Good music, though. Yea, very good. I got plans and Transatlanticism recentely. I'm hooked on Plans, transatlantiscism is good as well, but I prefer plans.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Morte a Venezia (Death in Venice - 1971 - Luchino Visconti) Hmm, how I enjoy that damn Visconti. And for that, Death in Venice is a pleasure to watch. It's a typical Visconti, especially in cinematography and art-direction. Very warm use of colours, and slow zooms. Each set is so over decorated and has got such strange combinations (especially with the colours) that it's brilliant. Not to mention that it so cleverly displays the critique the main character has with the bourgeoisie (at least, that's how it seemed to me). The music is brilliantly chosen (I never really knew much about Mahler, but that third and fifth symphony are, well, brilliant. Deff. gonna look into that more, and I got his biopic today), and Bogarde is playing a great role. Favorite scenes, are the opening when Bogarde is on his way to the hotel, what a mystery and tension. Arrival at the hotel; thanks to the great cinematography you feel you're experiencing the entire scene as you just got somewhere after a long journey; put your stuff on the bed, open the windows, and have a good breath of fresh air. How did I enjoy that scene! And the scene with Tadzio and Aschenbach in the elevator, what tension thanks to the great editing and especially acting by Bogarde. And then there's that sad ending scene. I guess the movie is a bit slow to most by it's observing camera and 'lack' (I don't see it as a lack, but I don't know any other word for it:P) of dialogue, but if you got some patience and/or you're into Visconti, or you read the book and you're curious to how the movie worked out you should deff. pick this up and see it. :)

First game you owned?
I've played that game at a friend's place. I used to sleep at his place every weekend, and in our room they had an extra PC with all those games. Can't remember much of it though. I saw that pic and had it came back to me.

Did the past ever exist?
Heh, I've thought about that recentely. Like, everything is indoctrinated etc. None of it happened, and that we're just an experiment by something higher than us to see how we react and adjust etc. And that when you die, you just get reborn into another 'age' with a different made up history. But when I'm thinking of it, it makes my head hurt. So I stopped. I'd rather not know.

I don't think there's somebody on here who I find "awesome". Which doesn't mean I don't like you of course. Kayla comes pretty close though.
