Encounter #142: Géraldine Pailhas in a doorway.

cinema
From Maurice Pialat's Le Garçu, his final film, which I saw Friday night at BAM with a number of Brooklyn film nerds before watching the Rockets break down. This shot is, as Dave put it, really cinematic on top of, as we boys may put it, really sexy. And that turn on is really cool, too. I may write something more coherent about its more safe-for-work qualities later. But it's late now and I should pass out. Got plenty to do tomorrow. --RWK

A little NBA Action ...
Artest and Rafer



I don't hate the Lakers ... I like them, I guess. Mostly bc its fun to watch a great player be great. That being said, Ron Artest (haircut and all) is so cool and Kobe is so easily put into his place as an LA brat. have you seen his face when he's winning??? ewww. much less losing. Fuck a Lebron/Kobe matchup. it wont be close. I hope a more passionate "team" goes on to play the Cavs, who very much deserve to beat anybody they end up against. The Rafer thing is weird. If he did it to anyone but a Celtic, id probably be more skeptical of him now. but i sympathize with him. fuck you Doc, fuck you Ed House.

Also, I wasnt able to extract the one post on its own, but on free Darko (a blog I go back and forth on), today's post about Dirk was really great. Its called "What's Safe, Sound and Vulgar." It has to do with Dirk specifically and race relations in the NBA generally. I highly rec'd it. thanks, sincerely, cuyler.

Fake Criterion Discs

Found these fake Criterion Discs on The Auteurs. If someone could pull off a Little Giants 2-disc box set, I would pay a hundred bucks. Below are some of the ones I think look pretty legit.

Ewwww! If you like this pic/man/team, you hate sports

Summer of No Shame '09






In only a few short weeks it will be hot/crazy/sexy/cool and I will be consuming a quantity of dry white wine that would probably kill Elton John in his prime.

Couple Songs on a Friday Morning


Other than Rick Ross' Deeper than Rap album, I have a couple rec's this morning.
Julian and I agree, after hearing this, Mos Def needs to cover 808's. Live at some incredible place in Manhattan Im sure, Say You Will (kanye West).
And this dj/producer duo that made the previous post, has some other shit out there. this one specifically, is unreal. R kells.

Terrible Marketing #57: Reasons to not go see the play


This came on during the NBA Playoffs here in NYC. Fuck. This. --RWK

AIDS in THR33 Dimensions



I never blog past 9PM (bad for the erection) but I thought I'd share a very special website with all y'all. AIDS-3D is another one of those random-image sites like Jjjjound or Ffffound or fucking Michelle Obama's flickr account or whatever, but far, far, FAR more sinister.

I know this sounds fucking crazy, but this website is possibly the closest graphical representation of what was going through my mind when I was fourteen and just got the Internet like a week ago.

I am dead serious about this. Go. Now.

G.O.A.T.




Boy, oh boy, I do love a good sports film and TYSON is right up there with Tokyo Olympiad and Cool Runnings in my mind. When you hear some of the insane shit that comes out of his mouth (sample: "I'll fuck you till you love me faggot") you can really see why a lot of guys lost before they even set foot in the ring with him.


Encounter #141: This is brief


I must remember this and try to control myself. --RWK

What Community? #90: I hear it's HOT in SF.

What Community? #89: Doin rails

more networks
America's gonna do some rails. Or, Prezman made a proposal, which you can more about over here. I think it would be a great thing. Might help me sell that train novel, too, since trains will be so hip in this new network. --RWK [click pic for slightly bigger image]
