Toy Story 2, Wisconsin Death Trip, Beyond the Clouds, End of Days

Written by Armond White on December 7, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

Every child is a bourgeois child–and every adult, too. No dream or ambition has gone un-commodified, thus all desire gets bizarrely validated. This is the damnable truth of late capitalism realized by Toy Story 2–the year’s most sheerly delightful Hollywood film. I can come out and say that having registered my resistance to the first

Soul Coughing Comes to Dirty Danny’s Defense

Written by Adam Heimlich on December 7, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

true to my nature to neglect to remind readers that the Festival of Lights is not even a real Jewish holy day (too new), and that candles to compete with Christmas is a lame American invention. It doesn’t take an intensive study in comparative religion to figure out that decorating a tree is more fun

Wisconsin Death Trip Wisconsin Death Trip directed by …

Written by Jim Knipfel on December 7, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

When Michael Lesy’s thesis-turned-cult classic Wisconsin Death Trip was published in 1973, it was quite unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. It doesn’t sound like much–just a collection of old photographs taken around Black River Falls, WI, between 1885 and 1899–coupled with news clippings from the local paper. But the photographs–of farmers, uncomfortable-looking families,

Arthur Miller’s Moralizing

Written by Jonathan Kalb on December 7, 1999. Posted in Posts, Theater

I’ve always been grateful to this production, both for its own beauties and for introducing me at last to a Miller work that I could genuinely like. Miller’s major plays invariably move me, but after carrying me along on their carefully arranged emotional journeys, they just as inevitably let me down. As soon as my

Beyond Beyond The Clouds Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni …

Written by Godfrey Cheshire on December 7, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

Media reality being as daunting as it is at the moment, let us transfer a few of its perplexities to a science fiction story. The premise, scary but marvelous: The planet of cinema has exploded. Left behind are rock-like chunks of significance (films, filmmakers, etc.: each like a Web site) and a fleet of rusty,
