Being there (1979) on IMDB

This is just like television, only you can see much further.
That’s what I said about the Internet.

What is there to say? Life, Death.
Money in a safe, cars speeding, boats jumping out of the water.
A little trick of mind

Tickle me, Elvis
Money is safe, cars, boats, me jumping off a building
A trick of the mind.

End-titles as a momento mori

The idea of watching End-titles. What is it?
Most times when I watch these boring movies on the tube, the channel-manager can’t wait to stretch the End-titles, mute the sound and tell me what’s coming next. End-titles is a momento-mori, it reminds us that we all die. TV-broadcasting wants to sell us the dream that we are going to live forever.

You suck at photoshop

So this is low-level photoshop tutorial. Technology has always struck me as being endlessly entertaining. It doesn’t really work most of the times, does it? Nothing you ever go out and buy works just as you thought they would work. Actually the only things that work better than the commercials for it, are toys for children. They are 100 times more colorful, noizy and mostly they’re more fun for adults than the children.
