Reflections on Fall
Now that we are well into fall, I've noticed the amazing sound made by the brisk winds blowing through brittle, changing foliage. It makes a great 'woosh' that rises and falls, like a colossal broom sweeping across the countryside in one powerful brush. The autumn wind conjures up all kinds of mysterious and exciting images in my mind; it would hard for me to imagine fall without those lovely sounds.

In Flagranti
After being recently introduced to In Flagranti by a friend, I was hoping Sasha would be taking part in the CMJ Marathon this week, but alas, he is currently touring Europe. I imagine this is what Studio 54 would sound like if it were around in 2008, i.e. great raunchy retro dance music.

400 Coups
I was speaking with a friend about this film some time ago and was really disappointed to hear that he considered it one of the lesser titles to emerge from the French New Wave. Although I do tend to appreciate art inspired by the juvenile delinquent (no doubt because I was one myself not long ago), I also found it really charming. This is mostly due to the young lead played by Jean-Pierre Leaud. Even in the screen test, he shows quite a bit of swagger for such a young man. He really nails the role of the frustrated teen, and it's beautifully shot in 50's Paris; how could you not like this film?

Old Cowboy Wisdom
There are three times in life when a man has call to howl at the moon:
1. When he is married
2. When his first child is born
3. When he finishes a job he was crazy to even start
