Pasolini

[luka]

craner is generally a pretty chill guy, very tolerant, but his hatred for version burns with a white hot flame.

 

[ver$hy ver$h]

"When are we going to get The Gospel According to St. Version, eh, Versh? When?"

 

[Leo]

why does version set people off like that? well, craner, anyway.

 

[ver$hy ver$h]

The other week he was laughing along with my posts, today he demands I become the next Pasolini.

 

[luka]

good question. a lot of people really hate him. maybe cos he tries so hard to be inoffensive?

 

[ver$hy ver$h]

He's logged out now, possibly in rage.

Just like Pasolini.

 

[Leo]

you have to needle him incessantly before he'll tell you to fuck off, but even then it's done in an inoffensive manner.

He's an Italian filmmaker. I'm stepping on Craner's turf.

He says once you get into high culture that purity comes back, it's just conventional culture that corrupts, but yeah, he definitely doesn't fit into that first category himself. That wasn't what bothered me about the comment though.

I suppose that if he's saying he likes high-brow and low but not middle then that's not that unreasonable. But I agree it's put quite patronizingly.

Looking forward to seeing your contribution to culture and humanity too, Version. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic!

i know it's meant to be sarcastic but i honestly agree with this...

Notes Towards an African Orestes. An odd, somewhat patronising film. Pasolini's filmed 'notes' for a project in Africa that never came to fruition. It has its moments, but when he puts his ideas to a bunch of African students they knock him back a bit and that perhaps had something to do with his ultimately abandoning the film.

There's a jazz performance in the middle that's fucking appalling.

If you think this is shit just wait until you watch Jean-Luc Godard.

I want to see the Richard Gere remake of Breathless.

I'd love to see a Pasolini remake of American Gigolo

 

[ver$hy ver$h]

I read he intended to follow Salo with a Gilles de Rais film.

Yeah, that would not have aged well.

The Police vs. Pasolini, Pasolini vs. The Police
