i think Adventure Sisters is a really good movie show
but, really, why is pedophilia a recurring joke in the show?

cremaster part deux
i had a dream once where i waz in a room similar to that room where the man and woman in western attire were dancing. except in my dream the room wazn't spinning, nor was there a saddle suspended from the ceiling. in all i liked the movie, it reminded me of my dreamz. generally speaking i'm attracted to moviez that have good use of space, my favorite onez being moviez that involve very few camera movementz and lots of brightly colored roomz. for cremaster 2 i really enjoyed any of the scenez with beez and the spinning room, suspended saddle, dancing couple scene which i guess tyler hated, don't tell him this but i've slowly been poisoning his food with pine-sol for the past month. i also really enjoyed the scene with harry houdini and baby fay lafoe, i haven't come across many filmz that mix surrealistic-artsy imagez and scenez with historical characterz but i sure do enjoy it! keep up the good work barney!
love,

Matthew Barney's Cremaster 2 (Tyler's monologue draft)
Well, you guys, I'd have to say I really liked this movie. There were some parts that were lame: the cowboy dancing, the bull riding, the car part. However, there is a lot going on in the movie, and, its dawdling slowness aside, something for the whole family: copulation, bees, plastic corsets, possible evil villains, Harry Houdini, reflective shallow water photography reflecting mountains and the sunset, mediocre CG. One review I read (I think the txt file from freakyflicks) said that it was a "Gothic Western." Be not fooled by that misappropriated generic attribution. It's mostly like a dreamscape (I think Brandon said that?) something that you watch with the swiftness and texture of real living. It doesn't necessarily have a generic quality to it. Just because there are cowboys in one part doesn't necessarily make it a Western, and what kind of Western? I suppose that the surrounding media (I assume there was surrounding media wherever it was first shown?) would offer some help in understanding the film. However, the credits are all I really want to focus on right now.
What about Johnny Cash? Was he the shooter? Did he 'shoot a man just to watch him die,' so to speak? I suppose the most dreamy quality of the film is its focus on environment and not on character, people are replaceable and it is solely focused on haunting genius loci, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, &c.
Wow! And Baby Fay La Foe was Anonymous? Amazing?

Cremaster 2 (Matthew Barney)
I watched this movie several weeks after watching Cremaster 1. I'm not a movie critic or analyst, but personally I wouldn't have realized the films were by the same person. While in Cremaster 1 everything felt very minimalist and quiet, Cremaster 2 features vistas, a larger pool of actors, and measurably more dialogue.
I found the beginning of this movie a lot more interesting than the latter half. The use of bees and metal music were very appealing to me. While the nudity and copulation were vaguely intriguing, I didn't find they adding anything to the experience for me. If it had been nudity alone against the bees I think it would have had the same effect on me.
While the first part of Cremaster 2 was more enjoyable to me than the last half, I did enjoy the very end. The recurrence of Baby Fay Le Foe was lovely, as I had enjoyed her presence in the first part of the movie as well. Between the car showroom and the sanctuary/organ room of the Morman Tabernacle Choir, I also enjoyed the architecture in the movie a lot.
Cremaster 1 felt very claustrophobic inside the Goodyear blimps, and even within the stadium since it seemed very insular. I really appreciated that Cremaster 2 balanced interior architecture with vistas and open sky. It made the movie more interesting and felt more thoughtful.
The cowboys, Western dancing, and semi-Country music were not appealing to me. As they don't appeal to me even outside this film, I am not surprised, but I felt they were a bothersome interruption in an otherwise interesting, if bewildering, film.
