Jackie Brown

I love this movie. Pam Grier at her finest (yes, both connotations apply). As an aging flight attendant trying to get herself one last piece of the pie, or die trying, Jackie Brown is as ambitious as she is crafty. Killer cast: Robert Deniro, Bridget Fonda, Samuel Jackson, and Robert Forster. And of course with Tarantino, the soundtrack is a must have. This movie came out in 1997 with lukewarm attendance and reviews, but
over a decade later, I still find it to be an excellent heist film with a heart.

building cameras with my friend Jesse



I found a cool website http://www.matchboxpinhole.com/ that shows you step by step how to make a pinhole matchbox camera, with most of the materials already being in your home. cool little project if you have about an hour and a half to kill.

dayvan cowboy



free-falling is something I am utterly terrified of. whether it has to do with the unnerving feeling of your insides engulfing into itself as if a black hole has spawned in the pit of your loin, or maybe a rational fear of plummeting miles towards the Earth to certain death. Either way, this video is one of my favorite music videos: A) it is boards of canada, a group that is highly influenced by the film board of Canada for funding of independent films in the areas of education, politics, art, music, and culture, and B) The mood of their song dayvan cowboy makes a perfect soundtrack for falling through air...above the Earth's atmosphere nonetheless. This record breaking free fall is footage of Joseph Kittinger in 1960 as part of Project Excelsior, which was a project to test the human condition during these high-altitude parachute jumps. Obviously from jump to water scene, is different footage, but needless to say the jump itself is a fall of epic proportions. Enjoy.

STREETWISE

Streetwise documents the lives of young runaways that fled to Seattle in the early 80s, and follows the kids through their bouts with drugs, prostitution and rivalry. Shit is kinda long, and not something you could really watch at work. But flag the post and return to it after you’ve gotten stoned and have an hour on the couch.
