The Articisms of Flim

by Eustacio Dippler, Arts and Artisticness Dilettante

Greetings- It is I, Eustacio, posting on this pedestrian blog about the tribby flim flestival this upcoming weeks. As I have seen many of the films associated as well as by having a breadth of knowledge on the subject of the film world as artistic obligation, I am no doubt qualified to speak about it in many ways that are provocative and fantastical. This may be a little too high brow for your normal readers Phlim, but I encourage them to all go out to their local independent video store and rent some Crichterion Collection flims for a starter course (I don't mean Crichtonian films like Jurassic Park III: Revenge of Will Macy). I have devoured many films since becoming a professional dilettante, and must say that this year's lineup of films reminded me of some classics, but in no way lived up to them at all. Many reminded me of the impish charm in Miyahoozaka's seminal work "Farewell My Samurai Breakfast", albeit without the guiding hand of a true master at the helm.

The Emotion in this Raw Image is Palpueble

Many of the films drew quite obvious inspiration from Polish rat trainer Vladislav Kulenski's "Film Of My Rats Doing Pullups I Swear", which is of course not accepted in any mainstream film collection. There were minimalist entries in the fest in the vein of Bloooorg Bjenson's "MUKE" which gave me giddy delight as I nodded along realizing the obvious Bjensonian touches that appealed to true lovers of the form.

The Most Comedic/Jingoistic film of the 20th century

A fellow to my left asked if I could stop nodding my head so violently and mumbling approving tones. He obviously did not understand the true significance. This year's Tribs had a definite lack of understanding among its audience who seemed more interested in seeing the nouveau styles than in appreciating the true classics of the form, but all in all, I was able to make some broad judgments about the people (and films) I saw. Thanks Phlim as always, I shall report back when I have finished viewing at the Toronto 3 stories Underground Film Festival.

This Life of Technicals

This Post Added by Tech blooger BAcon Dippler 

I have submitted for Phlim's approval a brand new Web 2.0 interface that will some day rival friendster.com industries.  It is for a webnet program entitled "kNek-td", and it will some day change the way the webosphere blogs and the blogosphere webs.   The interface will be open-source, web 2.0, AOL-compatible, unix-deinterlaced.  I have encoded it with cloud-computing, Linux ubuntu shushing, and netbook social facebook myspacing.  I dropped Phlim a twitter twat outlining my resourceful and enterprising scheme and he seems very excited, as we are both very tired of the slowness of computers!  We both love being hooked up and connected to what is going on in the net!  Speaking of "The Net", the movie of the same name with Sandra Bullock (my fave actress!) was what inspired me to get into this crazy world of techs.  Look out in the future for my program, thanks and keep staying plugged into the netweb.  

yours, BAcon  

Frosticles of Merit

Phlim here, back from a much needed LONG siesta, or as in Spanish they say, a largo nap!  I just had to write about this story, as the scoutly arts are near and dear to my heart.  

It seems that a young man has earned all of the 121 merit badges needed to ascend to high master of universe scout.  Here is a weblink:  

http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2008-12-29-merit-badges_N.htm?csp=34

Everyone knows that the boy scouts is an honorable competition which takes the childhood mind off of video games and girls, and puts them squarely on gentlemanly pursuits like oaken staffs and garter/sock placement (see above).  

There is, however, a dark side to this regimented organization.  A friend of mine, let's call him for anonymity's sake, Andrew Harold, Esq., was in fact an boy scout for a time.  The man is now one of the more depraved lunatics in my coterie of social accquaintances.  He'll routinely chase old ladies across streets to save them from themselves, and cannot be given a length of string without tying it into a double overhand stopper knot (his favorite), while I tell him always that the fieggen shoelace knot is much more classy.  To each his own.  

In conclusion, the young man who has forsaken popularity, social life, and general fun of all kinds in order to achieve a sash of stitched fabric will surely go places in the business/political fields that he is interested in.  Everyone here at the Dippler blog wishes him the best.

My good friend Joba (from our Danish sister-blog (or SOUER-blog for your Frenchman)))) and I went to a balloon festival this weekend.  We're total ballooniacs!  I swear!  No I swear!  We're such kooks.  Oh well, it would appear that over the years ballooning has really grown from a lot.  Apparently the first goose-skin models were banned for heresy because the balloons were suspected to be able to carry humans illegally into heaven.  These crazy christians!  Pu-LEASE, I am a secular though.  Joba and I are very spiritual both of us.  We believe in only holistics and healing with totally natural stuff!  Joba has this funny joke where he's saying "holistic is a HOL lot of fun"  and I'm like lol.  We had a great time at Balloons 2008 though, it was a balloon festival to remember.  But aren't they all!!!  Really some nice cross stitch patterns, and I was drawn to Joba's passion concerning the nylon vs. neoprene debate.  Inspiration I say.  More like balloonspiration.  BMAGGGG.  Thanks phlim for your generosity in this guest blog.
