Sunday to Wednesday! Quentin Tarantino and John Waters’ idol Tura Satana (cult icon and burlesque legend, star of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) is honored with a posthumous legacy documentary narrated by Margaret Cho directed by Cody Jarrett (Sugarboxx)!

I sat in on his class as a grad student who suddenly wanted to start working on Modernist film. Huge loss.

My copies arrived! So wonderful to finally see Refocus: the Films of John Waters in print.

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

John Waters loves William Castle and followed in his footsteps with Odoroma! Castle is such an important filmmaker who doesn't always get the scholarly love he deserves.

I've thought a lot about the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex finds out that the droogs he used to rampage with are now policemen

And that's why it's now it's such a radical thing.

Would love to be on Writers on Film. What are the next steps to make this happen?

And I'm delighted to have it included. These are both excellent volumes.

Accurate depiction of what revision sometimes feels like.

College credit for watching John Waters movies? There’s a class next spring. A college course, a literary tribute, and an award are all on the horizon for Baltimore filmmaker John Waters.

I'm thrilled to be offering this class, which runs through May, and coediting the first scholarly volume on Waters.

My childhood was elegant homes, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building backyard forts, droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees. Middle America as it’s supposed to be. But on the cherry tree, there’s this pitch oozing out – some black, some yellow – and millions of red ants crawling all over it. I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.

When I’m struggling to write, I often go back to this David Lynch quote.

‘I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath’

David Lynch, Auteur Drawn to the Dark and the Dreamlike, Dies at 78 With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

"Lynchian" is a fully realized and instantly comprehensible adjective, as concrete a one-word summation of an artist's aesthetic and worldview as has ever been associated with any artist in any medium. Things will forever be Lynchian, but there was only one David Lynch. #RIP

BREAKING: David Lynch Has Thoughts on the Dark Side of Fifties Suburbia That 1950s small-town thing, it’s different, and to catch that mood is important. It’s dreamy, that’s what it is. The 50s mood isn’t completely positive, though, and I always knew there was stuff g…

From the archives: David Lynch considers the dark side of fifties suburbia.

David Lynch, Visionary Director of ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Blue Velvet,’ Dies at 78 Director David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like 'Blue Velvet,' has died. He was 78.

No.

Now do dual credit.

Peeps, I'm doing the consultation on this...it is onerous but I think it would help to even partially fill it out. A lot of my responses are basically "if I have to write pleading individual emails to grumpy heirs of literary estates then so should Microsoft" www.gov.uk/government/c...

Brilliantly put by Jeanette Winterson: ""And I began to realize that what we must not do is accept false choices, fake realities, imposed on us by other people. And for me, one of the things that books have done, literature's done, art has done is refuse those false choices, but rather...
