Edvard Munch's 'Vampire'
When I’m at home, which is most nights, I generally like to spend a couple of hours watching movies. This is my personal compromise between needing something to do when I am too tired to read or write, and wanting to avoid the absolutely mind-wrecking shitstorm of what’s available on TV. (Also, since moving to a location below Mount Royal, in the shadow of various skyscrapers, the quality of my television reception has been brutally reduced. Yes, I still watch TV that arrives for free from ‘signals’ in the ‘air’, as opposed to what is piped in via cable for a hefty fee.) Lately I’ve been trying to cut my screen time down by getting stoned and lying around listening to music instead, but there can be no denying the powerful attraction a filmic voyage can have on my imagination.
