ERYKAH BADU- WINDOW SEAT

erykah badu's new video- WINDOW SEAT, is very inspired.
especially during these times of corporate everything, and label obsessed queens, she takes a low-budget-high concept idea and really makes it work. with her ending nude and shot on the grassy knoll, of dealey plaza in dallas texas, the exact spot of the kennedy assassination, (11/22/1963) 47 years ago, takes some guts.
she was fined $500 for public indecency. i say it was well worth it.



and of course the prerequisite parody video by WANDA SYKES-

SCARY SCENES FROM MOVIES

i'm continuing on with my creepy/scary, "keister," weekend and present my fave hideous scenes from my fave films.

AUDITION
- 1999- Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Miike.


MISERY
-1990- She then breaks his ankles with a sledgehammer in an act of "hobbling".


SIGNS
-2002- the Brazilian birthday party scene.


LES DIABLOLIQUES
-1955- only five years after its release, Véra Clouzot died of a heart attack at age 46, her character in the film also having heart problems.

BIG SNAKE

i'm still in this scary/creepy mood.. i blame it on "keister."

MEN- REDUCE YOUR MALE NIPPLES NOW!

this is the most bizarre thing! i had no idea men were suffering from enlarged nipples. i do like the artwork in the dr.'s office.


if they don't want big nips, maybe these guys should stop doing this-

KEISTER

maybe because i'm now back in LA, or maybe because, "keister" is approaching, (my least favorite holiday) i am reminded of the 6 scariest movie scenes of all times-

THE SHINNING- "HERE'S JOHNNY"
(1980- Jack Torrance sticking his head through the axe-hewn hole in the bathroom door, leeringly saying, "Here's Johnny," has become one of the most well-known parodies)


PSYCHO- SHOWER SCENE
(1960- The film's pivotal scene, and one of the most famous scenes in cinema history, is the murder of Janet Leigh's character in the shower)


THE EXORCIST- CRUCIFIX SCENE
1973- Regan, possessed by the demons, commits sacrilege against a crucifix by repeatedly stabbing her vagina with it.


DAMIEN: OMEN ll- DAMIAN IT'S ALL FOR YOU
(1978- journalist Joan Hart tries to warn Richard about grave danger but he throws her out. She then goes to meet Damien at his school but when she sees his face she drives off in panic. On the road, she is attacked by a crow, which pecks her eyes out, causing her to be run over by a passing truck)


THE SENTINEL- WHO ARE YOU?
(1977- The film became controversial when it was revealed the director used actual disfigured people and circus freaks to represent demons during the climax)


ALIEN- OH GOD!
(1979- When the creature burst through the chest a stream of blood shot directly at Veronica Cartwright, shocking her enough that she fell over and went into hysterics)

29 PALMS INN

believe it or not i'm on vacation!

yes there is rest for the wicked... even for me.
i arrived in PS, (palm springs) yesterday and chilled out by the pool & jacuzzi..

then had a tennessee williams marathon watching ~
SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH- ROMAN SPRING OF MRS STONE, and REFECTION IN A GOLDEN EYE.
this last flick in not written by tennessee, but has the same tone and homo-longing, so popular in his writings.



today i went to 29 PALMS INN to relive some old memories.
the first time i was @ the 29 palms inn was-1983 with HERB RITTS for a shoot for PER LUI.. a now defuncted italian fashion magazine. i was the wardrobe stylist. then in 1994, i brought bruce labruce here, thinking it would be the perfect place to write a script.. it was.. we wrote HUSTLER WHITE here in 10 days.

i have so many memories of this inn i was curious to see if it was still the same.. it is.. looks exactly the same.. like time has stood still.. a postcard from 1928 thru 1956 americana.

RICKY MARTIN FINALLY COMES OUT OF THE CLOSET

After more than a decade of speculation, singer Ricky Martin has finally settled the debate on his sexuality -- by acknowledging on Monday he's "proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man."

The "La Vida Loca" hitmaker announced Monday on his official site that in the process of writing a memoir he had confronted some lingering questions (like, say, one that Barbara Walters pressed relentlessly for years ago?).
