Saturday when watching the marathon of Dirty Jobs while comforting Sparky I was thinking. I was remembering when I started watching Dirty Jobs, I was totally fascinated by the jobs themselves, and that Mike Rowe was doing them. As more time and episodes go by, I started growing a bigger fascination with Mike Rowe. I love the guy and I live for his silly words and dirty jokes. In other words, my attention has been flipped. I don't lose myself in the job descriptions as I used to, now I just listen to what Mike says and how the other people interact with them. I also realized that I just want a dirty job. Most of these jobs and factory jobs in general have this odd appeal to me.New season of Heroes starts tonight, it is a 2 hour special. Unfortunately I have to work, so I'll miss the first hour and a half or so.
Yesterday, with the freedom of having the house to myself, I really wanted to watch a movie. Except I had no idea what I wanted to watch. I decided, before studying, to watch Eulogy. It's a good funny film, with a handful of good actors. When I went to study, all sorts of films were
playing in my head, trying to match my mood. I could of watched a dozen films yesterday but I restrained myself to keep studying. It was seriously bizarre. Movie overload! Jeeze. At the end of the night I decided to watch Perfume [I suggest you don't read the description, to make the film a better experience]. I have discussed this film briefly in other posts. I saw it in the independent film theater 3 years ago. And I just recently bought it at Bookmans, while I was also trying to search for the novel. I'm going to have to check on amazon, for I desperately want to read it now. Woo, I just ordered it with my 5 dollar amazon giftcard I received for doing online surveys. Anyways, back to the film. I'm so glad I watched it again because I forgot how much I appreciate the hell out of this film. I also forgot the ending right up until it happened, which made it feel like I was watching it for the first time. I have to say, the guy who played the main character, Ben Whishaw, is absolutely insanely amazing. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I feel like he played the part so well that you can't help but to be on his side. I'm sure my appreciation for the senses and people that are different from the "norm" makes me love this film so much more, but they couldn't of picked a better actor. I also noticed, upon reading about him, that he had a role in I'm Not There. I watched that recently and could not put my finger on why that guy looked familiar to me. Now it all makes sense.
Now this movie, is a great example of something I love. When I see things like this, I get really anxious to tell the world about it. I feel like there is so much that people should know. I guess that's why I always share information. It really really bothers me. I feel like we are missing out on so much. There's just so many good things, so much beauty in the world. Which makes me want to quote yet another film everyone should see, Stay, "There's too much beauty to quit. There's too much goddamn beauty."I hope that's loud enough for you to hear...
