CRONENBERG ODYSSEY

Assuming all of our amazing RM readers are still out there, somewhere, I must apologize for the lack of updates recently. Life can get in the way of blogging (regularly) but I promise to never leave you hanging again!

Aside from doing "life" shit, I've been catching up on some major David Cronenberg action. I had seen Videodrome, Existenz, Eastern Promises ... shoot, I'd even seen Dead Ringers! But the best of Cronenberg's sci-fi/horror oeuvre are his earliest films. If you haven't seen these, I strongly recommend you do:

SHIVERS, 1975

THE BROOD, 1979

RABID, 1977

On another note, I'm finally getting around to seeing Holy Mountain ... what took me so long?!

KISS THE DIRT (FALLING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN)

I've been jamming on this INXS song for awhile ...

... and the music video reminded me of my favorite scene in the 
Bret Easton Ellis-penned film adaptation of The Informers.
Good stuff (and NSFW):

[Ed. note: They actually cut out the NSFW shots (of a semi-naked Amanda Heard). Bummer.]

Just for fun, here's the movie's awesome opening sequence:

Highly-recommended viewing (and reading)!

A SINGLE MAN

I had a chance to see Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man over the weekend and all I can say is that it left me speechless. It's painfully beautiful: between the nuanced and concise screenplay and intense performances by Colin Firth (!), Matthew Goode (!!) and Julianne Moore (omg) I left the film totally devastated and happy all at once. And yeah, it was all TOM FORD'S idea.

HOW CAN WE BE BLIND TO THEIR INNOCENT SILENT SCREAMS?

I COULDN'T WAIT TIL 8

EXCUSE ME

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy

Very talented actress ... so sad.

One of my all-time favorite Murphy roles and movies:

JE T'AIME: MATTHEW BARNEY

So, I was having tea with a dear friend last night, and somehow the conversation turned to Matthew Barney. Known mostly for his ambitious work in film (and his now-defunct marriage to Bjork), Barney's work is captivating and well, kind of weird. I had the pleasure of seeing his last "film" Drawing Restraint 9 during a limited run in Dallas a few years ago and I'm still floored by his singular, inimitable style both behind and in front of a camera. I remember seeing a review of the film, a 3 hour meditation on Japan, whaling ships, bodily fluids, etc. (all without a stitch of dialogue), and reading something along the lines of "... If only Barney went commercial ... directing the next 2001: Space Odyssey." What a dream?! Watch a clip from Drawing Restraint 9 below:
