Pierre Pilate

On a dû en faire des blagues sur son nom, sur son prénom.

En plus, c'était les mêmes.
Le pauvre.

Saturday 29 August 2009

Your Face

The same things in the same place.
The annoying necessity of a reflection, something magnifying.
It has this, this and that.
It has always been there.

It's your face.

Ambiguous

A somnambulist funambulist.

Mondes parallèles

Coincé entre deux mondes, un mec se demande s'il vaut mieux inventer :

-une machine à finir les puzzles (long tube avec capture d'image au bout, découpe interne en fonction du trou, une pièce trois pièces et le petit plan qui va avec pour éviter de se fouler.)

-un donneur d'organes puzzle.

Fate 2

So I lit up a cigarette, acknowledged, watched over the view, the window opened on a the beach. Walking on the sand is funny, balloons merge up, but the see withdraws always a bit further, so exhausting.

Monday 10 August 2009

Fate 1

I lived in a room with a purple bed and a green closet. A snake stapled my throat. I had two minutes left. I knew less and less and looked forward to know nothing at all, BUT
There was a second room. Same purple bed, same green closet. Furnitures were perpendicular, fate looked a bit different.

From Berlin to Berlin

Vraiment.

" Toute la vie de Raymond Roussel, né en 1877, est tissée d’anecdotes rebattues le consacrant comme excentrique [...]

On ignore trop, en revanche : qu’en 1910, il a croisé Clemenceau au grand hôtel Pupp de Karlovy Vary, en Bohème
, [...] qu’il payait les dettes de jeu de son professeur d’échecs".

(Le Tigre)

Loutre (la)

Narrateur éprouve passion pour une loutre (dans une baignoire je crois).

3. Festival de théâtre, Saint-Sulpice, un panneau :
"La loutre : "Normal ! j'ai huit ans. C'est l'âge des points d'interrogation."" Dominique Paquet, extrait de Les escargots vont au ciel . C'est encore toi Inès ?

Neighbours

Who'll say hi to the freaky neighbours ?

Neighbour 1 : (He's your neighbour more than mine) "You share a property line".

Neighbour 2 : "We're all on the same blocks".

The Burbs

OK

"Mais que reste-t-il si quelqu'un coupe le courant
Allumons le A"

Hélène Bessette, Suite suisse

Requiem

(for 7 days that I didn't spend at the beach).
In such a week, monday and tuesday have to be tasteless. Then comes along ways to be freed from whatever was the substance of those first days.

Week-end: the word speeks of its own concept. No need to elaborate.

We sell mistakes

"Prodej chlebu" (we sell bread)

I quite often read "Prodej chybu" (we sell mistakes)

While the correct version would be : "prodej chyb"

They do sell mistakes

One country further

A drawing by Nath :

1. A girl watches a group of people. In bubbles they say : "and if..." "shit..." "pfff..." "woof woof" "I can't believe it"

The girl thinks : "pfff... always the same. And if I changed the country ?"


2. The girl watches a group of people. In bubbles they say :
"oh..." "I'd be amazed if..." "hi hi" "that sucks"

The girl thinks : "hey, they look cool... I'd like to know them..."

"One country further." Written down the page.

Anyone's dreams are interesting

In my dream I drove a Cadillac. Or more exactly I parked a Cadillac. I felt like it was mine. It was white with entertwined red letters, like a stamp.

Tecktonik des plaques

1. Une forme de psoriaris ? Sur les bras ?
2. Mix. Disque 1-intercontinental. Ligne de basse underground.

And

If I lived in a castle I would be king. Anyone who'd take off my crown would also take my room unless he'd be a revolutionnar.

If I lived here

I would be a writer. I would not think about eating nor drinking. I would keep eating and drinking but not think about it and when it comes to lunch I'd put everything in big colour plates. Or I wouldn't have plates who knows.

(They lived under roofs they were cold in winter and hot in summer. They starved and ate oranges and wrote letters to short-haired girls.)

The Tape 4

This tape was shot during an event. A family went to the supermarket. During the shopping their son remained unusually quiet. He begged for nothing. No sweets. No games. He disappeared but the parents did not notice. Stepping back to their car, they were a couple again. The son took the bus and talked to his imaginary friend.

The Tape 1

This tape was shot during an event. People danced on bus shelters. Feet printed on the dirty glass, ectoplasms with whom other stretched shapes, arms and legs, were united from a distance. Arms intermingled. At the end of the twentieth century music video directors created ad libitum this view of dancing under glass, but it then led to space derealization. People thought everything would exceed the limits. Space and time.

Continental

1. Tiny old man with a scarf, never saw the sea.

2. Can be said of breakfast, as opposed to what... A seashore breakfast? Does it include seafood?

3. Looking for new alternatives: incontinental breakfast?

Thursday 14 May 2009

In the middle

He sits in the back, at the end of the raw. Not the best place (...but from there he can go - short movies he never watches he might get caught). The door says. The field turns into a beach. Once she gets locked, the queen. Etc. Then he leaves.

("Hey, look at nothing but the screen. Do you think the streets changed meanwhile. Do you think you like cinema more than I do.")

Drama egg

Who came first.
What's the Eisein.
I prefer natural light.
Don't paint me blue.
Don't paint me at all.
Someone stole my necklace.
I had an USB key necklace.

Poem

I wrote a poem, and didn't know it was one. I didn't know it was possible. I thought meaning business was a prerequisite.

En même temps

(Dire une chose). Effet comique si c'est la même.

"A la tombée du jour."
"A la tombée de la nuit."

