A MILLION LITTLE PIECES

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Juliette Lewis, Charlie Hunnam, and Dash Mihok and Giovanni Ribisi.....under the wand of Sam Taylor-Johnson.... could only have produced this dark, moody odyssey through drug/alcohol/nicotine addiction......that, by comparison, makes The Man With The Golden Arm and Requiem For A Dream seem like wholesome Disney fodder......I had to 'take a break' after half an hour of James Frey's Madness.....Having anticipated 'Count Vronsky's self-containment, but 'getting' some full-out,  full-tilt total lack of that even before the Title arose after Aaron's drunken fall from the balcony......

INTELLECTUAL PREVARICATION

The "ANTI-HOLLYWOOD" MOVEMENT.......escaping the formulaic dogma of tradition....until THIS becomes the object of tomorrow's derisions.......The pitfalls of intellectual Glamour, traducing the hipsters of now to become the apocalyptical intellectuals of tomorrow's yesterdays as they exonerate the Fashions of last year's Art Runways......The shade...the Shade....Let's play it backwards, desaturated, and with Czech subtitles......There!....It's NOW! which....tomorrow....will be YESTERDAY....  Just kick us in the teeth, Lars!   

Kathryn Grayson - Voices of Spring - Strauss Hi Fi

In second grade, already dreaming of being a Tap Dancer...like Fred Astair or Gene Kelly, I was taken, by my parents, to The Lyric Theater for my first venture into the world of Voices....beautiful voices......the movie was SO THIS IS LOVE, with Kathryn Grayson and Merve Griffin.......The next Monday, in the West Clinton School auditorium, I heard Miss Alta Trotman singing.....well, not anywhere as well as "Grace Moore".....but well enough to impress an 8-year old boy, who had only heard his Grandfather sing, while accompanying himself on an old, out-of-tune upright Kable-Wellington piano......  or his Mother, singing....a few years later, as she fumbled on the ivory keys of that same piano..that was, now, mine......

Jodi Arias Couldn't Remember, Either.........Does That Mean "It Never Happened"?

Leonard Shelby had something on most of us......he could write events on his skin, hoping to connect the dots later........Memory is an elusive modifier, construct reorientationalist, and all around neologistic shaper of the moment after the moments before........
