The Art of War

To quote a line from a cinematic great, Bitch Slap (also an ancient Chinese military general and strategist, Sun Tzu),

All warfare is based on deception.

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive;
when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

Hold out baits to entice the enemy.
Feign disorder, and crush him.

You rarely see the small things and they are what will destroy you, not big, scary monsters, those we see.

Still Bill

I want to go check out this movie, Still Bill about Bill Withers. The clip on Vimeo is pretty sweet.  I can’t believe it was playing at the IFC up until 2 days ago and I missed it… What is this life??? :]

Here is a blurb about the flick from the IFC website, “The story of a 33-year-old Navy vet from Slab Fork, WV, who became, almost overnight, a ’70s soul legend, STILL BILL is an intimate portrait of Bill Withers, the artist behind the classics “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean On Me,” “Lovely Day” and “Just the Two of Us.” Through archival and new concert footage and interviews with music greats, his family and closest friends, the film reveals the man behind the music.”

I’ll let you know what I think when I find it.

I don’t care what you say about it, I was just in the zone with this video. I like post modern, something like, me watching people watching me watch me be me to music while people watch me...

I said it.
