Using this as a journal of sorts, like leaving breadcrumbs. And all of you are writing it for me.
Deserves not to languish in DVD form (even if it’s partly in PixelVision). For example, I only own it as part of the ultra-generic “Vampire Collector’s Set.”
Key Futurist. Lived to 33, trampled by a horse (the fateful subject of a painting a year prior to the “Dynamism…” below) during cavalry training. My favorite, from 1911, is “La Risata.”
RIP Udo Kier “To know death, Otto, you must fuck life…in the gallbladder.”
My favorite John Carpenter film is The Fog. TIL that the Death Waltz pressing features a cover by Dinos Chapman (he of the dick-nosed kids).
Now, if this were the Seagram Murals, I’d bite. Just throw it up there over my gray-ass nondescript farting couch
Oh, wow. Has anyone listened to the Cheers theme in its entirety? It gets pretty sketch in later verses.
Thomas Wolfe, “You Can’t Go Home Again” A cooling balm for the defeatist among us.
“He who has rejected his demons badgers us to death with his angels.” - Henri Michaux Michaux was a painter/writer/poet whose most interesting written works, imo, are those wherein he wrote under the influence of either LSD or, most famously, mescaline.
Duchamp’s “Étant donnés” was specifically designed for the Philadelphia Museum of Art under secrecy and is so unassuming - even in a room full of Duchamps - that the element of discovery it engenders is thrilling.
This holiday season, why not gather your kith and kin around the warm glow of the TV screen for a riveting viewing of “Threads,” the 1984 made-for-tv-movie that unflinchingly depicts the UK after a nuclear attack. Warm and fuzzy. m.media-amazon.com/images/S/pv-...
“I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten.” - Chris Marker, “Sans Soleil”
A photo from said book - an alleged medium, “Stanislawa P,” generating a stream of ectoplasm.
