This Is a Very Pleasant Pineapple

Alright folks, I have a quick confession to make. I haven't posted in so long because I was contemplating not posting ever again. But then I decided that it was kind of an asshole move (& a little creepy) to never post again but continue stealthily reading other people's blogs. Which is why I bring you this post.

Derek Jarman's "Wittgenstein" is an awesome film about the Austrian philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein. This is one of the best biographical films ever; it is funny, artistic, & a little strange. It also successfully tells the story of his life while at the same time explaining his philosophies in a way that isn't too difficult to understand. It's unfortunate that Wittgenstein couldn't explain himself this well during his own life. Below is a graphic with a quote by Wittgenstein (no relation to the film).
