WARHOL AT THE EYEDRUM GALLERY

FLESH

On Tuesday, August 5, 1969, Andy Warhol’s latest film – Lonesome Cowboys, a homoerotic satire on the Hollywood Western – was playing at the Ansley Mall Mini Cinema in Atlanta. Just before the film’s ending, Atlanta police stopped the screening, confiscated the print, and arrested the theater manager, George Ellis and his son, Michael. In addition, APD photographed most if not all of the seventy moviegoers as they exited the cinema, looking for “known homosexuals.” This week the film will be shown, with modest attention, at the Eyedrum Gallery......How could Little Joe and his good-natured sexiness offend anyone? We've come a long way, baby!

STATIONARY AEROBICS

O.K. WIGGLE-WORMS, PLANT YOUR FEET ON THE FLOOR. LET LIBIDO FLOW. THE HEAD OF THE BAPTIST, ROLL.....

ALTHOUGH I SIGNED A PETITION SENT TO NEW LINE CINEMA, AND WROTE A PERSONAL LETTER TO THAT EFFECT.....THAT THE SUBTLE KNIFE SHOULD ALSO BE PRODUCED.......I SEE NO EVIDENCE OF ANY PRE-PRODUCTION......IT'S NOT JUST THE INFERNAL CATHOLIC CHURCH.....IT'S ABOUT FINANCES! MAYBE PETER JACKSON WILL TAKE IT ON............WE CAN'T WAIT ON THE CHURCH'S VAST, CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCE TO DECLINE.....IT'S BEEN CALLING THE SHOTS FOR ITS BELIEVERS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, HASN'T IT?

JIMMY AND SIMONE....... 7th HEAVEN

Jimmy, a favorite actor and Simone, a favorite actor......both, i feel, under-rated......Not that a film about a romance between a sewer worker and a girl on the lam would take the main stage..
In a year that THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA got the statuette, they were still not in the running......in the era of Melodrama with lugubrious strings, as Art......Noir was around the corner, having been abandoned for Talkies......but not quite yet, I suppose.

THE 82nd ACADEMY AWARDS PRESENTATION

After last year's brilliant event with the spectacular Hugh Jackman......this year's production was a dull and uninspiring debacle....Alec and Steve at their most wooden, reading their cue-cards; Adam Shankman, obviously more interested in his other television activities....it was all just terrible, I think.....I was so bored during Jeff Bridges' acceptance speech that I went downstairs and made a BLT......and shut down the Theatre when Kathryn Bigelow stood, repeating herself and performing curl-ups with her pair of golden statuettes. Please, Mr. Hamilton, go back to directing Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows! Totally dull stuff, by even undemanding standards......Where's Doogie Howser? I need a doctor.

IN THE TRADITION OF "SUSPIRIA" & "REPULSION"

HOSTEL 2...... Many would dismiss this as a "slasher" film; but, although much of the last half is gruesomely unsettling, I think the film ranks with the great "Horror Films".....insightful casting of Alan Ladd's granddaughter, Jordan Ladd; the charismatic and brilliant Lauren German; the nerdy multi-faceted Heather Matarazzo; and Bijou Phillips, daughter of John Phillips.....acting. And direction by the not-yet-40 Genius, Eli Roth...

THE REIGNING QUEEN OF CINEMA

RADIOHEAD

my favorite Radiohead studio recording, Rainbows......is an evolution of this material by this phenomenon...Thom Yorke is the Soul of Man....something really special..

A FULL CONCERT!
