4.0 out of 5 stars Got me started., Sep 12 2007
Very cool introduction to PR. Got me started in the business back in 2003. If you are serious, read Seitel's Practice of PR and Grunig's Excellence in Public Relations (esp. if you are a manager).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome package, outstanding DVD!, Sep 12 2007
The definitive edition of Anger's work. The colors are sharp, the image pristine. Rich in occult and homoerotic symbolism, those shorts are each a world in themselves. Love the use of music as the narrative and the editing. It took a long time for Fantomas to bring this baby to market but it was worth it. This Vol.1 is more oriented toward lesser works IMHO. Art as a magick ritual.Commentaries are interesting but somwehat superficials.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ferocious attack on celebrity, Sep 10 2007
This review is from: Pink Flamingos [Import] (VHS Tape)
Wow. Great movie with a great soundtrack. I don't know if that what's John envisionned, but i find that this movie is a really biting satire on tabloid trash\celebrity culture (well duh) but also - more importantly - on consumer capitalism: the need to achieve above everything else, to crush your enemies, to be perceived as a winner. Or did I dreamt all this... Not for everyone but wicked fun if you're in the right frame of mind. The use of music as a narrative device is heavily influenced by Kenneth Anger's shorts. A mix between Jean Genet's Notre Dame des Fleurs and Andy Warhol.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice - but don't think about the politics, Aug 20 2007
A great popcorn movie with stunning visuals. Not much of a story though. Some people may see its as some kind of un-pc political allegory. Others will fume over historical inaccuracies (where are the thespians and the thebans?). Just take it as entertainment and you'll do just fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Psychotronic Party DVD, July 24 2007
This review is from: Extra Weird Sampler (2002) (DVD)
Not-so-classic trailers of exploitation movies produced by Friedman and others sleaze purveyors from the 60/70s. Great value for the price.

Old wisdom under the brand new hip clothes of "guerilla" marketing and PR.
