march 21, 2007.4:56pm

Geocities is getting really irritating (signing in takes about 30 minutes and don't even get me to start talking about how long it takes to upload files) so I've decided to move my site to:

bittergrace.wordpress.com
for blogging, rave lists, etc...

and

songsbybittergrace.wordpress.com
my songs page where you can download songs...

and i'll be using my geocities for storage purposes na lang.

The Seven Best Songs Used in a Film/TV Show (a rave list)
march 20, 2007.11:21pm

7) "Taking Pictures" by Sam Phillips in Gilmore Girls (Season 6, Episode 22: Partings)
Why it's perfect: Quite simply put, it's heartbreaking. Lorelai breaks up with Luke and while she walks away, a street singer, Sam Phillips sings The places I go are never there... It's the violin as accompaniment that kills.

6) "Only Love" by Heather Nova in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 7, Episode 20: Touched)
Why it's perfect: As another armageddon approaches, new lovers (Willow and Kennedy, Faith and Robin) and old lovers (Anya and Xander, Buffy and Spike) find comfort in each other's arms. It's only love but love should make us strong, It's only love but love has been hurting so long... is sung in almost a breathy whisper.

5) "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" by Doris Day in Baz Luhrmann's "Strictly Ballroom"
Why it's perfect: Two unlikely people falling in love against the background of a ballroom competition...familiar plot? Nevermind. It's how it's done that matters and Baz Luhrmann does it very well indeed. Especially in this part where they're dancing the Rhumba (AKA the Dance of Love) to this song...So if you really love me, say yes. But if you don't, dear, confess. And please don't tell me perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

4) "Momentary Thing" by Something Happens in Veronica Mars (Season 1, Episode 18: Weapons of Mass Destruction)
Why it's perfect: Veronica and Logan dislike each other. She thinks he's a psychotic jackass, he blames her for breaking up him and his girflriend, who happens to be her bestfriend who was killed a year ago and whose mysterious murder she's trying to solve. Anyway, long story short, they kinda develop this truce and when Veronica is "kidnapped" while on the phone with Logan, off he goes to her rescue. As a thank you, she kisses him on the cheek then their eyes connect and suddenly he grabs her and kisses her on the mouth. In the meantime, there's this beautiful guitar riff going crescendo in the background while as their lips meet, the words After all, well isn't this just a momentary thing? are heard.

3) "Unang Araw" by Sugarfree in Quark Henares's "Keka"
Why it's perfect: The irony, baby. The visuals show you two people happily together and in love while in the background someone sings wistfully, Ito ang unang araw na wala ka na [This is the first day without you.]

2) "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia"
Why it's perfect: Thirteen lonely people and their lonely lives converge as they sing along to the words It's not going to stop...till you wise up. One of the saddest moments in film history. And it helps that no one writes of loneliness like Aimee Mann.

1) "The Blower's Daughter" by Damien Rice in Mike Nicholl's "Closer"
Why it's perfect: Natalie Portman walking slowly down the street looking absolutely gorgeous that you can't take your eyes off of her and sure enough, in the background, someone's singing softly and desperately I can't take my eyes off of you... over and over again. you know, for emphasis. and what an emphasis.

We Are Not Always What We Seem, And Hardly Ever What We Dream
march 14, 2007.11:44pm

i'm officially jobless again since today was my last day of tutoring. sigh. longer sigh.

so if anyone asks, this is what i'm doing:

1. [re]editing poetry so i can actually pass it somewhere, like, the Palanca awards. well, kung mangangarap lang naman. still mulling over what the title of the collection would be. right now i'm stuck with Necessary Angst but i'm not that happy with it. hopefully some inspiration will come along.

2. two possible full-length scripts: Ang Mga Taong Gawa sa Karton [The Cardboard People] of which i've actually written 11 whole sequences (my inspiration for this is Sofia Coppola's Lost Girls Trilogy) and Ang Mga Anak ni Juan [The Children of Juan] which i plan to pass to cinemaone originals if i ever get it finished in time. so far finished character sketches and basic structure (Ang Kasaysayan, Ang Kasalukuyan at Ang Tadhana...not necessarily in that order)

3. a new album/song collection called A Simple Case of Yes or No. Working on the album art and will hopefully finish all the songs by the end of summer. Like Songs About the Boy it's be divided into parts, namely: Yes, No and Maybe. This will of course include the songs that aren't in SATB (because they weren't about love) and a lot of new songs I've composed since.

The title of this post, by the way, is a quote from Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn. It is said by Schmendrick the Magician.

2006: The Year in Film
february 28, 2007. 5:00pm

This comes a bit late, but better late than never. Here's my opinion on last year's movies. Of course, this is solely based on the stuff that I have actually seen (for list, see latter part of post.) To save space, I'll only comment on the best and worst films.

CINEMATIC HEAVEN:
The Prestige - Chris Nolan keeps us guessing in the wonderfully dark film about two warring magicians.
The Devil Wears Prada - Meryll Streep. Need I say more? Okay, I'll say more. An amazing performance by Emily Blunt. And not to mention clothes. Clothes. Clothes!
Inside Man - A thriller that's perfectly thrilling.
V for Vendetta - Spectacular. Moving. Inspiring.
The Departed -Beautifully harsh and surprising. And, of course, the terrific performances.
Marie-Antoinette - The final film in the Lost Girl Trilogy about the ultimate lost girl (who lost her head.) Watching it is like eating dessert with kick-ass music in the background. Scrumptious.
The Science of Sleep - What can I say? I'm a sucker for romantic films. An imaginative, whimsical romance from I-will-love-you-forever director Michel Gondry.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: An Inconvenient Truth, Babel, Casino Royale, Friends With Money, Notes on a Scandal, Stranger Than Fiction, Thank You For Smoking, The Fountain, The Illusionist, The Queen

STRICTLY ENTERTAINMENT: Mission: Impossible III, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Poseidon, She's the Man, Superman Returns, The Break-Up, The Holiday, The Lake House, X-Men: THe Last Stand

LUKEWARM: Eragon, Hollywoodland, Lady in the Water, The Black Dahlia

NOT WORTH A PISO:
Failure to Launch - It failed to launch.
Nanny McPhee - Watch Mary Poppins instead.
The Da Vinci Code - I never liked Ron Howard. I probably never will.
American Dreamz - Tried so hard to hit the right note.
Basic Instinct 2: Risk - Worst sequel made by an aging actor trying to revive an old franchise. (Hello, Harrison Ford. Are you still making Indiana Jones 4?)
Date Movie - I was at least expecting it to be funny. It wasn't.
Tristan and Isolde - You ruined a perfectly beautiful love story. And why is Rufus Sewell always playing the role of the enemy? I like him better when he's the hero.

Here's the list of films released in 2006 (based on Wikipedia. Sorry no list of Filipino films because can't find one anywhere.) In bold are those that I've watched, in italics are those that I plan to watch in the immediate future, or, as soon as I can get my hands on a pirated dvd:

Notes on an Oscar
f ebruary 26, 2007. 1:49pm

This was a surprising year for the Oscars, but with so many amazing films and none really standing out, what else would you expect? But before I elaborate further, let me comment first on one of the most important factors of the Oscars, namely, fashion!

I was extremely disappointed with the dresses in the red carpet. Nicole Kidman, I love you to death but what were you thinking? That big red bow? If it didn't work for Charlize Theron, it won't work for you (or anybody, for that matter.) Kirsten Dunst, from far, far away, your dress looks almost pretty but close-up, it's a disaster. Feathers? Really? I don't think a dress really works when it's sparsely decorated by feathers. Naomi Watts, I liked the color but what's with the sleeves? Jennifer Lopez, I don't think you have enough bling in that dress, do you? Anne Hathaway, you almost got it but the butterfly thingie was just plain weird. Kelly Preston, that much animal print should stay on an animal. Beyonce, honestly there's nothing bad about the dress but there's nothing spectacular about it either. A few names get two thumbs from me: Cate Blanchett, Celine Dion, Kate Winslet, and Rachel Weisz.

Okay, so now that fashion is done, let's move onward with the show. First of all, this wasn't a very fun oscar show this year (I remember one with Billy Crystal had me laughing non-stop.) Ellen was cute funny but didn't really entertain as well as she does in her talk show. (and what was that velvety suit she was wearing?) Her jokes weren't that funny and they seemed very contrived. I liked the little song sketch that Jack Black , Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly did, though.

So let's move on to the winners. First the obvious wins:

Best Actor: Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland
Best Actress: Helen Mirren for The Queen
Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson for Dreamgirls
Best Directing: Martin Scorsese for The Departed
Best Documentary: An Inconvenient Truth - Davis Guggenheim (and Al Gore)

I wanted Peter O'Toole to win for Best Actor. I don't know why. But having neither watched The Last King of Scotland, or Venus, I don't think I have the right to comment. Helen Mirren of course was a sure bet right from the very start. It must be a bit frustrating for Kate Winslet to be such a good actress and not yet have that one role that will give her a statue with that nomination. I hope Jennifer Hudson has the good fortune to continue fruitfully in the industry because I think she was given the role of a lifetime which she probably won't be able to top in the immediate future. The world would end if they didn't give that Oscar to Martin Scorsese and it's a good thing they did because I don't want the world to end yet.

