“…He said that the older you get, the lonelier you become, and the deeper the love you need. Which means that this hero that you’re trying to maintain as the central figure in the drama of your life— this hero is not enjoying the life of a hero. You’re exerting a tremendous maintenance to keep this heroic stance available to you, and the hero is suffering defeat after defeat. And they’re not heroic defeats; they’re ignoble defeats. Finally, one day you say, ‘Let him die— I can’t invest any more in this heroic position.’ From there, you just live your life as if it’s real— as if you have to make decisions even though you have absolutely no guarantee of any of the consequences of your decisions.”

- Leonard Cohen in a 2002 spin interview culled from this Pitchfork article. The life of the warrior is not easy, and must be chosen anew each day.

This Advanced Digital Production & Post reel screened with improvised music performed by John Hawk, Gordon Kurowski, and others as part of the CalArts end of year celebration the Bijou Fest. My class gives equal focus to exposing students to cutting edge Industry hardware, software, and workflow as well as various methods of experimental production and ultra low budget production and post solutions. These represent a few of the experiments we performed this Spring.

Denis Medri returns to take a look at the rogues of Gotham and more of Batman’s supporting. Catwoman, Joker, Poison Ivy and Bane join Batgirl, James Gordon and Alfred in round out this amazing collection of Rockabilly gothamites. It’s interesting to note that reimagining Catwoman for the 1950s brings her costume full circle, close to her original suit from the 1940s.

Evelyn Hofer at Danziger Gallery — open through June 22.

Late in her life, when asked for her thoughts on being called “the most famous unknown photographer in America.” Evelyn Hofer said she liked it. She understood that what mattered was the work, not personal fame.

“

BUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS PROCESS OF GOING HOME AND READING WAS SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT. HULK LOOKED AT WHAT A WRITER HAD TO SAY, LISTENED AND CAME TO UNDERSTAND. AND WHEN HULK DID THAT, HULK SAW THAT THERE WAS INDEED A WAY TO SEE THE FILM IN A POSITIVE LIGHT. EVEN IF HULK DISAGREED, THERE WAS A WAY TO SEE IT AS SOMETHING SENSIBLE, OPTIMISTIC AND EVEN DOWNRIGHT POETIC.

IT IS OFTEN REASONS LIKE THESE THAT MR. BEAKS IS ONE OF HULK’S FAVORITE CRITICS. HE SO CONSTANTLY COMES AT MOVIES FROM A DIRECTION HULK NEVER THINKS OF AND HULK ADORES THAT. SO WHY IS IT WHEN WE THROW AROUND THE NAMES OF OUR FAVORITE CRITICS THE PHRASE HULK USUALLY SEES ALL THE TIME IS “I USUALLY AGREE WITH…” WHY IS THAT THE MAIN CRITERIA IN CRITICISM? LOOK, HULK UNDERSTANDS THAT AGREEMENT HAS REAL VALUE IN THE PURE “CINEMA PURCHASE GUIDANCE” SENSE. BUT CRITICISM IS ABOUT FAR MORE THAN DECIDING WHERE TO SPEND YOUR OCCASIONAL 14 BUCKS. IT’S ABOUT BROADENING HORIZONS. LEARNING. GROWING. ALL THOSE TOUCHY FEELY WORDS WE’VE GROWN TOO CYNICAL FOR, BUT REALLY THEY’RE THE THINGS THAT MAKE US FEEL HAPPY AND ALIVE. THAT’S THE KIND OF CRITICISM HULK SEEKS OUT REGULARLY.
