Didn't make it to Saturday but Sunday's shenanigans were a blast. What a woman!!! I've waxed lyrical on Chris's triumphant talent before here. In her festi-van, we hung out with Grace who calmly lifted up my glasses, ensnaring me with a soft steel glaze, and asked if I'd being doing ecstacy!
Those who know me well, know I so don't drink or do drugs; maybe my dilated pupils were from being in the presence of such a tigress!!! Grace still looks strikingly beautiful, such a mutli-talented 80s icon and real celebrity unlike so many manufactured stars.
She had, and still has the look and such style. Where were we? The only other females I can think of who exude such powerful, provocative performances are Bjork and Madonna. All 3 are super-stylin' femme-Pop-Culture right across all media. Grace is working low-key on a new album and promised me an in-depth interview for 'The Rinse' next week, so keep it locked!!!
When I was a yoot! Cue the extreme contrast, a first time features director , no rich special effects, seriously low budget indie-production Cruise's monthly hotel bill could have been 'Kidulthood's' total costs!
More electric than the very lightning bolts from those 'War Of The Worlds' tripods. The edgy, provocative flexings on film touched a raw nerve in everyone, who gasped, laughed, and winced in unison, loudly. Kidulthood incredibly captures a shocking snapshot of an ugly UK urban underbelly; this film will easily join the cult iconic ranks of Quadrophenia , City Of G-d , Lock Stock , even Pulp Fiction ; it really is that good, Yes, life imitated art here as this film slapped me hard in the face!!
