eg the gap between dylan (in toto) and glam (in toto) is smaller than dave van ronk wants it to be

i agree, i was trying to say (i think i failed) that the reigining dylan paradigm doesn't really involve much glam and doesn't really evoke anything that haynes has previously been known to be interested in. that doesn't mean that dylan himself, or his music or pop persona, doesn't have affinities with what haynes has previously been known to be interested in.

I can't think of a single thread/discussion/reaction that I've ever found more interesting than the film it's discussing.

Dylan never should've left Toto, he was the best one!

anyway i think i was being really unclear upthread... due to my trying to condense a difficult thought that i hadn't even quite reasoned out into a few words (because i was at work and rushed). i'll try to explain myself again a little later, when i have time.

from SXSW:
TH asked how to find 'Superstar': "You're asking the one person who isn't allowed to tell you, and my lawyer is two people over from you."

Reading the "cultograpy" of Superstar and really enjoying it. Prompted me to finally watch Poison and it is pretty damn good! I'm gonna check out everything else of his I haven't yet seen.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:03 (fifteen years ago) link
i totally love this movie, I've never seen Poison or VG, even though I've loved every other bit of Haynes I've seen so much.

You should read the book, it's putting the film in a new context for me.

love most of this guy's stuff, Poison excepted.

Safe freaked me out.

Me too, but in a good way. Film I keep meaning to revisit.

i love superstar; poison to me falls more into the interesting-failure category, tho it's worth seeing.

Kate Winslet is attached to "Mildred Pierce," a miniseries adaptation based on the James M. Cain novel that Todd Haynes is writing and directing. Sources said that HBO is the lead contender to get the mini, but payweb sources said no deal has been struck.Cain's tale was famously turned into a 1945 film that won Joan Crawford an Oscar for the lead role of a bored housewife who gets into the restaurant business, an enterprise that leads to back-stabbing, romance and murder.The involvement of Winslet--right after her Oscar-winning performance in "The Reader" and her work in "Revolutionary Road"--underscores how much paywebs like HBO have become prestige venues for films that might vanish as theatrical releases, a fact underscored by the success of "Grey Gardens," which garnered Emmy noms for Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.Haynes directed "I'm Not There," "Safe" and "Far From Heaven."
