Flere digte som Gondry-videoer - dobbelttrøjer unite!
- opdaterede mig på Michel Gondrys musik-videoer siden den store over 10 år gamle opsamling, her mine seneste favoritter, til kraftig inspiration, fikse ideer som et ideligt fix, håndlavet på funhavet:

At ralle i samme rille er rollespil for rullesten
Rolling Stones fylder 50, og jeg ønsker dybt tilfredsstillet tungebrækkende tillykke (men det er (instruktøren af "like A Rolling Stone-videoen) Michel Gondrys hemmelighedsfulde næste film, The We and the I, og ikke en evt. næste Stones-plade eller -tour, jeg venter utålmodigt på, tid er ikke altid på en kunstners side, men det er de som regel selv ude om!)

The worst of all words is milk
Den nye Michel (Eternal Sunshine, The Science of Sleep, Be Kind Rewind) Gondry-film, der må og skal ses (og læses), er ikke den oppustede og OK underholdende superheltefilm The Green Hornet, som jeg anmelder i næste nummer af Ekko, men en "film-book" (tegneseriebog + 20 minutter kort film på dvd) My New New York Diary, skabt i samarbejde med den canadiske indie-tegneseriekunstner Julie Doucet. Bog + film handler om og er lavet ved at Julie tager til New York og besøger Gondry for at lave en tegne/live action-/filmatisering af, at hun tager til New York og besøger etc. - fra og med hun er ankommet, bliver hendes tegnede alter ego udskiftet inde i tegningerne/tegnefilmen af hendes filmede selv, hvis I forstår hvad jeg mener!?
Filmen begynder genialsk med en sort skærm og (franske) Gondrys stemme, der på (gebrokkent) engelsk og med engelske undertekster i GULT udtaler følgende:
I can't stand when they put english subtitles to my english voice. I just say the words as I see them written. Why should I distort them to make the audience understand them? Take the word 'possible' for instance. I say it as I see it: 'possible' ... yet no one understands me. I mean I'm sure they understand but mock my accent. In order to have a proper pronounciation, I would have to destroy the writing before I read the word: Pawwwwwssible. The worst of all words is milk. MILK. MILK. No one ever gets me until I squeeze an imaginary breast ... which can be considered inappropriate.
Now that the subtitle situation has been explained ... I can start the story.
For a couple of years I had a stormy, episodic relationship with the independent comic book world. I had several attempts in merging my 24 frames per second world ... into its several frames per page world. I had noticed that the archetype of the female independent comic book artist is shy and egomaniac, discrete and self obsessed at once. Pardon my generalization, but it's based on a single example. An example that painfully aborted my colloborative ambition. Nevertheless, this trait of personality gave me the idea ... to put the author back physically in his own drawings.
