A couple months ago I made some images with darrell smith (studio owner) for the studio skateboard series. I just saw the final product today. Their looking pretty good. As I type this I’m in London watching Dear Valerie. Three middle aged woman are sent letters posing problems. These problems are then discussed. Valerie says when you go to a party you should bring two bottles of wine. One simply as a gift, not necessarily to be opened that night, and a second for the dinner party. Also when a couple is new and blossoming, both parties should bring wine. I think Valerie likes to throw a lot of parties. I’m sure if she’d seen these new boards she’d say, bring these boards NOW or I’ll eat your soul. I sense valeries darkside building power.
These ladies love red wine, white wine, april wine, and just some good old whining. I raise my afternoon whine glass to the t.v……here’s to whining. Cheerz.
(The show has been coming to a close, Valeries guests were two women who go by the name the wine ladies, which explains the wine talk. Though Valerie would still say buy these boardis NOW, and she’d still eat your soul.)
I love animals with a passion (except squirrels.) I have a dog, Frisko, shes half husky half german shepard, but she looks more like a border collie. She will eat anything. In her younger days she’d snap the squirrels right from the tree trunks. Shes getting older now, her breathing is heavy, and her Inuit fur falls to the ground. Her days are numbered.
Me and my friend Jake have always had this dream. Get Frisko a trench coat, some shoes (high heeled to throw the cooks off.) a fake moustache, Large black framed glasses and a stud earring that reads Lung. maybe a t-shirt under the jacket with a fake tuxedo printed on it. Her name would now be The Black Lung. When Blackie has his top hat on, it will be pretty obvious he means business in a major way. Then we’ll take pretty girl Frisko (As The Black Lung) to an all you can eat buffet and let her go crazy, even get the restaurant DJ to play crazy by prince while it happens. Eat, Eat, Eat Frisko. Eat your blackened deathbed bound lungs out one last sweet time.
Sometimes, for fleeting moments, people seem easy to understand, then i think about outer space, and it gets a little harder.
what if the universe starts and ends in all of us, that’s the cycle, a million strains beginning anew and ending each day.
i never liked the idea of competition, start and finish, win or lose. Imagine football games where you crossed the end zone line. Then there was a tunnel you went down and played underground, its filled
with lunatics wearing honey sauce as mascara. They dont want to stop you, they say hey man
look at my vcr, i have labyrinth, your not sure what their deal is though. Everyone likes bowie, it
gets hard to gage. sometimes you don’t go down the tunnel in the endzone, you go up the street
and shoot drugs, and then the other team has to save you to win. But save you from what,
those selfish saintly attitudes they have are a curse, so now your team has to save them
from vanity and hypocrisy, or leave them alone. Then everyone’s aunt on one team sucks the dick of an uncle on the other team.
Then those uncles repay the actions with some uncle action. Side line moms say no to underwear. Their birds go free, some, aesthetically speaking, look good, others not so much. both teams feel uncomfortable, and no one wins, then they get a job in landscaping. the world will go underground, not above, you have the subway.
Why not more lights and bike paths. Then stores will open along the way. People will say
we need sunlight, they wont say it, they’ll whisper it to a friend on the subway while somewhere
throughout all those cars sits a woman with a vagina very similar to the one they came out of.
this lady and this person wont talk, they’ll be to busy trying to win the game of life, and what would they
say to each other anyways? How do you start that conversation.
“Jesus loves punkos oi oi oi, Jesus loves those skinhead boys, Jesus loves punkos oi oi oi, Jesus loves those skinhead boys. When I was little I used to listen to music. And there was this guy and he was a preacher with a pole. And he used to say, so beautifully, he’d say Jesus loves punkos oi oi oi. Jesus loves those skinhead boys. And heavy metal kids love satan man, 666 in the palm of their hands. An’ hyper kids run around on ritalin, when their parents go they sip their gin.”
Going into my yahoo account today i noticed an article. The scientists at yahoo put together a study, and their findings were that broke men aren’t as attractive to women as men with money. I checked my empty pockets and looked over to my empty bed. I see.
I’m sure that recession everybody’s talking about is fixed, its over. Science is champion.
whats the next article going to be, amputees suck at pool.
The captain of the Titanic was a horrible teammate in pool because he could never sink a ball.
life-goards are more comfortable in a pumpkin patch then at a pool hall.
People with poison ivy poisoning always scratch on the eight ball.
tetro - I don’t know, i could see not really caring about this movie, but I like gallo, and its francis ford coppola, and its name is good.
