THE MYTH OF SISYPHUS

SOME YEARS BACK, A WISE OLD SAGE SHARED WITH ME THE WONDERFUL STORY OF SISYPHUS. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, QUICK RUNDOWN: THE GODS HAD CONDEMNED SISYPHUS TO CEASELESSLY ROLLING A ROCK TO THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN, WENCE THE STONE WOULD ROLL BACK DOWN ON IT'S OWN WEIGHT. THE GODS HAD THOUGHT WITH SOME REASON THAT THERE IN NO MORE DREADFUL PUNISHMENT THAN FUTILE AND HOPELESS LABOR. I KNOW AT THE TIME, I JUST SAW THE MYTH AS A LESSON OF PERSISTENCE, BUT OVER TIME I REALIZED IT WAS BIGGER THAN THAT. THE ROCK IS A SYMBOL OF LIFE AND ULTIMATELY WE HAVE THE CHOICE TO EITHER SUFFER OR ENJOY THAT ETERNAL HILL. BASICALLY, SISYPHUS SAID TO HIMSELF, "OK, THIS IS MY FATE..I AM SUPPOSED TO DWELL IN MISERY, BUT THAT'S JUST NOT HOW I ROLL" (PUN TOTALLY INTENDED)!! SISYPHUS WAS HAPPY!!

OK, I KNOW EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS, SO LET ME BE THE NEXT TO SAY, I WAS THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH KANYE WEST'S FIRST FILM, RUNAWAY. THE VISUAL PALETTES WERE STUNNING...CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS KUBRICK/FELLINI-ESQUE...AND HOW MANY RAPPERS HAVE YOU SEEN USE BALLERINAS? IT'S HIP-HOP SATURATED IN CLASSICAL EUROPEAN ELEMENTS!

KRULL - 1983

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!!!!...AND SURPRISINGLY, NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW..IT'S A HEROIC FANTASY FILM STEEPED IN BAD-ASS SWORD AND SORCERY VISUALS. IT'S LIKE "STAR WARS" MEETS "LORD OF THE RINGS"..JUST A TAD BIT CAMPIER. AND HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THE KRULL GLAIVE WEAPON? I MEAN, COME ON..IT'S BEDAZZLED FOR PETE'S SAKE!

BASQUE HEALTH DEPT. HEADQUARTERS - SPAIN -

THE ARCHITECTURE ON THIS IS CRAAAZY!!! THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IS LOCATED IN BIBOA, SPAIN AND WAS CREATED BY A YOUNG AND PROLIFIC FIRM CALLED COLL-BARREU ARQUITECTOS. NORMALLY, I WOULDN'T PREFER MODERN ARCHITECTURE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF OLDER DESIGNS, BUT FOR SOME REASON THIS JUST WORKS FOR ME. THE DOUBLE FACADE DESIGN MAKES IT LOOK AS IF THE BUILDING IS IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMING INTO A SKYSCRAPER. THIS IS REALLY STUNNING!! SOURCE: COOLBOOM
