so, you may have noticed that i said i was watching color me kubrick last time i wrote something. this movie may have been the most intriguing movie i have seen in a while (not the best, but certainly the most intriguing). it tells the real-life story of alan conway, a confidence man who pretends to be stanley kubrick during the early eighties and nineties. perhaps the most troubling part is that alan conway was completely unlike kubrick; conway's kubrick was gay, clean shaven, garish, and did not know much about kubrick's films. he would simply wait outside of expensive houses where he told people to meet him and they would just go along with his charade.  

What would your life be like if you had an imposter, an imposter twice as glitzy as you, twice as camera hungry as you? would you be angry you have an imposter? happy that you are worth it? offended? what would you do? how much effort would they put forth? would you rather they try to be you, or just live the life you could but don't?  

i like to think that i'd simply be curious, i'd wanna see how they lived, ask them why they chose. hope that they weren't whoring themselves out as me. if they had ever sat out in the front of my house or apartment to meet people.
