David Lynch With Some Horrible Advice

Image
He says here, at  2 minutes 40 seconds , something about reviewing earlier work. That sends shivers down my spine. This assumes that you actually have control over what part of your "work" is published. I have never had that. So for example, just browsing through  this rubbish  makes me cringe. I was under extreme stress at the time I wrote that. I was becoming aware of what my life had actually been, but which nobody  had had the decency to tell me. And I was trying to see a way around all the angles I knew about. I had never intended to distribute it, and only sent a copy to my mother and to Laura Pausini, saying clearly to both that I wanted Laura to be the one who decided what to do with it. But electronic communications, and mothers, being what they are, it was made very clear to me within a few weeks that the text had got as far as Miami, FL. I suspect my mother passed it to my ex-wife who passed it to Sarah Walker. The text is complete crap. Drivel. But, ...

The Camera's Rolling - Agnes Obel

Cute video effects, and a lovely song. Lyrics: The script is burning On heavy fuel No time to lose What will you do? Camera’s rolling What will you do? What will you do?  that you can’t undo? The gun is loaded What will you do? Cruel gifted fool What will you do? What will I do? I'll pull the trigger. See  Billie Eilish - The End of The World . Now that's what I a call a fortune cookie.  See  Local Paper Reports Eight dead, 100 Wounded in Cochabamba, Bolivia . This script, is complex! Maybe Werner Herzog can explain it? See  Werner Herzog on Klaus Kinsky See  Raif Badawi : Badawi was arrested in 2012 on a charge of "insulting Islam through electronic channels" and brought to court on several charges, including apostasy. In 2013 he was convicted on several charges and sentenced to seven years in prison and 600 lashes. In 2014 his sentence was increased to 10 years in prison, 1000 lashes, and a fine. The ...

To The Unknown Man

Image
The man also known as U&Q, or, if you think you're playing his girlfriend in a movie, one called Pottytraining 3, U&G. Man, that is one mixed-up mess of a composition! America, you have the dumbest fucking problems. Do you know that? See: Here's that exhibition of documents Putin mentions: Now watch this: Then wonder: Really, ask yourselves, "What is America?". You know my answer already. America is not a state , it is a process . The process is called civilization . And this process was still ongoing in 1832 along the Standing Rock River, I think. It was then called  The Black Hawk War . And it involved Englishmen and Irishmen too! That concert was given in Christ Church Cathedral. For more on "The House" and slavery, see  The life and letters of Lewis Carroll (Rev. C. L. Dodgson)  and this post:  Some Sage Advice from US Officials .

The New Pope

Well, he knows more about iPhones than I did , until I saw this, ... Werner Herzog on what cinematic experience had the most dramatic effect on his life:  25 seconds  ... it was one which told him something about himself. David Lynch on his favourite Herzog film: So I looked it up: And lo, it told me something about myself! ... which is? Well, it told me who I am, and more than that, it told me what is my purpose in life, my raison d'etre, if you will; which is to be the one who will change the economics of cinema, once and for all, so that never, ever again , will anyone make a movie for an audience of just one man! See  The Name of the Game :  › I'm not so sure that bumming a ride on the gravy train was such a good idea after all. With Miss Penelope holding the stick, and a dead roadrunner working the Egyptian brake pedal ... But my dear, we have a problem. The conversation I was just asked to overhear was a scene just like...

I Have Girlfriend Trouble!

Oh shit. So one girlfriend is a mathematician with a sexy voice, ... And another has a sexy voice and starts undoing her jeans on video, and another, well, she takes her panties off and uses them to cover CCTV cameras while she prepares ad hoc explosives for an improvised mortar, and another, well she runs some online .com video-sharing web site, and another, ... her dad is some kind of special-forces heating engineer and plumber ... so God alone knows she's up to, ... Well, so they start competing and the next thing I know is they're offering free phone sex for aliens and robots, ... And I know why this happening, and I'm not going to say, except in so far as it has to do with issues of privacy and a radio podcast called The Mother of All Talks Shit! Actually, it's not just a podcast, ... and that's what has got the Vatican so worried: Success in this podcasting business all about probability, ladies: And skill: So, go listen to audible hone...
