Until it is kindled by a spirit as flamingly alive as the one which gave
it birth a book is dead to us. Words divested of their magic are but dead

What an excellent idea...Good one...
I remember reading Tropic Of Cancer, Sexus & Tropic of Capricorn when I was teenager and was just blown away at the strength of his writing...I recall reading it on the train and hoping that no-one knew who HM was and what his writing was like...pretty strong stuff...
"It's the actions of men and not their intentions that make History"...Norman Mailer (another great great american writer...)...

heheh sounds like ME too. i have to be up at 8am.....eeep!
The movie was OK....aaliyah was so beautiful in it, but she wasn't in it much. so i dunno if i'd recommend it to highly. it seemed all style no substance if that makes sense!

yes it's the same person. she filmed this movie before. it's such a small role, they should have used her a lot more. such a shame. she was so talented, beautiful! the movie was dedicated to her, which was great. but again it's not too too good. and i LIKE vampire movies. ehhehe

"he's umm rather descriptive...."... lol..yep, you could say that...
Haven't seen that Movie but it's on my list...I totally dug into that European/American Bohemian vibe and discovered so many great writers that way. I got to Miller via NINs diaries....loads of stuff that never gets a mention unless you go to study at Uni or something (My major regret in life so far is not staying at school beyond 16...kinda had to educate myself)...
I've got my eye on BEAT at the video shop...the story of Burroughs & Kerouac & the beat writers...(with Courtney Love as Joan Burroughs...should be fun when she gets shot..;) ... Got a day off today so might get that and H&J and have a bit of a LIT fuelled day...

IS this the Anne Rice film?..Queen of the Damned...
I loved the whole decadent vibe of Interview but sequals are never as good...a pity as Rice can write so well...

yes it's Queen of the Damned. funny thing is (and i'm not a tom cruise fan) but i can't picture anyone else as Lestat, this guy was such a poseur! uuuggh
i was hoping it'd be scary .....NOT....or campy enought to be funny.....NOT. i mean it was entertaining they way a good TV show would be, but i dunno they shoulda had Rice write the script.
NIN is fantastic, and it's cool thats how you were introduced to Miller. He's a fantastic writer, his essays are amazing too. a lot of his books w/essays are out of print here, i have to search old bookstores for them. but it's well worth it to find a good book. The beat writers were good as well...i look forward to the seeing Love get shot.....ooops did i say that outloud..???..ehehhe

That is quite impressive pachi.
There is some graphiti by the train tracks I see on my ride into school everyday. "all your train are belong to us" unfortunatly some dumbass didn't get the joke and decided to correct the grammer and crossed out the word 'are' and added an 's' to train. Once it gets warmer I'm going to change it back.
