Jim Jarmusch: «Iggy Pop And Tom Waits In – Coffee and Cigarettes»
11 JanAus dem Film Coffee and Cigarettes von Jim Jarmusch zeigen wir die Episode Somewhere in California in voller Länge: Bei einem Zusammentreffen von Tom Waits und Iggy Pop erzählt Tom davon, dass er einen ausgesprochen anstrengenden Tag als Notarzt gehabt habe. Er habe direkt am Straßenrand jemanden operieren müssen. Iggy ist darüber ziemlich verblüfft, denn bisher wusste er nicht, dass Tom im Nebenjob Arzt ist. Beide Musiker diskutieren lange darüber, dass es eine hervorragende Sache sei, mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören.
Der Film ist bei Amazon als OmU erhältlich. Wir persönlich bevorzugen ja mehr die OoU-Version. Aber wenn es nicht anders geht…

Klaus Kinski: «Welpenschutz möglich»
8 JanDas interessante an diesem Interview ist, daß Klaus Kinski mehrere Offerten, standesgemäß auszuflippen, schlicht ignorierte und für sein Selbstverständnis ungemein gelassen blieb. War es etwa, daß schweizer TV-Journalisten, die weiße Tennissocken zu schwarzen Schuhen trugen, die umgehende Aufnahme in Kinskis persönliches Welpenschutzprogramm gewährt wurde? Wir vermögen nicht, es restlos auszuschließen.
***NACHTRAG – vom 13.01.2013***
Zukünftig wird Klaus Kinski für uns kein Thema mehr sein.

Reefer Madness
31 Oct
Click to enlarge stonedlyOriginally financed by a church group under the title Tell Your Children, the film Reefer Madness was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale attempting to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use. However, soon after the film was shot, it was purchased by producer Dwain Esper, who re-cut the film for distribution on the exploitation film circuit. The film did not gain an audience until it was rediscovered in the 1970s and gained new life as a piece of unintentional comedy among advocates of cannabis policy reform. Today, it is in the public domain in the United States and is considered a cult film which is to be downloaded here. It inspired a musical satire, which premiered off-Broadway in 2001, and a film based on the musical in 2005.

Ed Walker: «Woody Allen»
15 Jul
Ed Walker says on his flickr-account: «Woody Allen filming some scenes at the Blue Finn Building where I work on Bankside in London.»
On his personal website he writes: «Hi I’m Ed Walker, a Graphic Designer and Photographer living and working in London, United Kingdom. By day I am a Digital Designer for Immediate Media, by night I am a masked avenger hunting down the scum of the ci… oh hold on that supposed to be a secret. In my spare time I enjoy shooting street photography, city landscapes and the occasional portrait.»

Edward Quinn: «Grace Kelly and Alfred Hitchcock»
13 Jul
Edward Quinn: «Grace Kelly and Alfred Hitchcock»; 1954
We cannot precisely say that Alfred Hitchcock was pretty much amused when his gold donkey («Goldesel» – as we say in Germany), carrying this marvellous name Grace Kelly around the globe and on her v-card, married Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi, Count of Polignac and the Prince of Monaco in 1956, an event which automatically ended her career as one of the most hottest and wanted Hollywood divas with a blimp of an eye.
Nevertheless, this photograph, taken by Edward Quinn in the year 1954, displays the basis of their harmoniously and perfectly working cooperating system: Our Full English Gentleman is celebrating High Tea with the later Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco. At that present moment they both were working on To Catch a Thief in Cannes.
Edward Quinn’s website provides us with some information about himself: «Born 1920 in Ireland, lived and worked since 1950 as a photographer on the French Riviera. During the “Golden Fifties” this was the favored playground retreat for celebrities from the world of show biz, art and business. The Edward Quinn Archive contains more then 100’000 photos from the 1950s up to the 1970s. It’s very likely that every famous person who visited the French Riviera at the time was photographed by Quinn. The most important part of the archive consists of about 10’000 photos of Picasso.»
We like to strongly recommend his two books: «Riviera Cocktail» and «Stars And Cars Of The ’50s».
At the very present moment the Hamburg based gallery Photography Monika Mohr Galerie shows «Edward Quinn: Pablo Picasso» from June 5th until October 9th 2012.

