in the lands of richard linklater

[pitcherthis]

we finally watch 'the slacker'. i don't know which version of the reality we saw last night but it was very beautiful.

our quote of the day is 'yes i live badly, but i don't want to have to work to do it.' (i think).

my muscles are almost not hurting today which is great. i really ought to start taking pictures of them.

I wasn't aware he had made anything before Slacker. Did i tell you i met Richard Linklater once, very briefly?

The camera flows beautifully through Slacker, i particularly love the super 8 montage at the end with that great Louis Armstrong tune

his first film's called it's impossible to learn to plow by reading books

yes you did :) (only once though)

yes super 8 is god - it kind of has an instant nostalgic innocence feel to it
