Deconstructing Dad: A Raymond Scott Documentary

Monday, May 4th, 2009

I've always had a mild fascination with Scott, especially due to his inventiveness and influence on electronic instruments. He was essentially the pioneer of that medium, even before Moog. After seeing "Trimpin" I am even more interested to see this documentary his family is making. I think ...

Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Kubrick's work. I find it pretentious, usually overcomplicated, and lacking in characters with any depth/dialog. That said, I still think he was a genius at the details of his movies. They were usually visual masterpieces, even if the stories were ...
