Progress report and stuff

So, umm, I didn't post the update yet.

I feel bad, with the April Fools joke and all. I had planned to post the real chapter that same evening, but it didn't work out that way. It's not far off, though, and if I get much work in on it this evening, it might get posted. I'll be out watching a Werner Herzog film at the college (an enthusiastic and odd character of a student does a showing of one of his personal collection of obscure films every Friday evening - it's worth the trip just for the student and his commentary), and I'll be drinking a little more of this Riesling (can you guess the theme here?), but I hope to get some time to shoot those last photos for the update.

One thing about that fake-out chapter post is that it does have the same suggested music as the actual chapter: Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire. I've been grooving out to them nonstop for the last couple of days. What a GREAT band. I love almost any band with a string section (Oh hai, Belle and Sebastian!), and they're based in Montreal, which is one of the coolest cities in the world. It's not quite Berlin, but it's up there.

A little Herzog is never a bad thing :) Or, it might be since he's had a few crazy projects, but yeah - gotta love him :D Hope you have a great time and don't feel bad about the update, we'll be here whenever it's ready ;)

It's The Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser, which sounds pretty interesting to me (I've never seen it). I haven't seen many of the films in his lineup, with the exception of Metropolis by Fritz Lang, which I watched at the home of a septuagenarian English prof during my college years (he sat for me to draw his portrait and we became friends).

I love the blurb from the facebook group page for this film society:

The CNA Repertory Cinema Society is a special group for people who are looking for something different, if not adventurous, in their filmgoing experiences. We provide a source of films totally outside the mainstream; Independent Films, Foreign Films and Art-House fare.

This student (who's just out of high school), also recreates the movie poster art by hand on a dry marker board just before every screening. He's my favourite person at the moment, I think. A true original.

I haven't seen that one either. [i]Aguirre[/i] is one of my favourites though, the landscape and images is so breathtaking it gave me goosebumps. And Kinski is so wonderfully crazy :P This film society guy sounds great - especially the movie posters! I looked up the facebook group and the lineup looks excellent :)

I've just gotten into Arcade Fire. Good stuff man. Whenever you do post the update, I'll be sure to have that blasting in my ears. :D

(We sell both Arcade Fire and Belle and Bebastian at my job, so woot!)

Cool. The overall mood of the song really fits. It's a little overblown, and very emotionally charged.

Sweet. You have good music, I see.

If you meant to post it and something else got in the way, I can't hold that against you.

So take your time. I'd love another post, but I'll wait necessarily.
