this scene of connichiro as joe meek hurrying down the hallway of his house with his gorgeous, gigantic breasts bouncing all over the place has literally recalibrated my sexuality.
Telstar: The Joe Meek Story. Con O’Neill 2008. Based on the true story of music producer Joe Meek. This film is so beautiful and tragic and devastating. Con’s performance is flawless and stabs you right in the heart. This is another one that makes me want to hold Con while he cries and pet his hair and make sure he’s ok. Joe tries so hard and just gets ground down and screwed over by life and people he trusted at every turn. Like the real story, there’s no happy ending here. Just the knowledge that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, life is just fucked. But that’s not the takeaway from the this movie. No. Something unique and exquisite comes from Joe’s tortured mind. He does change the world of music, even as his talent is not recognized until long after his death. Joe Meek is a beautiful and tragic character, brought to life by Con O’Neill’s unparalleled and heartbreaking talent.
I’m trying to review every entry of Con’s filmography and I’ve got a few to choose from. I’d like to wait on Izzy since that’s going to need to be more than one entry. I’ll be reaching out for fanart to showcase for that one.

Photography project for art school - beloved object and its counter point. (45rpm record and a hammer)
i used to be one of the people who get disturbed by people destroying records for art.
inspired by Ai Wei Wei smashing Han dynasty pots- this record, while i love Telstar, is also a mass produced object and moreover a part of consumption culture/capitalism(admittedly i'm not sure capitalism was a thing when those clay pots were made). i'm not sure my reverence for the medium is rightly placed just because i love the contents.
i dont think i would have smashed any of my records. but this song was a garangutan hit( 5mio copies sold) and i know that good transfers exist of it so nothing is lost by destroying one i purchased for 50ct without a sleeve. also i have another copy of it. see my waffling about consumption etc makes sense now.
