the leaves? amazing.
I could tell that it was Fall a few weeks ago when I walked out my front door and took in a breath of fresh air. But now the leaves are more than stunning, they are amazing. I have got to get out there tomorrow and take some photos!
A movie that rivals Little Miss Sunshine [my absolute favorite movie of all time]? I may have found it. The Brothers Bloom is a movie that was (to my knowledge) limited release. The Grand Cinema was playing it here in Tacoma, but it never worked out for me to go see the movie while in theaters. Anyway, I found out this morning that it was out on DVD and I ran my ass down to my favorite tiny little indie kid video store and rented it. I laughed until I cried, people. Go rent it.
Please tell me there is going to be a book on Man Shops Globe! I am not much a TV watcher (I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love TV…I just don’t have cable), so I’d likely miss this if it were not for iTunes. . .
Keith Johnson really does have the best job in the world. Who would not kill to be a buyer for Anthropologie? I really cannot wait to see this series.
Hitchcock Love
It has been years….YEARS since I have seen a Hitchcock film. Which is odd because he was a brilliant director and these movies should be like staples in my house next to Shawn of the Dead or Little Miss Sunshine. 
What amazes me so much about his movies is that they are still — to this day — eerie. While you may giggle a little when they attempt to dramatize the dream scenes with monochromatic color overlays in flashing motion, you have to admit that by the end of the film you were genuinely moved.
As for a little eye candy…I’ve pulled up some stills and storyboards via the interwebs.
The movie is set in San Francisco, which of course made me oh-so-happy since I am visiting there for the first time next week!
Seeing Jimmy Stewart in a movie was like going back in time for me and hearing his voice made me so nostalgic. I was very much into classic films in highschool (I never claimed to be cool), so I honestly got a tiny bit teary eyed when he started talking. It was like hearing a family member’s voice when you are homesick.
If you are at all into the use of color and meaning in film, this link is great.
Hotel Empire is now the chic Hotel Vertigo.
I love the color in this scene. Bravo.
And who wouldn’t just adore his friend’s studio?
