Work has been slow lately. So I am using my precious internship down time to work on cleaning up and redesigning this place a bit, and hopefully add some new content soon. But for the most part, the site is finished now, probably. I think the writings page may be pretty interesting, but I'm still internalizing it/working out the kinks in my mind, so it may be a while before that sees any progress.
Over the weekend I watched "The Brothers Bloom" with my dad. I was expecting it to be a glitzy rehash of "The Sting", but I was surprised by a fresh, fanciful story with genuine heartfelt moments. The film deals with the dynamics of this father-son relationship between the older and younger Bloom, and the idea of "growing up" as sort of a continual process. Most people will probably draw connections between 'Bloom' and Wes Anderson films, mostly because its style is time transcendent, and the cinematography is heavily influenced by 70s Italian films. If you get a chance, check this out on DVD. It's a good movie to lose yourself in. And Adrien Brody is terrific, as always.
