Where is it? Is it somewhere relatively undiscovered? Is it a vacation spot? Is it a place in your memory? Is it just in your own home? AND WHY is it your favorite place to return to?

yesssss..

I can see that. With infinity there comes a sense of hopelessness I used to hate constraints- budgets, schedules, and preferred everything to be spontaneous. Within the last few months I've fully realized the liberation that comes with constraints. Counterintuitive, yes, but all constraints free up your mind instead of using up energy dealing with randomness It was Godard who had this lovely quote about big budgets. I'm paraphrasing here, but he said that big budgets dilute film to the lowest common denominator.

i'm fascinated by imposed limits though! have you heard about the french group Oulipo? All about writing with limits.

no i don't.. tell me more!

haha that's so cute. I have never met a Kurley before- she must've been the black sheep of the family, a strange bird

YES I have!! I loved it for its darkness and brutality. A film I'm watching now that actually made me think of Benny's Video is Noriko's Dinner Table. It has similar themes of violence as entertainment, depersonalization through exposure to media/internet, and a dire need for authentic connection due to the disconnection in the technological era. Haneke is one of my favorite directors. He's very confrontational about the purpose of media/surveillance, why we consume what we consume, and whether we should. Cache and Funny Games are some of my favorites of his along with Benny's Video.

Here's a quote by Freud on Sadism in his Three Essays on Sexuality: "In sadism, long since known to us as a component instinct of sexuality... we have before us a particularly strong alloy... between trends of love and the destructive instinct... in sadism the death instinct twists the erotic aim to its own purpose yet fully gratifies the erotic aim," Some food for thought
