The Gardener

A song I video'd a few months ago...not too great a performance...but the sun was cool.

Slain by Sloan

Round table today for "ELEKTRA LUXX" with Carla Gugino, Malin Akerman, director Sebastian Gutierrez,



aaaaaaand Emmanuelle Chriqui. Sitting next to and talking to Sloan from "Entourage," I am heavily considering switching from atheist to agnostic.

Straight into Compton

Seeing three out of the four original Banksys still up in LA gives me satisfaction. Thanks Banksy, for getting me to go to Compton and turn off and exit my car.

Mariachi meets Mamba

The pairing of Robert Rodriguez and Kobe Bryant is both so satisfying and fitting; two bad-ass mother fuckers whose legacies have been defined by their defiantly merciless self-exploitations. This short will further blur the boundaries of pop culture status quo; it's a 6 minute commercial for Nike that can also cling to its fantastic "parody" status for validation. Perhaps even that acknowledgment disregards the movie from being held to the same rules of critical evaluation of other films, in terms of its success in achieving authentic art status. In which case, I will let my opinion reside with the school of thought that simply deems this movie, "fucking sweet."

Bricks and bones

Found myself visiting the "Crayola Shooter" again today. Met a fellow who told me about another Banksy in Beverly Hills of the dog peeing on an entire building wall; am gonna have to check that one out. The "No Parking" sign the gun was pointing at is gone, most likely being shopped around for tens of thousands of dollars.
