Besides the derogatory title (slang for child molester), Chicken Hawk’s pretty impartial as it follows several brazen members & the various persecutions they gotta endure!

MPP ART 4 SALE! I thought Last Days was wonderful but someone who grew up with Nirvana once told me they despised the movie & I said I understood because since I grew up with The Sex Pistols I despised Sid & Nancy (1986)! Chronicling the chronic humdrum of Kurt Cobain’s catastrophic collapse days before blowing his own brains out in 1994, Last Days translates (condenses or stretches, you be the judge) the mundanity of his eternal nod into 97 gloriously lensed minutes of confounding contemplation! Extended footages of the most infuriatingly monotonous & inconsequential elements transform the dreary into inexplicably poignant meditative moments!

MPP ART 4 SALE! Here’s an oldie dating back from the first year of my second stint at The Montreal Mirror. Early on I used to get more elaborate with my prose, in this instance turning my review into a saucy limerick! SPOILER ALERT: “All in all, a dumb movie, but I’m overly choosy, & I’m all for cheap yucks, but I’d rather spend my eight bucks, on a night home alone with my poo-poo!” This one’s on exhibition at this weekend’s springtime “Long Hauloween” party/fundraiser for the artist-run studio space Long Haul Studios (450 Beaumont Avenue, 2nd floor), so part of the proceeds are going to them, hence the different pricing.

MPP ART 4 SALE! During World War 2 Dr Seuss worked under (Colonel) Frank Capra making instructional & propagandistic animated & live-action shorts! Although his work’s been adapted often since, 5000 Fingers was the last Hollywood project Suess had a personal hand in, which he described of as the worst experience of his life! It’s achieved cult status over the years but Fingers was a flop when it first came out & during filming apparently one of the boys threw up on the giant prop piano causing a domino effect!
