Wes anderson

 With his authorship and so many people writing about him, and even the breakout movie Royal Tenenbaum and when that happened, as well as the music and the choice of Elliott smith, and that the roles of the people living in deep depression or abuse neglect, we enter this world like a true representation of the world. This is where filmmakers can take us into the dream world to show us the deeper reality past the reality we live in.


His new movie Venetian scheme I saw last night and it was so fun to hear even some people laugh at some of those liners. I saw it with just a general audience and Lawrence Kansas at the Regal theater, and I kind of liked seeing it there even though it's regal and not an independent movie theater because then people could be allowed to laugh. I do love independent movies but the idea of laughter especially when the themes are so dark but again a reflection of the realities we all go through. He has his style of getting the mise on sin and we all know he is very particular about it, in a measured way. But isn't that what's fun about that skiing scene? So fun but it's also how the fun enjoy is attached to fast moving dialogue. When people argue they really have it out everyone starting at the same time and finishing at the same time. That's what arguments are like, no one hears each other.


Might look at the Phoenician scheme because it's really fascinating how he uses this none in a way that both is making a statement I mean the heaven scenes are hilarious, and a judeo-christian way, but also this character who is really earthbound. The nun. Well the main character is on trial in heaven. As he goes in and out of close death situations.


For me Royal tenant bombs was a relief to see hear these are people are depressed but it's somehow a good movie? People leave not feeling depressed? Like a but other real dramas might do to us. That this surreal approach of reality is a better way for us to be removed from the depressing realities we face. The family Dynamics and dysfunctions.

Cinema Paradiso Scriptio Divina

 Okay, so I am doing a mashup of Italian with Latin, but both sound so well together! One is the famous film about movie-going, the second is about writing as a sacred practice.

Films and writing are sacred to me.

To write

I had to write my Escape story via a poem. Maybe that's what this Memoir is to help those who couldn't escape Topeka and still have to face these horrible men but know that you can go anywhere to find horrible men.

Independent movie theaters I'll never forget

 I I think the most impactful one out of the spirit I did when I had to take a chance of risk to go to Seattle to see what was left of the Grunge music scene and to find it was already gone 

Just days after my birthday I went to see the release of Basquiat and now I'll Search for the movie house

How movies help me to remember things as in what times and what things were going on the films are markers for what's going on


Like Divergent March 21st 2014 opening night I'm there at Alamo Drafthouse for the first time realizing Kansas City had this movie theater before I even knew it was a franchise. It would have been spring break. And here it can unfold all of these memories because of that film and that movie theater that I would come to Treasure until it shut down in 2020. Which is another story
