squaring the circle (the story of hipgnosis album cover art)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO238OvVRGo
and the full film watch it before its taken down
great film for all you music lovers, this goes back into the 60s and 70s and the rise of album cover art of the era. pink floyd most famous album art; from dark side of the moon, atom heart mother (cow cover), and animals, with the flying pig that escaped the tethers and almost crashed airplanes landing into heathrow. watch it all on this free link on youtube before they take it down. by bb
around the office it’s not uncommon to hear the phrase “great things don’t come out every [expletive] fucking year”, often followed by “if you’re lucky, once in a decade – but, i mean, it’s a [expletive] fucking miracle if a generation produces one great thing”, and then maybe an hour and a half lecture on godard or kali malone.
here below are three good movies.
killers of the flower moon, scorsese
priscilla, coppola
anatomy of a fall, triet
go see them, one might make the cut to great. who knows? by lsd
the talented mister ripley: with matt damon as tom ripley, jude law as dickie greenleaf, gwyneth paltrow as marge sherwood, cate blanchett as meredith logue, and philip seymour hoffman as freddie miles
stanley kubrick’s 2001 space odyssey
sight & sound: the cinema of walter murch – a good film directed by jon lefkovitz for anyone interested in cinema, film editing and sound editing
the godfather with al pacino
given your ass will be positioned at home and under quarantine, here’s something worthy to watch. all the great films are somehow mentioned in here from carl deyer to michelangelo antonioni… watch it here (see clip above) or see it on vimeo – approved by dd but suggested by rb
saw this years ago but was just talking about it tonight
its def worth a 2nd watch – trailer: “a girl walks home alone”
directed by ana lily amirpour
the dealer
produced for just under $57K and filmed, not in iran, but rather in the town of taft in s. california. if you haven’t seen it, do give it a try… “a girl walks home alone” was directed by ana lily amirpour, 2nd generation iranian, born in margate england, and grew up in california. the film professed as “the first iranian vampire western” by its director is quite dark and funny… it premiered back in 2014 at the sundance film festival and it is quite a trip… especially the floating scenes of the vampire on her skateboard. by pr
another man: jarvis cocker was always good at scaring us… wasn’t he?
well finding this jarvis cocker interview on the BBC with him just reconfirms how cool documentary film maker adam curtis actually was and still is…
saw this years ago, but how relevant and true this holds today with president donald trump and the disappearance of truth and the normalization of injustice and falsehoods. definitely worth a watch again if you have already seen this. And a must if you have never seen it.
russia, donald trump, patty smith and a damn good documentary. grab a glass of your oat milk, get-off Instagram and sit your money maker down. the flash sales can wait. by dd
freddie mercury’s reaction to kanye west (direct link) hilarious
and the trailer for the film Bohemian Rhapsody – great mix on the audio
and the notorious bicycle race making of video shot at wimbledon
queen, much like kanye, definitely had their embarrassing moments and songs but unlike kanye, they did also have some incredible masterpieces. a man with a golden voice and intriguing lyrics. cant wait to see it. by dd
black mirror: jessica brown-findlay – anyone who knows what love is
I was wondering why i like this song, when i simply cannot stand rihanna, i can’t help but be intrigued if they actually were influenced to do this song based on the early episode of black mirror from season 1? by dd
