Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean

This past Thursday night, Seattle International Film Festival held the world premiere of Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean at the Egyptian Theater. I was lucky enough to be in the packed audience. In attendence were the director/writer, Matthew Mishory, several producers, the cinematographer, Michael Marius Pessah, and the three main actors, James Preston, Dan Glenn, and Delilah Rain. Done in black and white, with several technicolor/super 8 color sequences, the film was beautifully made. The dialogue was real and conversational, and never felt forced or rehearsed. Preston portrayed Dean remarklably well. There were scenes in which he had the same attitude, look, and swag that Dean was so well known for. Dan Glenn added a poignancy to his role as the roommate, and Delilah Rain was demure and glamorous, just as an actress in the ’50s is thought to be. An “inside” look at Deans life, this is most definitely not yet another James Dean biopic. Joshua Tree was not meant to glorify Dean’s lifestyle, but show the pain and troubles that he endured during that time of his life. Not sure if this film will be out in theaters or on DVD/ondemand/netflix anytime soon, but keep an eye out for more from Mishory, Preston, Glenn and Rain!

Raisins

  • Sam: You don't like raisins?
  • Joon: Not really.
  • Sam: Why?
  • Joon: They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council.
  • Sam: Did you see those, those raisins on TV? The ones that sing and dance and stuff?
  • Joon: They scare me.
  • Sam: Yeah me too
  • Joon: It's sick. The commercial people they make them sing and dance so people will eat them.
  • Sam: It's a shame about raisins.
  • Joon: Cannibals.
  • Sam: Yeah. Do you like avocados?
  • Joon: They're a fruit you know.
  • Sam: Ruthie, do you got any avocados?

Thank you, Supernatural

Just did a project for my german class on Albrecht Durer’s “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. Not even ashamed to admit 90% of what I knew about it came from watching Supernatural.
