So pussy riot thinks they can go into a church and disrupt the service just because they dont like the prime minister.
well how cool is that.
the fact is it aint cool.
If you want to make a protest then fine but screaming your tits off in church is not the way to go about it.
And Madonna claiming that art hasa resposnsibility to politics aint in the realms of reality either.
And worst of all they cant sing.
Yowling is not singing.
Had to laugh at the op-ed item in the dompost today by film producer (sic) Tui Ruwhiu trotting out the same old litany about new zealand movies.
Look Tui the fact of the matter is this.
Most New Zealand Movies stink and bark like dogs.
Its all very well gathering up the cash and the company and telling each other that somehow you have the goods and kiwi, kiwi, kiwi and where did you put my red socks but until people in New Zealand start reading real books and have the capability to understand real people then you are just wasting money for the sake of it.
Most Kiwis think if they have read Proust then they are cut above the rest of us but if they want to make films then start reading comics.
Think of Chilen silver miners going two miles underground every day and dying early of bad lung disease just so precious Kiww "artistes" can produce something that nobody else in the world really wants to see.
dig.
Last night I watched a 1941 period piece called DIVEBOMBER starring Erool Flynn and Fred MacMurray that had more dramatic tension in the first five minutes than 50 Kiwi movies lined up one fter the other.
And the other thing is that anybody in New Zealand who has any streak of originality or heaven forbid, an idea gets squashed immediately so they dont show the rest of the ruperts and rolands up.
"Divebomber"
Choc full of marvellous air to air photography that is just superb and chilling when one realises that these machines were out of date by 1941 and the aeroplanes in this movie were possibly the same ones that the United States Navy used at the battle of 'Midway".
Oh yes and while we are on the past I pulled out some old Music World music videos last night.
The Golden Age of Rock and Roll Vol 2, 1964.
About 20 singers from the BBC's top of the Pops including the Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Hollies and Dusty Springfield duetting with the Swinging BLue Jeans.
Fantastic.
Mick and the boys did Not Fade Away and Time Is ON MY Side.
Too much charisma already.
They just ate it up.
NO one else could touch them!
anyway the point is this.
on the reverses into the crowd the people were enjoying themselves.
NOt posing or trying to look cool or wearing some other sort of gear to identify themselves with some group or movement.
Yes it was different back in 1964.
People enjoyed themselves.
