The Thousands

Andy Warhol, you were a jerk.The anti-pop film makers being screened at Photochemical Underworlds would have thought so too. But that’s what precluded post-modernism, right – we’re all just big jerks now, stealing everyone elses ideas and actors, and making like we still have the edginess of The Grateful Dead. Well I have news for you, Andy: not everyone is a jerk despite what you may have hoped. Ron ‘I have a porn star name’ Rice shared your actors and his films weren’t about consumerist existentialism. Robert Nelson actually loved movement. Ira Cohen probably hated your cold rationalism. It’s not that you were a bad guy, Andy, just that you actually didn’t have a soul. Maybe I’ll see you at the Photochemical Underworlds screening and you can prove me wrong.
