I look at the world and I see absurdity all around me. People do strange things constantly, to the point that, for the most part, we manage not to see it. That's why I love coffee shops and public places – I mean, they're all out there.

cinemad

In 1999, while living in a small desert town in Arizona, projectionist and film nut Mike Plante printed the first issue of a staple-bound zine called Cinemad. It was an era before social media, before torrenting; frustrated by the lack of information about the rare films he loved, Plante thought that starting a DIY publication would allow him to communicate with filmmakers and maybe get a few screeners in the mail. But Cinemad ranged far beyond the horizons of any typical fanboy outlook. In the xeroxed pages of its six print issues, Cinemad corralled a sprawling array of topics, organized by Plante’s own obsessions with fringe Hollywood, obscure independents, canonical avant-gardists and a new generation of experimental filmmakers. In any given issue, readers might encounter interviews with Haskell Wexler or Karen Black, Jonathan Rosenbaum or Charles Burnett, Miranda July or Jem Cohen, alongside accounts of people who lived in movie theaters, appreciations of recognizable but unnameable character actors, profiles of porn editors and stuntmen, reviews of bizarre television, and of course the occasional screed. “Just for the record, I talk about films you’ve never heard of because I can’t find them in other magazines and want to know more, forcing myself to search,” Plante ranted in his introduction to issue five. “I do my best, but when I get a crown on my tooth and then go to Mexico for a punk rock show and drag my ass home at 4:30 am, the next morning’s writing is probably gonna suffer.”

Riding the last big wave of the zine distribution era, Cinemad reached hundreds of bookstores worldwide before being reinvented as an online publication in 2003 and later transforming into a podcast. Plante began hosting screenings of the filmmakers he wrote about, eventually moving to Los Angeles, becoming a programmer for Sundance, and directing films of his own. Now, for the 20th anniversary of its debut, Plante has assembled a survey of the magazine’s rambunctious early years and subsequent evolution. A revelatory transmission from cinema’s outer limits at the turn of the millennium, his illustrated talk will be accompanied by original audio interviews as well as a screening of choice works that circled through Cinemad’s orbit: a new restoration of LA legend Nina Menkes’ first film, A Soft Warrior (1981), the flickering melancholy of Naomi Uman’s Private Movie (2000), Stom Sogo’s mind-bending transmedia memoir Periodical Effect (2002), Stephanie Barber’s cryptic, participatory Total Power, dead dead dead (2005), Bobcat Goldthwait’s home movies, and a gambling lesson from Orson Welles.  bye.

Saw #Joker. It is DARK. Think Network as a comic book movie. Freakily relevant to right now. Nicely twisty though familiar too. Joaquin makes the thing - we’re gonna have MANY convos about this flick. #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/pcgx1J1UyD

never heard of him before he died. and sick of hearing bout the guy now that he's dead. 

the media literally washing our brains with everything they want. so ridiculous. and annoying.

bye.

They're throwing more tomatoes at us. Lord have mercy.

mind over. matter.

 It is the force fundamental that actually initializes your telekinetic powers. You need to have an emotion and intensify it and finally channelize yourself via the mind's eye. 

The Pendulum:  

Use a pendulum and try to swing it without touching it. It requires your mind to become one with the pendulum. So, you must find a pendulum that is right for you. When you learn how to hold and use it properly you should be able to find lost things and search for answers. Remember, it's all in the mind.

Sample Exercise

Take a smooth pen and place it on a table where there is no perturbation. Try moving it just by thought. Once it moves, try stopping it the same way. Thank you. bye.

Portugal, No Name: Number 6438

The grave of artist Soledad Miranda in Portugal, with NO NAME and only a numerical marking:(  Due to conflicts between Portugal and Spain governments, Soledad's family (including her son Tony) have been unable to get her name placed on her grave in Portugal. Soledad died in a car crash at the age of 27, yet her films, music (and soul) remain living inside of the body of a plethora of work she left behind. RIP Soledad.  #neverforgotten

BREXIT to shut down Parliament

Sign of our (NY)Times

Sept 9th - Our Senate returns back to session. Back to work.

Fingers are crossed that all furniture desks, tables and chairs have been aptly fumigated for bedbugs.

#NYTIMESbedbugsinfestation

#yajustcan'tmakethisshitup

How long does a bed bug bomb last? The amount of time that the permethrin itself lasts depends on the concentration level that your bed bug bomb contains. Most contain 0.5% permethrin, which is more than enough to kill an insect, but typically not enough to hurt you. At 0.5% permethrin, traces will remain for up to six weeks. bye.

A film is made in somebody's head - out of their determination to do it at all. When you're editing, you're putting it together in a way that makes sense metaphysically. You're not inventing it, but you're finding the story that's there. You're making a play that's eventually going to go on stage and present itself to an audience. You want to show what happened, not exactly what you have evidence of happening. People don't really want reality. They want theater, and that's different.
