Wow, the long days and short amount of sleep are brutal. I forgot to bring my camera today and so of course I saw all kinds of strange people. There was one woman who had done the black outline around her lipstick, but only on the top. It totally made her look like John Waters. Not too impressed with this venue, it's a lot more low end craft then they let on in their information. At least we got a...

I may be a drape, but I love your granddaughter. And if that’s a crime, I’ll stand convicted, ma’am. – Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker I believe that Cry-Baby is my first experience watching a John Waters movie from beginning to end. Known for his subversive movies, I was hesitant watching this film. I didn’t know how what to [...]

At the risk of oversimplifying John Waters’ most recent book, LAPSED AGNOSTIC , the Irish Times journalist found God through Alcoholics Anonymous, and then learned to justify an entire belief system by viewing it through the prism of his own experience. Now I’m delighted, for his sake, that John Waters managed to escape the demon booze, because you wouldn’t wish alcoholism on your...

One of the great things about all the Best of the Decade lists that have started circulatingly lately has been rediscovering records that you may have slept-on or too hastily dismissed the first time around. So it's been for me the past couple weeks with the Avalanches' sampledelic odyssey Since I Left You . Originally released in 2001, I errantly judged the record by the US single "Frontier...

This was on this week in the UK as part of Channel 4’s 3D week which I’ve become increasingly excited about since I first heard about it (it’s not hard to get me onto a 3D kick really). This was to me the clear star item on their schedule, not just because it had never [...]

Lancaster's vibe is hip and it travels well on the internet. I feel progressively rooted into Lancaster's virtual community just as this very community appears aggressively connected to the

Jack Smith Flaming Creatures / 1963 / The screening I saw was presented with a talk by J. Hoberman at The Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theatrer (Redcat) at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on November 9, 2009.
