This is a fantastic bit of urban camouflage, if you ask me. More here, here, and here. You can buy prints of his work here.

The Museum of Bad Art

If it's true that great art is memorable, then this is one of the greatest pieces I have ever seen.

The Museum of Bad Art is a noble institution "dedicated to collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms." This is by far one of the worst pieces of art I have ever seen. The colors of these two faces are burned indelibly into my brain.

The whole collection is worth perusing at your leisure. It's not very big (30 something pieces), so you can get through it pretty quickly. And I strongly strongly suggest that you do.

It's interesting. It's thought-provoking. It's a nice contrast to great art. But most of all, it's really, really, really bad. And that's what makes it so good.

I promise that the reality of the full image is much cuter than my deliberately misleading crop. Once you've looked at the previous link, be sure to see the original site too.

Kelly's Heroes

|
200px-Kelly's_Heroes_movie.jpgKelly's Heroes is the best movie of the 20th century. Woof woof woof. I'm not kidding it really is.

The cast features:

  • Donald Sutherland
  • Clint Eastwood (bumped into him once, but that's another story)
  • Telly Savalas
  • Don Rickles
  • Carroll O'Connor
  • Harry Dean Stanton
  • Gavin MacLeod
All that and a toe-tapping main theme. Your basic WW II comedy-action-bank heist-buddy-road picture. 


Six different ways to say "Dylan"

|

I surely can't be the only one to be simultaneously both confused and amazed by I'm not There -- the bio-pic wrapped in a metaphorical surrounded by in-jokes of Bob Dylan in which six different people play various aspects of his life, personality, and topics.  The best moments for me were all about Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Dylan.  Yes, Galadriel the Elf Queen as Dylan. Example: Dylan hanging out with Allen Ginsburg, and screaming up at a statue of Jesus on the cross "I liked your early work better." Everything -- the dialog, the names, the props, characters, sets and of course music point back to Dylan's life and songs. You'll go crazy trying to figure it all out. My advice: go see the film, and turn off your mind and keep your toes tapping. Then come home and read about Dylan in Wikipedia.
