.. .. .. ......>Movies
This James Brown/Pavarotti video above is a perfect dichotomy~ Wished Shine A Light was more of a documentary interviewing their families and homes, but was probably one of the best Stones movies, except for Cocksucker Blues. Julie Taymor's Across The Universe is just amazing, integrating the Beatles lyrics so beautifully symbolic! Another good one is "I'm Not There", Blanchett doing a stunning job! If you wanna become a vegetarian, go see Fast Food Nation, well done...The movie Stoned was a pleasant surprise, a bit of a rip-off of The Performance but totally got the feel of that grandly hip era and the Counterfeit Stones did their homework...Kinky Boots was recherché...New York Dolls documentary was excellent...This one was way too violent, but the aesthetics of Nick Caves The Proposition won me over....Anthony Hopkins proves his brilliant acting capabilities once again in The Fastest Indian, Capote was written perfectly fascinating...Crash was "right on the money" example of the human condition and racism in America! Walk The Line was a well-done effort for mere mortals trying to impersonate such greatness. Rodney Bing's Mayor of Sunset Strip is so "rock vulnerablity" at it's best (sounds odd, but watch it and you'll see)....The pure genius of Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid...Tony Scott's Man on Fire was intriguing by way of using that hand crank camera hyper-realism effect and the characters were such opposites which I love., Dig was a sad state of affairs. Napoleon Dynomite was very funny making painfully normal really hilarious. Ray and Aviator were directed and acted extremely well. So many movies these days are just not up to snuff for the amount of bucks spent...Some timeless oldies were Siesta (with Ellen Barkin, real sleeper-no pun intended, for real), Henry Millers "Henry and June", based on his life in Paris, Brother Where Art Thou~brilliant soundtrack, Daddy and Them a tragically funny southern movie (adore Billy Bob), Slingblade, Monsters Ball, Adaptation, the greatness of Chuck Berry's Hail, Hail RocknRoll, Vanishing Point from the seventies, Frida's female latin strength, the whole style and music of The Last Picture Show, the human condition element Of Mice and Men, What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Johnny Depp and Leonardo, the sweetness of Fried Green Tomatoes, the charm of Drivin' Miss Daisy, Friday, Faster Pussycat, Looking For Mr. Goodbar, The English Patient, the quirkiness of Nightmare Before Christmas, the compassion of One Flew Over the Cocos Nest, Lolita, Valley of the Dolls, Little Big Man, Midnight Cowboy, the desperation of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the intrigue of Winstone in Sexy Beast, Tender Mercies, Dr. Strangelove, the eroticism of Body Heat, the humour of Victor Victoria, the soft core Emanuelle flicks (when I was a teenager), the original '62 version of Cape Fear with the coolest of the cool Robert Mitchum, the realism of Raging Bull, the doom of Street Car Named Desire, My Man Godfrey, Robt.Duvall as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird, Pope of Greenwich Village, use to like Henry Millers' Naked Lunch, but it's too disturbing now...Cohen Bros got it down. I wished they'd do a biography on Peter Sellers and now I see HBO has done one, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, it was pretty good, quite shocking to see Sellers true colors. Bad Santa will make you bust a nut, Cold Mountain was lavish with the whole musical facet of the mountain music (Jack White in particular) making it a perfect movie...Dracula with Gary Oldman makes you tingle way down there. Craziest scene in a movie was with the badger in Salton Sea's and that guys nose~ Cripe. American Splendor was very good (based on a friend of Crumbs, who was a balanced combination of crazy and genius), Masked and Anynomous with Dylan, Lange, Goodman and more was artsy, but cool as fuck...in my book. Check out the unusual documentary "Capturing the Freidmans"...footage taken by these people basically their whole lives, unknowingly to be used in this movie...and the basic concept of being the judge and jury of which is rarely seen...watch the whole two tapes to get the complete jist...Television
