Greatest Movie Ever:
Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter.

Premise: evil vampires are attacking all the lesbians, so the church has to bring back Jesus to kick thier asses. There is a lot of leather and kung foo and terrible, terrible dubbing. Also, it is a musical.
cruelty:
HA! I've been told that I need to see Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter before. It sounds fairly amusing. Oh my.

Theatre that I do?? That's tough. I think the theatre I really WANT to do is based on ideas of revolution and questioning the status quo. I think that the nature of the art that is live and in real time is a bit more urgent and creates a reaction that seeing something on a screen does not. For example, if you've ever seen a live performance of "Suburbia" by Eric Bogosian and then seen the movie, the difference is amazing. When it's live, it's in your face and raw and gritty, but on the big screen, it just seems like some whiny kids.

ANYWAY, the theatre that I usually end up doing has something to do with the nature of reality. I'm always drawn to those. Kind of like exploring the difference between what we want and what we actually do. The nature of dreams, and this sort of thing. Playing with time, spacial relations and things of this sort. The only play I've ever written had to do with two couples in a laudramat and the physical manifestations of their wants and desires doing a movement based play-by-play of what they were truly thinking and feeling. So that's that.

Oh- and I see you've been talking to Johnny. He has my dream job.

How's 'bout you? What are you drawn to? I know physical theatre, but anything more specific??
fenchurch:
I've been doing both, actually, but I greatly appreciate the wellwishes.

And I am jealous! I want to see that movie so bad....

I saw David Sedaris, and he was wonderful and read things from his new book and his journal and also one thing from this anthology, and he signed my book with a picture of a jack-o-lantern with bags under its eyes ("because pumpkins are easy to draw") and gave me a sticker from a store in Bankok with this really ugly monk dude on it...

That was Ginsberg right? A couple of winters ago I spent lots of time playing old jazz records and reading Kerouac and Ginsberg in front of the fire. Ginsberg has some pretty shocking stuff though, like ``Please Master''.

When I read your last journal, I looked up Sedaris, and he was in Santa Fe that same night (so I missed it). Otherwise I would have checked it out.
ginny:
Oh, lord. I would pay good money to see a method actor being stabbed in the chest repeatedly.

I'm completely ready to finish Anna Karenina. So happy to have time to read now, so that I can finish the thing. I love it, but it's seems like I've been reading it forever. Damn you, Oprah, for branding books I like. At least I'm not reading the book club edition. Maybe this is just very elitist of me. Yes, definitely elitist.

In other news,...

I should be working right now.

I'm so excited about this father's day card i found. It has a guy sleeping in front of the television and it says "still life with remote control". This sums up my father. He's very tense and british and upper-crusty, so everyone is shocked to find out that he loves, passionately loves, "married, with children".

This week will be...

That Harry Potter...he's bigger than Jesus now.

I, in my immensely dorky way, liked the third film so much! An adorable story, and lots of old British people for me to be in love with.

Wait! What's that behind you? Oh, that's just my huge, throbbing love for Gary Oldman.

Today, a friend suggested that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is ripe for a remake....

I agree I dunno what your feeling is about him but I think Jonny depp and oldman are one of the finest actors out there. There doesnt seem to be a part they cant play and do it well at that.
Hope you had a great weekend.
Happy Monday

Still disgustingly sick.

Watched Black Adder, the first season, which wasn't even remotely funny. He's such a ham. I like the episodes where they're in the trenches, though.

Yesterday=fun with the video camera.

Random cold. Sicker by the hour.

On a brighter note, I got to languish in the central library reading Glass, Irony, and God and drinking coffee. Mmm....Anne Carson and coffee...

Feel better soon

Nothing to do today except for the things I need to do, which I won't do ever.

Been reading Harold Bloom's "Best Poems of the English Language". I love Bloom, because its just as much fun to disagree with him as to agree. Glad he included A.E. Housman in the book. Regardless of what anyone (cough) thought of The Invention of Love, he wrote some...

Dear Quilty,

My friend keeps bugging me to read Harold Bloom (I've just had an ill-fated brush with his asshole brother Allan). What do you recommend?

Homoerotic battle poems? I still think the biggest bunch of veiled homoeroticism is the Palestinian martyer worship. "Alas, our beautiful dead black eyed boys! Like an army of roses" Typically Levantine. A bunch of Adonis worshipers with no Cybele to balence things out

Eventful weekend, punctuated by six hours of Freaks and Geeks. So this is love.

Went to see bands play with a friend. Everything got weird because one of the guys playing is creepily obsessed with her, and was apparently wearing a ring that was supposed to symbolize his (unwanted) devotion. He was singing one song right up in her face, so she stared in the...

Wow sounds like a fun weekend. I would love to have a admirer like that.. Its almost stalkerish. Sexy.
Sorry things didnt work out with you and her though. But it was nice of you to be so cool about it.

Happy Tuesday.



miao!!

Oh man I remember Freaks and Geeks. What a great show.

Still not saving! Grrr...

I'm in the mood for a few period fims that are British and slow and really well made. ("What are you doing Sebastian?" "I'm arranging matches.")

Merchant-Ivory, here I come.

Thanks for the compliment, dear. If you're not dead yet, pull up a chair for that Merchant Ivory fest. I'll bring some big hats
