Only 360 days left of ‘06
I’m too passive with the posting, so let’s talk about my expectations of the new year. Or rather not. I’ve never been into the year “thing”. Same shit, different number – or something like that. Where’s the big difference? Is it simply a matter of perspective, that people need to cut existence into smaller pieces thinking that they will be able to grasp it more easily? Personally, I think grasping existence is a pointless excersise, so I try to focus on whatever is at hand. Try to process life as it is within reach, and not bother with what happened last year or can happen in 2011.
When it comes to entertainment, a field where lot of people seem to put their anticipations, there’s not much either. I can’t think of any announced albums that I really want to hear, for example. Anyone got any suggestions on what will happen musically in 2006? Same thing goes for books, I guess.
I havn’t given the movies much thought either, but there one of the titles is Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (Chinjeolhan geumjassi or Lady Vengeance, original Korean and U.S. titles respectively), Chan-wook Park’s third film about revenge (following the, in my opinion, brilliant Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy. It was released in Korea last summer, opens here in Sweden in January and I think U.S. release is in March. I’m also a bit curious about how the adaptation of A Scanner Darkly will turn out, since Philip K. Dick
