So, I’m half watching the olympics. and from down the hall, I hear this music coming from my television. I come running out, and realize that Capellini and Lanotte are figure skating to this piece of music. I understand that a lot of people’s familiarity with this piece of music begins and ends with the LOTR trailer, but for those ignorant sods, I want to splice the creepy old guy cheering “ass to ass” and Jared Leto shooting up in his infected arm into their happy olympic montage.


sometimes I hate being an American.
I watched this earlier tonight ondemand because I love “Mysterious Skin” and I hadn’t seen any other Gregg Araki movies besides half-watching “The Doom Generation” on IFC or somewhere once and also because I realized if I actually watched “Josie and the Pussycats” in its entirety like I’d originally planned to I would probably feel like I’d wasted 90 minutes.
Is this a great movie or a terrible movie?? Or both?? I can’t decide. I feel like I’ve been violently gang raped by the 90s.
I love this movie.
It’s great because it’s terrible! Definitely one of my all-time favorite cult films.
1-800-GO-JE$U$!!!!!!!!!
I have to agree with the so-terrible-it’s-great. I haven’t seen this movie in years, and netflix has no knowledge of it whatsoever. The way 90’s teen heartthrobs pop in and out of this movie, it’s another “A Few Good Men” hub in 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon for a younger generation.
“In a study published last year, Professor Martha Lauzen of San Diego State University found that only 9% of Hollywood directors in 2008 were women – the same figure she had recorded in 1998.
… Bigelow’s [nomination] for the best directing Oscar in March [is] only the fourth time a woman has been nominated, out of more than 400 director nominations altogether (the other three were Lina Wertmüller in 1976, Jane Campion in 1993, and Sofia Coppola in 2003). No woman has ever won.”
Why are there so few female film-makers?
Worst glass ceiling in the universe. As someone who went to film school, it’s hard to explain exactly how the bias against female directors works out in real life. It’s just … there. You can be anything else — a screenwriter, an editor, a DP — but heaven forbid you want to direct. People won’t laugh in your face when you tell them of your aspirations, but they might snigger behind your back.
