Final NYFF Short
Jamie Stuart again grapples with existential conundrums, an unfaithful (or at the very least weak and malleable) woman, phantom creeps on the street and other stuff that feels a little too poised and over-considered. Sooner or later all artists accept the fact that an orange is an orange is an orange.
And oh yeah, Wrestler star Mickey Rourke talking about his movie-career detour is cut into all this.
Here's a flattering assessment of Stuart and his work by the Washington Post's Ann Hornaday, posted yesterday.
I love the brief Mac screen shot of an entry or password code: "CRM-114." You are not a true film person unless you know what CRM-114 means -- what film it's from, what its function was, who first mentions it, etc.

Well it's from strangelove, but I only remembered it because I watched the movie again on a whim about a 6 months ago. I think that is a pretty obscure reference though... more of something for super duper uber nerds than just nerds...
Wasn't it slim pickens that destroyed it on the plane? It was part of the radio system to insure that radio signals to the american planes were secure and accurate I think.

Well, shit, guess I have to burn the 600 DVDS, smash the laserdisc player and burn my Encyclopedia of Film because I didn't get a Kubrician reference.
Wonder if Jeff would get "Orange Whip? Orange Whip?"

Trivia sidenote for bonus points: In "A Clockwork Orange," Alex is given Serum 114 as part of the Ludivico Technique.

I think this particular Stuart was weaker than normal. All the talk makes it kind of boring. And I really don't know where he's going with it. I miss the abstract musings on NYFF.
So I just googled my way back to last year's brilliant episode #2. I can re-watch that one 10 times. Easily.
