I don’t know if there is a purpose in me trying to document my daily life like this since I keep quitting it but here it goes, my second entry of this month. For some time I thought this could be like a reading journal, where I would talk about the books I’ve read, the movies I’ve seen but it seems as things go south I just shut into myself, then there is no need for self expression, there’s no need for anything.
This summer has been just the worst. Usually it’s the colder seasons that I dread the most, when things fall apart, but this summer has just been a complete breakdown in functions.
Last year in August 5 I began going to movies again with The Bling Ring as my first film. That was a bit disappointing. Next cycle began with Guardians of the Galaxy, so far seems to be more promising though I have to say so far the year has not been so good. Cinematic quality has been lacking, cannot be compared.
For some time I gave up on reading The Stand but reading some of the negative reviews kinda changed my mind. They didn’t say what I thought they would say. Also things seem a lot more interesting now. Now that they’ve done wandering and some action + conflict seems to be going. Rise and Fall of Communism has been disappointing me these days. I guess what I really wanted after finishing The Gulag Archipelago was a smack-down on communism.
My next weeks film will be The Fault in our Stars. Yes, I know what I said, that it would be the last film that I would see and for some time I thought of seeing The Giver but then I just said no. I can’t exactly spell out my problem with The Fault in our Stars as I have not even read the book to have some basis for my irrational rage for it. We’ll see what will be our opinion after the film. Then next week I will, finally, see Under the Skin. Although in some parts it came out in April, and has already come out on dvd, so is procurable through illicit means, but I’m trying to cut back on all that.
The thoughts just keep pouring in. Maybe if I keep this at a one post per week minimum they this journal won’t be so neglected. And I know this is way too early in the year to think about it but I just have to write it down. Here so far is how I would put my favourite movies of 2014:
1 The Double
2 Ekskursante
3 The Lego Movie
4 The Grand Budapest Hotel
Those are the movies that are definitely on the list but some of the seen might be added later.
Also these days I’m more satisfied with my German. Like it’s nowhere near the absurdly optimistic level that I had when going in this last year but I feel I’m getting the hang of this. So NOW by next year I will definitely have this thing down. This time. Though probably not.
