Fritz Lang’s The Big Heat (1953)

This is cool. It’s also pretty funny how effortless the prop guy was on set. That’s the thing with this stuff, there is so much incompetence and emptiness and dead ‘work’. it’s dulling. I still think the casting is impecabble. The stars are dull as fuck. The bad guys are pretty cool. There are a few night exterior shots which I was looking forward to but fucking Lang still makes it look like a freaking set. I think this falls in the category of unrealistic cinema. Kissing scene is very good though.

there is no doubt this jean louis person had shit on lock on the set of Lang’s film. I wonder what that Nazi ordered him to do, to not say ‘threatened’ him to do, for his fancy little movie. It is so fancy and rich of little details like eight extras in the background with fancy detailed feathered hats (see other pics). And we can see where Godard stole his way of filming people in cafés, really cool and posing. Only bad thing is that it’s so measured and posed and german. You want some space, some air, some time passing……

i really can’t wait for doomsday. dunno whats gonna happen exactly but it sounds exciting. this tag i keep seeing around town really deliberately written like that. i don’t know but whenever i pass it i just can’t wait for doomsday. i guess everyone will be shopping when it comes. i hope they hit the news stations first and then tap into the signal and broadcast cool movies. educate some people thats what doomsday is about.

thats in the back of a friend’s building. really fancy stuff the doorman would not let me in. had to wait for him i figured I’d shoot some rats and listen to the train go by. the doorman looked like he was in a fellini movie gesturing and all blocking my way to the elevators. those elevators have a particular sound. the drone of the fan with some kind of faint electronic looop. and the pattern inside is jade green. you’re gonna have to picture that.

we were looking for a way out some alley and this dog showed up in some backyard. Did not have the time to check the light but figured it would look something like this. Really the only light is whatever reflected off him. I put it green for now. Maybe switch it to blue for something else later on.

yes it is out west. we must work even when it is cold and far. it may look like some kind of quiet place but everyone can get you fake id’s anywhere anytime. it’s a strange place where children play video games while their older siblings deal drugs and forge documents. strange times right now with the economy down. strange economies.

for a certain section of downtown montreal you can cross thru alleys and parking lots between st-catherine and maisonneuve. this between crescent and de la montage. always mad thoughts in the area.

another metro wall. it really looks like something crazy you wouldnt want to hang around there.

this one is barely rescuable. but i just had to show it to you guys. looks like a watts back alley with the oldie. i think it even had hydraulics hooked up. cant remember where it is exactly. somewhere between rachel and st-joseph between drolet and hotel-de-ville for those who know plateau area. i hate it, moving to verdun soon hopefully.
