As much as i like that stretch from Marble Index to The End dunno if Nico is the right person to be quoting for various reasons lolNico said that technique is for people who are not tall and blond. andy warhol had technique, she said
i mean sometimes its a thing you feel in your gut you feel like the movie used up its best stuff too early or you kind of went into a film for some reason expecting wanting one specific thing throughout the movie and only got it once and never again.Once you'd seen the good bit? How did you know that the next bit would disappoint though?
we didnt, i guess pub/spilff was just more enticing.Once you'd seen the good bit? How did you know that the next bit would disappoint though?

if she didn't have "technique" then what did she have? is what i'd like to know
My guess is that Sufi didn't enjoy that first bit that much or he wouldn't have left like that.i mean sometimes its a thing you feel in your gut you feel like the movie used up its best stuff too early or you kind of went into a film for some reason expecting wanting one specific thing throughout the movie and only got it once and never again.
She was businesslike about her looks, but didn’t bother to hide her disdain for those who failed to match her. ‘I was tall, I was blonde, and was dignified. Nothing more is needed to make an effect. It is short people who need technique. Andy Warhol has technique. I had none.’ Otter Bickerdike cuts the mention of Warhol, but the reference shows contempt. Nico had a history of making racist remarks, contextualised by her biographers in terms of trauma, the times, irony and a desire to shock, but the incidents accumulate into a virulence she chose not to repress.yeah, from https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/n04/lavinia-greenlaw/why-couldn-t-she-be-fun\
apparently she had teutonic presence so she felt like she didnt need to make the effort
& referred to that as "technique"
i mean...i feel like alot of white women have been trading in this kind of thing since Nico's was rolling with Warhol and somehow people keep treating it like its a new thingyeah, from https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v44/n04/lavinia-greenlaw/why-couldn-t-she-be-fun\

this is also my criticism of citizen kane...my friend who i was also watching it with she HATED it because she wanted there to be more rollerblading in the movie.
don't know what this has to do with films but okand joanna newsome
So the argument boils down to "Craner does not like French knockers"?
i read the LRB tooNico said that technique is for people who are not tall and blond. andy warhol had technique, she said
i saw on his instagram that he's got a new 19 year old Polish waitress for a girlfriend. good on him!we didnt, i guess pub/spilff was just more enticing.
the misgivings started as soon as they revealed the juvenile character iirc.
baron harkonnen is like the fat scottish man get in my belly from the austin powers films which corpsey lovesI have defended it in the past, but its a mess. The narrative is all over the place, the visual effects, especially the mattes, are laughably bad and the editing is catastrophic. This is why Lynch himself disowned it.
That said, costumes and sets are magnificent and Baron Harkonnen is great. Ill give it that.
