Grizzly Man
Grizzly Man
Anyone seen the trailer for Grizzly Man yet? It's the new Werner Herzog documentary, and it looks absolutely amazing. Check out the trailer, and also let me know if you've seen Herzog's other recent docu-/mockumentary, Incident at Loch Ness.
I'll be out of commission for the next few days. I'll be in Vegas not gambling. Instead I'm going to be in a Las Vegas hair show playing a flamboyant French Restoration-ite (French Restorer?).

Hair Show? Come again?
eric, read this post:

and you'll understand :)
HAVE FUN BEING FLAMBOYANT!!! too bad i can't watch, for some reason i think it would be HILARIOUS!!!
Well, yes, but "French Restoration-ite"? Do you play a character of some kind?
Perhaps my mental picture of a "hair show" is a little off.
Oh man, you're going to have to post pictures on your blog. What's the name of this hair show anyway?
Oh, and I have heard of Grizzly Man. They did a write up about it in this months Esquire. In the article they compare it to the new Gus Van Sant movie that's "loosely" based on the suicide of Kurt Cobain (with loner subjects being the linking factor). The authors general impression was Grizzly Man=good faux-Cobain-suicide movie=bad.
Anyway, Hair show pictures.
And Eric if you're still having trouble with the concept of a hair show, you might want to check out the movie "Hair Show", starring the lovably zoftig and sassy Mo'Nique.
Once again, hair show pictures.
ok, so i just finished watching "the corporation" and i can totally see why ray anderson is your new hero... he seemed like the ONLY CEO they interviewed who actually took responsibility for his companys actions of his own free will and did not have to pressured into anything by lawsuits or demonstrations. it makes me sad though to hear things like the "milk story" and how it got quashed by the corporate system. also very interesting is that a corporation wants to be "a person", right, but when the world health organization tests a "corporate person" for mental disorders, "he" passes all the tests that label "him" a pschopath... interesting... these are the people who will one day "OWN" us as a people because they can fight for and win the ability to own GENES! it's comforting to know that one day the entire population of the planet and all resources on the planet (including water) will one day be owned by a bunch of clinically-proven psychopath! :)
Anderson's definitely the only CEO who openly admitted his and his company's faults, and then set up a game plan to fix them. Even the other CEO's who claimed to be dedicated to preserving the environment and to upholding basic human rights wouldn't change their company policies to reflect this attitude. Kind of sad, really.
On the other hand, you've got companies like Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream whose mission statement not only reflects a positive drive to promote basic values while simultaneously turning a profit, they also provide a link for more information about the genocides
in Darfur that explains the situation there and how one can help. I'd say that's above and beyond, and I think that the trend of corporations with a conscience are on an up-swing.

Here's the scoop on the hair piece (no pun intended) called "Hair Peace" (pun intended) in which I was a participant:
(Each bit has music appropriate to its respective style and/or era)
It starts off with a hairless being looking curiously around the crowd at their various hairstyles. He leaps off the stage when he sees 1)a Spanish dancer, 2)a couple of early Hollywood stars, 3)an African tribal couple, 4)a couple from the French Restoration (yours truly plus one), 5)a Native American, 6)a couple of Hungarian gypsies, 7)a Japanese couple (specifically a geisha [Jessie] and a samurai), 8)a dancer from Peru and 9)a dancer from India. After seeing this wide variety of cultural hairstyles, the hairless being bursts forth (from beneath the train of my partner's dress) now sporting a technicolor dreamcoat© with matching crazy hair. Hooray!
So yes, in a sense I was playing a character. Most of the other shows were people cutting hair to bad industrial music and strobe lights on stage. It was pretty grueling to watch.
