Oh and, p.s, I only re-used your clumsy phrase "dismissing the quality of the work" to ensure you understood my point. It is bad writing like that, and the awfully confused post that began this section, that suggest to me, sir, that you are all mouth and no trousers.

Listen, you enormous douchebag who seems unable to understand the concept of the possessive 's, I am dismissing the quality of the work for the same reason its creator did: it has very little. My comment on Tarkovsky's (there…that is how you use it) own opinion was to highlight the fact that he himself was aware of…

After looking up your comment I have discovered that the crappy actor who played me in Part II (which was an even bigger pile of rubbish) is, in fact, dead. He seems to have hung himself upon realising that he, and all his work to date, sucked. He did date Tatyana Ali though…And she is way hotter than that stupid Moon…

No, that was my mother.

The movie was a piece of shit. The book is awesome. 'Bastian Balthasar Bux' is the coolest name in all of fiction. That is all.

How would you respond to Tarkovsky's own dismissal of the film and his many statements (in his diaries and in Sculpting in Time in particular) that he was very unhappy with it? It seems clear he was frustrated at every turn in his attempts to make such an 'un-socialist' film and that, as such, it is clearly a…

In his diaries he talks about how he was already planning and working on the next film while they were still in…

When I was about 15/16 and first really getting into playing the bass, I used to drive my parents insane by playing along with those three Bootsy albums ALL THE TIME and then talking at the dinner table about how AWESOME his playing was…They still make mildly sarcastic comments about it to this day…

He does have the coolest voice ever…Many times his songs have turned a depressed and tired room full of my friends into a party. That video I posted above is actually a Cinema verite documentary…

Bootsy greatness
Bootsy Collins is the funkiest creature to ever walk the earth. These two youtube clips have been making me happy for months now:

(sidebar) Ooh…Bresson related icon…lovely…Though Mouchette is my favourite of his films I think…

I too have a huge geek crush on her. I was lucky enough to chat with her for a while before her show here in London last month. Not only did she sign my vinyl with "Dearest Jonathan, I LOVE your red hair" but she was also reading Barthes 'A Lover's Discourse", which just made the crush even worse! She has a great…

It is a great book…If you are interested in that stuff there is a wonderful book called 'How the Universe Got Its Spots:
