There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

With gas prices so low, I believe I would like to track down one of these from 1933. With a name like Dymaxion car, how could I go wrong?!

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

My favourite artist.



I don't know a huge amount of artists, but I saw an exhibition of his work with another artist who comes from a similar artistic mindset called Andy Warhol....although I must say that Warhol's work never seemed to live up to Ai Weiwei's.

When you look at a full screen size image of this, it does come across as a full, complete scene as a Renaissance artist would have imagined. Close up, background, vertical and horizontal lines, and the occasional oblique line like that of the woman on the right. The man lying on the street with the upstanding beer bottle deserves an oscar for character portrayal. The whole scene, with its collection of incidentals is incredibly alive.
