the true cost: an every-season essential
“the true cost” the movie: know what your cheap clothes, that you don’t need, are doing to this world
true cost fashion documentary movie trailer
behind the scenes with director andrew morgan explaining why he was led to make the documentary film “the true cost”
yes this is an older film but i just saw it. a great movie for anyone in the fashion, design, advertising community but also for anyone who is a consumer of cheap things, from H&M, to gap, to zara, to forever 21. you will be thinking twice before you buy yet another item you don’t need. “in reality they are making us, and this world poor, yet giving us the illusion of being rich, by offering us cheap things we don’t need at cost we truly don’t understand“… a must see. by kl

who needs snow to ski: candide thovex for audi
candide thovex ski on no snow
if you do an ad that is actually not about your product but rather about something truly interesting, then you have a chance for people to see it and share it. and in the end, you win, as they may like you for being a part of that experience. we will take that over an ad that spends time trying to convince you that one brand of luxury car is better than the next. by lz
alejandro iñárritu: the revenant, complete with buffalo carpaccio
the revenant: buffalos, indians, and the great planes… sign me up!
based on a novel by michael punke
this guy, leo carpaccio, is not a favorite of ours but when pickings in hollywood are so slim he will have to do. like johnny depp he has tried his best to avoid the horrendous film scripts he and johnny took on at the early part of their careers. plus working with martin scorsese did win him some accolades from us as well. here again he is teaming up with a great director, alejandro g. iñárritu (tier 2) aiming to do something worthy. and look at that music by ryuichi sakamoto!!!! (long time no see). we’re sure this will not be an epic film to hold up, like say “aguirre wrath of god”, but as far as entertainment goes, this could be a good potential. i’m bummed as i can’t find the original trailer i saw, with buffalos and a horse dropping down a major cliff in the end (anyone? links?), but this will have to do. its worth waiting for on DVD or netflix if you ask me…. we only go the cinema to support our favorite directors (lynch, JLG, wes anderson, herzog, etc). by xy

most people don’t really want the truth
this animation should be all it takes to knock some sense into the nutty minds of everyone suffering from being blinded by the current pseudoscientific trend. it’s about time we have a renascence of the age of enlightenment where empiricism and scientific rigor overcomes the mumbo jumbo of ufo-logists and parapsychologists. if anyone is still “skeptic” towards the skeptics after seeing the video, please rewind and see it again. if still in doubt… choose your own punishment and buy one of the two following items: why people believe weird things or the $530 spiritual nourishment. by kt
girl on a motorcycle: anke eve goldmann and her BMW R69S
anke eve goldmann with her BMW R69S back in 1957
girl on a motorcycle starring…
anke eve goldman as journalist and bike enthusiast who wrote for moto revue in france. she was the first woman to ride a motorcycle with a one-piece leather racing suit, made for her by german manufacturer harro, which in my opinion, stated the S&M craze ; ) she was the source for the character rebecca in the book titled the motorcycle (1963) by andre pieyre de mandiargues. that book was made into a movie, the girl on a motorcycle, later staring guess who? marianne faithfull. by dd

thoughts of a dry brain in a dry season
an audio of thomas stearns eliot reading his 1920 piece gerontion. the poem represents the view of a “gerontic” or elderly man and his modernist views on religion and sexuality amongst other topics. although the line “thoughts of a dry brain in a dry season” is a metaphor for age, i thought it would be rather fitting for this peculiar new york weather we’ve been having. plus, i cannot think of a more satisfying way to hear eliot read than by the genius himself. by sv
columbus day special: ken burns the west
photograph of sitting bull (the indian one with feathers, but not actually from india) and buffalo bill (the white guy with a fake looking stache, looking very custer like) in 1895 by william notman
“fight no more forever” –chief joseph
according to chief sitting bull … it was a “good day to die”… but it turned out he didn’t have to, it was general custer’s last stand! ken burns: “the battle of little big horn–a good day to die”
ken burns is an incredible, world respected documentary director, and this series is yet another example of his thorough research and amazing story-telling. an apt post for columbus day… happy shopping, but just take a moment to pause in respect of the true natives of this land… and if you enjoy this be sure to look up the documentary by ken burns on the history of jazz, amazing as well. by xy