Inglourious Basterds - is going to be ridicoulous. Death proof was falking fantastic, and this will be too.
bad lietenant - Werner Herzog is remaking Bad lieutenant with Nicholas Cage, having never seen the original movie, the fact that this movie is even going to exist is insane, I think I’m most excited about this, out of everything else this year. The original was amazing, but they seem like there going to be doing two wholly different movies. Incomparable, and both amazing in their own right.
where the wild things are - I loved this book when i was a kid, like most, and for someone to dedicate that much of there life to a book like this, and that someone is spike jonze, only magic can happen.
a serious man - its by the coen brothers, doesn’t seem like it will be their best, but everything they do is better then most.
sherlock holmes - robert downey jr and Guy Ritchie, Rachel McAdams looks good too. LONDON.
bruno - It sounds like its going to go way over the edge. Sasha Baron Cohen doesn’t seem like a guy that wouldnt try to outdo his last project in outragousness. I remember reading on imdb a few years ago about a movie in development, it was called vic thrill and curly oxide i think. It was written by Tina Fey and starred Sasha Baron Cohen, he played a hasidic Jew Rock star. I guess things came up in both their careers, and now its gone. Maybe it will come back one day. I hope.
funny people - Written and Directed by Judd Apatow with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah hill, Eric Bana and Leslie Mann. Oi.
avatar - Cameron Crowe lost his goddamn 3-D mind, something mind blowing could come out of it.
the lovely bones - don’t know to much about this, or realllly care that much, but will probably be somewhat good.
taking of pelham 123 - its a remake, not sure about this, nothing to get wild over, I’m sure it will be forgettable, but tony scott did direct true romance and…..top gun.
antichrist - When i first read the review of this it talked about how people were leaving the theatre, fainting, all of that, and i started to get real excited, then the next sentence read, featuring scenes like a labia being cut off by a pair of rusty scissors and a pair of testicles smashed with a mallet. Then i nearly leaped out of my chair, ahhhhhh, i had to take a deep breath and finish the article. Then i read the article a few more times, getting past the shock into a state of reason, their just words and its just a movie. Lars von trier doesn’t seem the type to just make a shocking horror film for the hell of it. I watched the exorcist a week ago for the first time. I end up spending a long time working on the audio on the shorts I’ve made and i knew the exorcist won an oscar for audio. During the whole movie i was so conscious of every audio trick and the make up didn’t really scare me. I still liked it, but It kind of ruined the movie for me, its the first time that’s ever happened. I wonder if in ten years people will look back at antichrist wondering what the big deal is. I’m nervous, but love when things get shaken up a bit for more then the sake of just shaking them up. And the girl from science of sleep seemed so nice.
the limits of control - I never cared to much for Jim Jarmusch, but this looks like it could be pretty good. Still have to see it.
fantastic mr fox - Wes andersons new film which has been in production for a few years, all stop motion creatures based on a roald dahl book, with voices by bill murray, Owen wilson, Willem Defoe, Angelica Huston and others. I’ve been excited for this for years, i love stop motion.
interview project - David lynchs new project already has the first four episodes up, Its a series of interviews, 121 total. A new one posted every three days. The interviews are made with people from small towns, diners and just sitting at the side of the road, all met during a road trip across the midwest. The whole things heartwarming, seeing the individual humanity and struggles. It makes life seem a little more worthwhile.
moon - Did you know the director of this is David Bowies son. He was originally named Zowie Bowie, that’s a hell of a fucking name. He changed it to Duncan Jones. How can this kid not have a Father complex, I mean David Bowie created a new world with ziggy stardust. And Zowie can only get to the moon. This movie looks pretty cool, I LIKE SYI FYE, reminds me of solaris a bit.
halloween 2 - The first one followed the original movie pretty closely, this one looks like Rob zombie gets to go his own route, i didn’t grow up watching Halloween or many other classic horror films, it wasn’t till house of a 1000 corpses that i even liked a horror film really. His next movie has no description and is only listed as Tyrannasourus Rex. I cant wait for it, Something tells me tyrannosaurus Rex is the name of a person, who has a name like that. I’m sold on just the name, makes your brain think strange things.
The invention of lying - Written and directed by Ricky Gervais, with Johah Hill, Jason Bateman, Jeffery Tambor, Tina Fey, Christopher Guest, Patrick Stewart, Ricky Gervais and others. Yah.
Whatever Works - I never cared alllll that much for woody allen, the extreme neuroses can get to be to much, but its still woody allen, i’d prefer to see woody allen act out larry davids words rather then vice versa, but it should still be good i think. It’s a hell of a com BO.
