A couple of years ago I attended a conference here in Toronto and Hillman Curtis was one of the speakers. Strangely enough I don’t recall the conference (an RDG one I believe) nor the topic of his lecture but I do remember this short film.
It moved me immediately and it still does today. If I try to sum up why words often escape me. My interpretation of it shifts. Today, this is my interpretation:

This video has already made it’s blogging rounds, but it’s new to me and quite mesmerizing. It’s shot by Jon Rawlinson at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. It’s so serene to watch. The shadows of people looking into such a wonderful, almost secretive world combined with the music make it just perfect.
One can’t help but think of the BP disaster. :(
As things have been a little heavy around here lately, I thought I’d lighten things up a little. Just yesterday, I was reminiscing with my friend Michelle about our favorite movies growing up. One of my all-time favorites was Weird Science. I swear, back in the day I could probably have told you every single line verbatim. Including this scene – my favorite.
Other favorites included St. Elmo’s Fire, The Breakfast Club and anything with The Two Coreys (RIP Mr. Haim!).
I’d love to hear what your favorite movies were growing up. Feel free to link to a clip of it in the comments. It might get held for moderation due to the links but I’ll approve it don’t worry. :)
