Jean Guilhomet - Sainte Suzanne (1500-1503)

The genius of Guilhomet’s work here resides in the details: a close examination of her dangling chain and book pages—and of the beard and robe embroidery of Guilhomet’s St. Pierre, displayed alongside Ste. Suzanne in the second photo—is quite remarkable.

Aztec Camera - Oblivious (director unknown) (1983)

I don’t think that this vid would be OK by today’s PC standards, but this song absolutely, positively, 100% kicks.

The Eels - Souljacker, Part I (dir by Wim Wenders)(2001)

Not a huge Eels fan, but this song and “Novocaine…” are quite good.

Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick - Superheroes (from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, dir by Jim Sharman) (1975)

This scene, from the film’s finale, was omitted from U.S. prints for being too “downbeat.”

It’s also omitted from the Disney+ channel version…and why the heck is this film on Disney+?!?

Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm (Censored Version) (dir by Jean-Paul Goude) (1985)

Apologies n advance for the substandard quality of this video. The original (uncensored) HD version is gloriously colorful and really pops visually; it also, unfortunately, has some objectionable content.

North by Northwest (dir by Alfred Hitchcock) (1959)

In one of the more humorous gaffes in movie history, the boy seated at background right of Eva Marie-Saint’s character covers his ears in anticipation of a gunshot going off at the 1:40 mark.

Mulholland Drive (dir by David Lynch) (2001)

Lee Grant’s Louise here has a shadowy profile that exactly matches that of the infamous dumpster entity later in the film. Why?

I have my suspicions.

God bless Lynch, who himself has said that all interpretations of his films are valid.

Robert Rauschenberg - Erased de Kooning Drawing (1953)

Rauschenberg asked Dutch painter Willem de Kooning, whose works now fetch tens of millions of dollars at auction, to provide an original drawing that he would proceed to transform into a new work simply by completely erasing it.

Is this art?

Black Christmas (dir by Bob Clark) (1974)

One of the first, if not the first, slasher horror movies of the twentieth century, and likely the first to use killer’s POV shots.

The last scene is particularly hauntlng.
