for so many reasons, wanted to avoid the temporary reliefs it brings but should it really be avoided... what's permanent anyway. and maybe not like this often more, but in one way or the other, i should write, i feel. stepping into stream of words, is good, therefore.
