Everything can be seen in black and white

So I just finished up my Friday evening by watching the 1942 classic Random Harvest. Well...it's a classic to me...and about 3 million really old people. and my mom. Therefore, it's important. It's a CLASSIC. I mean come on Greer Garson! War! Amnesia! Ronald Coleman! Random things! what could be better? (note: I'm not being sarcastic, I love this movie) While I was watching the film I not only walked on my roomate's back to ease her discomfort, but I started thinking about black and white filmmaking. Mostly because at one point the light (meant to be sunlight) made greer garson's (Paula's/Margaret's) hair shine really brightly and I thought wow you know in color films...you don't get that. you get brighter colors, not the impact of light and dark, the beauty in the purity. So anyway, this blog is not actually about black and white films (although I'd LOVE to talk about the dramatic irony in having the audience realize that Margaret is Paula way earlier than Charles does and wayyy earlier in the movie as opposed to in the novel (1942 James Hilton) where only at the very very end do both Charles and reader discover that Paula and Margaret are one in the same....unless you're reading this blog in which case well you're spoiled so...go read the book and enjoy your aforementioned dramatic irony.

Moving on. this blog is about black and white THINGS. Not people, mind you. I think racial tensions are stupid and I pretty much refuse to discuss them. I love all people regardless of color. Stupid people, however, are not loved. But that's just me. I'm...intelligist. Anyway. So. black and white things. Well...there are films and photographs and stuff but I'm not going to TALK about them. No. I'm going to make everyone a little more informed on the world of what is black and white.

1. Bunnies
In a google search for "black & white" I came across this clip of bunnies named "black" and "white" eating. they're adoreable. If you like bunnies, go.

2. Black & White Print Communications
I'm not actually sure what this company does but it has something to do with corporate branding and "collateral materials." If someone figures THAT one out, lemme know.

3. Black & White Cookies





okay seriously if i NEED to explain that one then I also NEED to kick you.

4. Black & White: The Computer Game
Developed by Lionhead Studios in 2001, this empire-game makes the player a "god" ruling over an "island" populated by "various tribes."
Apparently there is a sequel, Black & White 2.

anyone???


5. Black & White Cabs
This Australian Taxi service provides both everyday i-bought-too-much-at-the-suburban-australian-mall transport, as well as school transportation. Isn't that lovely of them? PS did you know that they have 6-digit phonenumbers in Australia? I'm almost jealous. Not even area codes...

6. Black & White: A New York Magazine Critics' Pick bar in the suburbs of the East Village. they do open mic AND have a DJ. sounds like fun!

7. Swans
Yes, they can be black OR white!




anyway, that's it for right now. i think i've fulfilled by boredom quota for the evening. peace out :) :) :)
