Best Beach Parties of All Time: "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" 1983
ok, so let's just get a few things out in the open:
1. the original star wars movies were AWESOME. especially for a six-year-old boy.
2. george lucas has since ruined star wars forever.
3. he even managed to ruin this ending when he re-made it in the late nineties.
that being said, this is a great beach party. who wouldn't want to party with ewoks?!?! ok ok, so it might be a little essentialist and colonialist, what with the indegenous, non-sensical, care-free ewoks, who play drums and dance in the woods, but they are cute as a button!
in love,
ge

Best Beach Parties of All Time: "The Neverending Story" 1984
well friends, here is the second installment of my series on "beach party endings". i still can't watch the end of this movie without getting a little misty-eyed. it's so good!
A sampling of the amazing quotes found in this clip:
"I will do what I dream!"
"In the beginning, it is always dark."
"Fantasia can arise in you."
awesome.
in love,
ge

Best Beach Parties of All Time: "The Phantom Tollbooth" 1970
what is a beach party, you say? i'll tell you. a beach party is an ending of a film or play in which all characters rejoice and celebrate. everyone's happy, everyone's celebrating, the hero(ine)s have triumphed, all major characters involved feel better about life (maybe even the bad guys!), and good times prevail. actual beaches may or may not be involved. actual partying may or may not be involved. it could all be metaphorical or implied or....what am i saying, you know what i'm talking about! beach party!
so, fine friends, this is the first part of a series celebrating "the beach party ending". it happens way more often than you might think, and, coincidentally, i only love movies with beach party endings.
ok, first off, "The Phantom Tollbooth." i loved this movie and book so much growing up. it has a great beach party ending. in this final scene, the princesses of Rhyme and Reason are freed from their captivity in the castle in the air and return to a world that needs them. milo, the little boy who frees them, has just completed a wild and scary adventure....and now, it's beach party time!!!!
in love,

"Meetings with Remarkble Men" - A Film About Gurdjieff
this little gem is brought to you by, blair. i'm gonna miss you, friend. may your spirit find peace and wholeness.
from the youtube description:
Filmed in 1979 by Peter Brook. A classic spiritual movie of G.I. Gurdjieff struggles beginning with his childhood until his discovery of The Fourth Way, an ancient spiritual tradition that used sacred movements as meditation. The story in this film is based on Gudjieff's book with the same title, which is the second book of his trilogy: "All and Everything".
During his long career, director Peter Brook has conducted a wide range of theatrical experiments, pushing audiences and performers well beyond their typical experience of theater, in an effort to achieve not a temporary catharsis but a transcendent, transformative event. As the narrator of THE MAHABHARATA says, "If you listen carefully, at the end, you'll be somebody else."
This interest in transformation that has characterized the latter part of Brook's career continues with this adaptation of the autobiography of famed mystic G.I. Gurdjieff, which stars Dragan Maksimovic. Driven by a sense of unwavering dedication to unraveling the meaning of human existence, he journeys throughout the most unattainable areas of the East, encountering an array of Hindu fakirs, Buddhist monks, whirling dervishes, and gurus of every stripe.
In search of enlightenment, he climbs the Himalayas, walks across the desert on stilts, and uncovers evidence of an ancient order, guards of an arcane wisdom. Most fascinating, perhaps, is the form of dance he created as a form of meditation and later taught in the West. A film that may be best appreciated by those already familiar with the work of Gurdjieff, MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE MEN features spectacular photography and a highly evocative score, incorporating various indigenous musics.
- you can watch the whole movie on youtube! this is just part 1! get some popcorn!
in love,
ge

Woah...the last post, with fervor
i have to admit: it is hard for me to watch this video without getting seasick. it is taken from an IMAX movie, so i can only imagine what it would be like in that setting. it is basically the same premise as the last post but with better special effects.
wowza!
thanks, terence!

A Fantastic Trip
my poppa forwarded this to me. it's such a good reminder of the power of perspective.
i've been bummin out, confused, unsure, and uneasy. this video gave me some peace. it reminded me of several important things worth remembering:
1. we are not in control
2. the universe goes on
3. we are enmeshed in the fabric of existence
4. there's no such thing as being alone
5. you are a miracle, a total f-ing miracle
6. there are worlds upon worlds within your fingernail
hallelujah.
thanks, dad.
in love (and struggle),
ge
