sometimes u go on google searching for a reference image and you just find something that is totally not what you are looking for but is better than anything u could have ever dreamed

who is she

the moment I saw this woman I was completely overcome with the feeling that she was, at that very moment, somehow divorcing me

Head canon: This is Charleston’s ex-wife’s final form. Like Charleston was her first trial-run divorce, and this is after she becomes a MASTER.

hobbies masterpost!

a really excellent way to reduce anxiety is to pick up a new hobby. find something you’re interested in, learn it, then use it as a healthy and productive way to cope.

Rinko Kikuchi has no time for your weird fetish. She has time for two things only: pyrotechnics and Campari.

I need to get a smarter phone so I can make this my ringtone.

I posted this two years ago. Now, the dream is a reality!

Vaudeville Shows, by Nathan & Zachary Johnson. 11 June, 2005

As we draw near to the release of The Brothers Bloom, I’ll post some related things that I think are interesting. This one is posted for Ronen, who is always egging me on to share incomplete songs.

So Vaudeville Shows is an unfinished tune that I wrote with Zach on ichat about 4 years ago when I was living in England. Rian had me reading The Big Con, and although this tune was still pre-Bloom, it felt exactly right to me for the movie. The main melody from this ended up morphing into the backbone of Stephen’s theme. At one point Rian was seriously considering putting THIS VERSION of the song in the credits. I like the cars driving by outside the window and the low growly vocal, but the ad-libbed filler lyrics, messed up guitar line and abrupt ending felt a bit too… incomplete to me.

Holy shit! A Bloom score supplement I haven't heard? The whole world is topsy-turvy! You can absolutely hear Stephen's theme in this. I am nerding out.

Working on making all my notes for The Officially Unofficial Nearly-Complete Brothers Bloom Motion Picture Soundtrack comprehensible to someone other than myself, because apparently two requests was all I needed. Taking a break to appreciate my OTP: Stephen Bloom and Bang Bang.

Stephen & Bang Bang forever. They're the only couple mentioned in my "Fictional Love" song that is arguably not canon. I WILL TOTALLY ARGUE IT IF YOU WANT THOUGH :D

A couple people have recently emailed me asking about the instrumental version of The Fabulist that plays during the scene on the Fidele in The Brothers Bloom. We decided not to include it in the official soundtrack album (maybe because of the jarring horn cutaway right in the middle that plays along as Stephen references something about thugs and Jakarta?), but I thought I’d post it here for those who are interested. Happy Friday!

You can find the full soundtrack (with the lyric version of The Fabulist) here.

I love this bit. I absolutely understand Nathan's reasons for not including it, but I was so disappointed by its absence when I first got the soundtrack.

Oh, and the horns were when Bloom mentions Stephen getting worked over by thugs in Jakarta, resulting in one of the best lines in the movie: "Have at me, you ham-headed bastards!"

Immediately after this photo was taken, Rian was killed by a golem. The family requests canned hams in lieu of flowers.

So this should probably happen, right? #brothersbloom #tattoo #ink

Do it.

My drawing I did the other day. 

Wait, seriously? I always thought that line was poorly delivered in The Brothers Bloom; apparently the reason it sounded unnatural is that Penelope was reciting a quotation.

Well, shit.

I made this for a school project in which we had to create a title sequence for an existing film. I chose ‘The Brothers Bloom.’

This is awesome! Rian, have you seen this yet?

Zach Johnson’s poster for The Brothers Bloom. Available for purchase here.

If you want your house to look as cool as mine, you can now purchase this poster online. Frame it, hang it in your living room, and also buy a bunch of random shit at thrift stores and hang on walls/place on every available surface.

THE BROTHERS BLOOM is one of my all time favorite films. 

soon after its release, i became obsessed, going as far as writing director Rian Johnson an email professing my undying love, not only for the film, but for him, personally. 

in exchange for my gushing, Johnson wrote me a very sweet email and enclosed 10 image scans from the moleskine notebook that belonged to Stephen (Ruffalo’s character), which had been actually filled by an artist prior to filming.

He explained that the notebook is one of his prized possessions. and, as silly as it seems, i treasure these beautiful images in the same way. 

I have dreamed about the inside of that moleskine. I've known Rian for six years, and I've never even seen that bolero image.

Important note: No, not "an artist." Not just any artist. Zachary Johnson, Rian's cousin, and one of my favorite visual artists of all time.
