"His Divine Grace"
I have no idea what this hogwash is supposed to mean, but these are some truly stunning, stunningly bizarre paintings. No idea who the artist is, unfortunately.

April 11, 2010Fins & FinnegansI just wanted to make quick mention here of two similar projects currently engaged in by a couple of my friends. Please consider visiting their respective sites and take some time to admire their efforts. Both of these gentlemen have been graciously encouraging of my own work; I'm equally impressed with the quality of theirs and humbled by their dedication to such large undertakings. ***
Matt Kish has been possessed by the ghost of Ahab, obsessively cresting the wave of each page of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick and leaving a trail of illustrations floating in his wake. His interpretations are varied in style and form; often created on found paper, he utilizes mixed media, drawing and painting to draw forth the many layers of the novel, from mechanical diagrams of vessels and equipment to aboriginal patterning appropriate to many of the book's vivid characters. See his work at: One Drawing for Every Page of Moby-Dick ***
Stephen Crowe has recently begun to unpuzzle the language and meanings of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, reassembling each page as a sort of illuminated manuscript. He combines traditional drawing with excellent use of vector graphics and photoshop skills, resulting in carefully composed and beautifully textured pages.

Never has a human being lived who was more full of shit than ZIZEK. 1/10 
The title of this film is a LIE! A big fat stinking LIE! There's no "adventure" in this movie, it's just a bunch of stuck-ups lost on an island and looking bored in bed. Not cool, not exciting. L'Avvoid, at all costs. 10/10
Sirk-on-acid melodrama at which Fassbinder so excelled. Startlingly vivid color photography. It's a movie, it was made on film, with actors and a story. I like it. I'm writing about it right now. Where am I. 8/10
Exquisitely photographed ghost story/moral parable. A bit simplistic or even didactic, but the truths of greed, vanity and short-sightedness never go out of style. And the expected results - losses for all the characters - are nonetheless very affecting. 9/10
Martel is one of the better female directors working today - her body of work is obviously smaller than someone like Claire Denis, but her style and approach is no less distinct. This film in particular captures the humid atmosphere of South American middle class (?) decay palpably well. Hints of Wertmuller, Pasolini, et al. 8/10
Possibly my favorite horror film of all time. Yeah, I know: BIG DEAL 10/10
Execrably misogynistic exploitation masquerading as "feminist empowerment" -- a reprehensible, dishonest failure in its every aspect: nonsensical, unnecessary editing, the substitution of "attitude" for character, a resort to the supernatural at the expense of believability, etc. etc. etc. 0/10
I suppose the notion that you have a perfect twin somewhere in the world is just as frightening as it is reassuring... and then, which is worse: meeting or not meeting that person? Is your soul yours, theirs... or does it belong to no one? Superior in every aspect to its insipid half-copy, Amelie... Kieslowski's best film, IMHO. 9/10
