You fav movie/book/recording...

<p>@altruition

Haha, it’ll be funny if they did. :slight_smile:
What do you read?</p>

<p>I put in the Mahabharata (I am such a religion/mythology nerd) for book, ‘wanderlust’ for favourite word, ‘La Mala educaccion/ Bad Education’ for movie, The Motorcycle Diaries OST for recording, and grainy films and rainy days for inspiration. And a Neil Gaiman quote :D.</p>

<p>^“Bad Education” has always sounded like an interesting (and very strange) movie. XD I haven’t seen it but have wanted to for a while. What makes it your favorite, out of curiosity?</p>

<p>Everything about it! I’ve always loved Pedro Almodovar’s movies, and as a potential film-maker, I LOVE his cinematography - the bright, audacious colours. I love the two actors (I’m a spanish cinema buff) and I like gay movies, so it was prettymuch granted I would love this movie.</p>

<p>But above and beyond that, it has a fantastic plot, and it’s intricate without appearing to be so. I just got so pulled into the storyline, and what a storyline it was- badass transvestites, angsty directors, Gael Garcia Bernal in four different roles and there’s murder and conspiracy and at one point, you’re watching a movie within a book within a movie within a movie. It’s such a mind****ing, exhilirating, druglike experience.</p>

<p>Sorry for the long post. I could go on and on XD.</p>

<p>

haha, I’d be shocked if they did.
Then again, my friend told me that princeton has an anime/manga club, so…who knows o_O</p>

<p>@Meghnasridhar, that sounds really interesting! I probably should get around to seeing it sometime. Also, you said you’re a potential filmmaker? Me too! I want to be a screenwriter/TV show runner/film director. :)</p>

<p>^ As a potential film maker, especially one into writing/directing- you would love it, I’m sure! Except it might kind of wierd you out, if you’re not used to the…slightly harsh style of european filmmaking (unabashed nudity, outright sexual references, etc), but the way the plot twists and the directors act, is delicious. </p>

<p>If we both, by some divine stroke of luck, get into P’ton, you sound like an interesting person and I would love to meet you! If that didn’t sound creepy, haha.</p>

<p>@chibistar:

I was looking through the clubs lists of a lot of my schools, and a lot of them have an anime/manga club actually. lol</p>

<p>So far, every school on my list has one (yay!)…it just seems like a required club almost. :smiley: Which of your schools don’t, blade?</p>

<p>Hmmm, since Pton had a quote by a poet for one of their essays…</p>
