Here you go, from the master of Quick Cuts, Pablo Ferro, his Clockwork Orange Trailer!

Here’s a short documentary on the legendary Hal Ashby. My friend Bob Downey was very close to him, I never met him. My other pal Pablo Ferro was one of his best friends and collaborators, he should have been in this doc. Anyway it’s a nice little tribute to a big talent.

Check out this amazing music from a cool 60’s Italian Space Opera, Antonio Margheriti’s I Diavoli Dello Spazio, Space Devils. This score by Angelo Lavagnino reminds me of a Jack Nitzsche 60’s production.

compare it to this by Nitzsche and The Wrecking Crew.

See what I mean.

SEE NYC in 1911. The Museum of Modern Art has transferred this footage shot in NYC in 1911 at the proper frame rate so people don’t run around like Keystone Kops on speed. They also added background sound, the result? It’s like taking a ride in a Time Machine, the people look and act like people(although dressed quite different) Check out the straw boaters a lot of men wear. The women’s clothes are pretty crazy too. It’s amazing to see these parts of NYC that are still there, like the Manhattan Bridge and my old neighborhood, 24th street and 5th across from Madison Square Park and the Flatiron building, The clock on the street is still there in front of what will be the Toy Center. Anyway travel back in time to where horses ruled the streets, marvel at the El Train and the crazy hats.