Best George Clooney Look-A-Like Contest ever!
18 Feb
Screenshot Huffington PostWell, whatever matches, it matches. There are, however, some doubters. Here are some of their voices: «One wrote: “What criteria was used? Possibly just one? That he be male and have hair?” while another, perhaps cruelly, said: “Who judged this? Stevie Wonder?”»
Well, aren’t we all aware of a most beautiful thing called «British Humour»? And if so, what does it tell us? Well, there we go because we think that this is an outstanding masterpiece of British Humour!
And this very special British Humour continues: David James Glendon, who successfully pipped 782 other entrants, may attend the Academy Award Ceremony in late February this very same year in Hollywood! We wouldn’t wonder if he’s going to become the next James Bond.
David! Our warmest congrats! Very well done!

AT&T Archives: «Robot»
9 Feb«Jim Henson made this film in 1963 for The Bell System. Specifically, it was made for an elite seminar given for business owners, on the then-brand-new topic — Data Communications. The seminar itself involved a lot of films and multimedia presentations, and took place in Chicago. A lengthy description of the planning of the Bell Data Communications Seminar — without a mention of the Henson involvement — is on the blog of Inpro co-founder Jack Byrne. It later was renamed the Bell Business Communications Seminar.
The organizers of the seminar, Inpro, actually set the tone for the film in a three-page memo from one of Inpro’s principals, Ted Mills to Henson. Mills outlined the nascent, but growing relationship between man and machine: a relationship not without tension and resentment: “He [the robot] is sure that All Men Basically Want to Play Golf, and not run businesses — if he can do it better.” (Mills also later designed the ride for the Bell System at the 1964 World’s Fair.) Henson’s execution is not only true to Mills’ vision, but he also puts his own unique, irreverent spin on the material.
The robot narrator used in this film had previously starred in a skit for a food fair in Germany (video is silent), in 1961. It also may be the same robot that appeared on the Mike Douglas Show in 1966. Henson created a different — but similar — robot for the SKF Industries pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair.
Henson created another film for the Seminar entitled Charlie Magnetico, which features the same robot, but also stars Henson collaborator Jerry Juhl.
This film was found in the AT&T Archives. Thanks go to Karen Falk of the Henson Archives for providing help and supporting documentation to prove that it was, indeed, a Henson production.»

Rare Exports: «Hunting Santa Claus»
17 DecDieses irre Filmchen ist beinahe schon ein YouTubeKlassiker. Vom großen Erfolg ob ihrer Story über das illegale Schmuggeln von Weihnachtsmännern beflügelt brachte das Produktionsteam Ende 2010 sogar einen kompletten Kinofilm an den Start, womit die beiden schönen Urfilmchen aus dem Netz und von der YouTubePlattform verschwanden.
Vor einigen Tagen lud ein Wagemutiger den ersten der beiden Teile nochmal – leider mit schlechter Tonspur und spanischen Untertiteln – hoch. So sehet, staunet und erinnert Euch – solange der Streifen noch dort steht wo er jetzt steht…
Eine ausführliche Besprechung gibt es hier zu lesen.

«Go And Make Your Call!»
3 DecWir hatten im Meerschweinchenreport schon mal die Geschichte einer Frau, die der Gefängnisleitung jener Justizvollzugsanstalt, in dem ihr Mann einsaß, gefälschte Entlassungspapiere zufaxte – und er daraufhin tatsächlich entlassen wurde. Gleich zweimal gelang ihr dieser Coup.
Dieser junge Mann geht gleich einen Schritt weiter bzw. zurück, und klärt die Situation mittels eines einzigen Telefonates. Ganz nach der Devise: Schmiede Dein Eisen solange es heiß ist. Ein irres Filmchen.

Performed by Dan Oster

Zeitmaschinengeistesblitz
21 NovWas wäre, wenn H.G. Wells in seinem Werk «Die Zeitmaschine» die Morlocks etwas verklausuliert als nichts anderes als Arbeitgeber darstellt, die danach trachten, Ihre Arbeitstiere Elois mittels Wecker und Signalton dahingehend soo zu paralysieren, daß sie millionenfach tagtäglich in die hungrigen Mäuler von Bahnhofseingangstoren einfahren, um sich am Arbeitsplatz den zermalmenden Geräuschen hochmoderner IBM-Kugelkopfschreibmaschinen unterwürfig hinzugeben? Wäre diese Erkenntnis dann der Grundstein zur kommenden Weltrevolution? Wäre ja mal ganz uninteressant, dieses in Erfahrung zu bringen.