Fakie

Surfers as

An eagle : Mick Fanning in Liquid time. Stil-fly. Still-surf.
A bat : Ozzie Wright surfing with a cape in Sprout. The blacklighting gets the wave nighty.
A torero : Alex Knost in Sprout again. It almost works. Save for the mexican music !
Artists : in all the new documentaries. They paint. They draw. But this just doesn't work (hey).

Radical Mélodie

Comme quelque chose qu'on ne prendrait pas le temps d'écrire, qui n'inscrirait pas dans la quantité. Il y aussi les prétentieux, ceux-là ils prétendent alors on ne fait plus attention.

Ce serait un rythme pour passer la journée. Reste à savoir s'il y aurait une batterie.

On and off

I listened to everything. I changed all your bolts and bearings. But you keep squealing like a haunted castle. I know you have a soul Dude, that's great but I can't tune it.
Yes, that makes me sad too. No, it's not your fault neither. C'est comme ça.

Cires

A peu près Matthew Barney.

Cire, c'est presque cri, et plus précisement un cri. "Les patins!" (s'époumona-t-elle).

Proposition pour un nouveau millénaire

Séminaire millénariste: une majorité ne souhaitait pas que Michel H. fût présent.

Millénaire séminariste: ils étaient nombreux, manquait le séminariste à moto (cf. Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, Première descente aux enfers par la face nord).

Gradation 1

Ma grand-mère a bu la maison, puis elle a bu les animaux et leur grange, puis elle a bu les champs, puis elle a bu la montagne derrière la maison.

Lamprey

"You archaic animal unshaped. I'm gonna shake you in my magic tube that will turn you alternately into a chimerical bottle with wings or a cybernetical mash and you'll be more or less interesting".
The Salmon's army, war verset.

Jumpsuit

Idea of a world where it would be possible to wear a tie and do jumping jacks.

Fausse idée d'un costume sur un trampoline.

Jumpsuit, erotics : in movies, protects heroes during a mission. In our world, gets creepy when you try to unzip it.

How to prove things (for Tyler)


It's raining. Yes it doesn't look like it's raining but look at the floor outside. I'll bring you a picture anyway. No it's not gonna be a beautiful picture it will just show you it rained today there gonna be stripes on it.

Manières d'exposer les faits

Barbey d'Aurevilly. Ame, écailles et niveau social, contraste :

1. "Elle se trompait alors, la généreuse fille, en prenant pour de la faiblesse la délicatesse d'une âme fière à la manière des anges, sans égoïsme et sans hauteur, et la plus divine des choses divines."

"La Sirène joufflue de ces mers avait raison".

(Une vieille maîtresse)

Script (03)

Urban setting, a man runs for his life. He's trying to neutralize the villains. The villains are terrorists, although their intentions are not clear. One of them is played by a dutch actor, although Kirk Douglas was cast first, but then politely declined.

The man catches his breath. He doesn't want to die.

Tuesday 31 March 2009

Horse

Gets chopped up when turned into an object :
1. Horse toy for kids : just the head, attached to a handle.

2. Horse costume : the body of the horse is cut in two, one part for each impersonator.

3. Pony tail : the horse is reduced to its hair.

Thursday 26 March 2009

Ovale

1. De la famille des olives.

2. Image mentale d'un grand salon ovale : mondanités.

3. Famille de visages : "Le visage ovale est généralement considéré comme un idéal, et un visage ovale adopte en principe toute sorte de style avec bonheur.".

The Famous Teddies

1. Roosevelt. Nice Guy! Thinks people are too civilized. Funny!

2. Smith, anonymous. Wears a lot of jackets that don't fit.

3. Bear: bears can be dangerous, unless they are cute. Sometimes they wear t-shirts (a good sign).

2. Madame Irma pour golfeurs.

Tuesday 10 March 2009

Call your mom

- "It's been a while".

Lacets de faits

1 Pince a cheveux, bol, dome de mousse.

2 Vie sinueuse, inclination, epouser -le mariage est toujours courbe-, se pencher.

Fragile food

Milk s fragility is obvious. Drink it up and replace it.
Tangerines seem shyer but leave them in a cupboard for a while and you ll get a real dust experience.

La nature est mal faite

La bouche des poissons pourrait former de fantastiques ronds de fumee.

Sunday 8 March 2009

Carton

If you say "carton" in french, it means cardboard, ok, it means the material, the rough material, but in english "carton" is a thing that contains milk.

Friday 6 March 2009

Seesaw

Observation post for the sky-earth eroticism. Malkovitch stares at the wonder of a sand tide wreathing like silk, Beyond the clouds.

Thursday 5 March 2009

On the set of a new western (directed by an obscure mexican director), the french "jeune première" finds out she has celiac.

She refuses to eat meat loaf for the "welcoming of the lone rider" scene.

When the boatman is on the other side of the river. Take the metal ring that hangs from the cliff and bang it hard against the rocks.

Tuesday 3 March 2009

Pardon

Chez Kurosowa, on s'excuse auprès des chevaux. Être cavalier n'exclut pas la politesse.

Hawaii overseas


Hawaii is a pizza with ham and pineapple, or a coconut cocktail (in Honolulu you´d go to Foodland and buy expensive frozen fish).

Friday 27 February 2009

Memory

everything containing the memory of an other thing

the cup is the memory of coffee

Script (01)

They get James Cameron to shoot the movie instead.

Dans Nuda v Brne (un film), le grand frere explique a son frere debile comment enfiler une capote. Dans cette reprise, l accessoire est un rohlik, c est a dire un petit pain oblong dont la densite frole le zero. Un rohlik est en soi une blague.
Sinon celle du film est drole.

Things that get folded once - it's a one room apartment - twice - a two room apartment - and so on and it gets bigger.

Folded three times, look, it's a swan, because people who do origami seem to like birds.
