The Jersey City Library had a book on Fassbinder! Why? (It's like my home library which had the Foucault Reader. Huh? People outside of universities read him?) I took it out, of course. Too bad about computerized library systems, you can't see when people last checked a book out anymore! Oh well, I'm getting prepared for the Fassbinder Festival at Film Forum.

Have you ever read John Waters' essay "Guilty Pleasures"? It's about his love for pretentious art haus flicks. I relate as I have a soft spot for fillums about Crazy European Ladies (I saw Repulsion, The Piano Teacher, Romance, and A Ma Soeur in one year. YES!) Fassbinder tops Waters' list, awww. Actually, that reminds I have GOT to see Teorema, oooo Terence Stamp! (Oh, hey, I should watch that new movie about Fellini, then. The one that's showing in APRIL.)

The Llbrary also has mysteries titled Federal Fag and Government Gay, but I'm too shy to take them out.
