The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
In mid-1970s Savannah, two bright but rebellious boys, Francis Doyle and Tim Sullivan, fight boredom, hormones and harsh teachers as they struggle to find something meaningful beyond the walls of their parish school. Francis, an exceptional artist whose imaginative forays into a fictional universe of good and evil fill his notebooks with comic-book imagery, creates a netherworld of superhero alter egos for the two boys. When the ultra-strict Sister Assumpta seizes their artwork one day, the boys embark upon an obsessed trail of revenge that ultimately changes their lives.

Parfois,
parfois, la vie peut être très belle,
mais je sais toujours pas
le goûter de l’amour

Parfois,
je me peux sentir très perdue
mais quand je pense à toi,
ton essence fleurit en moi,

même si tu sais pas
qui je suis;
sais pas encore.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Many of the great artists of history have suffered from some form of mental disorder, and we often find ourselves fascinated both by their brilliance and their madness. Of course, as this documentary points out, none of us ever had to actually live with a Van Gogh or a Lord Byron and deal with the real world consequences of what went on in their heads.

In The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Jeff Feuerzeig gives us a rare glimpse into the tortured mind of just such brilliant artist by effectively combining interviews from those who have known Daniel Johnston best with Johnston’s own internal monologue. Feuerzeig achieves the latter because, apart from recording hundreds of songs on cassette tapes, Daniel recorded much of his life; from his mother screaming at him as a teenager to his arrest by park officials for painting Jesus fish on the Statue of Liberty to Johnston reading aloud about his own mental illness from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Many people came to know Daniel Johnston’s work in the early 90s when Kurt Cobain famously called him the “greatest songwriter on Earth” and wore a t-shirt with an image from one of Johnston’s hand-drawn album covers on the MTV Video Music Awards. Johnston’s raw and introspective songs were subsequently covered by Nirvana, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Beck, and many others. Sadly, just as his music was making inroads into the popular consciousness Johnston’s mental illness worsened (possibly accelerated by heavy LSD use), and his career and life entered increasingly troubled waters.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston works as a documentary about music, art, and mental illness all at the same time. It grants you unusual access to what’s going on inside a the mind of a human being bursting with creative talent while simultaneously struggling to control the demons that haunt him. After watching this, don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to hear more of Daniel Johnston’s work. ~ Maro Bertson

Like a cat who’s not yet used to it’s claws,
I’ll hurt anyone I try to adore.
I may be stretched out over your floor,
but I want to open your mind and not your jaw.

Did I make it too easy to hurt me?
Because you didn’t seem to struggle at all.

They say that it happens,
they say that nothing can be done,
but how could I listen,
when I was so in love?
I became your helpline,
you’d tell me the things that he’d do.
You’d fall apart over him,
and I’d fall apart over you.

The TV lights the room
Like a strobe against the wall.
I’ve watched all afternoon without watching at all.
I’m thinking of you dear,
Every moment I’m awake.
I tie my hands with woe, I want to escape.
Did I make a mistake?

There’s a demon on the loose.
He’s hid under our floor,
Cause he saw you late last night,
Knocking on my bedroom door.
I have fluids in my blood,
Pumping through my body’s veins,
And when I speak I don’t make sense,
But believe me when I say.

And I might be full
of my problems
if winter seems too cold
it means too
sharp

Just call me
an asshole
say what you want

but
I’m no tramp
you’re no lady
I’m no tramp
you’re no lady
I’m no tramp

To your hair
to your toes
are getting cold
see, I’m not for old fire
but

I’m no tramp
you’re no lady
I’m no tramp

Balance.
Repetition.
Proposition.
Mirrors.

Most of all, the world is a place where parts of wholes are described
within an overarching paradigm of clarity and accuracy.
The context in which makes possible an underlying
sense of the way it all fits together,
despite our collective tendency not to conceive of it as such.

But then again, the world without end is a place where souls are combined,
but with an overbearing feeling of disparity and disorderliness.
To ignore it is impossible without getting oneself into all of kinds of trouble,
despite ones best intentions to not get entangled with it so much.

Meanwhile,
the statues are bleeding green.
And others are saying things much better than we ever could;
as the quiet become suddenly verbose.

