In an interview conducted in 2002, Bergman brought up Antonioni when speaking about the new films he was seeing in the local cinema on Faro, the island he lived on.

Godard appearance in Rivette's first feature For more clips like this, and a most enjoyable guide to pop culture, visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here: www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com Uncle Jean appears as a flirtatious cafe-dwelling source of information in Jacques Rivette's terrific "Paris Belongs to Us" (1961). Apologies for the white-on-white subtitles (still used to this day by some distributors, you gotta wonder why), but you can see the picture more clearly if you use the "full-screen" mode on this site (which few people bother to do, but it is there!). We hope that Monsieur Rivette's work from the earliest shorts through the late 1970s get official releases in the U.S. very soon — it's too much phenomenal work to be sitting in the void of non-distribution.

RIP, Mickey Spillane For more clips like this, and a most enjoyable guide to pop culture, visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here: www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com The last of the great tough-guy writers is gone. Mickey Spillane possessed none of the elegance of Chandler or Hammett, none of the plotting skills of James M. Cain, none of the demented genius that drove the Big Three Noir Gods (Woolrich, Thompson, and Goodis), but he sure wrote a damned good yarn. And his prose was addictive, no two ways about it. You could scoff at a sentence like "The sky burped and burped, and then threw up, and a new day began." (The Erection Set, which had an awesome early '70s babe-photo cover.) But there was no mistaking this kind of machine-gun prose: The roar of the .45 shook the room., Charlotte staggered back a step. Her eyes were a symphony of incredulity, an unbelieving witness to the truth. Slowly, she looked down at the ugly swelling in her naked belly where the bullet went in. A thin trickle of blood welled out.... Her eyes had pain in them now, the pain preceding death. Pain and unbelief. "How could you?" she gasped. I only had a moment before talking to a corpse, but I got it in. "It was easy," I said. That was the end of his 1947 novel I, The Jury, the first of his Mike Hammer novels. Perhaps the Mick learned his trade all too well while toiling at Timely Comics (the company that eventually wound up being Marvel) -- whatever it was, he had the gift of machine-gun rat-a-tat-tatting out long crazy, discursive sentences that drew you in, no matter how much you resisted. Mike Hammer's friends and lovers all wound up dead (the reason Mike plugs the gal in the above passage is because she did in an old buddy of his); years before Ian Fleming kept disposing of James Bond's girlfriends, Spillane's readers always knew anyone who showed any affection for Mike -- outside of a stray newspaper dealer, cabbie, Pat Chambers the stock police detective, and the faithful secretary to end all faithful secretaries, Velda -- had to wind up dying a grisly death for which Mike could seek revenge. A man who recognized literary stylists on impact, the great god Terry Southern, said Mickey wrote "in a manner which made Malapart, Celine, and other high priests of the roman noir look like a bunch of pansies." I had thought of offering a clip from Mick's work as Mike Hammer in the very so-so vanity project The Girl Hunters (1962), where the world found out his voice was a bit high for a hard-berled detective, but decided the above few minutes of clips from a latter-day Dick Cavett show (circa 1987) revealed more about him. Cavett was hosting a mystery-writers panel, and so Mick appears with Robert Parker (mustached gent), Evan Hunter (aka Ed McBain, checked jacket), and (no kidding) a nun who was writing decently selling mysteries at the time. Spillane is in top form, telling the tale of the immortal last line from Vengeance is Mine (he never i.d.s the book), talking about what Mike Hammer looked like, proudly reading his worst reviews, and giving credit where credit was due: plugging one of his favorite writers, the much-neglected Frederick Brown. The "gritty" novelists of today can't hold a candle to this very canny wordsmith who wielded a manual typewriter as ruthlessly as his character did a .45. Farewell, Mick.

RIP, Adrienne Shelly For more clips like this, and a most enjoyable guide to pop culture, visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here: www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com As a small tribute to the utterly adorable indie actress and filmmaker, I include two bits from Hal Hartley's odd and charming little short "Opera No. 1" in which Adrienne plays a roller-skating angel (alongside Parker Posey) who bewitches James Urbaniak (the onscreen performers are lip-synching their songs). These bits frame the opening sequence and the bit that gives the film "Trust" (1990) its title. Tags: Adrienne Shelly Hal Hartley Trust Opera No. 1 indie actress filmmaker cult Media Funhouse |

When Alfred Hitchock met... James Brown? For more clips like this, and a most enjoyable guide to pop culture, visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here: www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com An amazing panel on the golden "Mike Douglas Show." In a rare daytime talkshow appearance, the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, has nominally come on to promote what might be his worst American film, "Topaz," and gets to shake hands with the three guests who are already on the panel: bestselling poet and songwriter Rod McKuen ("Seasons in the Sun," Listen to the Warm), Joan Rivers (when she was a mousy housewife comedian you could look at without wincing), and the One and Only James Brown. Yes, the two legends from completely different disciplines were on the same stage, just because the bookers decided that was the best day to get 'em both on the air. When this was re-aired, the host of the syndicated package mocked Brown for getting the name of "Psycho" wrong, and calling it "Homicidal." What the Godfather of Soul was referring to is the very Hitchcockian William Castle 1961 chiller of the same name.

Werner Herzog on images, TV, and shoes Clips from Les Blank's classic 1980 short, "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe." The film documents Herzog fulfilling a bet he made with Errol Morris: if Morris would finish his brilliant first feature "Gates of Heaven," Herzog said he would eat his shoe. He uses this public stunt to say some very serious things about American pop culture, filmmakers becoming "clowns" to promote their work, and the culture of images (or lack thereof). Clips like these can be found at the new Media Funhouse blog, which offers clips, reviews, a guide to YouTube and other sites, as well as everything in pop culture "from high art to low trash, and back again..." www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com Tags: Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe Les Blank New German Cinema documentary Gates of Heaven cult movie Media Funhouse |
