Oh look! I returned to Tumblr because I made a .gif... a DRUNK BITCH .GIF! Are you ready, Drunk Bitch fandom?

Don't know who Drunk Bitch is? Watch this and FIND OUT. Want to stalk the lovely actress who plays Drunk Bitch? Go creep on her Tumblr.

If thee find the process of making thine Film difficult, do not think it a deficiency of thyself, for it may be it is not thyself that thou should alter but thou should alter the type of Film to that which shall be pleasing for thee to make.

Outer Space (Peter Tscherkassky, 1999)

Watch here.

[thescreenwritersblues]

I watched this film about year ago, and I remember HATING it (maybe not hating, but disliking... a lot). I can totally appreciate it as a fine piece of filmmaking (Tscherkassky's technique is amazing), but there's something about the way the woman is treated as a result of the filmmaking that was extremely unsettling to me... but then, that was probably the point. Meh.

Don't be the Lackey to the rules of Color Temperature. For it is written that, "If you see the color red within a tree, let your Movie Camera see the whole tree as red as possible.

I remember writing a film paper about this film once...

Say not that, "The film did not come out." Film always comes out. Sometimes not the way you had expected.
