what's funny is that haynes seems such an unlikely person to be obsessed with bob dylan. in the sense that dylan's legacy has been "owned," or rather leased, of late by the sort of rock critics who emphasize his folk roots and so on. to the point where there isn't a pervasive sense of dylan as a pop persona, as a modernist figure. so i'm very interested to see where haynes goes with this. (i mean, it's hard to imagine haynes making a movie that concerns itself with, uh, different versions of "st james infirmary," simply because that's a strain of american culture the celebration of which takes on a certain role that seems anathema to haynes's own self-fashioned role in the culture. if that makes sense.)

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.

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.

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.
