FMST 323 / Epic Artist Love: HAYAO MIYAZAKI


Firstly, ignore whenever Disney is mentioned.
Secondly, watch everything this magnificent man has ever made.








P.S. This blog post is obviously directed towards anyone except Rida, who is responsible for my Miyazaki love in the first place.

Taken from juxtapoz:
We think it is quite well-known that video art is at a good place, and we always enjoy when something gets put onto our desk (or computer screen) that is new and original in our eyes. Paris-based video artist(s) CRCR has expanisve talent at both animation and stop-motion video art with actors, creating some of the most unique video shorts we have seen this year.

FMST 323: Animé


Akira - Katsuhiro Otomo, 1988

I can't wait to watch this in its entirety!

I heart books!

BBC thinks the average person will read only 6 books/series from the 100 named here.
Here are the ones I've read. I get 15/100. I guess I'm above average, according to the BBC?
By my high-school reading standards, my list is kinda pitiful *punches Concordia readings*
SO many titles on the list are on my "to-read" list i.e. Dune, Life of Pi, On The Road, The Lovely Bones, etc. etc.
Sigh.

2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
8 Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
9 His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
25 The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
29 Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
33 Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis
41 Animal Farm - George Orwell
42 The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
46 Anne of Green Gables - LM Montgomery
58 Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
61 Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck
73 The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett
99 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl

Here is an amusing little stop-motion that made me wonder whether I have a book fetish:
