Pour ceux d'entre vous qui parlez français, je me suis créé un blog. Ma page dA sera reléguée à l'arrière plan. Pour ceux que ça intéresse, voici le blog en question : epinettenoiredevingtcinqans.bl…
And for those among you who don't speak french, this dA page will now be put aside somewhat, as I have now made myself a blog. As you may have guessed, said blog is in french (my native language). I'll still be active on dA as far as looking at other people's stuff and commenting on it is concerned, I'll simply not post any more journals, or do so even less often than was my habit.
That's it. FrostBlast out.

Hmm... just thinking out loud...
Why do people stop digging after they get to Clockwork Orange? I mean, okay, it's a good movie, I've watched it quite a few times, but there's stuff that's SO much more interesting out there - and it's definitely not Kubrick's best work, in my humble opinion. Really. I mean it. But for some reason, it seems that when people get "Clockwork-Orange-deep" into cinema, they just stop digging. I've stopped counting how many times I've seen this movie listed on people's profiles, here on dA. Quite often, it seems to be named right before/after Nightmare before Christmas, which is also a fun little movie, but somewhat over-rated, thanks to hordes of
I shall be clear
I just saw the newly restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, at the Place des Arts de Montréal. It was shown with live symphonic music specially composed by a local composer for this event. For those not aware of it, a master tape of Metropolis was found in 2008 in Argentina. The movie itself dating from back in 1927, bit and pieces have been damaged and/or lost over time, resulting in a somewhat incomplete version of the movie. Well, the master tape found in Argentina contains a *massive* chunk of what had been thought lost. So Kino International and the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung foundation got a hold of that material, rest
Don't know where to start...
... So I guess I'll start at the beginning.
I don't like religions.
I'm a rather spiritual guy, with lots of philosophical questions hangin' around inside my skull. No matter in what "main" religion I look, I seem to find only stuff that makes me sad about Mankind. Why should we "fear" a divine being? Why should there be only *one* divine being? Why should there be *any* divine being at all? Why should we even think a concept as far-fetched as a "divine being" is even credible to start with? Let's face it : religious belief consists in saying that something exist and, when faced with a lack proof, answering "well, I simply believe in it." O
Writing
Well, that's it. For 10 months now, I've been writing a lot more in a much more constant fashion. Mostly because I'm in Creative Writing at university, but also because I realize how huge my motivation is. I write, write, write, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, and on, and on, and on. And I love it. As Akira Kurosawa so famously said, "It's wonderful to create." My characters surprise me, my story-lines as well. "Let the text speak for itself," I learned in my courses; "the author can't say anything for himself in his own texts," is another powerful lesson on writing. The text must speak for itself, the character must act for themselves. A text is
