le diable probablement / the devil probablyrobert bresson, 1977. color. 95 min.
with antoine monnier, tina irissari.
centered on a group of young parisians, this film charts the disenchantment of a 20-year-old who rejects the compromises of elders and peers in favor of commitment to doubt, resistance and self-destruction.
This could be great. Do you want to do this for Project Film School?
Robert Bresson is the director who just did Regular Lovers, right?

all of these goings on are making me want to move to new york. somebody tell me that i can make mad cash if i live there. somebody tell me that nyc is the place to be. somebody help me explain the decision to move far far away (again) to the other side of the country, to my parents. i´ll give you their email address. i’m gonna need mad support.

Money Shmoney. You don’t need to make “mad bucks” to live here. You just need to be flexible with your living situation…patient with others…and have a very high taco/pizza/pasta tolerance.
But we should also start “goings on” pages for other places too…so if you don’t live in NY then you can advertise kickass events in SanFran or Cochabamba or wherever you land!
