CINERAMA DOME

Not really a fan of reserved seating, but the Cinerama Dome on Sunset is an amazing place to see a film. Expansive curved screen, bone rattling sound, ushers that introduce the film before it starts, NO ADS, and no seating after 3 minutes into the film. The honeycomb ceiling is beautiful as well. A real throwback.

CHATEAU CREEPY CRAWLING

DOUBLE STANDARD

I guess I am officially ending my Summer of honoring Dennis Hopper with seeing the first show at MoCA in the "Deitch" era, DOUBLE STANDARD. Photos, paintings, sculpture, film and one security guard per museum-goer and a no-photo policy. Awesome. No, seriously an awesome show.

CHATEAU MARMONT (DISAPPEAR HERE)

Jim Morrison hung from the balconies, Led Zeppelin rode motorcycles through the lobby, and I clogged the toilet in room 62. Rock n roll.

ADIOS PALM SPRINGS

PALM SPRINGS MODERN

I like this building. A real "entry statement"

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK

when shit gets heavy....pack light.

CINEMANIAC

Seeing old movies in a movie theater is one of my favorite things to do, and NYC is a pretty good place to be if you are into this. Caught THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (1976) at Anthology on Saturday and the rarely shown Dennis Hopper documentary THE AMERICAN DREAMER (1971) at Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade on Sunday. I find that the douchebags and loudmouths tend to stay away from older films, so the experience is usually more relaxing and enjoyable.

P.S. 11

I wish my school had gotten some cool shit like this on it's walls. Os Gemeos and Futura collaboration at PS 11 on 21st street. Click 'em for some Futura detail. Nice.

HAPPY FRIDAY

p.s. Part 2 is the best one.

ENTER THE VOID

CAN NOT WAIT for the new GASPAR NOE film to hit. Just check the opening credits and your cerebral cortex will melt.

DAVID HOCKNEY/PAPER POOLS

In a David Hockney frenzy this Summer, for some reason. This 1980 book, PAPER POOLS, is an amazing look at a series of paintings done with colored paper pulp and handmade paper. Perfect Summertime reading for hammock and/or poolside, if you can be so lucky.
