I MISS SONJA HENIE
A SLEW OF HEAVY HITTERS ALL PITCHED IN ON THIS. I REALLY WANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT MORE FILMS BY FREDERICK WISEMAN. HIS OEUVRE IS AS DISPARATE AS THEY COME WITH SUBJECTS RANGING FROM ANIMALS TO ARMIES. YOU CAN GET HIS FILMS HERE, BUT THEY AIN'T CHEAP.
VERY COOL VERY NICE GUY: ROBERT ALTMAN
THERE ARE A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT ROBERT ALTMAN'S STYLE OF FILMMAKING, BUT ONE QUALITY THAT I CAN MOST RELATE TO WAS HIS ABILITY TO MAKE SHIT UP ON THE FLY AND DEVELOP A COMPLEX NETWORK OF EXPERIENCES FROM A GRAIN OF SAND. NO WONDER HE WORKED SO WELL WITH ALL THOSE BURNERS. HE WAS PRETTY MUCH DADDY WEED OF THE COOL HOLLYWOOD SCENE. OH YEAH, AND THE DUDE WAS SHOT DOWN IN A PLANE IN WWII. THAT'S FUCKING BANANAS! ANYWAY, I REALLY LOVE THIS GUY'S MOVIES, INTERVIEWS, IDEAS, AND VIBES.
OH YEAH, ALSO I READ IN ALTMAN ON ALTMAN THAT IN THE SALAD DAYS AT HIS LIONSGATE OFFICE YOU COULD POTENTIALLY PEAK IN AND FIND GARY BUSEY ON A COUCH JUST KICKING BACK ON SOME DOOBS AND FINGERPICKING SOME SWEET MELODIES ON HIS GUITAR WHILE OTHER PEOPLE WERE BREWING UP IDEAS. PRETTY RADICAL.
