Watching a Movie a Day*: Week 2 (Dead Poets Society, Sorry to Bother You, and THE ESTABLISHMENT>:(((()

       The whole "establishment" connection was a coincidence. Sorry to Bother You wasn't even on my list, but I thought it'd be a fun watch, and the movies happened to relate to each other in an unexpected way. And I only watched two movies this week because I'm bad at this. I'm also heavily considering taking Her off my list because I really don't want to watch it. See you next week.   Dead Poets Society (1989) "Pseudo-rebellion for the rich, future academic" Director: Peter Weir Screenplay: Tom Schulman      Really I found it quite interesting. I didn't know much about the movie going in, and I'll have to say it shocked me. First by killing a protagonist, and basically by the whole third act. To me DPS represents the suppression of ideas, and the repression of people under the "establishment". The whole idea of conforming to these expectations and this world around you. We all have priorities, of course, but something I have ...

Watching a Movie a Day: Week 1 (The Godfather, Beetlejuice, and Lots of Dead People)

 Movies: The Godfather Bonnie and Clyde Edward Scissorhands Beetlejuice Her Dead Poets Society Loving Vincent Assigned Theme/take away:  "Love does not conquer the power of a gun."     Week one, and we're not off to a good start. (I only watched 4 of the movies). I suppose no one is reading this anyway, but I did get an interesting reply to the Godfather review on tumblr. I'm not going to excuse myself, but I will list reasons why.  I expect too much of myself I fall asleep to movies ridiculously easily School runs too fucking long     And those are my reasons. I stopped like 55 minutes into Her , and maybe part of it is just that the movie isn't that compelling. Weird, but not in an intriguing way just in a... way. Not soulless, but not ripe with prestige. Either way, it doesn't matter I didn't fucking finish it. So the three final movies will carry over into next week.     And now as a proper intro to this 'one movie a day' concept, a long ...

Ground Zero: The True Birth of Kiwizine

    This is Kiwizine My Socials tumblr: @bruised-violettes twitter: @bruisedviolette insta: @bruised_violette YT: violette Soundcloud: violette      Hello. For all intents and purposes, I am Violette. Said the Jawbreaker way, not the French way. The owner of this BlogSpot. High-schooler, wannabe, hardly-hobbyist, Violette. Not even close to my real name, but I like it as a stage name, so why not? Anyway let's move past the 2000's teen movie intro BS, and get to what I actually want to say.    I've been wanting to make a fashion magazine sort of thing, and this is kind of it, but much more casual. I have an 99.9% expectation nobody will read this, but maybe I'm doing it out of my own sort of self satisfaction. Diablo Cody got a book deal, or something of the sort from a blog, although other than Juno I haven't actually seen any of her other work, but it's all about the spirit. I've set out to be a passionate, intelligent person, that at least thousands ...
