Conversations With William S. Burroughs. The title says it all. Monday, October 27, 2003. Prisoners of the earth come out. Q: We spoke of images and words which hold man prisoner, and which are the logical outcome of a vast system of annihilation. The next step would be to locate the various springs of the mechanism, and for a start, its origin. How do you see it? Q: What is the importance of power, in all its form, in the machinery of destruction? Q: And what of money, ownership, property? It not only a...

Conversations With William S. Burroughs. The title says it all. Tuesday, August 10, 2004. Q: Your books, since The Ticket that Exploded especially, are no longer "novels"; a breaking up of novelistic form is noticeable in Naked Lunch. Toward what end or goal is this break-up heading? Q: What separates Naked Lunch from Nova Express? What is the most important evolution between these two books? Q: You wrote: "Writing is fifty years behind painting." How can the gap be closed?

http://odeon.typepad.com/silverscreen/2004/01/lord_of_the_rin.html
Direct from the silver screen. My Top Ten ». January 31, 2004. Lord of the Rings. Well, it's pretty certain who's going to win the Oscar for Best Picture, but what I find a little less certain is why. Yes, I'm talking about. Return of the King. The most nauseatingly overrated entry in the most nauseatingly overrated trilogy in film history. Now don't get me wrong: I concede that these movies were terribly difficult to make, and what wound up on the screen is a feast for the eyes. But so's. Is so empty, t...

Conversations With William S. Burroughs. The title says it all. Thursday, November 06, 2003. R: The movement is developing a different definition of news, a different description of what is important. If we controlled a television station, our news would be substantially different than Walter Cronkite. B: If we controlled television, then we control America. R: What would it mean if we had one station? R: You think the war is going to be fought out among the middle class and not among the poor? B: They'r...

One of the first feature films to employ synchronous soundand the first to be a successit's actually mostly silent, save musical interludes and a few lines of dialogue. It's fascinating to watch: you can feel the excitement in the air at the time of its release, the buzz surrounding this noveltysound. But what did that breakthrough really mean? Or is there even an answer? Is that its essence? Obviously...

Direct from the silver screen. Laquo; Risky Business. Gangs of New York: Part 1 ». February 17, 2004. Of Movies and Monsters. Let me begin this review by saying that, no, Charlize Theron's performance in. In my opinion, been overrated. Her accomplishment is to allow the audience to know, if not empathize with, a serial killer. This humanization of a villain is not the same as creating sympathy. I would compare it to Daniel Day-Lewis's turn as Bill the Butcher in. Gangs of New York. If you haven't seen th...

Direct from the silver screen. Laquo; Gangs of New York: Part 2. Oscar Predictions ». February 24, 2004. Gangs of New York. I recently described Daniel Day-Lewis's performance in. Gangs of New York. As a blend of Method-style naturalism and exuberant artifice. To an extent, that same description fits the whole movie. Scorsese first earned his fame as a practitioner of a certain kind of cinematic realism. What are generally considered his greatest works. The Last Temptation of Christ. The Age of Innocence.

Direct from the silver screen. April 16, 2004. Kill Bill Vol. 2. It’s important to acknowledge that. Kill Bill Vol. 2. Has been made in very much the same spirit as. Sure, there’s much less bloodshed, fewer fights, and slower pacing, but what we see on the screen is, once again, a pastiche of Tarantino’s favorite exploitation movie genreskung fu, spaghetti westerns, bad-ass chick flicks, B-horror pictures, grindhouse cinema of practically any variety. He himself has likened the. Raiders of the Lost Ark.
