beer


i prefer a nice bourbon but this made me smile a bit right down to the shakespearean title.  ah, the simplicity of 1952 in america.  what the hell happened? by sv

amour

whether you are in love, want to be, once were, or never were…you should go see this film.  if you are a mortal human being, or perhaps a demi-god gracing the rest of us with your presence, you should also go see this film.  michael haneke, thank you. by sv

new york, new york

last winter i went to see ‘shame’ in the theaters, and despite the rampant nudity, glory holes, and sexual innuendos projecting off the screen—this fully clothed and melancholy rendition of the city namesake tune is what stuck in my head.  i am currently mad at new york, and have been surrounding myself with city related tunes in order to mediate those feelings.  not especially a huge carey mulligan fan, but this tear sodden version will be on many playlists for years to come. by sv
