"Horror and fatality have been lurking abroad in all ages. Why then give a date to the story I have to tell?"
- Edgar Allan Poe

p.s.The movie section is SHOCKINGLY BARE!!! For some reason it won't let me type anything except directors' names and film titles, and that would take forever and ever and ever. If you really want to know just ask me. Especcially if you're into French New Wave, Czech New Wave, Japanese New Wave, Surrealism (i.e. Bunuel), Italian Neo-Realism, German Expressionism, Dreyer, Ozu, Bresson (well, transcendental style in general, those are just the 3 directors in that category that I've studied the most - thank you Paul Schrader) Oh, and I've been really into old Hollywood lately, and old Jean Gabin movies like Le Jour Se Leve, Port of Shadows and of course Pepe Le Moko, without which there never would have been a Casablanca, and lots of old school Japanese "Nikatsu" noirs
