You should check the Family Tree box set...

MikeMatronik said:

Got it! Good recommendation though Matronik. Nice hair by the way.

MikeMatronik said:

Do you have the full Union Chapel show?

GangstaFam said:

I have never seen it

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Now get your ass away from that desk and go rent it immediately!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Jeez. Even Blockbuster carries it.

CinisterCee said:

Cin have you checked Björk's live boxset?

I recomend it vividly!

MikeMatronik said:

Then I will recommend it ardently. But only if you are a BIG fan.

Anx said:

oh, lord, now i am scared to go.

dancer in the dark ripped my heart out of my chest, threw it on the floor, and did the cha-cha on it.

GangstaFam said:

me neither. i can't make it all the way through steps, cause knowing what is coming makes me turn it to a different song

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

seriously, richard. promise me you will see it. it is SPECTACULAR

cborgman said:

well, DR9 isn't quite as emotionally devastating...it's more of a gore endurance test.

The ad for the film I've seen says "never to be released on video/DVD". Is that to just get people into the theater or is Matthew Barney really like that? I mean, so out there that he really won't release this film on video?

sextonseven said:

That's just how he is, I'm afraid. I don't know how he makes any money.

GangstaFam said:

his films are considered art pieces and not "motion pictures", which may sound pretentious, but actually he does tons of sculpture work for his films, so it's kinda like he creates a filmed exhibition of his artwork with a narrative to keep it from being static or arbitrary. of course, the narratives of his films mean a lot more than just a reason to show off his sculpture, but that's the rationale.

he sells DVDs of his cremaster movies on commission - they cost thousands of dollars, but he personally sculpts the DVD cases, and the cases alone are amazing art pieces. i saw a few at the guggenheim show of his work a couple of summers ago, and i was all

there is ONE dvd you can buy via retail - it's a scene from cremaster 3 called "the order", which is about 30 minutes long, but it also has the scene from all the different characters' points of view. it's a pretty cool idea.

Bjork is the album I think about whenever Bjork is mentioned....I never got into anything after even though I heard follow up was really good.

VinnyM27 said:

you know, the bjork album that i think gets slept on most is GLING GLO, which is an album of beebop jazz music. i think this album is SO adorable.

Anx said:

I thought she was done with movies....Although from the sounds of it, this sounds more like a music video with a lot of stuff going on....

VinnyM27 said:

yeah, it's more about the cinematography than the acting....she has maybe one or two lines and she says them both in icelandic.

VinnyM27 said:

Her childhood album from 1977?

Anx said:

Okay, I'm definitely seeing this movie then. There was an article about 'DR9' in the spring issue of FLM magazine where Matthew talks about finding the ship on which to film. It sounded interesting: http://www.movienet.com/drawrestr9.html

Plus, I can't turn down an opportunity to see Björk's muff.

GangstaFam said:

lol

"Álfur Út Úr Hól"

GangstaFam said:

I meant to say "Post". Doh! I just think "Post" was her breakthrough album for a reason....It's Bjork being as a mainstream as possible yet still being Bjork!

Anx said:

I work for the sf int'l film fest and they're showing Drawing Restraint here next week. Matthew Barney is coming. I'm so constipated with watching movies though, I doubt I'll bother. I feel like I've "been there, done that" with the cremaster cycle.

GangstaFam said:

I think a $50,000 check for a sculpture or installation is a pretty decent income. I don't know for sure what they cost, but he plays at that level.
