They Make Good Films These Days (Just Not in Hollywood ) - #25

This film makes me very excited to be moving to San Diego. I really hope I get the chance to perform a meaningful song and get no applause at all, like what the lead character is looking for. Just to be allowed to finish something in public would be such a blessing.

Where Ya Gonna Run To?

Sentimentality

“Sentimentality, the ostentatious parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty, the inability to feel; the wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray his aversion to experience, his fear of life, his arid heart; and it is always, therefore, the signal of secret and violent inhumanity, the mask of cruelty.”
James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

For example:

Nothing's Wrong

Ever since I set my Pandora to play the Arch Enemy channel, I have begun to notice that the messages coming from Death Metal are not all Satanic and Cannibalistic anymore. A lot of my new favorites are just awesome and powerful without resorting to the macabre or the sick. I like this.
