Sunrise, Swingset

I was considering marking this occasion with a transcription of song lyrics that I find pertinent and meaningful, but then I realized that I'd already had a contractual obligation to show you the best films to come out of Bummul's film festival. I'm not usually a man of my word but I'm currently being vetted for office so I'll have to follow through.  I will follow through in the form of a Top 10 semi arbitrary list of 13 movies that I want to show you over the next few days.

Dangerous Motions

The boys here do a great job of using a television to pad their film with contextual and unlicensed footage. The stunt work is a bit wooden but the boys' demonstrate a reoccurring theme with an awkward tagline that would make a great film title.

The Poor Boy

The sad tale of a boy who drives himself into poverty. If you don't have a tear in your eye during the poor boy scene at the end you don't have a heart. Of special note is the actor's dedication to the roll of 'bad apple'. Yi Seung Jong put on fifty pounds just for the final scene where we peer into the boys future. Incredible.

Mix Daum Pot

Quite simply the greatest fake smoking I have ever seen.

I have taught my last class an achieved office ornament status until the end of February. This is a great time for us to really solidify our relationship.