And then there's the surprising wins:

Best Picture: The Departed - Graham King
Best Supporting Actor: Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine
Best Animation: Happy Feet - George Miller
Best Foreign Language Film - The Lives of Others, Germany
Best Original Song - "I Need to Wake Up" from An Inconvenient Truth by Melissa Etheridge

I thought the fight would be between Babel and Little Miss Sunshine but I guess you just never know. Like everyone, I expected Eddie Murphy to get the statue, but he didn't. Having neither watched Dreamgirls nor Little Miss Sunshine, I can't comment further. I was surprised by Happy Feet because it got a lot of mixed reviews and because Pixar usually wins. Everyone was talking about it being the year of the Mexicans (except the African-Americans who are saying it's their year, but wasn't their year like years ago, when Halle Berry and Denzel Washington won?) so I really expected Pan's Labyrinth to win Best Foreign Language Film. But don't feel bad for the Mexicans because they won a lot of technical awards anyway. And I thought they'd give the Best Song to Dreamgirls because they nominated 3 songs from the film but, oh well.

And the technical awards go to:

Best Original Screenplay: Little Miss Sunshine by Michael Arndt
Best Adapted Screenplay: The Departed by William Monahan
Best Cinematography: Pan's Labyrinth - Guillermo Navarro
Best Editing: The Departed - Thelma Schoonmaker
Best Art Direction: Pan's Labyrinth - Eugenio Caballero, Pilar Revuelta
Best Costume Design: Marie Antoinette - Milena Canonero
Best Original Score: Babel - Gustavo Santaolalla
Best Makeup: Pan's Labyrinth - David Marti, Montse Ribe
Best Sound: Dreamgirls - Michale Minkler, Bob Beemer, Willie D. Burton
Best Sound Editing: Letters from Iwo Jima - Alan Robert Murray, Bub Asman
Best Visual Effects: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - John Knoll, Hal T. Hickell, Charles Gibson, Allen Hall

The Weather Today is Slightly Sarcastic
february 25, 2007. 5:35pm

Fell in love with this song when I heard it in Berlin. It's by a groundbreaking German band called Einsturzende Neubauten (which I think means "collapsing new buildings," or something like that.)

STELLA MARIS

Ich träum' ich treff' dich ganz tief unten
der tiefste Punkt der Erde, Marianengraben, Meeresgrund
Zwischen Nanga Parbat, K 2 und Everest,
das Dach der Welt dort
geb' ich dir ein Fest
wo nichts mehr mir die Sicht verstellt
Wenn du kommst, seh' ich dich kommen schon vom Rand der Welt
Es gibt nichts Interessantes hier
Die Ruinen von Atlantis nur
aber keine Spur von dir
Ich glaub' du kommst nicht mehr

Wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich weck' dich nicht
bevor du nicht von selbst erwachst

Über's Eis in Richtung Nordpol dort werd' ich dich erwarten
werde an der Achse steh'n
Aus Feuerland in harter Traumarbeit zum Pol
 
wird alles dort sich nur um uns noch dreh'n
Der Polarstern direkt über mir
Dies ist der Pol ich warte hier
Nur dich kann' ich weit und breit noch nirgends kommen seh'n

Ich wart' am falschen Pol

Wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich finde dich
bevor du noch von selbst erwachst

Bitte, bitte weck' mich nicht
solang ich träum' nur gibt es dich…

Wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich weck' dich nicht
bevor du nicht von selbst erwachst

Lass' mich schlafend heuern auf ein Schiff
Kurs: Eldorado, Punt das ist dein Heimatort
Warte an der Küste such' am Horizont
bis endlich ich sehe deine Segel dort
Doch der Käpt'n ist betrunken
und meistens unter Deck
Ich kann im Traum das Schiff nicht steuern
eine Klippe schlägt es Leck
Im Nordmeer ist es dann gesunken
Ein Eisberg treibt mich weg
Ich glaub' ich werde lange warten
Punt bleibt unentdeckt

Wir haben uns im Traum verpasst

Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich weck' dich nicht
bevor du nicht von selbst erwachst
Du träumst mich ich dich
Keine Angst ich finde dich
am Halbschlafittchen pack' ich dich
und ziehe dich zu mir
denn du träumst mich ich dich
ich träum' dich du mich
Wir träumen uns beide wach

[akala niyo ba, German lyrics lang ilalagay ko? hehe, eto yung english...]

