Pink! You've gone and painted it pink!

[squirmelia]

Saturday's Zokutou meet included writing a manifesto (and shouting out bits of it in Covent Garden) with eldar, verlaine, mcfie, and elvichar. We hung out at the ICA. Some lovely exhibitions there as usual, such as photos of two rather different towns in different countries, where all the bulbs in the streetlamps have been replaced by those from the other town. Saturday night, I ended up seeing a film - Adaptation.

On Sunday, verlaine and I scoured the streets of London for the pink tank that we'd seen a photo of the day before. After many chirping subways with flaking ceilings, the tank was found on a desolate piece of land on a street corner. It was still bright pink, barbified, but with moss growing on it, so we climbed it.

anne here--jodi's friend state side.

you make good points about the charlie/donald
character as same person. while i have followed
many "good/evil twin" storylines on soap operas,
i just didn't read THIS movie character as 2 sides
of the same person--not until the death scene.

i guess that's b/c i am a poorer pop culture junkie
than i imagine myself to be--
i know next to NOTHING about kaufman to begin with.
hey--my momma done raised no fool,
but i watched the movie for 2hrs. thinking,
"how can he treat his BROTHER that way?"

now WE may all treat OURSELVES "that way," but
i wasn't going there. i thought charlie was a MEAN PERSON.

when i re-watch this movie, as i must (on dvd,
with dir. comments) i will look at it as kaufman
denying/suppressing his own ego. thanks.
