Harmony Korine: he did the screenplay for Kids, he used to do Chole Sevigny (until he started doing too many drugs), he's done Letterman, and even Marc Jacobs wants his picture. But mostly because he directed these Cannes applauded films: Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy and Mister Lonely.
Lets get one thing straight. Matt Thompson has big cojones. Not because he travelled solo to Colombia and did everything the guidebook says you shouldn't and made it back. But because he left everything he knew and a few things he probably shouldn't have behind. Wife, newborn child, secure employment and the cosy comfort of Australian society areno match for Thompson's insatiable appetite to be thrown in with the sharks.
If there was an Opulent Bible, it would be a compiled back-catalogue of The Fader magazine, and we would refer to it as "The Good Book of All That is Good". The Fader falls into the realm of a music-culture-lifestyle magazine, but with a marked difference. Rather than waiting for an artist to get discovered or a fashion label to break, they go out and find them.
Sure, you're an unassuming, left-leaning gen-X or Y-er who goes to the occasional independent Czech film showcase, has flirted with vegetarianism and secretly likes Kathmandu products. So what, eh? You're just trying to get on in the world, you're not bothering anyone - you believe in social justice, yeah? Of course you do.
Reading David Sedaris is like sharing those rare moments with friends; when you laugh so hard at someone's self-deprecating recollection of their misfortune that your eyes bleed. It's also like you've been reborn in a world where you're wearing an external catheter designed for sports fans because you like to accessorise.
Catherine Breillat is best known for her films A Ma Soeur! and Romance. If you're a Breillat fan, you will know that her films portray a world that is more disquieting than reassuring, more intimate than objective and more corporeal than cerebral. You may call yourself a Breillat aficionado, but unless you speak French, you have probably never read her novels.
No longer must we torture our bowels. No longer must we hide away in shame and secrecy. No longer must we wake every morning, look at ourselves in the mirror and try to blatantly deny the one thing that unites us all as humans - you do it, I do it, we all do it: p_ _, actually, I’m not even going to blank it out – poo, poo, poo…
This brown coloured hardcover unleashes the cathartic joys of pooing and all it’s marvellous diversity.
