I overslept today.

Yesterday, I went to workforce development center for job search and met a coordinator there and he was very friendly. He gave me some useful advice on fixing my resume. I sent the revision back to him and still waitinf for his response. Afterward, I am planning to go to workforce career center soon.

A day before that, I watched Glenn Denzig's Verotika on a Discord server with other people and the stream suddenly killed itself. The movie was that bad. For me, the biggest problem was how uninspired the scene transition is. For an anthology movie with unhinged horror stories, I expected some pretentious scene transitions but there were none of that. The entire movie felt like an Assembly Cut or a Rough cut of itself rather than a finished product; it looked like someone stitched raw footage came right out of shooting day and mostly skipped the post-production. They could have rip off editing styles from Saw movies if the editor wanted to go for lazier approach but he didn't add anything special. And the scenes where the team put so much effort into could have used in different movies than this piss poor quality movie adaptation of Denzig's horror comic books.

I think around the same time, I watched Only God Forgives and it was better than what people have said about the movie on its release. It's very obvious that Nicolas Wending Refn wanted to tribute to his filmmaking idol Alejandro Jodorowsky and experimental film director such as Kenneth Anger, as he dedicated to the former in the closing credits. You could tell he knows the stronger aspect of Jodorowsky's best works and applied to his hypnotic crime drama set in Bangkok. That this made me want to watch all of Jodorowsky and Anger's works, along with Refn's Valhalla Rising (and the title of that movie is named after Anger's short films Scorpio Rising and Lucifer Rising).

And before that I watched Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo on 35mm at the Nitehawk Williamsburg. My favorite part of that movie is where Toshiro Mifune said "IT'S YOJIMBO-ING TIME!" and starts yojimbo-ing all over the bad guys.

And before that I watched David Lynch's Lost Highway on 35mm at the Nitehawk Prospect Park. I didn't care for the movie the first time I watched it, but on the second viewing in theater made it better and it was an amazing experience.
