dream.20061027: class, interrupted

by Rob Friesel

A dark, underground structure.  There are huge circular, collapsible blades for cutting and crushing.  A doctor (mortician? the city’s medical examiner?) is associated with this space.  We’ve been investigating him.  He’s the killer?  They’re already dead when they come down here?  We expect a grisly scene; we already know that this is where bodies are […]

Kontroll

by Rob Friesel

If you haven’t seen Kontroll yet: make it your next rental. I could not believe how excellent this film was. A surreal head trip from a brilliant Hungarian director, Kontroll follows the troubled ticket inspector Bulscú Bulcsú and his crew through some subterranean tribulations as a hooded figure pushes travelers into the paths of on-coming […]

nice try, kiddo…

by Rob Friesel

Via B^2: A 17 year old Polish kid got busted after police found him growing pot inside his computer. In a surreal moment here, I recall having had almost this exact dream a couple years ago. Except they were mushrooms (and not pot) inside the computer and it was campus security instead of Polish gestapo.
