Barry Munday

Patrick Wilson doesn't have any balls, literally. In Hard Candy Patrick Wilson's character was almost castrated by a 14 year old girl. In his new film he actually does. Featuring Chloë Sevigny, Malcolm McDowell, and apparently some Vampire Weekend. Based on the novel "Life is a Strange Place" by Frank Turner Hollon.

New Ariel Pink

Lo-fi that actually doesn't sound so lo-fi anymore.

I had the opportunity to see Ariel Pink last year in New Orleans with Vivian Girls. It was a pretty amazing and fun experience to see him live, as well as to see him wearing blue Ugg boots.

Gummo

I recently watched Gummo again. I usually try to watch this movie at least once or twice a year. I like seeing it from different perspectives in my life. I also enjoy watching it with people who have never seen it before, much to their dismay. For me this movie changed my whole view on film and what a movie could be. The first time I saw it I was about fifteen. I had never seen anything like it. I had never felt so disgusted, dirty or depraved while watching a movie. Those sort of feeling stick with you. Of course this led me to different films by Harmony Korine, which ultimately led me to Werner Herzog and so on. After watching the film I like to put on the interview included as a bonus feature on the dvd. I find it essential to watch after viewing the film as an insight into what sort of mind frame Korine was in while making the film, or lack thereof, and what he was trying to portray to the audience.

Welcome To The Monkey House

I come home after going out to get some food with my girlfriend. I wasn’t gone for more than fifteen or twenty minutes. I walk into the kitchen to make a couple rum and cokes for us. The kitchen is occupied with a few of my dad’s “friends” and of course his intelligent, beautiful, and thoughtful pregnant girlfriend (all sarcasm excluding the preggo part) eating dinner, as I generally avoid eating dinner with all of them. As I walk in everyone is staring at me. I’m sure I dished out a classic “what the fuck are you looking at?” grin as seasoning onto what I can only imagine is a disgusting entrée of attempted cooking brought to them by my dad’s girlfriend. God help me. Almost immediately, as expected, Preggo opens her mouth first.
“Kayla is drunk,” she said. Kayla is the sixteen month love child produced not so much out of love but through maliciousness, cigarette smoke, and lack of birth control.
“What?” I asked and laughed at the same time.
“She went into your room and drank some left over rum and coke you had in there,” she said, and as a side note her voice is a cross between a jersey shore girl and an extra from Fargo.
“Well how did that happen?” I asked, slightly intrigued.
“She just like walked in there and drunk it,” she said gracefully with a mouth that I’m pretty sure was filled with a steak and mashed potato combo.
“Yeah, because you weren’t watching her. You never watch her,” I said and expected some sort of an applause that never came.
“Josh! She’s sixteen months, you can’t expect me to keep track of her all the time,” she said and I paused to let the ridiculousness of that sentence settle. It settled about as good as that meal will. I took my drinks and walked away.
