1) Choose 10 movies which are central to your personal paradigm.

2) Post this list of 10 in your journal and invite others to do the same.

3) Accept and respond to questions as to the importance of certain movies.
Learn something about yourself and others.

---

I hope what's meant here isn't "philosophical paradigm" because that's not really what these embody, now that I look at the list after having made it... more like "these movies have something to do with my headspace." In no particular order:

1. The Matrix (hush, you.)
2. What Dreams May Come
3. The Last Unicorn
4. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
5. Monty Python & the Holy Grail
6. The Nightmare Before Christmas
7. UHF
8. MST3K: the Movie (hah! managed to slip this in here)
9. Edward Scissorhands
10. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Honourable mention for the upcoming HHG movie (yes, sight unseen) and the Red Dwarf movie (assuming it ever gets made...).

[edit] Harold & Maude. Dear gods, how could I forget. I'm not sure which movie to put it in place of, though. What Dreams May Come, maybe?

Hello

[elemanzer.livejournal.com]

Hi Tass,

I just noticed that you friended me. That is very kind of you. I've read through your first page of entries, here, and I don't see that we have much in common, at least as far as the content of our entries goes. Plus, I try to keep my LJ friends at a minimum. I really have to feel a good connection with someone before I let them read my LJ. Sorry. I appreciate the gesture, though, and wish you all the best.

I friended you I think through hagazusa, since I noticed we have four mutual friends (I am also passingly familiar with idunsgarden) and because of your bio's mention of Old Craft and related topics, which is also something I am quite big on (I don't know if you looked at my interests on my userinfo?). I haven't been in a very "contentful" mode lately (except for some posts in a filter you are not part of), which may be why you think the content of my journal is very dissimilar to yours (the "contentful" posts of late have been in a filter you are not part of), but I think we are actually kind of in the same alley. *shrugs*

Whoops, poorly edited sentence there. Re-read after re-writing! oh well, i think it's coherent enough.

My journal is friends only and not at all filtered. And it is pretty much all magical content. I guess people operate differently on here.

I did look at your userinfo just now. You certainly monitor a lot of stuff! What the Old Craft to me isn't necessarily what it is to others. I'm not really into the RJ Stewart underworld stuff (although I like him as a person, mind you), Chumbley's Sabbatic craft, or Robin Artisson (I was on son-of-art for a couple months, and it was not really my cup of tea; I thought there were some fundamental flaws in the ideas of others that he found inspirational, and I just couldn't match them up with my own occult experience). To each his own and the more the merrier, of course, but I still think we have less in common. *shrugs*

And anyway, you really already do have plenty of friends to keep up with.

Best of luck to you,

E.

Re: Hello

I am curious, if Underworld, Artisson, Sabbatic and etc. don't qualify as "old craft" to you, then what is your definition? I am not very into Heathenism myself, although it seems that my interests often overlap with those of various Heathens.
