Back to the front

  • I realized that my favorite future is the Back To The Future II future. Right? And anything that recalls it is pleasing. That’s why I like the new Wired iPad app. It’s only 90% there, but watching video embedded in ads feels very Back To The Future-y. I’m sure you’ve seen it, but here’s the actually hovering hoverboard by Nils Guadagnin. I once visited the Thomas Kinkade housing development in Vallejo; if that’s possible I strongly think we should build Hill Valley with magnets in the concrete so you can hoverboard around. It is almost 2015.
  • Movies: saw Iron Man II, Shutter Island, Kick Ass, Mutual Appreciation, Mystery Team. Nothing really stuck except the Shoah scenes in Shutter Island. At the top of my list to see next are the new new restoration of Metropolis (I actually have a copy from German TV but will wait for the official release), Greenberg, Enter the Void as always, probably Exit Through The Gift Shop which is playing in LA but I’m lazy…Splice maybe? Watching El Aura, now, by Bielinsky.
  • Food: has anyone made a char siu burrito? Seems logical.
  • New-to-me words: limerence, hebephrenic (P.K. Dick).