And the hails heralding the size of nickels.
And the street corners are gnashing together like the gears
inside the head of some omniscient engineer.
And downward flows the garnered wisdom that has never died

Then finally,
we opened the box, we couldn’t find any rules.
Our heads were reeling with the glitter of possibilities, contingencies…
but with ever increasing faith we decided to go ahead and just ignore them,
despite tremendous pressure to capitulate with fate.

So instead, we went ahead to fabricate a catalog
of unstable elements and modicums and particles.
With not zero total strangeness for brief moments which amount
to nothing more than tiny fragments of a finger snap.

Meanwhile,
we’re furiously seeing green.
And the map has started tearing along its creases due to overuse…
when in reality it’s never needed folds.

And the airs withholding the sound of its wellspring.
And our heads approach a density reminiscent of the infinite productivity of the center of the sun.

And therein lies the garnered wisdom that has never died.

”Expectation -
leads to disappointment. If you don’t expect something big huge and exciting…
usually…
I dunno,
just, uh yea…”

Into the Southern Wild
Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in the Bathtub, a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink’s tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he’s no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack, temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink’s health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.

Everything makes me nervous
And nothing feels good for no reason
Waking up, it’s rarely worth it
The same dark dread every morning

Senior year here in Mahwah
A new world just around the corner
Leave me behind, let me stagnate
In a fortress of solitude

Smoking’s been okay so far
But I need something that works faster
So all I want for Christmas
Is no feelings, no feelings now and never again

There is a faceplate all brown and red that stretches across my mouth
It’s worn for protection, nobody gets in and nobody gets out
I used to look myself in the mirror at the end of every day
But I took the one thing that made me beautiful and I threw it away

I was a river, I was a tall tree, I was a volcano
But now I’m asleep on top of a mountain, I’ve been covered in snow
Yes, I have surrendered what made me human and all that I thought was true
And now there’s a robot that lives in my brain and he tells me what to do

And I can do nothing without his permission, that wasn’t part of the plan
So now in Rock Ridge pharmacy I will be waiting for my man
But there is another down in a dungeon who never gave up the fight
And he’ll be forever screaming, sometimes I hear him say, on a quiet night, he says

“You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser now”

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser

You will always be a loser
You will always be a loser now

And that’s okay

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 07:47:00 -0500

I’m parting the sea between brightness and me
Before I drown myself and everyone and everything

I got my hands behind my back
With two fingers overlapped

Because I can never keep my word
And I share with the undeserved
For some cheap acceptance in return

The water will shape the sides,
and I’ll walk with my head held high
And when it all comes crashing in,
It will be worth it if I’m still breathing

If actions speak louder than words
I’m the most deafening noise you’ve heard
I’ll be that ringing in your ears
That will stick around for years

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:06:39 -0500

No, I don’t trust them, and I think that you’re one of them
yeah, god’s got plenty, but he can’t get enough of them
they’re taking taxes in the temple of Jerusalem
and charging virgins for their stables in Bethlehem

I know you think you’re right
but you might not be right
I know you think I’m wrong
but I might not be wrong

I shouldn’t be laughing but I think it’s hilarious
somebody died but they’re refusing to bury him
he took his sword and pulled a Judas Iscariot
and now they’re waiting on some burning chariot

But you might not be right

A herd of pigs is lying dead in the water
I swear: all I wanted were the demons cast from my daughter
but now the congregation’s angry at the useless slaughter
as if i should have taken her out back, like a dog, and just shot her

You might be right
but you might not be right

The Comedy

A brilliant film about absolutely nothing

You see them all the time, young adult hipsters doing nothing productive; sitting around drinking fancy coffees, sharing big ideas but taking no actions. So what happens when these ambition-less, wandering people are forced to grow up and confront actual problems, the actual day to day existence that they have always disparaged and looked down upon. This film follows Tim Heidecker’s character as he juggles with his haze-ridden, alcohol-filled youth and the oppressive responsibility that looms over him as he just tries to continue his youthful fun at the expense of others. A film about not wanting to grow up but finding out there’s a time when adult-hood just takes you and as much as you wish and hope and fight to maintain your existence, you find it disappearing underneath your canvas shoes. A compulsive jokester/liar using his version of truth to have things done his way. A man unable to be serious in a world that values your mask more than yourself but when you can’t turn it off, you drive away the people closest to you because even you prefer knowing the impersonal version of self. A child at heart who doesn’t have the answers and may never have the answers to a problem that’s so hard for many of us. Life. - Raj Jawa
