Come Sit On My Wall

By request per Brock. Damien got quite popular since he did some songs on the movie Closer. I'm not a fan of the whole album, just about five songs.

The lyrics I found say "story of O." The album's entitled "O" but I'm not sure that's what he says. I thought it was "old." I'm probably missing something, though.

Amie

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me
Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it,
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away

Something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But I'm not a miracle
And you're not a saint
Just another soldier
On the road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

And Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

Ah, 4th of July weekend. Nothing like a Holiday Weekend to help me make some headway on my script. Pounding out some crucial scenes for the second half of Act II in my script, I spent any free time I could muster yesterday and today writing out 10 pages of material. The scenes I ended up getting down were some of the more difficult I’ve had to write, including one very intense confrontation scene.
I should add that I’m positive once I go back and rewrite my material I’ll find plenty of mistakes to cramp up over, but for the moment I’m reasonably satisfied enough to push forward at least 10 more pages by tomorrow. Act II is running long…I’ll cut it down in the final draft.

So I called FotoKem and the processing on The Subject is done. All that’s left is the telecine. After the film gets back to me I’ll begin the arduous process of editing. Actually, I’m really looking forward to the editing for this film, as I have a million ideas I want to try and accomplish. One of the things I wanted to make important in this film was the Foley and overall sound. That’s never really been a heavy focus in the past, but I want to get creative with it this time around. I can picture setting an entire mood with some particular sounds. I know that I’ve always ended up just laying down music to my films, in essence making them music videos, but this time I really want to focus on the sound effects.

I added the Criterion Collection and The City on Film Daily to our collection of links on the right hand side of the page. Why? Well, Criterion made it to the list because we’ve been talking very heavily about movies lately, independent, artistic and foreign films in particular, and I’ve realized over time that they have one of the finest collections of cinematically important films. They also publish a number of interesting film articles. The City on Film got a link because, well, that’s a very frequently updated blog. And since I wanted to make sure we keep updating our site with new material, I decided to add that. I should get his new CD and review it.

Speaking of reviews, my next major one:

Going by the trailers and commercials, it isn't going to be anything like I thought it would be, but I've read some surprisingly good reviews. I'll still give it a shot.
