Philip-Lorca diCorcia






Been meaning to post these for ages! These are some of my favourite photos of all time particularly the fridge one. I couldn't find any good quotes about fridges - if anyone knows any feel free to mail me!

PS i like the story about how they lit the fridge from within with like a lamp or something. kinda genius!

HBO can do no wrong



I am basing most of my endorsement of this show on Steve Buscemi being in it

"So would you believe me anyway?"



Sometimes writing something concise like 6 words short is infinitely harder to do than to write something 600 words long. This is why in high school people kept banging on about 'Jesus wept.' being the best and most beautiful sentence ever written. This is why in Whit Stillman's 'Last Days of Disco' Chloe Sevigny's character Alice thinks that writing a really great quote is better than writing a great novel. Hemingway once said that his best work was the following:'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.'

Six words, untold possibilities. Theres something about the compact and the concise that resonates with us instantly. Perhaps this is why twitter is so popular?

Anyway I'm going to try and write my 6 word memoir before I die - but before you have the pleasure enjoy some greater writers attempts. They're pretty funny - especially James Frey who is now, I believe, one of the most underrated writers of our generation - thanks Oprah!

Best Movies You've Never Seen #1



Ginger Snaps (2000) - dir. John Fawcett

teen werewolves and the best young goth since beetlejuice. after premiering at toronto film fest this film seemed to go nowhere - though they made 2 sequels which i can't vouch for - but the original reminded me of well, teen wolf meets heathers? To quote - "I get this ache... And I, I thought it was for sex, but it's to tear everything to fucking pieces."the final scene is actually incredibly beautiful and touching as well.
