BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Phil Clark This TV documentary was made for the UK BBC TV "Arena" strand in 1981, and shows some of the colourful residents of and people connected with the New York Chelsea Hotel. Some highlights include Andy Warhol and William Burroughs having dinner; Quentin Crisp pontificating in a blue rinse hairdo on his balcony and Nico forgetting what she is talking about halfway through a dour rendition of "Chelsea Girls". A number of lesser-known characters also appear, linked together by a tour guide walking around the building and some sub-Shining sequences of a child cycling round the landings on a rickety tricycle. Worth seeing. Also something of a time capsule, since one notices that most of those who appear are now no longer with us.
