SDFF Review: Wesley Willis’s Joyrides

Tweet The ride is not often joyous, but it is intensely interesting and, at times, emotional. The documentary, made by film makers Chris Bagley and Kim Shively, tells a very personal story of an oversized man, who has faced oversized adversities in his life in Chicago. A diagnosed schizophrenic who creates a following on a near cult status in the punk rock world, Wesley Willis works his way into people’s lives. Beginning with the art supply store, where they let him draw and paint, until he has an “episode” and they must ask him to leave, to the sidewalks of Chicago where he sells to a loyal clientele. One of the people he builds a bond with later becomes his band mate and his lyrics and style … Read entire article »

The VMA debacle

Tweet Trashwire’s own Pat Sue Gentry shares her thoughts on the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards… Watching the VMAs last night was, in a word, torture.  The only saving grace was Russell Brand, who managed to actually be entertaining during the ignominious joke of a ceremony we were all watching. At times it was more like the Kids Choice Awards then the VMAs, but during the Lil Wayne performances it sunk down to some kind of “Pimps Up, Hos Down Convention” in Vegas. The opinions and “messages” ranged from “promise to save sex for marriage”, to “give it up like free lunch”.  And we wonder why kids are confused. So now half of the music industry are born-agains, who think everyone else is a super slut? I was also left feeling like hip hop should … Read entire article »

The Bad Boys of Hollywood are Wimps

Tweet Pat Sue just posted this on her blog, Hostile Town Folk. We’ve re-posted it here because we’re cool like that. Where are the bad boys of Hollywood? All we hear about is Britney, Lindsey, and the queen of useless whores, Paris Hilton. Where are the boys who regularly broke the law, broke windows in hotels, and broke paparazzi lenses? Where I ask you? Robert Downey Jr. is sober and boring. Sean Penn is saving people in New Orleans instead of beating the shit out of paparazzi. Collin Farrell isn’t dating Hollywood starlets, but instead asking out the little Latina girl at the In-N-Out Burger window after buying his child a happy meal. Even Russell Crowe hasn’t thrown a phone or punched someone in months and months. It reminds me of having a bunch of … Read entire article »
