This Gallery Doesn't Exist #4: Yago Hortal

Sometimes I feel bad because I can't or don't track down the original-original source of some image somewhere. The guilt goes away eventually, but I still want to point to noteworthy artists I've come across, when it feels right. Here's the fourth:

Yago Hortal

The Brave Little Toaster.

The Three Caballeros.

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. 

2 Fast 2 Furious.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. 

Black Swan.

The Abyss, obviously. 

Poetry in a Circular Room #3

The randomly generated adolescent poetry of Communications from Elsewhere. Best parts are in bold.

I am
by The Aggregate Kid
i am torn.

the other side of
the nicest thing in
my head says "no" i like maddy
she is the one we know,
the earth is
generous, the earth is
loud with colors all around
me 'cuz i don't want to go
away if you loos your love
abound and you are my brother.

we all see i'm sitting around with
nothing to think of
your hand!

i love
you at night and throughout
the years! for i cry when i hang
with him, someone to talk and
talk. but
there is no
feeling
available to me and
stare, and i lean and i hope he'll be
fine once again.

without you for so long,
i guess it's ok, it
turns out, they just wanted to cry!
she told the story of the
crescent, as he melts in the
night of
april 14th,
1912, was the
sinkable ship someday... he
will always listen don't
worry, i'll never
dread, anything i see.

Personal Best #10-1, or: Are You Watching the Hues? (The Cinema Show 2010)

Previously: #30-21, #20-11

	#10. The King's Speech I felt myself aging as I enjoyed it.
	#9. Catfish Jumps a handful of spots because it might be fake.
	#8. Fish Tank Me, watching this: "Where did that come from?"
	#7. Inception Please oh please let it be the first of many. And I don't mean sequels.
	#6. Blue Valentine Heaven help them all, trying to top this. Of mythic proportions...
	#5. Exit Through the Gift Shop Forget whether it's a documenary. Is it even a film?
	#4. 127 Hours With top marks for ambition, using only one dream-level.
	#3. The Social Network An all-star game of a movie. "Perfect" belongs in the conversation.
	#2. Shutter Island Is there any better? A healthy reminder: genre amplifies this man's work.
	#1. Black Swan The best since There Will Be Blood.

Personal Best #20-11, or: On Any Other Night (The Cinema Show 2010)

Previously: #30-21

	#20. The Kids Are All Right I keep looking for a gimmick but there's none. Should be a nomadic acting troupe.
	#19. Never Let Me Go If only it were not an adaptation, it would be great.
	#18. True Grit I'm not sure how to make this better, but it is not their best.
	#17. Four Lions Funny funny funny funny funny.
	#16. The Town Ooh, this is a sharp one. Swing away, sir, swing away.
	#15. Toy Story 3 Nowhere near the best film of the year, but outstanding all the same.
	#14. The American Today's lesson: how to be a 1960-2010 film.
	#13. Animal Kingdom Has anyone got a studio they can spare? Need more of these.
	#12. The Ghost Writer More precise than Inception, and (nearly) as thrilling.
	#11. Meek's Cutoff Hotel hopping in the wilderness: the best western since the last best western.

Personal Best #30-21, or: If I Don't Do It Now... (The Cinema Show 2010)

I had thought about doing this sort of thing some time ago, but this particular list I've only been putting off for about ten years. If I may be so bold, these are perhaps the best movies of the year, from where I stand.* Probably not exactly your list. But. 

Thirty seems about right, right?

Where the year is disputable, I made a decision. Also, I order them all the way to thirty because I can. Perhaps you disagree?

	#30. Happythankyoumoreplease Or else it's awful. Can not decide.
	#29. Chloe Easy to believe in. With a better ending...
	#28. Nowhere Boy No bias necessary. Would work without him.
	#27. Easy A Wished better things for it, but that's not a criticism.
	#26. Hereafter Try explaining how this works at all; I don't get it.
	#25. The Fighter All its flash was in human form, and that's too much.
	#24. Barney's Version All right with the Canadian content, already!
	#23. Kick-Ass Could score higher if I could remember it well.
	#22. Rabbit Hole So many troubled marriages, so little time.
	#21. Please Give Surprise, another genre picture! Not really.

"Listen, I'm gonna be honest with you. If we don't pull some strings and get this thing going again, we're not going to meet our monthly quota. Frankly, I'm not sure we'll make it to March."

You Should Live Here #22

How about this: a two-floor suite tucked in an iceberg. 

A fake one if necessary.
