will and i, or me and will
further updates:
will and i hung out this afternoon.
first i laboriously and selectively listened to him talk about film, speilberg (he's getting turned on to speilberg?).
we went to the camera center, where he purchased a $95 light meter with traveler's checks. will's credit past is pretty shaky, traveler's checks were the right move (hence, a la parents). he has changed, i noticed on the way to buy the light meter, will had full vision again. he had finally replaced his glasses with a pair of sleek, geek/hipster ray-ban's, which deflect glare through some extreme form of 2004 technology.
turns out, will is leaving wednesday for los angeles, where he'll stay with brad and get things going.
will toyed with his russian 16mm in front of me, asked me to edit his and brad's short film they create while out in l.a. with that "fine piece of artilery" (i say that only because its russian, which makes it cooler--but will will never really get anything tarkovsky/eisenstein/paradjanov-esque but maybe the essence will be there).
will continues to think i want something to do with l.a. i keep deferring. i am indifferent but i am from detroit. that is where i belong. plus, it was founded by the french (but i hear they feel sorry for those from "gotham city," especially the french-canadian). regardless, i don't dream the l.a. dream and i certainly don't wish to obtain any of their methods of filmmaking. not in a snobbish sense, but in a prude sense. i just can't bend over that much to get what i want. plus, its not what i want, its what "they*" want.
(*they, meaning the audience. will discuss further as i check out to refresh my memory with the correlation between visual medias and visual/audio perception by attending a film conference this week at my college.)
i've decided to re-continue my use of the blog.
additional notes:
came home from detroit this morning to find nick and unidentifiable girl passed out (both of them face down) on his twin bed. they looked comfortable but probably weren't at all.
i miss andrea.
