May 17th, 2008 GRNY APAK Worlds of Wonder Aaron and Ayumi Piland Tompkins Square Park Dance Parade Typing Subway Ride Home

Alright, I thought this video was amusing. Let me see here, it’s a video of the art show at Giant Robot New York. APAK flew from Oregon to be at the show and oh boy it was wonderful. You get a nice 360 view of the gallery, some detailed up-close shots of some of the pieces, a few words from Aaron Piland (half of APAK), some footage of Ayumi (the other half of APAK), a glimpse of the Dance Parade that was going on near the gallery at Tompkins Square Park, Cheryl typing, Christina and about a minute and a half of my subway ride home at around 4 AM without any lights. This video would be amusing if watched under the influence (i.e. alcohol, drugs, etc.).

Naissance Des Pieuvres is good. 2 Days in Paris is good.
Published May 7, 2008 Reviews 0 CommentsTags: 2 Days in Paris, asupremenewyorkthing, French Cinema, Naissance Des Pieuvres, Water Lillies
I just watched Naissance Des Pieuvres (Water Lillies). It’s about sexual confusion of teenage girls. I liked it. I didn’t know what it was about, beforehand, and if you watch the trailer, you wouldn’t know what it’s about either. That’s how they should market films, by showing you interesting images without any explanation of the plot or subject whatsoever. No, that’s not completely true. The trailer conveys sexy confusion, which is what this movie’s about.
I also saw 2 Days in Paris. This was Sunday. I liked it very much. It’s funny. It’s directed by Julie Delpy, the actress in the movie. I like her after having seen this. I recommend watching this movie too. If I were you, I would start by watching this one and then Water Lillies after a few days. 2 Days in Paris is a comedy.
Adam Goldberg is likable, as the over-intellectualized New Yorker in Paris. I have never seen The Hebrew Hammer, which he was also in. I’m glad I didn’t see that cause not knowing much about Adam Goldberg, other than from having seen him in a few episodes of Friends, made him feel fresh. That’s just me.
The movie feels very personal. I love the camera work. The story is about a Parisian, Julie Delpy, with her boyfriend in Paris.
