About Me

The eternal adolescent, suspended naked in the oratory of the Tower of Meditation.

Then insulted to his liking by the memory, though explored in full by the oblivion, his palm already moisting by the ingenious agitation, the young boy cried:
" You who have failed to nourish yourself with the virgin milk of a sorceress, drink a bitch’s seeds from the phallus of a play actress!" He shuddered, stripped of his veils. Ha! It’s done Sir Jacques!"
Gushing from under his palm, the seed, clouding the diamond ring on his finger, fell into the memory’s gaping mouth.

Xavier Dolan is a comer I think and worth following. Getting Canadian films on DVD is a problem.

    For emergency housing it is ideal I would think but I wonder about long term durability as it is very similar to Dryvit which is insulation covered by a thin coating of stucco reinforced by fiberglass. It is durable but at ground level prone to damage.

    The problem with a dome structure it is very inefficient as it was tried by hippies during the sixties and found that there is little useful space. More a stunt than a breakthrough.

I do like it, the Le Corbusier house, the Styrofoam comment I meant as a construction material in general, not in relation to that particular building. Here in the Caribbean Styrofoam has been used in houses. The Le C comment meant that even something built out of necessity and utilitarian reasons and rejected by some upon its creation can become an expensive art object given enough time. Da market….

    I assume the Styrofoam is used for insulation as it has no structural value. In LA the homes designed by Rudolph Schindler have been progressively demolished as they are too small for the supposed needs of contemporary Americans. But the US has always been spendthrift nation destroying quality for the current buzz fads. We have not managed to produce a culture of worth I I don't thing we ever will.

    I invested $20 in this awhile ago. I think I was under the impression I would get a CD. But not long ago I got an email from him wanting a lot in information about me--name etc--as he would put it on the credits.but I was leery of that and didn't respond. I am not that much of a fan tho' El Topo had its moments. He said he regretted parading Brontis around nude but I thought it gave the film some gravity in a weird way. I asked Brontis what he thought about it but he did' respond.

    I really like his films (FANDO AND LIS being my fave) but take everything else with a pinch of salt.
