5mins into being very excited about steven shainberg's 'FUR: An imaginary portrait of Diane ArbUs', i've already come to the conclusion that it will infact be terrible and that nicole kidman will destroy one of my heroes. It was a good 5 minutes though, and carter burwell's score alone might be worth the price of admission. |

| Stanley Kubrick's The Aristocrats |
[Sep. 10th, 2006|11:40 pm] |
Just watched the documentary 'the aristocrats' by (can't remember), which details the lore and inside-fame of the joke 'the aristocrats'. i wasn't aware of the joke 3 hours ago, but now have heard it many times, and after the doco you feel like a bit of an expert on it, so I started thinking.
i start thinking why hadn't i heard about this joke, so popular amongst my comedic peers, i mean heroes? maybe i had heard it but it didn't register....unlikely until i suddenly recall stanley kubrick's 'the shining'. Doesn't that film play a little like the joke? SPOILER ALERT! (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) Man walks into an office says yeah i'll be the caretaker of your hotel, i'll bring my family, it'll be a hoot etc., then comes an hour and a half of family abuse/taboo acts (including axed twins, chasing your wife and son with an axe, a lobby of rushing blood, sexual activity with a corpse, a man in a bear suit giving head to a man in a tux, etc.) And then comes the punchline: the last shot of the film zooming into the framed picture of jack torrence et al 1917 as true aristocrats! can't recall prcisely but also i think grady mentions to jack in the mens room something about "the best people"... maybe i'm tripping.
maybe i'm tripping indeed! |

IT IS POSSIBLE
played a song live on rtr today with my keyboard plugged directly into their sound desk... but unfortunately they had a shortage of headphones so i literally couldn't hear anything i was playing, that is to say i played piano for about 4mins live on air in complete silence. people have told me it sounded good but i will never know if they're lying. what a fucking trip! |

just saw the chumscrubber... can't quite make out if i like it or not.
thats unfair, i did like it... but was it good? it certainly was an ambitious debut for Arie someone. but unfortunately it will and can only be compared to donnie darko, by me and others, forever... anyone want to start an argument on which one is better?
coincidently after watching donnie darko my opinion on how good that was changed at least 4-5 times.... |

nearly everyone who reads this will be a friend i hardly see or know. that is not a bad thing so don't delete me.
i've really got into the Mars Volta's new album, Amputechture, and also Thom Yorke's The Eraser - it is amazing how no matter how far out I look or how open i am to new musics, it is old musical friends that beat me to my own pseudo-evolution - does shared consciousness expand or diminish in the wireless digital age? are you stuck with your old loves for life, or do you constantly destroy them and then re-love the altered?
re-re-love the altered. obviously.
i read enough of 'the man in the high castle' last night to start discussing the awesomeness of philip k dick if anyone wants to chase THAT dragon with me.
and have played enough GUITAR HERO to rip anyone to shreds if they they think they can shred as rippingly as me. you will never win... it will still be fun though.
LOVE BRETT |

of the past 24 hours all but 5mins (thanks n.x) have been shit. time to reflect.
i have what the Americans would call an African Flu - it is a lot more aggressive and more likely to end up killing me. and this only adds to a group of bodily "oww's" that have made me want to: saw off my nose, turn my back into a punching bag, stab nails into my foot, pour sugar into my eyes, drown my genitals in ice, and take out my brain. if anyone is keen to do these things to me i'll be happy, at least for tonight. tonight fucking tonight.
at work i had so many sneezing fits it pushed back what i actually had to do for an hour. i admit to having snot dribble all over my face whilst looking face to face with customers - a sneeze now would surely cover those fat, balding, hikrednek bolwer types with the tiny deadly Africans habitatooting my nose. work was also a strain on my back which has been fucked all week - i have what the English would call a French back... damn french!
then i had the graveyard editting suite booked from 11pm onwards... i spent over two hours there and achieved nothing, except spreding my nigerian aids like cold to my film group members. sorry rabbits! i have what eurovision would call a super group - friendly yet somewhat doomed to be nothings... like me. did i mention we achieved nothing... what a fucking waste of time... i bet you're staring to know how i feel.
a gig tomorrow/to night may ease this fucking headache of mine. but science teaches me that it will probably do the opposite.
at least i'm not dead right? did i mention i wanted to drown my genitals in ice! ice isn't even a fluid!
i want less of the above and more love. as always. |

about to make one of them ol'time classic casino movies. it will be four minutes long. so i've had to cut out the sex, violence, drugs, power struggles, etc. and just keep in a roulette table and the sweet blissful poetry of losing money. anyone interested in being an extra in the film (cowboys, midgets, anal debutant???) let me know cause i need heaven.
in other news my parents come to australia to visit me for two weeks, hoping to catch a terrorist attack or two i imagine... whilst in season. for the small price of irrational and heartbreaking judgement towards yours truly i may get a gift and some food in my belly from them being around. i also get to see my little sister who i haven't seen in months and months. apparently she has boobs now! can you believe it? as long as she's not acting like i did at her age i may not have to wring her neck.
jonny greenwood's soundtrack to the instrumental/montage film 'bodysong' is incredible. hear some of it at www.bodysong.com.
i should also add: hi everyone! |
