Who ya gonna call?

Today I learned that actor/SNL comedian Bill Murray was only cast in GHOSTBUSTERS because an immediate replacement was needed for actor/SNL comedian John Belushi who had died unexpectedly of a drug overdose. Not sure who would have been a better Dr. Venkman. It’s so weird to consider, because they both appear to be so perfectly cast for the part of Venkman despite both actors being so different in so many ways. 

bye.

24-Hour LIVESTREAM of HIJACK!

24-Hour 'UNCURATED' HIJACK! FILM SUBMISSIONS 2017-2019

JULY 3rd - July 4th

24-HOUR  Midnight to Midnight

FREE Livestream link: https://millenniumfilm.org/workshop-channel/

Hijack! was a makeshift theatre that existed from March 2017-March 2020. Hijack! operated as a free-admission DIY space that exhibited experimental films, outsider art, public readings, live performances, abstract visual ideas, and sound art submissions from all around the world. Hijack! was inspired by the deceased Lower East Side East 4^th street model of The Millennium Film Workshop’s experimental filmmaker ‘OPEN SCREENINGS’ series. Hijack! opted to ‘hijack’ the idea of open screening public exhibitions and expanded the idea by seeking international submissions using Social Media in order to exhibit a larger diversity of work. Hijack! presented such things as Instagram videos, cellphone experiments, rejected film festival submissions, unfinished videos, works-in-progress and any form of art made by individuals of the Outsider community- without curation, prejudice or judgement. Due the Coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 and subsequent closing of public gathering spaces, Hijack! was forced dormant. As Coronavirus vaccines have arrived in 2021 and life ‘as we know it’ has begun to fall back into normalcy Hijack! was found depressed and affected by the unprecedented feelings of a never-ending pandemic shutdown. It has been reported that Hijack! was found dead, but Hijack!’s body (of submissions) from 2017-2019 survived. An autopsy will be conducted by the NYC Coroners Office and is now officially scheduled to take place on July 3^rd for 24 uninterrupted hours, and will be livestreamed. The life of Hijack! will be honored and laid to rest at the online stream morgue with illegal fireworks to follow on July 4^th.   RIP HIJACK!

Bela Lugosi's Dead

White on white translucent black capes

Back on the back

Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box

Bela Lugosi's dead
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
Undead undead undead

The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count

Bela Lugosi's dead
Bela Lugosi's dead
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
Undead undead undead
Undead

Oh Bela
Bela's undead
Oh Bela
Bela's undead

Bela's undead
Oh Bela

Weird as Car Crash Kills and Gone Is This Girl.

 

Right about the same exact time that I was watching the movie 'GONE GIRL', one of the lead actresses in that movie was hit and killed by a car in New York City (not to far away from me) as she was crossing the street on her way to have dinner. She was hungry. I don't know what this means, except that I won't plan on watching that movie again tonight. I promise. I'd like to spare other 'starving' actors their right to find work as the pandemic comes to an END ...

A Room of One's Own

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.” ― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

Amazing Amy.

Watchin’ Fincher’s ‘GONE GIRL’ and reminded again of just how good this film is. Casting, score, mood, screenplay- the whole thang is cinematic craftsmanship at its best. And, as I get past the opening credits I have noted that actress Reese Witherspoon helped produce the movie... Nice!  Bye.  #hellhathnofurylikeawomanscorned  #BenifferisBack
