i don't do '10'

I've been tagged by Ivy to list my favourite 10 movies. I can't do 'favourite' (I'm too flighty) and I don't do 'top 10' anything. But I just sat down for five and came up with a list of movies I would watch again and, indeed, some of these I have watched again recently.

Nothing out of the bag here, pretty predictable, but maybe that's what you'd expect. There's plenty more where these came from, especially a lot of films I saw in the 1970s which seem to have been forgotten (anyone recall Private Vices Public Virtues, or Abundance - err, I meant Providence - remember when Alan Bates was in every movie going?)

Céline et Julie vont en bateau
The Conversation
LOTR 123 (esp 2)
Rear Window
House of Flying Daggers
Hiroshima Mon Amour
North By Northwest
In the Heat of the Night
Smiles of a Summer's Night
Scenes From a Marriage
Les Enfants du Paradis
The Big Lebowski
Fargo
The Maltese Falcon
Aliens
Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back
Poltergeist
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbour Totoro
Terminator 2
Magnolia
Donnie Darko
Demon Pond
Life of Brian
Notorious
Truly Madly Deeply
The Big Sleep
Europa
Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie
It's a Wonderful Life
Requiem for a Dream
To Be or Not to Be (w Carole Lombard)
Vertigo

Great list! I completely understand about not 'doing favourites' -- I can't, either. My list were just movies that first came to mind. :-)

Some of yours'd be some of mine. Hard, always, to pick. And a Libran does dither.

the smell of rain

I went out for a brief walk this afternoon. It was raining, but not so hard you needed an umbrella (I hate umbrellas anyway). And so very strong, the smell of rain. I remember once reading out a poem of mine and having someone come up after the reading and note that I'd used the phrase 'the smell of rain'. I couldn't tell if he liked it or was simply taking the mickey (the latter, I suspect, as he was a very 'cool' poet and I am, manifestly, not). I wondered about the smell. To me it's always been obvious. But today I decided to go and find, and here , via the ABC and CSIRO, is some hard data. The common rain smell comes from a gas called petrichor. Apparently, volatiles evaporate from plants and are absorbed by rocks, concrete etc. When the rain hits the rock, the volatiles are released into the atmosphere. That's why I can particularly smell it wandering along concrete paths and past sandstone walls. If it's good enough for CSIRO, it's good eno...

connecting poetry and TED

As well as taking part in events at the Sydney Writers Festival next week, I'll also be doing a quite different gig in Sydney on Saturday 22 May, at the Carriageworks. I will be part of some readings organised by The Red Room , at an event called TEDx, which is taking place in Sydney at CarriageWorks on Saturday 22 May 2010 and featuring, as the website claims, a selection of Australia's leading visionaries and storytellers showcasing their Ideas Worth Spreading LIVE to a group of thinkers ... as well as ONLINE to the world at large"." It's part of something called TED which is described as "a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design" . As for the poetry part it will include Johanna Featherstone from the Red Room making a presentation about the role of poetry in Australian society. To complement Johanna's talk will be rea...
