5 filmmakers standing in the kitchen talking about films they love and hate. 3 women and 2 men. they've been trying to leave the house for the past hour but the conversation is too good to make their legs move towards the door.
it becomes a free association of films and expressions of likes and dislikes as each one is pronounced. films mentioned include: dogville, the fountain, children of men, code 46, farewell my concubine, and even talladega nights.
suddenly and without any yellow alert to help the wayward prepare, somebody says: "can you imagine a world without the beatles? it's going to happen. and it'll be sad when it does." there's mention of how we aren't killing the earth and that we're only kiling ourselves. and also that humans won't be here in a million years.
we are now into geopolitics and the quiet one in the corner speaks up: "no one knows what's going to happen when you mess with dna."
but i'm still 'in pause' over the beatles comment. thing is... i am not a beatles fan. but the verocity of the statement somehow has made raw and bright the idea of our existential existence. that our lives are so short. that human existence is short.
bummer.
