Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not here I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond's glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the autumn's gentle rain

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush.

Of quiet birds in circled flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not here I did not die.

   

Thank you Kevin J. for your kind words about the N. Zedd interview.

bye :)

Excellent critical review on this odd, yet not surprising, new NETFLIX sponsored exploitative documentary.

p.s. If anything, this film leaves you appreciating just how challenging it is to find a good actor these days. bye.

Blast from the past. A time when 3-4 movies could fit into one half a pound magnetic box. Memories sweet memories. And now here is a memory lane trip inside of the headspace of my dear friend and forever pal Tom speaking about his amazing old school 35mm still photography work (Tom only works on celluloid) ...

Love ya Tom. bye!

 Rest in peace, ERIN MORAN.

p.s. Despite working on and off as an actress, Moran reportedly lost her Palmdale, California, home to foreclosure in 2010, according to documents. According to the documents, the house was sold at public auction for $291,150. It was also reported that Moran refused to leave the home after it was sold and was served with eviction papers.

Such an interesting film and unusual ghost story. I honestly hesitated for many months to watch this new one by my dear friend Olivier despite his pushing, as his films are usually very meditative in mood, but this one is really 'suspenseful' and in the creepiest of ways by using contemporary electronic communication devices and the contemporary climate of 'mystery' that is attached to all of our social media tools and the world wide web that imprisons us. This film will soon become a creaky ectoplasm classic of the avant-garde cinema. bye.

A nail gun, nailgun or nailer is a type of tool used to drive ugly painted fake fingernails into wood or some other kind of material that you can flier up with duct tape around town. It is usually driven by compressed air (pneumatic), electromagnetism like Superman uses, highly flammable human Taco Bell gases such as butane (or propane if you have had modern-day holistic surgery), or, for powder-actuated tools, a small explosive charge that makes a big KABOOM sound. bye.

Field Recording - 'WIND'

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/apr/12/the-man-who-interviewed-the-wind 

'What do we really hear when we hear the wind? In fact, what we are hearing is moving air colliding with – and playing – the surface of the Earth. It is the grass that is singing and the trees that are soughing. When the wind blows, each thing creates its own distinctive sounds, from the swells of the sea to the sands of the desert, from the rolling mountains to the vast ice-sheets, from our blocky buildings to the cables that connect them overhead.'
