Cinema re-mix


This is the marquee of the moviehouse in East Hampton on this rainy Sunday. I like how the titles run together. CAPITALISM WILD THINGS pretty accurately describes some of the local bandit citizens with their mansions fueled by Wall Street dollars, and I am sure there's more than one CHANEL INFORMANT around here, too. NEW YORK MEATBALLS are sandwiched between the other options. There seems to be an invitation here to re-edit the movies into new juxtaposed versions, in which one text would comment on the other.

Meatballs Chanel? 1994-era drag queen from Provincetown, run out of town for stealing lobster buoys from Marine Specialties.

I'm pretty sure I have an old VHS copy of WILD THINGS NEW YORK somewhere...
