Thanks so much!

I attended the Park city experience last week and have concluded that my favorite part of the whole fiasco was of course the Cheap Trick concert at the DV8 club in Salt Lake city that took place Wednesday evening.

Not in our jurisdiction

I would like to submit a:

Short film (19 minutes)

Please describe your film/other:

Kind of an abstract, mythopoeic, sado-masochistic, film threatening and executing child cruelty.

lindley@syd.dit.csiro.au

 

Under consideration, really

Slumdance-We may stand around scratching our crotch, but our film entries are top notch.

gwf@westworld.com

 

 

Is it available as a short?

Please describe your film/other:

Cold Fingers in My Underwear -

The story of a young person caught in the cusp of his own creativity and the desire to sell it all out for the cause and advancement of gross commercialization and global capitalism. On the eve of the sale of his greatest work to a major studio he is visited by an incubus who is employed from the discorporate zones by a mini-major conglomerate to influence his unconscious and thereby insure he will join big profit party and be happy til they chuck his ass out the door(exact suitboy quote).

After a night of wild sex and unspeakable acts he chains the incubus and storms the corporate tower of the minimajorcumglam and throws her prostrate figure before the studio head without an appointment and killing 5 interns, two publicists, the highest apid screenwriter on the scene, three Jappanese investors and Jean Claude Van-DAmme on the way in...I didin't mention it was an action film, did I?

For his daring, callousness and utter disrespect for life and pretense to artistic integrity he is made king, and he gets to keep the incubus as an incentive.

COLD FINGERS IN MY UNDERWEAR....a block buster if there ever was one.... Available in 35mm, digital video, 16mm and graphic novel form.

Doesn't count as hate mail

I would like to submit a:

Listen, punk. I've had it up to here with the likes of you people. I'd like to submit a friggin threat, do you hear me. Asshead over there couldn't even tell me what the hell vague means, but I told him, I did.

The defining characteristic of my threat is the indeterminate anger, unfocused that it may be, that radiates outward in all directions from my left eyeball. I've got a lot of energy, punk, and I might be able to steal a van, but I will not tolerate peace, goddammit. I am a man, a decent fucking human being, a man.

Admit nothing, blame everyone, be bitter.

Thanks for listening, asshole, & fuck you.

All my love,

Beyond film

A very windy day

Not all tripped forsaken willow grabbed and bake and shaken,

furrow fallow platitudinal ripped out bumper leaking noodle,

winded leaves and leaves of grass

spinning grease and burning fast

groundhog insight

molar's overbite

led us down to the widow walkers overnight.

Back drafting ears thrust shear invisible walls,

having their way with the bending, twisting, underfalls.

Hemlock mood beater fig cake enclave,

raft duck namable gas squeezer pic 'n' save.

Forked rope lard stuffed muffin tin sprung diddle,

aloofly rubber pot burner spanker yankee horn riddle:

Hold back the rushing river

let the wind lie still,

don't let the moonlight shine

across the lonely hill:

Hill top pocket sprained uncut daily ripper dump,

finished foursome endive pampered western style party rump,

rut gouger shapely tampered ballot mallet shaving stump,

hang 'em higher toolbin global foreskin baited wicked trump.

How can it, damn it, push and slam it,

when swirling, drilling, bambi canned it?

Who is it, was it, wore it well,

clanging, pouty ner' do well?

When will it, still it, bill it now

to the charging farting suedelike cow!

Our first hate mail, and we didn't even go to film school

Dudes,

A brief mention of your *schedule* or ETA for said schedule might add meat to the bones of your site. Assuming, of course, you actually want people to view the films you are showing in your not-festival.

Mysti Rubert (mysti@earthlink.net)
Petty Dictator, Mysterious Productions

P.S. The whole love/hate forced choice dichotamy is so...so...film school. How about a third choice, like Geek Mail, AnalRetent Mail or Oops, I Mistyped Slamdance, How Did I Get Here Mail?

 

 

 

 

Pleasantly offset by our sweetest love mail

It's amazing! We sat here laughing our asses off (and John doesn't usually sit still to check out web stuff at all!) Really - the site is incredibly well done. Hilarious and right on the mark. It's probably my favorite web site ever.

And, hey - don't think I didn't bring up that whole award thing with John too before he went out to the '96 LAIFF. We got a kick out of the link - maybe it'll help sell some paperbacks.

I'd love to help any way if I can.

Best,

Janet Pierson

 

Fastest "please send" response

I have a piece I made last year - a VHS about my dead mouse. 2 minutes long, melancholy rather than gory (the mouse wan't dead when I made the film). I'd love to get it shown somewhere. It would make his little ghost happy.
