Bringing Out The Dead

Written by Matt Zoller Seitz on October 26, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

Taxis & Ambulances Bringing Out the Dead, a comedy about paramedics in Hell’s Kitchen, resembles Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver in a number ways, and Scorsese doesn’t seem to mind.

Reiner vs. Kubrick

Written by Armond White on October 26, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

Reiner v. Kubrick Eyes Wide Shut is the movie that most embarrasses film critics this year. It not only cost a leading daily reviewer her job (if you listen to the right inside dope) but hardly anyone who reviewed it got it right–not even the blurb whores. That’s mostly because our hype crisis has made

The City(La Ciudad)

Written by Godfrey Cheshire on October 26, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

The City directed by David Riker For most of these Spanish-speaking new arrivals, we (virtually everyone reading this paper) are the omnipresent Other. For us, they are–if we deign to notice them. You can’t help thinking of this invisible divide as you watch Riker’s fascinating film, which estranges us from New York even as it

Rock’n'Roll Frankenstein Invades Europe

Written by Brian O’Hara on October 26, 1999. Posted in Arts & Film, Posts

I’m the writer/director of a "controversial" movie called Rock ’n’ Roll Frankenstein. I’ve had to sponsor my own grassroots screenings because it couldn’t get into any worthwhile film festivals. It seems the types who run these fests (at least in the USA) are a bunch of prissy little fuckos, or cinephiles if you prefer–especially those

Why Did Augustine Really Hate Sex?

Written by Douglas Davis on October 19, 1999. Posted in Books, Posts

Behold the "vital fire" [male erection] which does not obey the soul’s decision, but, for the most part, rises up against the soul’s desire in disorderly and ugly movements…. –St. Augustine, "Contra Julianum," c. 429 AD We must conclude that a husband is meant to rule over his wife as the spirit rules the flesh.
