Tuesday Stuff like Films and Fashion




So tonight the Honolulu International Film Festival Spring Showcase continues. I used to be a huge fan of Twin Peaks but am not so hot on the horror tip anymore. Sigh. According to Suren in LA:

Inland Empire is Lynch at his best - funny, thoughtful, eerie, beautiful, dark, deeply disturbing, and terrifying in a way that few horror films have ever affected me. The film is a slow burn, taking its time (about 3 hours), leaping through realities and bizarre encounters, continually keeping the audience asking themselves what reality they are experiencing, and what that reality means.

Sounds good. OH! Don't forget the Betsey Johnson fashion show event at Pearl tonight too. Makana is playing! You know how I feel about that.
'FASHION SHOW FOR THE EARTH'

Honolulu Film Fest according to, um, me.


Saw Cats Of Mirikitani today. What made me enjoy this film so much was Jimmy Mirikitani himself. His stories, his observations. His personality. His TALENT. Linda, the director who films this piece for over a year of following Jimmy around New York city and some other places, was a bit too doting for my taste. The dude doesn't need help. He needs to express himself. If she eased up only slightly and let the story unfold on its own (and she does for the most part-- brilliant work) then it would get a perfect 10 in my book.

Outfuckingstanding for the first day. I'm gonna check out David Lynch's stuff on Tuesday.

Nice afternoon too today, btw. Sooo windy. Since I insisted of parking on the roof of the parking garage at Dole today guess what time it was. Guess!
KITE time. :)


Matt Costa tonight. I can't tell you how excited I am for this performance. I know he was just here but it really feels like you can never get enough of his show. Like Makana. Except... how much luckier could I get that Makana lives HERE. Oh, I don't know.... how about having him and Matt Costa playing together. Tonight. !!!
