WORK THIS WEEK
Not really work, per se, but it sounds better than “fun.”
- Punk Hits: “So You’ve Decided to Join the American League!” A pamphlet for the Astros, inspired, like all good things, by The Simpsons. Subscribers only.
- PRODcast 32: The Sanford Koufax Episode. Did you know Sandy Koufax was born “Sanford Braun”? I did not.
- I discussed my Top 10 Films of 2012 with the lovely and talented Bill Hanstock over at Progressive Boink.
- I did a Top 20 Musical Things post too, a while back.
Trailer for the forthcoming Lars von Trier film “Melancholia.”
Bela Tarr
Last night I went to see Kenneth Anger speak and show some recent work. Recent work: really not interesting. His talk: also not very interesting. Questions from students: mostly idiotic.
Anger also screened a few shorts that he’s collected on behalf of the Kinsey Institute. That part was interesting, verging on hilarious — it was basically the most awkward gay BDSM you can possibly imagine. The “acting” in these films, if you can even call it that, was so amazingly bad that it made regular porn acting seem positively Gielgudian by comparison. It was endearing in an odd way, watching a balding 50-year-old man spank a gorgeous 20-year-old boy while delivering his lines in a wooden, unconvincing manner.
Think I’ve seen all the “important” Tarkovsky now.
