On The Way - To Lost Highway
On the way to writing the previous blog, I ran into some OUT OF THIS WORLD pictures also by the name of Lost Highway.... DIE!
B Movie is the New A Grade - Nominations for Best Movies EVER - Part 1
As in music, we all have different ideas of what we would like to hear just as in motion pictures we desire abstract realities (for some of us) by the way Directors and Writers portray them. I might be cliche because a lot of these pictures are allocated to the deranged, X Generation and lot of us that like the "abnormal". So if anyone viewing this blog agree's, good on you, if not, start watching.
**NB** B Movie means to the writer of this blog, any movie picture that was NOT nominated for an Oscar and stands to B an Occult movie of a certain generation- Avid movie watchers, please don't be offended. Even though John Hughes should be in here for Breakfast Club & 16 Candles, were getting a little edgier for this post, but we still love you John.
In regards to the topic of fashion and fad's, these are all inspirational for the current times in there own ways (my kind of fashion) .. Lots of 80's, Pin Ups, 70's era
Death Proof - Written & Directed By Quentin Tarantino
Deathproof, a movie that I had to watch over and over again for a period in my life. The cast, made up of very versatile and strong females and the "protagonist" - Kurt Russel (in my opinion a great choice).
There is no better outcome then the one shown in this movie and makes the femanazi inside of me rage with fury...
As everyone and their mother has said, and I agree to... Yes, this flick is full of female dialogue, there is no way around that, but the substance of the writing is true to the T and so inspiring for young females who love spunk, bongs, dancing, music and a little ass whipping.

True Romance - Written by Quentin Tarantino
All I have to say is Christiaan slater & Patricia Arquette! Together and you get a wild fire of passion and undying love just as Natural Born killers. I have always been a fan of characters that are struggling to find their lives, even if they don't amount to much... This is one of the most romantic pictures that has ever come to pass.
Lost Highway - Directed by David Lynch
Lost Highway completely floored me when it came not only to the Soundtrack produced by Trent Reznor ( a musical god) but the storyline like most of Lynch's pictures, are usually completely whacked and very hard to follow - we wont mention the intricacy of Mullholland Drive that I still don't understand till this day.
Patricia Arquette along with Balthazar Getty made the imagination drive into places of intense attraction as well as non attainable fantasy.
Heathers
There might be a definite "theme" to this blog it seems by the continual posting of couples in crazy movies and here he is again, Christiaan Slater. Winona Ryder has to feature in this blog as she has to be the B grade actress of them all, not forgetting about my fave, Patricia.
This story line, wow, wanting to kill all of the popular girls in school that you once were with your hot non conformist - psycho boyfriend, yes please!

Sophie Morner (Most Importantly) & Other Daily Chores
Unknown Ancient Painting That I found
Since I started the Hunter blog, obviously my knowledge of the outside world has yearned to expand since no one wants to read about boring and mundane stories and i sure as hell dont.!
I am inspired!
A woman by the name of Sophie Morner has turned my head in more ways then one, besides the fact that I am obsessed with horses, well being a Hunter and all, not a hunter that kills for sport rather a Hunter that seeks all that is different, seductive, raw and undeniable, it all goes hand in hand... Besides her eccentricity and encompassing the same vision that I have, she is recognizing South African Photographers which is incredibly special to me. Here is the article to learn more about this incredible woman by the NY Times - Sophie Morner
When I moved back to South Africa from Los Angeles, one of my biggest desires was to push out all the artistry into the outside world (I mean all of it and the entire wold). I found that a lot of people misconstrued South Africa to be something that it wasn't. Only in the past few years has the outside world only started to touch upon the purity and sophistication of this country. Some people were misinformed about the life and intellect of the country due to "crime" and 3rd wold behavior. Thats okay though, because Africa herself is the biggest untouched secret and you actually have to set foot on her soil to feel the essence of her wild and unharnessed being.

Let it Flow...
I would personally like to thank the Karin + Raoul Blog for posting this new video and song by Radiohead.
Karin + Raoul has to be one of the sexiest blogs / sites in photography and fashion that I have seen. Sex is definitely defined on the site (which I love, especially through photography and music) though all the photographers that become their favorites are tasty as in delicious, not forgetting to mention, striking and full of everything that you think of when one fantasizes about (whatever comes to their particular mind when fantasizing about sex)
Radiohead, well they never manage to surprise me and its so nice to see Thom Yorke letting lose and dancing, there is such a freedom about him.
I managed to see Radiohead in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl years ago before moving back to South Africa, beautiful front row box seats... The tears that flowed between myself and my best friend were unbelievable. It was the year that they released Hail to the Thief and we hailed alright. Probably one of the most exquisite performances I have ever seen in my life and the lighting coordination was nothing short of spectacular.
