Bring on the Big Sky Bourne!
Doug Liam's Bourne Identity arrived this evening, fresh off the netflix bus. Overall the movie is good, but I always thought it was missing something, I dunno action maybe, more content, mystery maybe? Course after watching the flick I turned on the directory commentary and I swear it makes me respect the movie ten times more. I love a fresh director speakin his mind on a film production. Getting the insights on how a shot came together or why he chose not to have ooodles of action for his lead man fill in the gaps I thought were missing. A better understanding of where Doug was going helped create a better Jason Bourne in my mind. While the movie doesn't follow the book completely the character, the base characer of Bourne I think is something Robert Ludlum would of accepted.
Like the director, I too remember reading Bourne Identity in highschool and I think I kept re-reading it just about every other summer. I like books like, books you can revisit and they continue to paint pictures in your mind. Grandmaster is another book I remember reading often as a kid. Grandmaster by Warren Murphy and Molly Cochran, I remember getting it from my brother Tom as a summer must read kinda book. That was a damn good book as well, more twists and turns then Bourne Identity for sure. Another movie consideration there really.
Gator Dave is correct soon I'll be flying the friendly skies and headed for the great state of Montana. I need a break really, its monday and already i'm sayin I need a break...ya baby! So ya the mission, to talk to people about clothes. Sound simple? Kinda is, I hope to get some good video though. Sometimes we have to de-mystify a process, break it all down, is it the shoes that effect the man that does the job or is it just cause he had a bad day... hard to say, gotta go and observe good buddy.
I had sushi on saturday, good tasty sushi, it was yummy. Sake was warm and so so, I miss the cold sake bombs I had in texas. The EEL is growin on me, something about that whole bbq taste is kinda yummy if you can get past the fact yer eatin EEEEEL, still not bad.
I really need a haircut, probably wont happen before I skkeedaddle. So I'm thinkin Denver for Thanksgivin, go see some brothers, hang and do more big sky country. I need more big sky.
Hey heres another ramble, so ok I started drawing, ya really drawing... i dunno I need to get my ideas down. Grundy in Texas hooked me up with an artist so I can start piecing together some of the old stories, the characters I created down there.. and theres alot. I think I have 12 seperate characters, all with enviroments, plot lines, storys, theme songs, you name it.. kinda wild. I thought of mixing them all together since most of my skits are about 10mins a character segment. I started drawing some of the character and getting the descriptors down to see how this artist can take direction and see what he can dish out. I found the process of visualizing my creations really relaxing. I think with some classes i could learn to draw better and help break down some barriers i have to taking my ideas further than just the napkin sketch and comedy rant.
Well bound for big sky in just a few days, if you do anything this week, be sure to check out Jeni's at the north market and get a taste of the "5 pumkin spice" its yummmy!
