The Streets of New York / Inland Empire - David Lynch

The Streets of New York
Ok so today we have some fun things to do. Stopping by the "The Streets of New York" exhibit at the national gallery to see some photos taken back in the 30's and 50's. I love photography so this is right down my alley. I really like it. The photos were interesting. A couple of them were "Moved me" photos. These are photos I can really look into the persons eyes in the photos and maybe feel a little bit of what they felt like. Try to understand dreams , pain and maybe a little bit about their life. Their were a couple photos you could see no doubt.

Inland Empire - David Lynch
I went to see "Inland Empire " with Sharon. One thing i like about my friend Sharon she always thinks of really good movies to watch. This movie was very very strange. Why would someone expect less from David. I asked the guy sitting next to me if he knew what the movie was about he said "this is my second time seeing it and I have no idea". After seeing the movie I had a pretty good idea to what Dave was saying. I do not want to spoil it here so I will not but let me say this movie should have been cut down into 1.5 hours instead of 2 hours. To many repeats of the same person running down a hallways looking scared. Ok we get it she is scared she is running down a hallways with a hand chasing her. After the movie Dave Lynch came out and let members of the audience ask question about his movie making style. it was cool listening to him as he was humorous and had a very artsy way of looking at his film making. Would I say this movie was bad. I always say it depends what you like. Main stream American will never get into this type of art form but he has his fans and thats all that counts. I think the funnest part of it all is how much people kiss up to the people in the movie biz. Everyone wants to be a star. Not sure why but people seem to want to be in the lime light. As fare as I am concern you can take it. Why would you want people to never be real around you? I mean every acts so fake. He is just a person just like Brad Pitt or anyone else. It just kind of amuses me to see how people will act some times around "Famous people".
