I'm Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Dylan

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

that title screams "I HAVE AN MFA FROM BROWN!"

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

or Francis Bacon!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

It's called "I'm Not There," which is a Dylan tune from the Basement Tapes era (on the bootleg but not the official release). There's a lenghtly subtitle which is something like "suppositions on a film about Bob Dylan" but the script I have has "inspired by the life and work of Bob Dylan" as the subtitle (it's a Sept. '04 draft).

obvs. i didnt realise what either an MFA or BROWN was, my bad!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i think the title is cute

― jones (actual), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:39 (twenty-one years ago)

amt i think that's a reductive readin of all the wird-old-america folk culture that went into that (and one that dylan has ALWAYS somewhat been fightin)

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

velvet goldmine is the name of a hyper-queer bowie b-side (as you all probably know)

speaking of Dave Van Ronk:

FUCK I simply cannot do html.

― shookout (shookout), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

all u need is an i before the addy, shookout, tho i think there are probs linking to amazon images at the mo.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

er, anyway I cannot wait to read this book.

― shookout (shookout), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i guess my "ruling paradigm" is kogan/marcus in ref.this topic (ie between them they made me not bored abt zimmie)

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

that elephant thread is more interesting than the film

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

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Friday, 25 March 2005 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

And I've tried.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Friday, 25 March 2005 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

He really likes Dylan's music, if that's what you're wondering, Am.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

if someone feels like emailing me the shooting script, i wouldnt be adverse to reading it.

― anthony, Friday, 25 March 2005 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

ooh me too please

― jones (actual), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

mark has frank k written about dylan outside ilx (and if so where please)?

― jones (actual), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

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

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

― The Yellow Kid, Saturday, 26 March 2005 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

haha

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.

James Lyons, 46, Film Editor and Actor, Dies

By EDWARD WYATT

James Lyons, a film editor whose most notable collaborations were with the director Todd Haynes on several feature films, including “Safe,” “Velvet Goldmine” and “Far From Heaven,” died Thursday in Manhattan. He was 46 and lived in Brooklyn Heights.

The cause was squamous cell cancer, which followed more than a decade of treatment for H.I.V., his brother Patrick said.

Mr. Lyons, often billed as Jim, gained notice for both his acting in and editing of “Poison,” Mr. Haynes’s 1991 triptych, which won the grand jury prize at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival.

Mr. Lyons acted in several other films, including “Postcards From America” (1994), in which he played the artist David Wojnarowicz, an advocate for AIDS awareness. But it was as an editor that he primarily identified himself; among his other editing projects was Sofia Coppola’s 1999 film, “The Virgin Suicides.”

A member of Act Up, the AIDS awareness organization, in the 1990s, Mr. Lyons said he saw film as a medium to spread awareness of the disease. At his death, he was preparing to direct a short film about Andy Warhol.

Mr. Lyons is survived by his partner, Terrence Savage of Brooklyn Heights; his mother, Gladys M. Lyons of Port Jefferson Station on Long Island; four brothers, Patrick, of Port Washington, N.Y., an editor in the continuous news department at The New York Times, Timothy, of Port Jefferson Station, Thomas, of East Longmeadow, Mass., and John, of Pleasanton, Calif.; and a sister, Claire M. Roff of Massapequa Park, N.Y.

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."

I'm glad that guy reported on it, but Twitter journalism, Jesus.

it's pretty easy to find a torrent if you know where to look. it's great.

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 (seventeen years ago)

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.

― ❉❉❉❉❉❉❉❉Plaxico❉❉❉❉❉❉❉❉❉ (I know, right?), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:14 (seventeen years ago)

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

― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:24 (seventeen years ago)

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

― The Citizen Kane of Alcoholic Clown Movies (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:29 (seventeen years ago)

no wait I think I'm mixing that up with Safe.

― The Citizen Kane of Alcoholic Clown Movies (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:29 (seventeen years ago)

Safe freaked me out.

― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:29 (seventeen years ago)

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

― Soukesian, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 18:35 (seventeen years ago)

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

http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmemo/2009/08/winslet-game-for-mildred-pierce-.html

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."
