Day 252: Ichabod Crane
Time to get serious. I need the discipline of the daily in order to make sure that I get the blog done. Being behind means it is too easy to skip days on the theory that I have to catch up anyway so one more day doesn't matter and before I know it, it's two days and then four and so on, until I am here at seventeen days. It's time to stop talking. So much.

They just premiered Sleepy Hollow on local TV here. Amazing cinematography. It is like there is a higher standard of the visual that prevails at the moment. You see it on blogs and Instagram and Pinterest. A snapshot is not near suitable a presentation of the personal, and so the professionals seem to have stepped it up even further. Images have to be perfect, imaginative and beautiful. The four white trees sequence; the bit where the passing vehicle flips the screen. I can't quite explain why I find the imagery alluring, but I do know that I am not a fan of the Headless Horseman. He is, unfortunately, rather essential to the story. In all this loveliness, despite its brutality, he seems like a bad special effect. Like the ones in the original TV version of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy—remember that? Zaphod Beeblebrox's second head? Bad. And 'Ichabod Crane' besides being awfully cute in person (now, and in the form of Johnny Depp), is a great name to roll around your mouth. It's verbally tactile. I'll keep watching for now—until Elementary and Hannibal come back at least.

I think I'll give it a look, then. But I wish Johnny were in it : > Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you're saying about the cinematography. We really have entered a new era of film and television. Sometimes I wonder what they'll think of next. I just watched Some Like It Hot, black and white, and completely entertaining. I was a little relieved. My imagination filled in the blanks quite suitably.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your outfit. The silhouette of the dress, and the shoes! Both top marks with me.
I'd come by more often....but, embarrassingly, I have a real thing about earwigs. Ugh, had a bit of a bad experience with them. Ah well.
Oh no!! I am so sorry - I hope it doesn't freak you out of I commect on your site. If it helps there are no actual earwigs here, it's a language play on the german word for 'forever'. Eek.
