PETER ROSE FILMS ON UBUWEB



I was first introduced to Peter Rose's films via my film professor Simon Tarr. He's a very unique experimental filmmaker in that he is often more interested in content (usually linguistic ruminations) than form, but still manages to blend the two to make for a uniquely cinematic work of art. And they're also funny as hell, especially "The Pressures of the Text".

He's not for everyone, but if you're interested in language and film, check it out:

LOOK AT MY STRIPED SHIRT!


Look at my button down striped shirt! Fucking look at it! This shirt means one thing! I'm coming home with some pussy tonight! That's right! It's been a long week at the office and it's time to blow off a little steam! I am a Junior Vice President! I have business cards that say "Junior Vice President" on them! They're glossy and magnificent! Here! Have one! Take it!

My boys are coming out with me tonight! They all have striped shirts too!

I figure we'll kick off the night with some Golden Tee! I am going to smack the shit out of that little white ball! It's going to be so fucking loud! I'll bet I can drive that pretend golf ball 600 fucking yards tonight! I'm that fucking pumped!

I can almost taste those Jager Bombs right now! I fucking love Red Bull! I put it on my God damned cereal! I'm crushing one right now!

I'm thinking about buying a boat this year!

I'm gonna fight someone tonight! I pray to God someone makes eye contact with me! I will beat his ass! And God help him if he gets any blood on my striped shirt! If he does, I'll scrub it out with his dick and some bleach! I mean it!

I'm gonna grind on girls asses tonight! You heard me! When I see a group of girls dancing in a circle, I will select the most attractive one and dry hump her until it hurts! I will rub my cock against her so that she can feel my throbbing hard on!

I will valet tonight!

I will treat the valet with contempt and make sure that he knows that I am superior to him in life! I will tell him to "Take it easy on the brakes, Champ"!

I will talk to people I don't know about my job tonight! They will all know that I am an important man! I will call female bartenders "Babe" and male bartenders "Chief"!

When I do not hook up with a girl at that club, I will say that the place is "full of skanks"! We will wait in a long line to go to another bar only to strike out again!

I will give up and decide to order a gyro off of a street vendor! I will make fun of him to my friends for being foreign! I will look ridiculous purchasing my gyro because people will be able to tell by my striped shirt and tinted sunglasses that I struck out and am settling for a gyro!

I will make one last attempt to hook up by trying to coax two big girls who are also ordering gyros to coming back to my place for "after hours"! When they say no I will make fun of them for being fat! I will leave!

When I get home I will go to the bathroom and hold the straight razor to my wrist again! I will gently drag the razor laterally against my vein, making sure not to actually cut myself!

I will then go to my room and pass out! I will need some shut eye so that I'll be ready to fucking party again tomorrow!

A COMMUNIQUE FROM THE OTHER SIDE...

Sorry for the lack of updates lately; not having access to Blogger at work has severely limited my capability to ramble on endless about a bunch of stuff that you may or may not be interested in. Despite this, know that I still love each and every one of you. In a non-sexual way. For the most part.

I was planning on having a review up about the Oak show by now, but it's just been a really hectic week, so I'll probably get to it tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a nice picture I snapped on my cell phone of the band warming up--


All right, time to leave the coffee shop & get back to work...have a good weekend everyone!
