"When a stellar bomb is triggered, very little will happen at first and then a spark, will pop into existence, and it will hang for an instant, hovering in space and then, it will split into two, and those will split again, and again, and again... detonation beyond all imaging, the big bang on a small scale. A new star born out of a dying one... I think it will be beautiful. No, I'm not scared." -Sunshine (2007)Naomi Watts in I Heart Huckabees.
“Wow, wow, wow…”
The excitement is brewing on this one. It sort of looks like a Japanese new wave film. It has that Japanese Americana vibe. It’s also somewhat like Chungking Express (1994) if it was shot in HD (even has the paper bag over the head).
Also, when is Dano going to get his own damn movie.
SKIN - FAMOUS CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS CREATE TATTOOS
“This documentary fills an entrancing ~40 minutes with commentary on contemporary art and a permanently under-appreciated genre’s place within that spectrum. Tattoos have been around for many centuries, and due to their nature of becoming one with the person on whom they were created, have never had the chance to enter history books alongside more accepted forms of art like oil painting and sculpture. But as artists like Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst change what is accepted in the canon, tattoo art may have a chance to join its cousins and be remembered for what it is: a beautiful and highly dedicated art form.
Recognizing this, these very same artists that are the biggest living names in art have teamed up with a group of tattoo creators and receivers to deliver a revolutionary new concept by putting original pieces onto the bodies of people. From a butterfly tattoo on a vagina to bright chest pieces, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Raymond Pettibon create a new chapter in their own careers and the story of tattoo art in this highly compelling visual essay titled Skin, directed by Ryan Hope.”
