“…And when it came to the final sequences of the film I was forbidden to use fireworks.  I told the army major [in Kos, Greece] that it was essential for the film.  ’You’ll be arrested,’ he said.  ’Then arrest me,’ I said, ‘but know that I will not be unarmed tomorrow.  And the first man who touches me will drop down dead with me.’  The next day there were fifty policemen and soldiers standing watching me work, plus a few thousand people from the town who wanted to see the fireworks.  Of course, I was not armed but how were they to know?  Nobody complained or said anything.  So through all these incidents I learned very quickly that this was the very nature of filmmaking.”

Wener Herzog on why he is a badass/How he made his first feature Signs of Life.

Seriously read Herzog on Herzog.  It’s amazing.

Ouch.

But kinda funny in a weird meta, life is a movie way.

These two photos were back to back in my camera and I thought they made a handsome pair.  More telling is that I took both of these photos.

But what if I get too warm?  What?!  Unzip it?  Oh!  Great!  Yes please!

We are back to Negro again?  Seriously?
