Keats in a letter to a friend

"I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of Imagination - What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth" 

John Keats

There's something satisfying in the obscure..

After someone’s died we don't remember the daily grind of terminal annoyance; the epitaph should be lest we remember.

Life is a predator

Life is a predator; I’m trying to lie perfectly still, playing dead in bed and hoping it will pass me by and just leave. me. alone. 

Jodorowsky as seen by Jodorowsky

I wanted the film to enter their subconscious and break down barriers, releasing the spirit, so that the audience would leave the cinema better attuned to the mysteries of life and able to avoid falling into the traps of our society which are based on fear.  One fear after another is served up to us through the lines of communication. We live in fear of economic recession, of terrorism, of blunders, of the end of the world! We live in fear. But if we were cured of all that our brains would undergo a massive change. Because no theories or policies can change the world.

Human beings need to change. Human nature needs to change. There needs to be a spiritual transformation. And that’s the purpose of art.  We cannot find the truth, but we can find a beauty that sheds light on the truth. And all beauty frees the conscience. It expands the conscience and the universe at the same time. I wanted to make films that transformed the audience. Voilå!

Nue! Year!

“To me the most important thing is the power of ideas and expression.  And in a way it’s the most powerful thing humans have. So I like to think about all the lying and murdering thugs that have all the political power and finacial power; all of that power is not equal to the power of ideas.  So I just say forget about the past and bring on the future.”  - Jim Jarmusch

Here's One I Wrote Earlier...

There’s something comfortingly British about the bollard, the same warm feeling I got today when I saw that Peter Purves’ autobiography was called “Here’s One I Wrote Earlier”; not that I even want to read it, just that it exists with that title is enough. Lately I’ve been led to thinking of 'no entry' signs. There’s one at the top of Guildhall lane where I used to live that I regularly disobey. This is because it’s the only way to get to the Buddhist Centre there after 11am, without a special council pass that lowers the bollards at the top of High Street. People, especially older people, often get over excited when I drive up the wrong way. The usually sedate old Englishman will begin to wave his arms about, shout loudly at me and sometimes even attempt to stop me by stepping into the road, simply because I’m going the wrong way up the street. For me, the problem is that 'no entry' signs are open to interpretation, a bollard is not. A bollard is not open to interpretation even with a fast moving giant truck; most of us will be aware of the stopping power of even the common or garden Bollard. I do feel though, a solution could be found to suit all. If a vehicle approaches a one-way street from an illegal direction, bollards could rise from the ground like a civic henge, piping out the glorious tones of “Jerusalem” heralding an end to such socially destabilising driving. Instead of “bollards in motion”, we should hear “so did those feet in ancient times..”

Peter Purves was a presenter on that British national institution of childrens television 'Blue Peter', where the phrase "here's one I made earlier" is oft and fondly used.
