Agree that Naomi is wonderful, have read the bool and watched the documentary....is it not a smaller part of the the whole?...I think you may like Alan Watt "Cutting through the Matrix"..on itunes or website, read Tragedy and Hope if you have the chance, Carrol Quigley, historian for CFR.....It has been a very difficult year

The Art of Failure is an interesting look at Chuck Connelly's life and work. The East Oak Lane neighborhood in Philly is like another character in the documentary; I lived in this neighborhood for a number of years, I reckon, maybe only a few blocks from where Connelly lives. If my head was in the right place, I would have loved to play the role of Fred Scaboda---I think I could have pulled it off.broken mirror, white terror

I watched whatever was available of 1972 Rolling Stones doc Cocksucker Blues at last, today. It was better than Shine a Light, that's for sure...kinda tedious watch, if anything I think it gives a good portrayal of the massive boredom that surrounds a rock star's life when he's not on stage. Whole thing is like watching a blurry trip.

For some reason it came up in conversation yesterday that I had seen the movie "Zoo" at the IFC a few years ago, a documentary about a man who was literally fucked to death by a horse.
There's no graphic depictions and in fact I found the movie rather hypnotic and oddly soothing as it mostly consisted of slow moving shots of wide open country overlayed with the audio from interviews of friends/participants of the man who died recounting the story. I thought this juxtaposition was rather artful and allowed the story to be told without judgement.
