The only thing better than watching 6.5 hours of the cremaster cycle is doing it with some asshat who has his computer open next to you and is typing away every minute or so.
And they took that into consideration, econoline, and stopped with the typing. Your welcome. I hope the remaining 5.5 hours were bliss for you … if you were there in person, that is.
1 was enjoyable. 2 was a bit darker. Definitely worth the admission price and was pleasantly surprised at how crowded it was!
hi! i was a few rows ahead and on the right. too bad your experiment didn’t work out, i was really interested to see what you had to say about the whole thing.
we didn’t stay for the extra bonus film, 5 bouts of matthew barney was enough. awesome show, totally glad i went.
for those of us that were there and so weren’t able to follow the live slog, will there be a transcript posted?
Wineslogging: When they ask you to stop typing and just let you sit in the back row and drink wine.
Bonus film started with a 15 foot wang… Had the requisite vaseline. I don’t think there were any balls in it though… Oh wait! I think the gourd/onion butt-plug counts. (vaseline and balls are of course two major props in the Cremaster cycle)
I would have loved to have read some Stranger thoughts in regards to the Greenman character humping the drive-shaft of the big cat rig and essentially polishing his knob with it… Personally I was a tad turned on until he squirted poo from his dead Golden Lion Tamarin onto said drive shaft and continued to polish his shaft. WTF?!? What I did just watch?
I don’t know if this comment will be deleted but I am not making this stuff up. I only saw Cremaster 3, 4, 5 and De Lama Lรขmina. Weirdly enough I find I really like them all despite some of the deeply disturbing imagery. Going to see 1 and 2 soon.
this must be a great show, a really interesting one indeed.
