| Coolness: 159435 | this is the manifeste of the dogma movies...
.. is a collective of film directors founded in Copenhagen in spring 1995. DOGME 95 has the expressed goal of countering “certain tendencies” in the cinema today. DOGME 95 is a rescue action! In 1960 enough was enough! The movie was dead and called for resurrection. The goal was correct but the means were not! The new wave proved to be a ripple that washed ashore and turned to muck. Slogans of individualism and freedom created works for a while, but no changes. The wave was up for grabs, like the directors themselves. The wave was never stronger than the men behind it. The anti-bourgeois cinema itself became bourgeois, because the foundations upon which its theories were based was the bourgeois perception of art. The auteur concept was bourgeois romanticism from the very start and thereby ... false! To DOGME 95 cinema is not individual! Today a technological storm is raging, the result of which will be the ultimate democratisation of the cinema. For the first time, anyone can make movies. But the more accessible the media becomes, the more important the avant-garde, It is no accident that the phrase “avant-garde” has military connotations. Discipline is the answer ... we must put our films into uniform, because the individual film will be decadent by definition! DOGME 95 counters the individual film by the principle of presenting an indisputable set of rules known as THE VOW OF CHASTITY. In 1960 enough was enough! The movie had been cosmeticised to death, they said; yet since then the use of cosmetics has exploded. The “supreme” task of the decadent film-makers is to fool the audience. Is that what we are so proud of? Is that what the “100 years” have brought us? Illusions via which emotions can be communicated? ... By the individual artist’s free choice of trickery? Predictability (dramaturgy) has become the golden calf around which we dance. Having the characters’ inner lives justify the plot is too complicated, and not “high art”. As never before, the superficial action and the superficial movie are receiving all the praise. The result is barren. An illusion of pathos and an illusion of love. To DOGME 95 the movie is not illusion! Today a technological storm is raging of which the result is the elevation of cosmetics to God. By using new technology anyone at any time can wash the last grains of truth away in the deadly embrace of sensation. The illusions are everything the movie can hide behind. |

| Coolness: 159435 | Simpsons film confirmed for 2007
The Simpsons is now in its 17th series on US television Twentieth Century Fox has confirmed that popular animated TV series The Simpsons is to be made into a film. The movie will be released in the United States in July 2007. A 25-second trailer for the film has been shown to US audiences at screenings of Ice Age: The Meltdown, promising to introduce "the greatest hero in American history". It then cut to Homer Simpson, wearing only his underwear, who admitted: "I forgot what I was supposed to say." The Simpsons revolves around the antics of bald, beer-guzzling family man Homer and his spiky-haired son Bart. International hit It is the longest-running prime-time entertainment series on television in the US and a worldwide hit. It is currently in its 17th season, and last month, US network Fox confirmed it had commissioned two more series. This ensured the show would stay on screens until at least 2008. There has long been speculation about whether it would be turned into a film. Creator Matt Groening said last year that the animated hit would keep going as long as he and his colleagues could keep generating fresh ideas. teaser trailer [ www.apple.com ] |

 Coolness: 72135 | i used to watch skate movies and jason lee was in team blind after moving from world industries i think
and when i saw him in hollywood movies after that i was kind of surprised because i thought he was just a skater. i just wanted to share that. i saw "the choir" and "3 iron" on the movie network and i thought they were very nice movies i have on my harddrive "the trial" by orson welles (which i had seen already before though) "style wars" and "the hidden fortress" by kurosawa that i have yet to watch i really liked some of the kurosawa movies i've seen eg. "dreams" and "Seven samurai" amongst others... "the trial" is an exercise in paranoia and "style wars" i think is a movie about graf in new york in the 80s mono, tetsuo: the iron man - is that "le geant de fer" comic. i thought that one was nice. |

 Coolness: 151160 | Aww, shit!! Not only are you guys talking about Movies... but graffiti too!!?
I've yet to see Style Wars -my friend's roomie owns it on DVD, i've yet to have a chance to nab it his shelf If your into bombing videos (graff movies), check out Dirty Hands 1 & 2. It includes nothing but all Europes hardcore writers(mostly France and Germany) who do LIVE bombing on camera. It's some gutsy shit. As a matter of fact: Every person involved in the production was arrested. Most of the footage is of trains that have been hit, but you also see a lot of guys who paint live on the street. Like I said, if you like graffiti, check it out. I know it's not a movie, but if your interested on reading about Hip-Hop culture, pick up "Bomb The Suburbs" by William Upski Wimsatt "William Upski Wimsatt's Bomb the Suburbs is an inspired and inspiring discussion of race relations through the eyes of a white, middle class male who earned his acceptance into the world of Chicago hip-hop through the arts of graffiti writing and b-boying. Pieced together from interviews, narratives, letters, and magazine articles, and peppered with drawings and photographs, Bomb the Suburbs provides an intimate account of the state of hip-hop in the early nineties, perhaps the beginnings of the current widespread cultural fascination with all things urban."

| Coolness: 72135 | NY was full of graffitti everywhere in the early 80s.
must have been something else... bomb the suburbs? i'd like to read that book sometime... i just finished watching "the call of cthulhu" a 2005 silent movie made on a low budget by the hp lovecraft society - it's about 45 minutes long and made as if a silent movie from the 1930s well done. interesting bit in there about "the devil worshipping esquimaux from greenland" i've always liked lovecraft since high school and it was fun to see a movie in the spirit of his writing appropriate movie for today's 6/6/6 date and a good adaptation of his work also i've taken an interest in Harry Smith - i saw "movie" of his a year or so ago called "early abstractions" obviously very abstract - no story line just experiments in film and colour and shapes and alchemical concepts quite an interesting charcater he made some great contributions to the wonderful smithsonian folkways record collection for more info about him: [ www.sensesofcinema.com ] |

| Coolness: 151160 | Bomb the Suburbs is a really interesting book. Like it was mentioned in the review, it's made up of Interviews, articles, drawings, etc. But really, it's his narratives that hook you in. His experiences back then were so real. The whole idea of "getting up" in the Hip-Hop community back in the day was taken so seriously -in contrast to today where there is hardly any respect for anybodies achievements (IMO).
However, on another hand, some of the interviews can get pretty dry - I dunno, I was pretty young when I read this, so maybe I just didn't appreciate what they were saying. In all honesty, this is the book that inspired me to read more than just "fantasy", and is actually what got me into writing my own work and what helped me develop my own sense of prose. I hope i'm not hyping this out of proportion... I just really dug this book. |
