Last night we attempted to watch Avatar and after about eleven disastrous dismal minutes, we simply wholly failed to deal. I heard myself say something like [as far as films go]: I always thought Americans were stupid retarded, now I know they are. And then I retracted the statement (the words) because I know that’s not a succinctly fair or totally accurate thing to say. Plus there’s a great many Americans I very much like and there’s a handful of American films I do genuinely admire, enjoy and appreciate.

Still and/but just the same:

Avatar is terrible. We neither of us anticipated very much but we were unprepared for the film to be worse than our expectations (which all were openly low). Anyway or still. Least it wasn’t as unrelentingly melodramatic, rapaciously extravagant and ruthlessly stupefying as Lars von Trier’s Antichrist was... Though if I had to choose, I’d probably pick Antichrist. The hope is that I’ll never have to choose. [And I don’t think Lars von Trier is his name anymore, I now call him LVT. Cause Antichrist is not so much a film as it is a kind of magnificently inconceivable catastrophe].

Dooce is a beautiful woman who lives in a beautiful home with her two beautiful young daughters and her two beautiful dogs. She’s a professional blogger whose supportive loving husband quit his day job to support and love her: She is the creative beginning, he is the business finish, it’s clearly a good and successful arrangement and it seems to work.

What I like best are the wonderful portraits of the dogs Chuck and Coco.

The greatest pictures are made in the style of “Chuck-Holds-Something-To-Head.” Aside from the likable novelty of dogs holding something to head, the pictures themselves are brightly warm and uniquely beautiful, every time. The dogs too clearly are loved and lovable (not to mention wonderfully patient, almost preternaturally compliant and beautifully sweet).

The Greatest Distraction

THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

Appears to be Devon Aoki. I am unsure who is responsible for the perfection of the shot; I don’t know who took the
picture or who worked the wonders of the details that the picture contains. The image of course is a loveliness and
the hair especially is a dream.

ART IS A LIE THAT MAKES US REALIZE TRUTH

STORY — Anton Chekhov. The Duel

FILM — Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Syndromes and a Century

BOOK — Haruki Murakami. Norwegian Wood

SONG — Of Porcelain. The Greatest Distraction

EXCITING1

Norwegian Wood has been adapted into a film to be released this fall and stars Rinko Kikuchi as Naoko. This film has chances then to be as quietly devastating and beautifully restrained as the book is. Norwegian Wood is not my favourite Murakami but I did really love and admire it: Murakami’s writing often is a a kind of slow hypnosis, the worlds he creates are lonely, sleepy and surreal. Norwegian Wood might be his most honest and most personal work and it ends with such mesmerizing inconconclusiveness that the whole weight of sadness and beauty contained in the story is delivered hauntingly and most fully in the final line.

EXCITING2

The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao is also going to be made into a film and I hope it will at the very least do the book sufficient justice. Walter Salles is directing the film and while I’m not overly familiar with his work as a director, I did enjoy both The Motorcycle Diaries and Linha de Passe. Generally it seems Salles’ films are beautiful to look at,
the camera work and moving photography always are excellent and gorgeously very precise. He at least is visibly competent, I just hope everything else falls flawlessly into place. I’m curious to know who will be cast as Yunior, Lola and particularly: who will be Oscar. I’m sure Junot Díaz is similarly curious [though he’s probably as ’worried’ as he is excited].

Last day of the year.
How sweet and interesting and kind of 'fucked.'



Before cleaning and all the ’stress’ of choosing hairstyles, outfits, boots and parties, I’ve
at least figured out some resolutions for the new year. These are, that being: WEAR
HATS, FALL INTO LIKE and READ SOME BOOKS. Some other things too but those are
still private or rather : I'll unveil my ’plans’ as they happen.

Hope your tonights really kill and glow.

Skyscraping

Christian Louboutin was somebody in the world of shoes only until Nicholas
Kirkwood arrived and calmly took his crown away. I want basically every
architecturally artistic and elegant example of an extravagantly exquisite high
heeled conception as pictured below.



Boots used only to be all that mattered. Until subjugating men for both
diversion and dollars made high heels subsequently sweetly and suddenly
relevant. Life. And all its stimulating twists, its prettily perplexing impractical
changes.
