There are no interpretations
but only misinterpretations.

THE ANXIETY OF INFLUENCE

What strange blue world
with such brave
and resilient people
in it.
Yeah,
that's right,
the poor ol' Gardevil here,
back to dismay
and delight ya.
And speakin'
of delightfully dismayin',
I am usin'
my lonesome self-isolation
to
rethink and rewrite
the essays
on
Sofia Coppola
and
Richard Rush,
so stay tuned
for more insights
to occupy
your lonesome self-isolation
blues.
!Stay healthy-
and remember,
the truth is
still
the better virus!
!!SO BE IT!!

And in the
So Be It Department,
everybody knows
that 2020
is the thirtieth
anniversary year
of the release
on August 22, 1990
of
the twilit and allegorical
Allan Moyle
'rant and roll' film,
PUMP UP THE VOLUME (1990).
So cease to resist
your wistful nostalgia,
and commune with this
fine film
and
Saint Slater, Saint Mathis
and
Saint Morrissette
as much as possible
this year-
and blog hard!
Of course,
2020
is also
the fortieth
anniversary year
of
the release
of the allegorical
Richard Rush film,
THE STUNTMAN (1980),
so clearly
it is time
to experience
all of the film art
of Rush,
rethink and rewrite

Nobody is too small
to make a difference,
Gardevil!

?And isn't it
wryly amusing
and amazing
how fantabulous
Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
of the
George Lucas book
become
when films are pondered
in
chronological order-
now can I do the same
for
Chapters 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10?
Also
check out
the
Don Coscarelli
'essay'
for
an exciting
new re-re-revised
look-
take 18!,
in ultra cool
!STEALTHORAMA!-
at
the presciently
and triumphantly twilit
and allegorical film,
THE BEASTMASTER (1982)
and
the
T.V. 'Terry Baby' Gilliam
'essay'
for a
radically revised
interpretation
of
the twilit and allegorical film,
BRAZIL (1985).
!Radical, dude!

The truth is always best.
The only trouble is -
what is the truth?
