i have been kept up all night, strangely and embarassingly, by regret. specifically, regrets concerning two women i met when i was in paris. more broadly, i've been nostalgic for the independence (even the loneliness) i felt in paris. i feel really robbed of that independence now because i've spent the past three weeks recovering from a really awful bout of mono on my mother's living room couch. bleh.

i feel bad for flaking on n/a and sarah a few too many times. sorry guys. you and jaymc and other folks in chicago are really great. i feel like i abused people on ilx sometimes, by accepting lots of kindness but being sort of aloof in return.

i didn't know an individual could abuse a group

i don't remember you flaking on us? at least no more than i may have. it's cool.

Amateurist, have you seen "Hotel Imperial" (1927) dir. Mauritz Stiller, and what did you think of it if so? just curious, like.
― Pashmina, Thursday, 7 August 2008 13:06 (fifteen years ago) link
IIRC, sometime in 2005, ILX freaked out and changed the date to "June 27, 2001" for a day. Pretty sure you weren't actually here in 2001. Morbius definitely wasn't.
― jaymc, Thursday, 7 August 2008 13:09 (fifteen years ago) link
maybe. i definitely was hanging around in early 2002, when i had been working in e*a*s*o* for a while.
n/a, i feel like maybe i didn't return your phone calls or emails a few times, or said i was in town and then never got in touch to hang out. i guess for a long time (still, in fact) i'm ambivalent about whatever "life" i might have had online and wasn't comfortable making it a big part of my "real" life. if that makes sense. I just hope you didn't get any bad vibes or standoffishness because you guys are terrific, i always thought that. you too jaymc. hope everybody's doing fine.
― amateurist, Friday, 8 August 2008 08:55 (fifteen years ago) link
no i haven't seen hotel imperial but i'd like to! can you get it from tcm or anything? (i don't have cable anymore. :-( )
― amateurist, Friday, 8 August 2008 08:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I got my copy from Grapevine, so the quality isn't awesome, but it's watchable. it's a Paramount, so don't hold your breath for an "official" version.
It's very good! Some amazing tracking shots, a good story, Pola's acting is very good, and in a couple of scenes excellent. The leading guy is good too. I think it's the last Mauritz Stiller movie that survives complete.

Amateurist, I thought about reviving the MS records thread for this but these is so much negativity contained therein.
How do you feel about the five volumes of Lomax field recordings coming out on Mississippi? They've been compiled by Nath4n Salsburg, who's been working with the archive for 10 yrs. Many of the performances have been previously issued on the volumes by Prestige & Atlantic, but there are many previously unreleased cuts as well. On the one hand it complicates the idea of 'collecting' the field recordings due to the extreme duplication with previous issues, but more importantly the puts the material back into print and i think that is much more important than its perception by record collectors, of which i am one tbh.

@amateurist: 'misogyni' is my Danish spellcheck kicking in. Could you please stop making fun of me for being a foreigner? All over this site, you rag me and talk down to me for not being born in the same country as you, and not speaking your language as well as an English speaker. It pisses me off. So shut the fuck up, you xenophobic asshole. How well do you write in your second language? I write fucking brilliant English for a Dane, I've had pieces published on English-language websites, and I'm not going to take your patronizing bullshit anymore. Go to hell.
i'm putting this at the top of my CV
