My Dinner With Andre (1981)

I've always known about this film, having first seen it as a child on the first cable station, "Z Channel" in the early 80s. Of course, back then, I immediately flipped to the next channel.

Only now, being almost the same age as the characters in this film, or at least not far from their general mind states, I felt like it hit me in the right spot.

I so loved seeing this for the 'first time' (even though I felt like I already had 'been there, done that' and had already seen it!)

I'm finally happy to see this film as it is. A great minimalist film of just two dudes talking about sleeping and waking.

When You Sleep I Dream

seashells with googly eyes, rocks, wood, miniature top hat.

I just got the bestest gifts for my family at this website, run by a certain Paul Williams. I don't think his eye could be more 'n sync with my own for absurd/ugly/awesome objects and arty doodads.
Collected over a many years and kept in a lovely, musty, aged-wood room, the objects are perfect gift finds for people who appreciate the awesome. Before I start sounding like a magazine blurbical, I will stop writing now. L.A. peeps, come to him for gifts that would make you the envy of the kingdom.
