I saw the German film “Baader-Meinhof Komplex” yesterday. There was a scene in which a group of the RAF kill a German cabinet Minister in his home. As they are leaving the voice-over says: “…the Minister had no problem sending countless soldiers to their deaths in wars – but was dumbfounded when confronted with theContinue reading “Baader-Meinhof Komplex.

NEW, Improved! v2.16. 11 Oct 2009.
Added: Santa Fe Film Festival. 10 Oct 2009.
I was beginning to worry for a moment that the only places that could appreciate the Kenyans were foreign countries. It’s really incredible having it screen in Santa Fe. OK. So, checklist: A. You get to film in Santa Fe, NM, B. you get to use great industry personnel, C. you get a 25% productionContinue reading “Added: Santa Fe Film Festival. 10 Oct 2009.”
Mssr Deakins. 3 Oct 2009.
This a photo that U.S. photographer, Laura Wilson, took of U.K. cinematographer, Roger Deakins, on the set of “No Country for Old Men” and sent to me. We had lunch in Dallas and I told her that every time I turned on cable there was a film that Mssr Deakins had been DP on.
I’m Jumping Jack Flash. 1 Oct 2009.
I’m not really Jack Flash, but for some reason this snap reminded me of the photo of Mick Jagger’s cut hand in the seventies. And I do like the song. Warhol might have done a print of Jagger’s stitched hand…. We have been constantly adjusting car camera mounts over the last three days to getContinue reading “I’m Jumping Jack Flash. 1 Oct 2009.”
Here it isn’t. 1 Oct 2009.
May 17, 1975: Mick Jagger smashes his hand through a restaurant window in Montauk, Long Island, requiring twenty stitches on his wrist. Couldn’t find the actual photo. But he didn’t lose a thumb.
Queremos paz. We are here to join the Rebels. 30 Sept 2009.
I woke up a few mornings ago totally sickened by what art has become of late. As Basquiat tagged: “THE WHOLE LIVERY LINE BOW LIKE THIS WITH THE BIG MONEY ALL CRUSHED INTO THESE FEET.” Art has become a proper whore’s circus. When Beuy’s said: “Everyone is an artist.” I don’t think he meant itContinue reading “Queremos paz. We are here to join the Rebels. 30 Sept 2009.”
Atlanta. 25 Sept 2009.
If you are one of the 14% of our population that doesn’t have the ability to interpret things in any manner other than literally – avoid the two bottom photos. They will just give you fits. Not good for ze literalistas!!! I’d ridden Vespas once before in Seville. Some French friends were in town andContinue reading “Atlanta. 25 Sept 2009.”
Je m’appelle… Pinochet. 22 Sept 2009.
Dog? Dictator? You decide… This is one of my fishing buddies from the Big Wood river in Ketchum, ID. He appeared out of nowhere. He barked. He swam. He got an assist on a 13″ trout. He told bust-a-gut jokes. You know how boring casting can get, right? The bottom snap is the front doorContinue reading “Je m’appelle… Pinochet. 22 Sept 2009.”
