Lonely Planet (The The / Bill Hicks)
I really liked Across the Universe (very intelligent musical. They weaved a story of love and loss in the 60s around the Beatles' song catalogue. Great song interpretations, really imaginative dance scenes. A gritty improvement on Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.

Lust For Life Trailer
An excellent example of proto-metamodernism…
John Cleese on Creativity
Fluffy Nice Things, John Bulley's art exhibition at Southend Library. Good to see some masculine art, juxtaposing naievete with cynicism, boys' toys with men's crimes, bourgeois tweeness with industrialised mass murder. I think it's metamodernist, oscillating between playfulness and anger. I particularly like the Bob Diamond canvas which has become an improvised hate relief doll. We’re invited to graffiti, deface and slash it. I want it to be larger than life, full-bodied, with more three-dimensional depth and gunk, so I can really express my anger. Metamodernist art needs anger and humour. This has both.

More from the sadly missed Robert Hughes. His 2008 documentary, The Mona Lisa Curse, is a damning indictment of how big money has debased art. What good is art now?
"I’ve seen with growing disgust the fictionalization of art, the vast inflation of prices, and the effect of this upon artists and museums. The entanglement of big money with art has become a curse on how art is made, controlled and, above all, in the way that it’s experienced. And this curse has infected the entire art world."

Van Morrison's version of Richard Cory. Rougher than Simon & Garfunkel's excellent original, but these are rough times...
Richard Cory
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&v=ukIEi8ZgqK8
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a banker's only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.
He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.
Sir Christopher Lee, one of the all-time great horror actors, is a man of many other talents. At 90 years-old, he's released a metal album.
He's also trained as an operatic bass-baritone singer. Here he is as a fascist megalomaniac singing Name Your Poison (actually, during World War 2, he served with the Special Operations Executive).
Name Your Poison
Mai Tai say that I'm Old Fashioned,
Tres Vin Ordinaire
That I want a fresh Manhattan
With white anglo-saxons everywhere?
A Black Russian's no Pink Lady
Give her a Singapore Sling.
And Moscow Mule is not your baby
So Highball the Vodka, and name your sting
Be a big shot, with a Bullshot
Be a schwein mit der Wein
Have a short, or a port, or a snort, of any sort.
Asti Spumante . Uno Chianti.
Are divine!
I got some economic Hocks,
A Gin and Tonic on the rocks. Where Angels fear to tread, I say- Choose your booze! Let's hit the red-eye! Think of young Deanna Durbin, And how she sung on Rum and Bourbon. Or enhance your luncheon hour With a Planter's Punch, And a Whiskey Sour If you feel like a wreck, Try a Horse's Neck Or a Sherry with a cherry in the new fun size- If you don't name your poison I'll have to get the boys in The spirit of adventure opens ones eyes If you don't name your poison I'll have to get the boys in And you'll never see another Tequila Sunrise Live happily ever after With a Chablis and some laughter. Between the Sheets is lovely With a dizzy blonde and a bottle of bubbly There's nothing sicker in society Than a lack of liquor and sobriety So! Down the hatch. Here's mud in your eye! Take a bracer with a chaser, wash it down with rye! Bottoms up, stirrup cup! It'll put you in the pink. And all you have to do is Drink, Drink... |

"Hans' school teacher is about to give the class a little lesson in natural history. Now let's see what they learned from this little lesson. He said 'the poor rabbit'! Is he out of his mind? What would the Führer think of such a stupid answer? What would Herr Göring say? And Herr Goebbels? Now then, who can give the correct answer? 'The world belongs to the strong!' 'And to the brutal!' 'The rabbit is a coward and deserves to die!' They spit on the rabbit. He hates the rabbit. There is no room for weaklings. Hans is learning fast. My, how he hates that rabbit. Hans has come around to the correct Nazi way of thinking. Nice going eh, Adolf?"

Film review: "Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now is one of the greatest artistic achievements of the twentieth century…"
Yes, I think that's fair. I'd place Apocalypse Now at the opposite end of the spectrum to 2001: A Space Odyssey. This ten minute film review only skims the surface.
These films will still be analyzed for centuries to come (assuming humanity survives - and Gove is finally defeated).
Kubrick's forensic 'Human Dream', and Coppola's operatic 'American Nightmare' - the Mozart and Wagner of cinema… Impressive achievements for an art form that was less than a century old.
We went from the first airplane to the moon over roughly the same period - and into the Heart of Darkness...
Apocalypse Now - Classic Film Review by mwhite148
Well done, Felix. A white knuckle ride. Welcome back.
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do...

Worth a look. In a world of tedious airheads, it's reassuring to remember that one of the greatest horror/sci-fi stories of all time was written by a 19 year old girl nearly 200 years ago (holed up with the pop stars of her age). The current Danny Boyle / National Theatre stage adaptation looks fascinating too. Literature / film / theatre crossover is definitely the way ahead :)
Frankenstein: A Modern Myth Channel 4 (Full)
Still on the subject of Frankenstein, just found this recently posted on You Tube. One of my favourite films - Gods and Monsters.
Gods and Monsters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJAjFv7li-A
Difficult to do this film justice with a plot summary. It's a fictionalized account of the dying days of James Whale, the gay director of the 1930s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. But it's mainly about the performances of Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser. Monsters in the rain, and friendship. Well worth two and a half hours of your life.
Oh what a perfect day to walk around Southend. The The style.

Secret State is worth a sneaky peek if you haven't seen it yet. Political conspiracy thriller with Gabriel Byrne as a heroic, cloak and dagger Prime Minister fighting the forces of corporate evil. I'd vote for him.

If you didn't catch it, I highly recommend The Fear. Set in Brighton, but feels quite Southendish too. An old school gangster fights a seaside turf war with immigrant Albanians while his mind falls apart with dementia. Great bleak performance from Peter Mullan. Utterly unsentimental, yet still gains your pity.
