CILLIAN MURPHY as Pieter in Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) | dir. Peter Webber

[elskiee]

just watched girl with a pearl earring (2003) and suffice to say i was left baffled. so you're telling me the person getting painted and bejeweled in pearls like a doll is NOT this one??? oh so this absolute beauty is supposed to work in a farm, instead of staying at home being pampered and adorned with diamonds?? like what's going on here

Experimental Cillian Art

Tempera on canvas, lots of suffering and joy

That was a whole new experience for me: I did a few canvas before, but never used tempera before and never tried to mimic something as beautiful as old paintings (I failed there, I know))).

'The Girl With The Pearl Earring' never was my fave movie (I don't like the movies about artists in general, it's just not my cup of tea), but admiring the golden haired Cillian Murphy hit me hard. I looked at this beautiful face and thought: why couldn't this be an inspiration for an artist?

I wanted to imagine what would it be to make a portrait of Pieter. How horrified the boy would be at first. But how he would wear his best suit – the one he used to wear in church, with those small shiny buttons...

And yeah. Happy birthday, Cillian Murphy, love you – not only like fangirling, but in very human kind of way. It's good to live in this world with such cool people.

Dune 2 is out, and as a huge fan of the franchise I am in a semiferal state of hyperfixated fervor. I’ve been reading the book again as a coping mechanism, but it has been sort of difficult finding a social outlet for it. See, there is a lot of fascinating worldbuilding that isn’t in the movies and a lot of messianic philosophy that isn’t quite summed up by ‘well actually it turns out Duncan is the real Space Jesus.’ My wonderful girlfriend suggested this metablogging thing might be a better way to get my fix than stopping strangers on the street with a passion for science fiction easily mistakable for radical Islamic fundamentalism so HERE WE GO

One thing that kinda blows my mind reading through Dune is how both movies have given us radically different portrayals of Baron Harkonnen and how both of them are totally believable in the context of the original text. If you’re not familiar, the new sexy Dune gives us this raspy Kingpin type Baron that wades around in a bunch of unsettling fluids with this villainous gravitas like a fascist hippopotamus. In David Lynch��s 1984 Dune we are still dealing with a caricature of obese evil, but he’s just so goddamn jolly about it. He’s giggling and spitting and cavorting around in antigravity while Games Workshop writers take note about how everyone loves his boils. These depictions are so opposite to each other that seeing them both in the text is giving me this weird double vision.

I think the reason is this beautiful context we don’t really see in either version of the film, and that is the psychopath mentat Pieter DeVries serving absolute cunt with his exposition. It’s a worldbuilding thing. The Baron has a 15 year old Feyd-Rautha watching his uncle to learn a thing or two about statecraft. Pieter is a twisted mentat, which is like a human computer with an OS optimized for human rights violations and he is just having none of the Baron’s shit. He flaunts his expensive drug addiction, offers to dance, and repeatedly reminds the Baron that he was too stupid to have come up with this Snidely Whiplash shit by himself. Pieter correctly reasons that the Baron will have him dead as soon as he has outlived his usefulness and that his attitude isn’t going to be much of a determining factor. For now he is very confident that he remains useful.

So eventually Feyd is like ‘Uncle, I’m just watching you argue, I could be playing GameBoy right now’ because GameBoy is what Feyd-Rautha calls the guy with needles for teeth that he hunts through the steam tunnels. And the Baron goes ‘Ah, but you are learning something. See, one of the great things we lost during the robot jihad were Excel spreadsheets that weren’t little bitches.’ And that’s where it gets me. I can’t tell if this is an impatient mastermind flexing his general obesity or a plague-clown who invited his sassy laptop in to make everyone watch his sick burn. Maybe those aren't mutually exclusive. Maybe it’s not that weird and it’s just David Lynch brain poison leaving its indeliable mark. 

Mostly I think it’s a profound tragedy that we don’t have an on screen adaptation of Pieter DeVries going full fucking Starscream. Like yeah, we see some animosity but we as an audience have been robbed of seeing a dude who can do orbital physics calculations in his head acting like he just figured out nothing actually happens when mom finishes counting down from ten. As a millenial STEM graduate, I feel a deep sense of empathy for this human calculator vocalizing to his employer that he hopes his home burns down.

Pieters'Prikkelspraak

PIETERS’PRIKKELSPRAAK Provocatie maakt het verschil. Dat is Pieters’ overtuiging. Wie dingen in beweging wil brengen, moet durven uitdagen. Niet om alles overhoop te halen, maar om het betere in mensen op gang te brengen. Daarom leunt Pieter Pottenkijker niet achterover, maar daagt hij met zijn uitspraken zijn kijkers en lezer op prikkelende wijze uit.  Daarvoor kijkt Pieter naar de wereld om…
