NEGA
[song on my mind] -- weak by swv
film watched last tuesday -- citizen kane
korean film watched last friday -- sex is zero
There are some films that leave a feeling of negativity in me that sticks so good I need a steel wool to remove it. And Citizen Kane is one of them. The film is an Encyclopedic Film of All Films, a baptism of film that all modern filmmakers go through in their rites of passage. It is so absolute that when a filmmaker makes a film it either emulates Kane's or it avoids it. Good thing I am not a filmmaker. I hate having to fully emulate something. Or fully avoid something.
But back to it's being nega (to borrow a term from Marphil). It left an emotional scar on me that I can't explain what. I tried. I had a night trying to figure out just what Rosebud really is. I guess it was the childhood that Kane never had. I guess that had his mother decided not to send him to a boarding school, he would never have gotten to the point of all this madness. But the scriptwriters of the film had to take from the lives of various magnates of the period, and so Charles Foster Kane's life had to suffer such trivialities in his life. The semiotics are not enough to fully explain this film. And it is because it is a film that cannot be fully explained, that it irritatingly clings to my mindset as a negative film. I need an industrial-strength steel wool of a film theory to wipe the negativity of the film off my mind.

No more lonely nights

Am the Head of the Department of Poisons and Antidotes of the College of Substances, also doubling as the chief of the Apothecary for the Department of the National Defense. Ahem.
BUT SERIOUSLY
Am a 4th year University of the Philippines student, but currently am a non-major in the College of Mass Communication. I can write, but am really unsure of whether I write well. This is a somewhat faithful version of what I keep in my paper diaries. And yes, I DO write my diaries MANUALLY. I've already filled up thirty-three Papemelroti notebooks, and am on my thirty-four. I love to eat, and boy, my diet sure can pack the pounds on even Palito. I now am planning to reduce weight, but will execute after the hell weeks are over. :D Am planning to shift to either BS Economics or BS Statistics. Wish me luck! :D
