buke sometimes makes me wanna puke. but in a good way. really. like when you should be puking so you don't o.d....that's post-modern poetry; mental puke-shit for the poetic soul; it's pulp; it's cartoon; its gargantuan and terrifying to love...mmm black sparrow press gets me everytime *sob*

Pulp was a pretty lousy novel...

Musicians have always produced movies

John Lennon = Holy Mountain

George Harrison = bunch of python and gilliam movies

i can write semi-good pop songs and drink a lot. i think i'll buy the rights to cather in the rye and write a film to be filmed by 'they'. my intelligence suggests that 'they' will undoubtedly not let me direct but i'd like to produce so my golden prose isn't lost in the director's translation.

hey dip shit. guess what? if you are dealing with the 'they' i think you might be implying, 'they' want to make money so guess what? you'll do as they says. also might not the production of a movie, i don't know, invovle maybe ahhh colaboration?

so beyond this the only good film that could come out of this is if someone were to either shoot the documentary of you making this for some great laughs or someone writing a screenplay about a man so high on his ego and drugs that he buys the rights to make an adaptation because creatively he couldn't come up with his own clever idea for a screen play and how it ends up sucking so he hangs himself. i wonder how many of your songs might be adaptations...

Personally, I just wish these guys would get back in the studio and try to make another record like "Is This It? or "Room On Fire." But you know, whatever.

this is probably going to suck, but yours to keep was pretty damn good.

Buk deserves better than this.

I enjoyed it, but it certainly wasn't his best. And, I remember Barfly sucking REALLY bad, and Bukowski wrote that screenplay himself so, yeah, I'm not really having high hopes for this one.

Apparently, Factotum is pretty good, but I haven't seen it yet.

fuck the strokes.

It's established the Strokes have good raw ideas but terrible taste in producers. He'll get his buddies involved that have no business being anywhere near it; you'll wind up with the thinnest, glossiest, most meaningless and souless Pulp imaginable.

But I didn't even read it. It's more like making a Franny & Zoey movie than Catcher.

I was very disappointed with Pulp.

I actually enjoyed Barfly very much. I own a copy of it and watch it regularly.

I also own a copy of Factotum. It's pretty good...except for one glaring problem. Matt Dillon is too good-looking to be believable as Chinaski. His acting is good....but he's just not believable. At least Mickey Rourke looked scummy in Barfly.

The irony here is hilarious. You do know what a pulp novel is....do you not?

LOL!!!!!!!! EXCELLENT

fuckin strokes haters... hate now even though you guys all probably own a copy of 'is this it'

No high hopes for the movie. Yeah, the book was bad. Best thing about YtK was the cover of GBV's Postal Blowfish. Music Journalists suck asseggs anyway.
