Gwen Stacy Had Curious Taste In Movies
this here is a panel from a 1971 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. Criterion has apparently had it up on their facebook page since january but it’s new to me / awesome to everyone. of course, even the most casual geek / person with acces to wikipedia knows that Stacy was killed off 2 years later, and now Peter Parker has to watch I Am Curious by himself. so sad — i hope Gwen bequeathed him a lot of those kleenexes.
looking forward to how Marc Webb depicts this trip to the cinema in this summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man. if emma stone is all like “let’s go see I Am Curious (Blue) “ i am gonna write so many angry e-mails…
Film Comment’s Criterion Ads Are The Best
“Beauty… and the beast.”
methinks Lincoln Center’s bi-monthly film magazine is the only place i routinely see Criterion print ads, and this month’s cross between Belle de Jour and Godzilla is particularly fun. Criterion’s january line-up is pretttttyyyy special.
Fake Criterion Cover: THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE (dir. Joseph Green) 1962
i know it’s just a modified screen grab, but when it works it works, and this thing is so damn classy. nicely done. it’s not an especially telling barometer because i have the budget control of… um… America, but i’d buy it.
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die. A classic 60’s B-Movie that is one of those so bad its good films. Definitely a must watch!

Fake Criterion Cover: AMERICAN PSYCHO (dir. Mary Herron) 2000
Artist: Jeremy Hannigan
can’t say that i’m nuts about this movie (ha, nuts), but ya gotta respect the craft involved, here. something to be said for “showing your work,” and that background is killer (ha, killer).
Criterion’s American Psycho (unofficial schoolwork), 2011

Fake Criterion Cover: SAFE (dir. Todd Haynes) 1995
vargtimmen returns with an incredible cover for Todd Haynes’ best film. and now, without further ado, i shall return to jean-claude van damme’s best film, SUDDEN DEATH.
there’s a bomb. at game 7 of the stanley cup finals. where the vice president is for some reason. and jcvd replaces the pens’ goalie and makes a sick save on a breakaway. this movie will not be denied.

Disobedience may be described as the greatest luxury of youth, and there is nothing worse than those times when young people are too free, and consequently denied the opportunity to disobey. In my view, James Dean is a sort of archangel of rebellion against custom: was not death his finest act of disobedience, in its terrible rejection of his promised fame? It is as if he left hee world like a schoolboy escaping from the classroom through the window and poking his tongue out at his teachers.
All young people who are denied disobedience because they lack orders and hierarchies, are also deprived of mysticism and look around them for an ideal which will be the model of their dreams in flesh and blood. For all these reasons, James Dean gives sustenance to those souls in limbo between a dead civilisation they have never known and a civilisation in the making that they cannot yet enjoy.
Jean Cocteau on James Dean and youthful disobedience.
picked up Cocteau’s book The Art of Cinema this afternoon to begin prepping for Criterion’s August release of ORPHEUS. enjoying it immensely… nice guy, that Cocteau.
“In May 1968 I found myself in Paris once again, checking locations for the filming of THE MILKY WAY… Normally reasonable people lost their heads [during the revolution], and even Louis Malle, a very dear friend, became the leader of some action group. He spent his time organizing his troops for the final assault, and even ordering my son Juan-Luis to shoot the minute the cops turned the corner (had he obeyed, he would have been the only victim of the guillotine during the revolution).”
Luis Bunuel, from his memoir MY LAST SIGH.
yeah, i’ll probably keep upping a quote from this incredible book every morning this week. because it’s amazing. and methinks quotes look sexy with my template.
two of Louis Malle’s most aggressively unusual films — ZAZIE DANS LE METRO and BLACK MOON — were released via Criterion yesterday.
Fake Criterion Cover: GODZILLA: THE KING OF THE MONSTERS! (dir. Ishiro Honda & Terry O. Morse)
