Blue Velvet at ACMI

September 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is showing the incendiary Lynch film Blue Velvet tomorrow night at 10pm. The ACMI cinema is at fed square, and if you haven’t been there before, they have an amazing cinemateque program. I’ve seen Blue Velvet about eighteen billion times (in dog years, thats like, what, twelve?) but I’ll be there with bells on, as will several others. Admission price is irrelevant, as anything Lynchian immediately transcends the banality of legal tender.

hmmmm Lynch Lynch Lynch Lynch…. what can I possibly say about this man? OH I know! The time I spent watching Eraser Head deprived me of two hours of my life.

WHO WE IS

Paul Verhoeven (right) is on Triple J, as host of the Weekend Breakfast Show. He is a writer and film critic for Yen Magazine, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.

Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.

Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.
