New Herzog Film: Bad Lieutenant
Kind of an advanced choice for a remake. And it stars both Nicholas Cage and Val Kilmer. (Via Socialism and/or barbarism.)
The Boss of it All
A new Lars von Trier film (well, a remake of the Danish version), and some strange reflections on his left hand of darkness:
(Via Ads without Products.)
Theresa Andersson Sings!
I didn’t want to post this because I am jealous, but it’s too good not to note.

Faith of My Fathers
I paid a visit to the district library yesterday to pick up some movies to watch (grabbed Ed Wood, which I’ve seen before, The Red Shoes, Paris, je t’aime, The Boys From Brazil, and Some Like it Hot). While combing through their selection, I came across this amazing film version of John McCain’s autobiography, Faith of My Fathers. Apparently it was a 2005 made-for-TV movie, which was released on DVD last year in time for his presidential run. I wish I could find the synopsis on the back of the DVD cover, because it’s hilarious, but this YouTube clip seems like it’s a worthy substitute:

The Horror of Work
This is quite remarkable. It is, in essence, the non-didactically politicized “real life” equivalent of Hooper’s underwatched The Mangler. What we get here is the stupendous overleaping of quite real dangers in the work place (from actual hand mangling accidents to the long slow mental and physical deterioration resulting from numbing boredom and motions) to a fantasmatic Grand Guignol of how a lack of vigilance leads to… a cannister firing across the room like a warehouse bat out of hell?
Love Is All Need
Bob Dylan using his crooner voice on the Johnny Cash Show to look at the other side of “Love Is All You Need”: If you don’t have the only thing you need you’re lost. The same love that is supposed to ensure peace and understanding can also inspire desperation and lechery. A softer diction response to Leonard Cohen and a precursor to Nick Cave and Beck’s Sea Change.
David Bowie’s America
David Bowie covering Simon and Garfunkel on an Omnichord at that big 9/11 benefit concert.
Unlikely Collaborations
Two unlikely collaborations.
The first is Lou Reed joining Sam Moore for “Soul Man”. Why does that exist? I’m not really sure, but it’s a good song.
And the Moldy Peaches sing “Two Princes” with that guy who sang “Two Princes”. I’m not really sure it’s a good song, but it’s great. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Adam Green that happy.
Kilgore Trout on Youtube?
Apparently Kilgore Trout is no longer a fictional character and he has a youtube page.
