I've had my picture taken with John Waters before but I'm almost more thrilled by that photo I took of him at MoMA last night because one senses half a sneer in it, as if he's thinking, "Who's this fucker taking my picture without permission?" And to be genuinely sneered at by John Waters is TO LIVE. I have LIVED. If a bus runs me over this afternoon tell everyone you know, HE FUCKING LIVED.
John and I were at MoMA hate-fucking each other with our eyes for a screening of 30/30 Vision: 3 Decades of Strand Releasing, which is a collection of 30 short films by prominent filmmakers who've worked with the Strand Releasing film distributor, who I'm sure you're aware of, especially if you're a gay man. I mean...
... how many of us came of age thanks to that little poof of smoke? Strand turns 30 this year and they celebrated with this collection, which included shorts by Mr. Waters, Gregg Araki, Cindy fucking Sherman, Bruce La Bruce -- whose short was called "Homage to Blowjob" and was a static shot of some guy's face as BLB himself (or presumably since he was credited) loudly, and I do mean loudly, choked on the guy's dick out of frame; for anyone who's enjoying the arty simplicity of Warhol's original "Blowjob" Bruce's valiantly obscene update was a terrific in-joke. The list goes on and on, see all the filmmakers included here, and below's a photo of some of the ones who showed up to the screening last night.
