Straight to Hell 1987
This is not a good movie however it does touch on the fact that Joe Strummer was gorgeous & Shane MacGowan was very ugly & Courtney Love was neither. Also that a desert is not a good backdrop for British people. Being that unintelligible in a place as clear cut as the desert is just asking for it like existentially.

SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) 2025
As a documentary? Idk. As an exhibition of Sly Stone’s music & genius? Wonderful.

Made me excited to revisit the family Stone & listen to some of his less known works.

Blue Velvet 1986
Watched this again last night. Remembering that the Roy Orbison “in dreams” sequences caused Bono, after U2 watched Blue Velvet in a hotel room late at night on tour, to produce Roy Orbison’s last ever album despite Roy’s career being in deep and tragic decline. David Lynch could draw out the best in everyone, even Bono.

Stalker 1979
Watched this, had an anxiety attack & cried for the first time in 18 months which consisted of 2 alien sounding sobs that went nowhere. The world is so beautiful & who knows how much longer I can watch it die. I loved every blade of grass & hair & tile. Maybe the art will kill me like this movie did to Tarkovsky. Maybe it will be the grief. Either way, may we all go softly carried by our unhappiness.
