One of the problems with Pink is that it’s made us complacent. We think we are doing something (to fight cancer) by buying yogurt.

Peggy Orenstein on how the “Pink” movement gets cancer treatment wrong. Listen to her chat with Brian Lehrer here. (via wnyc) For a second there I read Peggy Orenstein as Peggy Olson from Mad Men. Making her… more awesome

The American Dreamer (1971), a documentary portrait of Dennis Hopper is one of the great lost films of the early seventies. Made in 1971, as Hopper was basking in the glory of his Cannes winning film Easy Rider, and before the release of his second film The Last Movie (which would turn out to be a colossal bomb), The American Dreamer was filmed mostly around Hopper’s ranch in New Mexico and finds the bearded director (who could have strayed from the cover of The Band’s second album) baring his soul (and his ass) for the camera. Hopper’s musings on art, filmmaking, photography, sex and politics are wonderfully pretentious, including an incredible sequence where Hopper, with the need to feel “self conscious” strips off his clothes and walks down a sleepy LA suburban neighbourhood, balls naked. In between bouts of Hopper firing off various hand guns and rifles, and indulging in some softcore grappling with 2 girls in a bathtub, we see a pensive Hopper overseeing the endless editing on The Last Movie, while trying to stave off Universal who are anxious to see what Hopper did in Peru with all their money.
Dennis Hopper went insane in Peru. The results, The Last Movie, is fascinating and a better movie than the last Indiana Jones movie.
Well I like Easter even more now! :-)
Ah, Religion….
And if she ever asks you if you are a god, you say, “Yes!”