Elvis Costello's Spectacle is refreshing...Flight of the Conchords is excellent...Just wanna pinch Chelsea Handler's cheeks affectionately hard (not those cheeks)...The War on PBS is a beautiful interpretation of what America feels about past wars...Sunday Morning, The Dog Whisperer is good because it's always the owners fault for bad behavior (the same w/SuperNanny: usually its the parents reaction that is the culprit), The Daily Show and Real Time seem to be our only saving grace...Jon Stewart, Bill Maher & Denis Miller should run for Congress, intelligent, hip news programs that pique one's interest is always good....Discovery Times, Passport to Europe is good in a cornball sorta way...The Life of Coco Chanel and Deadwood's wardrobe were exquisite...Big Love and Soparanos were interesting, love the freedom HBO gives. Stacey and Clinton on What Not To Wear are deliciously sacastic...Anthony on No Reservations is adventourous and hip (and because he left me a saucy comment (something about smoke in the kitchen) several years ago when this "myspace" phenomenon started), Style Channel ~ every once in a while, they've gotten pretty lame lately; Campus Ladies is a riot, Ovation had excellent music documentaries, Trio, Bravo, TLC, Penn and Teller's Bullshit, anything to do with european fashion, porno (especially the old (70's) ones where the girls have dirty feet), fix-up-the-nasty-houses shows, Queer Eye's good, Sundance documentaries, PBS stuff...In the 70's watched adorable Andy Griffith, Lost In Space, Bewitched, the old Candid Camera, Shirley Temple, Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares, Dark Shadows, Woody Woodpecker cartoons, My Favorite Martian, Soul Train & Dance Fever as a kid ...Not so much these days...Books
I like books on gothic victorian architecture, vintage lamps, extraordinary fabrics, unusual buttons, mexicalia, travel, lives of great musicians and the interesting sort. Mojo magazine is perfecto...books on the human condition are captivating..."Many Lives, Many Masters" rocked..."Eat, Pray, Love" inspired..."Dandelion" by Catherine James, Ronnie Woods' "Ronnie", Marianne Faithfulls' "Faithfull" and Pattie Boyds' "Wonderful Tonight" are exciting reads.

About me:
Of French Huegonot (and English & Irish) descent...guilty pleasures include shopping and great music. Weened on the Allman Brothers. At age 12, started going to the Municipal Auditorium and the Sports Arena (first nightclub experience was sneaking in backdoor at Richards to see Spirit at 14, didn't drink then)...followed by the Fox, Omni, Agora, Bistro, Hedgens and more)...watching and meeting alot of the brilliants bands of that era from Mott the Hoople, the Winter Bros., Humble Pie, Rockpile, James Gang, Ten Years After, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Hot Tuna, Queen, Traffic, Cream, Jeff Beck, early NY Dolls & Aerosmith and many, many more. That's back when tickets were $4/each! Lived in several cities (Atlanta, Texas, NY, LA, Miami & London), always seem to end up back in the South. My raison detre is my family...and trying to remember to give more than I take...and Bob's your uncle~ .. ..Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace
Who I'd like to meet:
Spoken for and devoted, but like reading about people from around the world with similiar interests...those who cherish the roads they've been down and know how to eff'n dress... RR in the bathroom on the Concorde...the colorful but not too over the edge avant-garde (as well as Jack Fate one 'mo time)...The well-travelled & well-heeled, but more importantly, people with character...the like-minded sort with a healthy knowledge of real esoteric music and quick-witted sense of humour. I'd like to meet Vanessa (see second video down)...Just the whole voyerism thing with myspace is interesting...sussing out who the tricksters are~ <

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." ~William James (1842-1910)
Funny, if that is really the case that we could alter our life by changing our attitude, how come 100 years after his death we haven't done it yet? lol
Well, some people are...guess I am still attempting this...takes a while. :)
Hope things are going great there!
Karen :)
When I was writing the "Wherever you go, there you are" blog (the Confucius quote) I had also quoted Ernest Hemingway. I saw this quote from him after;
"If you are lucky enough to have visited Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."
Well, I haven't been to Paris but I get the bigger point of what he is saying. Our experiences go with us, our character moves with us and the time we spend and where we spend it is valuable in moving us along.
I do hope you experience the moments that enrich your life and cause you to get back in touch with yourself.
Happy New Year to you!
Karen :)
