Miff 2005

Melbourne International Film Festival 2005

  • DEAD MEAT (79 mins)
    Unfortunately this was actually much longer then 79 minutes, but they messed up and only 4 of the 6 rolls came. They still haven’t refunded my ticket.. *grumbles*
  • Dimmer (12 mins)
    OSCAR (60 mins)
    Good
  • TURTLES CAN FLY (98 mins)
    Really really great movie. About iraq, the war, and more.. I cried
  • DISTRICT, THE (85 mins)
    I had to miss this one. Was way too tired to drag myself to it.
  • TOKYO EXPRESS 05 (100 mins)
    This was a disappointment, but what did I expect of showcase japanime? 1 out of 4 was good. Which is a pretty good ratio, thinking of all those absurd japanese animes.
  • Seventeen (12 mins)
    MCDULL, PRINCE DE LA BUN (77 mins)
    Odd very funny, very emotional. Pigs and turtles.
  • BLOOD AND BONES (140 mins)
    Very good, amazing. Beat Takeshi was great, along with all the other actors. But wow.. what a scary movie.. So real.
  • BALLETS RUSSES (118 mins)
    Hopefully I can see this again when it gets a limited release. I’m considering getting the dvd too. It was inspiring and beautiful. The ballet russes, after all these years still has power.
  • KUNG FU HUSTLE (95 mins)
    By the star and director of Shaolin Soccer, so yeah very funny and absurd again. I got to see him afterwards in an interview at the festival club. Lots of chinese fanboy/girls were around.
  • DAYS AND HOURS (96 mins)
    I had to miss this one. Uni was on.
  • IZO (128 mins)
    Ahh and my last film of the festival now gone. This was a bloody weird movie.. Not really sure if I liked it, but I was just drunk enough to enjoy a weird slightly arty, samurai slasher demon movie.

Dynamics and Quantum Mechanics

The first part of this course has me studying dynamics. The Hamiltonian, Hamilton’s equations, etc etc. Why do applied maths subjects always end up with very long sets of equations, where lots of negative signs are likely to be forgotten.
Not to mention all those trig identities I’m supposed to know off by heart.
Euch.
