Premiere this monday.  It only gets better.

48HOUR PREMIERE INFO.

TAWDRY HOME.

Watched a special about Stalin trying to create a secret army of ape men. Then it veered into hybrid beasts. Crypto-zoology. I’ve had this movie for awhile. Going to watch it later tonight.

TAWDRY HOME.

When I grow up I’m going to make entrances to parties like The Professor…..and exits.

And dance like Groucho. (Fast forward to 1:29.)

I’ve been on a Fassbinder kick lately. And this trailer has got me real excited.

TAWDRY HOME.

These are a series of Polaroid pictures Andrei Tarkovsky took between 1979 and 1984.  I have seen them scattered all over the internet so I’ve put together as many as I could find here. It’s amazing how much the beautiful ones look like a Tarkovsky film. You can almost see them move. Some are not as great as others, but by the order of completeness I’ve included them all, putting some of the best first.

There is a 136 page book titled Instant Light you can also purchase here.
