p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Bernard was telling me about Sondheim's Bunuel mashup. Wow. I saw 'Ken Death Gets Out of Jail'. Huh. If memory serves, having seen the film, I'm not entirely surprised that he relapsed. Iceberg Slim: Now there's a terrific writer whom I should really read again/anew. ** James, Hi. Yeah, really sad about Ingrid Sischy. To me, it's her era editing Artforum that's the touchstone. She did important things there. I started writing for them just before she left, so I got to interact with her a bit, and she was great, a trip. No, I don't have a 'perfect man' thing about Pierre Clementi. He looks great, for sure, but it's his performances, choices, artistic daring, the films he directed, etc. that are what most make him a hero to me. 'EA' is very well worth bumping up in your queue. ** Douglas Payne, Hi. I wrote to you minutes ago. Sure hope you get it. Let me know what's best, assuming you do. I like Almodovar's films pretty well. He's not a particular favorite director of mine, which is just a taste thing, I guess, but I almost always like what he does. Are you big on his work? ** Bernard Welt, Hi, B. Well, no, thank you. Where would that post be ... or, heck, where would I, human, be without you? ** Bill, Hi. Bernard seems like he's having plenty of fun, at least from the peanut gallery of my perceptions. Cool about the gig incorporating 'Flush'. Too cute? You have some dour collaborators there, man, ha ha. ** Misanthrope, Hi. In my personal opinion, Bunuel made a lot of films that are a lot greater than 'An Andalusian Dog'. But, heck, is it even possible to grow up and take even one simple film class in school without seeing that? Which is cool. I don't know about Brent's current state of mind, of course, but the couple of people who interacted with him at the Tom of Finland thing said he was a complicated sweetheart. I keep telling myself, and I really need to do it asap, that I should put together a professional, detailed will for mostly the very reason that, if I don't leave instructions about my work, and if I don't delegate someone to make the decisions about my stuff, the power and control will automatically go to someone in family, and my immediate family, barring Cody, don't like or even know my writing at all, so that would make for a complete disaster. In other words, yeah, I know I need to do that, and I have to get off my ass and do it. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Cool. Thank you so much for sending the post! I'll go look for it and get back to you. It sounds totally great. Kippenberger! ** Steevee, Hi. Vimeo in particular doesn't work? Something to do with their ... formatting? Fingers crossed about the upgrade. No thoughts of getting yourself a new laptop or something? ** H, Hi. No, I haven't received any emails. I don't what happened. But group participation things here haven't worked very well for a while, which is why I stopped doing them. I'm putting together your guest-post, and I will let you know when it will appear soon. Thank you! Well, let's try with the G. Schneider thing and see what happens because ... why not? Everyone, d.l. H, not dissuaded by your lack of interest in the offer of books the other day, has another offer. Please give H your eyes and ears, thank you. H: 'But if anyone interested in Gregor Schneider moca catalogue in a very good to like new condition, I will trade it with similar conditioned eve sedgwick between men, or Derek Jarman sketchbooks, or something else. Thank you. Interested person just email me to uncoeurblanc @ g m a i l. com. Thank you very much about the rare book! ** Damien Ark, Hi, Damien. I saw your email in my box this morning, but I was in post-sleep, pre-coffee delirium at the time, and I will open and read it soon. Hope you're having a good day with, and even without, your own projects. ** Sypha, Very nice Bunuel anecdote, thank you. I still haven't tested 'Sugar', but the day is young. ** Etc etc etc, Hi, Casey. The new literary gif book comes out on September 10th. Yeah, like with 'ZHH', it will be published by Kiddiepunk, download or online viewing only, free of charge. It's called 'Zac's Control Panel', and it consists of 7 short-to-semu-short gif works. Thank you so very much for wanting to write something about it. That's super kind of you, man. ** Right. I regret to inform most of you, ha ha, that today I'm sharing a new gif work by me. It's Zac's birthday today, and the work up above is one of my b'day gifts to him, but it's also for everybody out there who's interested in my gif work too, of course. You know who you are. Until tomorrow ...
