This is a good song.(I think that if I were a Brit Pop band I would be The Jam--punky, but in a weird, uptight sort of way. And like the whole time I'd want to be the Clash or the Sex Pistols, but I'd be The Jam and wear scarves with suits and cover David Watts.)

And I'm officially addicted. Have Gun--Will travel is downright wondrous television. It stars Richard Boone as Paladin, a roaming gunman-for-hire and frequent inhabiter of complicated ethical territory based out of 'frisco. Each episode is a perfect little morality play, dark and innovative, deeply interesting, and twenty minutes long. It's candy--fucking delicious bite-sized Swiss chocolate

Clint Eastwood won Best Director at the 1993 Academy Awards for his work on Unforgiven. Gene Hackman got Best Supporting Actor. Their Oscars were well deserved. The film's screenplay was also nominated, but lost out to The Crying Game, which is a shame really because, when watching Unforgiven, it's the writing that stands out. David Webb Peoples (12 Moneys, Blade Runner) is the man responsible

"When. The fuck. Did he get a poncho?" I asked my darling friend Tristan Marsh as we sat one evening watching the primary installment of Sergio Leone's Man with No Name Trilogy and my very first Clint Eastwood Western ever. Why, off that dying soldier, Mr. Marsh calmly explained. This bit had not exactly registered in my brain, for you see, I was drunk. But I nevertheless learned a great deal

A few nights ago, instead of viewing any one of the movies in EW's Top Fifteen, I watched The Misfits. The film's reputation as one of Hollywood's most beautiful and strangely fascinating flops is well-founded--the picture, though remarkably compelling, just does not come off. Yet one is left with an unshakable notion that the film's power is inexplicably tied up in its status as failed art.

When Sergio Leone made Once Upon a Time in the West he was through with Westerns. The screenplay, written by Leone and Sergio Donati (who would later help produce the script for Orca), is based on a story devised by Leone himself, along with the help of two other Italian masters: Dario Argento and Bernardo Bertolucci. Paramount lured the director onto the project by promising him a big budget

For the first major phase of the Cowboys and Indians Project at Lost Red Sweater, I've decided to work my way through Entertainment Weekly's "Fifteen Must-See Westerns.

So it turns out that one of the first narrative films in all of cinema history was a Western. The Great Train Robbery (1903) is largely remembered for its technical achievements--early approximations of cross-cutting, double exposure, and, you know, moving the camera. The director, Edwin S. Porter, had served as the cameraman at the world's first movie studio, Thomas Edison's Black Maria. The

This is one of my favorite things: a piece by performance artist Laurie Anderson from 1982 called "Head." It's hardly the summit of her work, she of the tape-bow violin and "O Superman," but when everything's all added up on the Maria von Trapp Value Indication Axis, this little number is what warms my heart after a long night of dancing in the gazebo with my Nazi boyfriend.
