The Fountain

so, i went and saw the Fountain during break, and it was amazing! i seriously recommend going, paying the outrageous amount of $7, and experiencing this film. the director uses this artist from Germany to create the space/super nova sequences. its gorgeous. he used this specific photo acid to make clouds and stars. i really can't talk about it any more. you just have to go out and see it.

the music in the film was cool too. it flowed from classical to modern, with a sad element always twisted into the mix.

Decemberists

Last Sunday, I went to the Decemberist concert. All I can say is wow. I mean, wow. They were the cat's meow. They were a summer sunshine during winter. They were a poncho at sea world. Everything good in this world equals the Decemberists. The lead singer even walked off stage to vomit after one song, then came back and sang the rest of the set. That is dedication. Not to mention that its only expected from the greatest folk/indie band (only slightly behind Cloud Cult) ever to hit my life.
