THE FILM THAT PUT SCORSESE ON THE PROVERBIAL MAP -- ARRIVED IN NIPPON NEARLY A DECADE LATER.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a rare 1980 movie poster design for 1973's "Mean Streets," the Martin Scorsese crime drama classic w/ Robert De Niro & Harvey Keitel (this was the film's first Japanese theatrical release).
MINI-OVERVIEW: "Celebrated as one of the most original American films of all time, Martin Scorsese’s "Mean Streets" holds a firm place among the best crime films we ever had the pleasure of seeing. It’s not easy to pinpoint what exactly makes it so damn good — whether it’s the memorable Keitel-De Niro on-screen collaboration, master Scorsese’s direction or the screenplay Scorsese wrote with his fellow student and frequent writing partner Mardik Martin — but it hardly matters anyway. It’s definitely one of the cinematic high points of the 70s and, as Ebert put it, "one of the source points of modern movies.""
-- CINEPHILIA & BEYOND, "The Impact of Martin Scorsese's "Mean Streets""

In the early 1980s, a musical and cultural phenomenon emerged that would forever shape the landscape of popular music. This phenomenon was known as New Wave, and it brought with it a fresh and innovative approach to music, fashion, and art. New Wave was not just a genre; it was a state of mind, a rebellion against the established norms of the 1970s and a celebration of individuality and…

#so there's this person on twitter who is like an infamous drama starter and got a whole forum shut down once#and they wrote this (different) book that's one of the greatest so bad it's good things i've ever read#a few great things that happen in that:#characters get in a car crash and flee on foot. later it's casually mentioned one character had both her legs amputated 'due to fractures'#the character pretending to be american by wearing maga hats that have spy gear built into them#the spy gear in question is an alarm that blares if someone lies in their vicinity#'stuff protocol ' said the queen. 'i'm getting hammered tonight'#the chapter where the prime minister is trying to watch the news so she keeps wandering into bars and tv shops and getting kicked out#the dragon that's casually described as 'about the size of 1000 elephants'#the dragon that's a 'dog dragon hybrid with a chihuahua body and a giant dragon head'#the dragon that's owner punched it in the face and only lets people approach if they 'do the iconic royal wave'#the characters being described as 'the short one' 'the guy with the beard' etc#but there being a lengthy detailed description of the characters in harry potter#'apparently a dragon had burnt essex to cinders in a matter of minutes'#anyways i found out they also wrote (a political parody of indiana jones???) for this book of kids short stories years ago#and you know. we needed to know#so it took me like 4 months to track this precious lost media down#which was very worth it because it turns out it's full of many other iconic gems like CELLAR HELL by Elizabeth Elgie (12)

El Crimen del Padre Amaro (2002, Carlos Carrera) 🇲🇽
With release delayed a few months to avoid collision with the Pope's visit, around the time the Catholic church was being exposed for pedophilia all over the world, the film broke box office records in Mexico after the country’s Catholic leadership and conservative / anti-abortion groups tried to ban it, driving even more people to see it.
It proceeded to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards and won Best Picture at the Ariel Awards.

1981
Today, I'm sharing side B of the single "Can't Be Funky" by Bush Tetras released during the height of the post-punk era,
I love the band's powerful groove and Cynthia Sley's captivating vocals.
I tried to upload my own files from the "Boom In The Night (Original Studio Recordings 1980-1983)"compilation , to no avail...
