What's Disgusting About The Dirty

Movies That Are Consciously Life-affirming Are To Be Consciously Avoided.

Good Movies Make You Care, Make You Believe In Possibilities Again. If Somewhere In The Hollywood-entertainment World Someone Has Managed To Break Through With Something That Speaks To You, Then It Isn’t All Corruption. The Movie Doesn’t Have To Be Great; It Can Be Stupid And Empty And You Can Still Have The Joy Of A Good Performance, Or The Joy In Just A Good Line. An Actor’s Scowl, A Small Subversive Gesture, A Dirty Remark That Someone Tosses Off With A Mock-innocent Face, And The World Makes A Little Bit Of Sense.

Economy, Speed, Nervousness, And Desperation Produce The Final Wasteful, Semi-incoherent Movies We See.

Being Creative Is Having Something To Sell, Or Knowing How To Sell Something, Or Having Sold Something. It Has Taken Over What We Used To Mean By Being "wised Up" Knowing The Tricks, The Shortcuts.

Picasso Has A Volatile, Explosive Presence. He Seems To Take Art Back To An Earlier Function, Before The Centuries Of Museums And Masterpieces; He Is The Artist As Clown, As Conjurer, As Master Funmaker.