I dream I’ll meet you deep deep down
the deepest point on Earth, Mariana Trench, ocean bottom
between Nanga Parbat, K2 and Everest,
the crest of the world, there you’ll be my banquet guest
Where nothing more can impede my vision
When you come I’ll see you coming from the world’s margin
Here there’s nothing of interest
The ruins of Atlantis just
But of you not a trace
I don’t think you’re coming anymore

We missed each other in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don’t worry, I won’t wake you
Before you wake up yourself

Across the ice towards the North Pole is where I’ll expect you
Will be standing on the axis
From Tierra del Fuego in hard dream labour to the pole
There everything will revolve just around us
The Pole Star directly above me
This is the pole I’ll wait here
Only I cannot see you coming from anywhere for miles around

I’m waiting at the wrong pole

We missed each other in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don’t worry, I’ll find you
Before you wake up yourself

Please, please don’t wake me
Only as long as I dream do you exist...

We missed each other in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don’t worry, I won’t wake you
Before you wake up yourself

Enlist in slumber on a ship
Course: Eldorado, Punt that’s your home
Wait on the coast, look on the horizon
until I at last see your sails there
But the captain is always drunk
and mostly below deck
I can’t steer this ship in my wildest dreams
On a riff it springs a leek
In the North Sea it then sunk
An iceberg drives me back
I think I'll be waiting for long
Punt stays undiscovered

We missed each other in our dreams

You dream me, I you
Don't worry, I won't wake you
Before you wake up yourself
You dream me, I you
Don't worry, I'll find you
Collared in a doze I'll grab you
and pull you towards me
For you dream me, I you
I dream you, you me
We dream each other awake.

I was fortunate enough to catch a few films at the Berlin International Film Festival. They are:

1. Notes on a Scandal (Richard Eyre)

If there is anything to be said about this movie is that it's superbly acted. Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench are a match made in heaven. Aside from that, the rest of it was just okay. Direction: Okay. Cinematography: Okay. Script: Okay. Musical Score: a bit ominous but Philip Glass made it so I'll forgive him.

2. 300 (Jack Snyder)

It is an extremely awesome movie to look at. The visuals left me breathless. And yes, the dialogue could have been better and the story could have been a little more historically accurate but it was faithful to the graphic novel it was based on. It's a novel and a film about war and heroism and in the world of heroes, everything is either black or white, good or evil with no room for matters of gray. So yes, in that sense, it's anti-orientalist and racist. But I don't agree with the many people who attack the movie because they think it compares USA with Sparta and Iraq with Persia mainly because it's wrong to draw those parallels just because US/Sparta is western and Iraq/Persia is eastern (and anyone who does it that way is actually guilty of racism) and anyone who actually analyzes the situation will see that if any parallels are to be drawn it would be between Iraq/Sparta and US/Persia.

But anyway, politics aside, watch the movie because it's...just...hot! And I'm not just referring to the expanse of manflesh exposed. Starring Gerard Butler as Leonidas and Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes.

3. Ne Touchez Pas La Hache [Don't Touch the Axe] (Jacqes Rivette)

There were three words that convinced me to see this film: Duchess, love and French and it's no secret that period films are one of my guilty pleasures. But I watching this wasn't really such a pleasure for me. I found it long and dragging and frankly, I didn't understand why or how the hero, a somber soldier suddenly falls in love with the shallow, flirty Duchess who is so obviously just stringing him along. I wish he would just move on and get over it. And, of course he doesn't. I would explain the title, but it would take too long and I might bore you.

4. 2 Days in Paris (Julie Delpy)

A film about a French woman and her American boyfriend who spend 2 days in Paris talking about love, life, etc... Sounds familiar? A bit. But it falls far from the Before Sunset/Sunrise tree and is a film of its own. I found it funny and charming and not a bad effort from first time director Julie Delpy who also starred, produced and, I think, edited it. (She also made a few songs for the soundtrack.) There are still a few similarities with Before Sunset/Sunrise (especially the ending) but I think that there is a bit more spark and spunk in this film.

5. Angel (Francois Ozon)

Again, another period film, this time set in England in the 1900s about a girl with an overactive imagination. I thought it would be a little more like Amelie and a little less melodrama but as a melodrama, it follows the genre. (I would speak more about this but I might spoil the ending.) Angel, as a character, walks a fine line between admirable and unlikable. She's a strong, passionate, intelligent woman whose tragic flaw is that she's blind to the real world around her. Starring a brunette Romolo Garai (when I close my eyes and try to think of her with brown hair, I always end up thinking of Anne Hathaway) and a wickedly funny Charlotte Rampling (who almost stole the show.)
