I have added a couple new paragraphs to THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES and am considering scrapping a couple others (I'd deeply hate to lose the French Existentialist Blow Job, but I fear it just doesn't work in this context). In any case, the opening is stronger, and I think the whole show is now going to get a serious infusion of neurotic energy. Hopefully this will be a good thing.
The Brand-New Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Music Video is utterly 70's-tastic! I keep waiting for a bearded, coked-out Scorscese to pop out at any second.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fishymcb described the video as hypnotic, adding, "I would kill for him if he asked me to."
I just marvel at how gloriously hideous Nick has become. I mean, he was never a handsome man, but keeping the long hair with the badly-thinning top and capping it off with the (ironic?) 'stache, I couldn't help but think that he's turning into a combination of a Tarantino character and Hector Savage from THE NAKED GUN 2 ½: THE SMELL OF FEAR.
Regardless, Nick Cave could look like the bastard child of Bea Arthur and Steve Buscemi, for all I care, he'd still be awesome. I'm totally on a Nick Cave music kick, buying up a new album of their every couple weeks. This is significant because I rarely, rarely get into new bands these days. I've pretty well settled into my stubborn-old-man music tastes and can't relate to you kids today with your Panic at the Disco and your Hannah Montana.
But I'm totally and thoroughly digging Nick Cave and the Bad seeds, even more thanks to their wonderful videos. "Henry Lee" with PJ Harvey--whom I didn't care for until I saw this--is beautiful and sensual in a drunken heroin-addict kind of way, and one of my all-time favorite music videos.
Cave is furthermore awesome because he wrote THE PROPOSITION. Have you all seen THE PROPOSITION? What a great goddamn movie, an Austrailian western with Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Emily Watson (already well on her way to becoming an adorable old woman), and David Thewlis, looking delightfully rodent-like.
Throw THE PROPOSITION on the list of movies to show people who claim to hate westerns. It's bloody excellent.
Now I'm tempted to follow it up with SERAPHIM FALLS, an Irish western with Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan. I've heard it's not bad, but by all accounts, nowhere near as good as the Aussies' THE PROPOSITION. Which y'all should see. Like, now. Please.
