Rare Bob Dylan Concert Film Surfaces Online
Thanks to the miracle of internet uploading, Bob Dylan’s 1975 epic “Renaldo and Clara” is now available in all it’s 4 hour glory. The film includes electrifying performances from Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue tour as well as surreal scenes “scripted” by bad-boy playwright Sam Shepard. Since its infamous debut, Dylan forbids the film to be screened or released on DVD. Presented by the Sleepless Film Festival, Mr. Zimmerman’s epic is paired with its biggest influence – Marcel Carne’s “Les Enfants du Paradis” – and includes original poster art as well as reviews from Film Threat and Roger Ebert. Carne’s movie was filmed by Nazis and fugitive Jews alike in occupied France during WWII. The film is as miraculous as its incredible origins and it’s said that the movie has screened in Paris every day since it’s initial release.

In these two candid interviews, Rourke talks about his troubled childhood, his best films, the great Eric Roberts and the toughest role he’s ever played: himself.

‘Suicide Deer’ Leap To Death In Bloody ‘Quake Prediction
Will Friday’s (12/12/08) full moon trigger a natural disaster? The last lunar event of this kind coincided with the 2005 Tsunami.
Recent seismic activity, confused buzzards, kamikaze geese, Web Bot predictions, the Mayan 6th Day and five Indiana deer who inexplicably leaped from a freeway overpass, through the windshield of an oncoming 18-wheeler, all point to a coming wrinkle in the near-space-time.
Prepare for the worst with Jim Morrison, a claymation tour of Hell, The God Poseidon and some naked hippie girl riding on a horse.
