a kind of flashback to the old variety programs like the Ed Sullivan Show, The Andy Williams Show, The Dinah Shore Show.

David Bailey
16 03 2015Looking back. We were all part of it. Vanity. We kept looking into store windows to check ourselves out. We weren’t trying on new clothes. We were trying on new looks. David Bailey photographed many of those people who made up the privileged vanes. (As opposed to my friends and I who were middle-class vanes.) It was fun. But I wonder how many of those people survived that adulation. It killed a lot of them. John Lennon was one of the few who wrote and talked about it. But its like a fly in a spider web. No matter how much you try you never seem to get yourself out of it.

Making Movies
23 02 2015While living in Belgium I watched a lot of British television. There are a lot of documentary shows on different film directors. I decided to create my own documentary about a fictional Canadian director and a company of players.
The documentary was divided amongst a number of films the group created together. Each film was a long poem written down the left side of the page, and the comments of the participants on the right. The comments were not just about the movie in question but about the relationships inside the group.
The book is not a novel, in the conventional format. It is not a long poem in the conventional sense. Most of the reviews were very positive, but the first review was from The Globe and Mail. The reviewer said, ‘this is not how movies are made’. I think all he read was the title. It did kill the book though, although the reviewer in question is now dead, so I suppose the scales are balanced.
The book went ‘e’ a few years ago and received a number of awards, which I somehow have misplaced. Also, all the printed books were lost in the flood of 2013. I might add that there was some talk during publication of making an actual movie based on the book. Of course in true Hollywood tradition, that was mostly hype.
Have a read. Making Movies.

Terrorism on tour…

Isis has taken advantage of our television/internet networks move to make NEWS entertainment. Its not the coverage of the event that bothers me as it is the constant yammering on CNN, FOX, etc. They treat everything like a football highlight.
