Jello Talent Show *

* (restored)

 

 

In Cecil B. DeMille’s 1923 silent film, The Ten Commandments, Jell-O was used to create the parting of the sea effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bompas & Parr have teamed up with Selfridges to create a crazy 9-hole golf course with hazards made of jello.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend and I turned our faces into edible Jello sculptures.

p.s. Hey. ** Dominik, Hi!!! I loved Prater. I loved how out of date and handmade it seemed. Plus it has so many dark rides, which are my favorite rides. I only wish it had actually fully opened so I could’ve ridden them all, but its opening was very slow and lazy/sleepy, and I had to leave to do my event at a certain point. It doesn’t have the dazzle and potential to amaze of newer, larger parks, but it was very charming. What did you think? Sometimes festivals invite you and put you up, but it’s pretty rare. Anita’s theory makes a lot of sense. Did love get an answer to his question? Or should I say a satisfying answer? Love making jello and discovering too late that it’s evil, G. ** _Black_Acrylic, Ryan Trecartin is such a genius. I’ve heard such mixed things about ‘Weapons’ that I think I’ll wait for your review before I plop down the 15 euros. ** Steeqhen, Well, yes, the past is full of extraordinary things that deserve better than being seen as examples of the good old days. Turloughs, huh, very interesting. I’ll see what I can see. ** Alice, Life has been tolerant of me and vice versa. So great that you’re in an inspired phase and that you’re dedicated to mining it. That’s the best. Of anything really. I think. Thanks for watching some of the films. ‘Genesis’ is beautiful, yeah. Luck galore the employment hunt. Few things are more nagging and disruptive. A successful week on the art and financial fronts. That would be quite a hat trick. ** Carsten, Pat O’Neill is great. Very underrated artist/filmmaker, and ‘Water and Power’ is kind of his biggie. Lyon, right, I always forget that Spain is southwest of Paris. My geography is not stellar. 6-7 hours of driving is solid. Great about Duende Day! Whenever you’re ready and like. Thanks! A lot of Parisians leave in August. However, the area I live in is pretty touristy, so the city doesn’t seem to empty out around me just change its population and maybe even increase its population if anything. I like it. The August vibe is very curious and wide eyed. Like me really. The cool weather has arrived, and please dear god, let it stick. ** Hugo, Enjoy England. The weather should be decent there, I think. Thanks about the films. Oh, thank you about ‘Like Cattle Towards Glow’. Zac is the one who placed Adam Lanza’s pic in the first scene. I don’t think he had some big obvious reason other than it making a weird sense that enhanced the scene somehow, but I’ll ask him again. Also that Lanza pic is an artwork by John Waters, and maybe that had to do with it. You have a good or hopefully gooder one too. ** Jeff J, Hi, Jeff, old buddy! Thanks re: the films. Full-time teaching, whoa. Very good subjects there. I’ll check the new EPs, cool. Sure, a Zoom sounds good. Monday, September 1 should work for me, yes. Give me a plan. Ideally talk soon! xo. ** HaRpEr //, The trilogy is amazing, but I’ve seen some of the newer works that are almost impossible to see because their financier/owners are insisting on keeping them under wraps, and they’re amazing — set in and kind of about the construction of Ryan/Lizzie’s theme park in progress. Owen Land’s work is wonderful, but, of course, hard to see. Maybe physically constructing the ‘RT’ haunt was instructive, but the ‘RT’ haunt is deliberately kind of shitty and of course we want to make a dazzling haunt. But, yeah, the building aspect taught us some stuff. I kind of love London Dungeon, but I haven’t been since they moved it. I suppose it’s probably kind of the same. ** Nicholas., Ouch. Healing vibes, you’ve got them. I’ve gotten bronchitis twice, and I think that’s the only tenable bad smoking consequence, but of course my bod could be full of cancer, who knows. I never feel sexy, but I think if I did I would feel sexier when bundled up in winter clothes for some reason. ** Uday, Hi. I saw that that ‘Destroy … ‘ book exists, but not what’s in it. I don’t think I’ll order it, that would be too embarrassing. You iron? I’ve never ironed in my life. Oh, except I did try to iron my hair as youth when I had long hair because I thought it was too curly, but it didn’t work. ** Right. Super easy restored post for you to do something with today. See you tomorrow.
