One of, well, two of my FAVE things about the flick, 1 – the wedding scene in a ’20s Era Deyrolle (talk about a dream venue) and 2 – the hysterical portrayal of Salvidor Dali (played by the ever so handsome Adrien Brody).  The scene is delightful as Man Ray andLuis Buñuel meet up with their chum in a Paris Cafe.

More Dali. More Dali, more more more more:

A film about Irina Ionesco and her daughter Eva. Via Catparty.  I just about fainted with excitement.

I’m sure this is going to be complicated…of course I’ll see it…

PARIS {this is why I say if you dare…b/c I watched it and now I’m dying…}

Nueva York

B+E+R+L+I+N

My favorite Thanksgiving ritual involves a screening of Hannah and Her Sisters.  My favorite scene in the film is when Elliot plots his encounter with Lee and then drags her to the bookstore…the romance of being in an old NYC bookstore gets me everytime…

I then read e.e. cummings…

somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands

I’m not exactly sure what Tracy Antonopoulos’ new film The Corner will be about yet…but I really don’t mind just watching the trailer over and over.

Another of her full length flicks I’m diggin is Piece of Meat. Tracy uses a fantastic soundtrack to narrate us through her tale…

Tracy’s style is ’50s greaser meets and has a love child with any one of Godard’s french muses.  I’m sort of dying for a cigg right now and a good read…

I found Tracy’s Vimeo log via the video she did for Opening Ceremony’s spring collection with Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman.

“Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary but also delves into Basquiat as an iconoclast.”

In the meantime, here’s footage of Jean-Michel and Andy, from State of the Art, 1986.

While we’re here, let’s see some Bowie as Warhol in Julian Schnabel’s film.  Bowie is particularly dope as Andy.

Jake.  Jake Ryan.

I  have slipped once again into John Hugh’s fantasy world.  Watching Easy-A provoked the sleeping giant desire in me to end up in a god-awful lavender poof ball of a dress and into a ’84 cherry red Porche.

Aside from the obvious, Jake’s appeal has to do with his rugged and slightly preppie attire.  His jeans/sweater vest combo is my fave.

Well, who am I kidding…they’re all my fave.

I foresee a John Hughes marathon…
