Movies and Books!

Posted by on April 8 at 1:23 PM

According to certain commenters, I am not allowed to Slog about war or diplomacy. Properly chided, I return to my humble sphere of arts and culture. Here is a website by the filmmaker/performance artist/writer responsible for Me and You and Everyone We Know. I endorse all of it except, perhaps, the Amazon link. Obviously you should buy books by Miranda July from Powell’s.

Wait, am I not allowed to write about books, either? Shit. Even books by filmmakers?

OK, fine. Here is a profile of the most astonishingly gorgeous, narrative-freezing actress in the whole entire world. Um, is India off-limits too?

Today The Stranger Suggests

Slow Ride (Club Night) What if you knew about this crazy-good club night, but no one else did? Would you tell people and risk the night going ballistic? Or would you keep it to yourself? Slow Ride—featuring ’70s and ’80s FM rock—is the best club night you haven’t heard about yet. The last time I went, hiphoppers played air drums to Billy Joel while students from Cornish danced all over. (War Room, 722 E Pike St, 328-7666. 9 pm, free, 21+.) TERRY MILLER
