Put This On, Episode 2: Shoes from Put This On on Vimeo.
In this episode we visit a famed shoe repair store in LA, and some good tips to dressing like an adult are presented. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about shoes the schnurrbart (moustache) on the man in the shop should be worth a peep.
Banksy’s new film is coming out today in America and will be screening in the Sunshine Cinema in New York. This should be interesting, and from what I understand, the artwork in the film is the creation of the artist Mr. Brainwash, a french street artist, whose very mediocre exhibition I recently caught in the meat packing district.

‘The fall will be wet, cold, and miserable – no point in denying it – so Helmut Lang offers to prepare you for it with this fall / winter 2010 collection. Knits keep your body warm, while slick outerwear pieces like colored trenches, and full peacoats keeps you dry. It’s a sensible, stylish, smart approach to a season we’re not in any hurry to see again.’ (definitive touch)

The oddly Poetic Timothy ‘Speed’ Levitch takes you on a trip through his personal post 9/11 New York. His adamant belief in New York as a living organism brought an entirely new perspective to me on how geography influences the lives we live. The highly stylized documentary is directed by Bennett Miller, who most will now from his other film Capote. I can highly recommend this emotional little film, and a fun fact: this happens to be Ed Norton’s favorite movie of all time.

The General. 1926. USA. Directed by Buster Keaton, Clyde Bruckman
This two-year screening cycle is intended to serve as both an exploration of the richness of the Museum’s film collection and a basic introduction to the emergence of cinema as the predominant art form of the twentieth century. The auteurist approach to film—articulated by the critics of Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s and brought to America by Andrew Sarris—contends that, despite the collaborative nature of the medium, the director is the primary force behind the creation of a film. This exhibition takes this theory as its point of departure, charting the careers of several key figures not in order to establish a formal canon, but to develop one picture of cinematic history.

I just stumbled over theauteurs, a new glossy site where you can watch “(…) visionary films that wouldn’t fill a single cinema in Belgium for a week – not even a day”.
- Great site for you that wants to see that specific (relatively unknown) movie. There is some really great stuff, and I think there’s more to come. Spend two hours watching, browsing and reading yesterday. Here’s some of what their humorous About-section also says:
“After all, not everyone can make it to the Cannes Film Festival—especially if you are a school teacher or you live in Winnipeg (or both)—but that doesn’t mean you can’t recite all of Kubrick’s films in reverse chronological order(…)”
And finally:
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where films come from, as long as they come from someone’s mind.
Are you in the mood for cinema? Welcome to The Auteurs.”
Go ahead and have a look, Martin Scorsese is waiting for you.
“P.S.—By the way, we’ve worked hard on the quality of the streaming and we are very proud of it… just wanted to let you know…”
