Martin Scorcese on catharsis

That’s why we like to read a book, or listen to music, or see a really interesting film, where you feel a catharsis: it is play-acting, in a way, for us. But in life, there is none of that. The moment you try to grasp the moment, it’s gone.

The Typewriter, Rifle, and Movie Camera

A documentary on Sam Fuller, by Tim Robbins, Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino, including Martin Scorcese.

Intense man with the gift and wish for story telling.

Should watch "Pickup on South Street" perhaps... it was used a lot as footage. Also "Steel Helmet", and 'Shockproof'

Martin Scorcese - "Warming By The Devil's Fire" (disc 4)

With Ma Rainey, Son House, Charley Potten, Mildred Jones.

"Oh Brother Where Art Thou"-ish. Perhaps not the best...

uh

I wanted to write: "perhaps not the best music to code with."

But just right now Billie Holiday started with "I'm A Fool To Want You"... and there is always a good time for Billie Holiday.

Stephen James Taylor - "Give Me Freedom" : gospel, slightly dark.

Definitely a multiversed collection. Just had Eagle Eye Cherry, now Public Enemy. Not one of my favourite songs though. Or Tom Jones in duet Jeff Beck. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds!