Then there’s star trek (I still haven’t seen it yet). I thought observe and report was good, I liked what they were trying to do, blurring the lines between comedy and drama, Its a movie you have to watch more then once i think. year one will probably be kind of funny. I know there’s some i missed here too.
I mean look at these odds though, that’s potentially 25 good movies. Then all the super hero movies, which i like, a few bologna romantic comedies for soon to be soap opera watching house wives. A couple animation films like UP. How is this not normal. Good horror, good drama, good comedy, its about fucking time. If even half of these turn out to be good, well then, fucking great.
i watched the hangover last night. Who cares, babies get formula. Lets make a movie, it will have dudes who like to party, booze, hot chicks, fuckin vegas baaaaaby, a soundtrack with music everyone likes, a couple edgy scenes that dont actually offend, just make people go, ohhhh noooo he didn’t. Nice cars, a plot that just skips over the most important things, but i mean anyways thats not important. Zach galafanakidfjalkdfjalkjkljfsadfanakis is funny, if it wasn’t for him, fuck this movie. I can get drunk and go to a strip club by myself, and its probably cheaper then the theatre……even though i watched a cam version. hahahahahaha.
I’m sure some of these movies may get pushed into 2010, but already in 2010 there’s, alice in wonderland by tim burton with johnny depp as the mad hatter. The rum diaries by hunter s thompson with johnny depp as hunter again. Directed by the withnail and I director bruce robinson. Phantasmagoria: the visions of lewis carroll, written and directed by marilyn manson and starring marilyn manson. King shot, the first movie by Alejandro Jodorowsky (Holy mountain, santa sangre, el topo) In a long time, starring marilyn manson and nick nolte. I cant wait for this. Theres my son, my son, what have ye done. Another movie by Werner Herzog with willem dafoe and chloe sevigny that sounds amazing. Theres the arrested development movie, something called desperadoes that p.t. anderson is attached too (I have no clue, but i like the name), and the kids in the hall have a new show coming out, it follows a sitcom arc, but its still all of them playing multiple charachters throughout.
then this year and next, there’s true blood, rescue me, a new season of curb your enthusiasm with a story arc reuniting the entire seinfeld cast, a new season of east bound and down. An hbo show based in new orleans from the creator of the wire.
I wish i could teleport two years ahead, and see all of this. Then teleport back, i have things to do and a weak liver im sure. I don’t have two years to spare. But anyway i could just teleport super far ahead and get a cure for anything, then teleport back, and have lottery numbers, then teleport into a girls changing room like a futuristic porkys, then get busted and teleport into a bank vault, and whiz on all the money. I don’t need those marked notes. Then teleport into the past and buy beer when it was cheaper, then teleport to the future to party with aliens (do you think the beer would go bad). It doesnt matter, im sure the aliens would be cool with me.
I wish i was at the science fiction awards in the seventies. Whenever you think the video is dragging a bit a little more magic leaps out. This is the wind beneath my torn wings, the flap of my jaw, and the sting of the ant parade making their way to my kitchen for a summer holiday, a holiday in hell, when the boot comes down. These foolish Ants. Aunts of ants, nephews and nieces of ants. They should be doing something good, they should be building a rocket ship. Not slurping glucose here in my kitchen, god no, not here, not like this.
Will have some hartwork showing here tonight. Click flyer for details.
8:30am, i just finished all my paintings. Hopefully theres room for them at the place. Hopefully I can get some sleep.
REALITY AND BEYOND
My head is throbbing
My floor is crawling with ants
As I sniff spray paint fumes
From the other room
I shouldn’t have drank
My cousins vodka
Last night at
Five am
Well not my cousin
But someones cousin
Im sure
In the other room
Is romeo and Ulie
Robins eggs
How to eat a priest 4 beginners
Piss party
O.D.E. to O.d.b.
grimmace the robutussin god
heroin
and trap doors
buddys hitting an all time low
I’ve been painting like
A crazed
Animal
And some of these creatures
I’ve created
Are looking good
Hot as fuck
Growling
And stinking
Of fumes
These ants picked the wrong picnic
To rip through
Theres no food
Just empty cans
Of carling
And blue ribbon
When the juices
Get pumping
Food becomes
Ridiculous
That reminds me of a joke
Why did O.j. Finally pull over
In his white bronco
………………..
Because he ran out of juice
Im glaring at the next painting
Its called
Stand up comedy
It will be covered in jokes
Like the one above
or
why did cat stevens
Get a divorce
……………..
Because his wife was a dog
If you cant start a riot
You might as well be able
To say
hey buddy
I had a riot
Im drinking beer four now
Hoping
To get back to
Reality
And
beyond.
