Yes, somebody did mention the fascinating Road to Salina, in the prior thread, and it reminded me that I recently succumbed and did something I rarely do, which is acquire what is, for all intents and purposes, a bootleg disc of that film. Which I haven’t looked at in its entirety yet. But judging from the screen cap I just got from it, it ought to be pretty decent, quality-wise.
How do I justify my ethical lapse? As you may have suspected, I blame it on my sick thing for Mimsy Farmer. Which means I really should be seeking out/clamoring for a DVD, or Blu-ray disc, or print, after which I can buy a projector to show it with, of avant-garde filmmaker Lewis Klahr’s 1987 Her Fragrant Emulsion, a sorta Rose Hobart style short composed of Farmer’s nude rompings from the Georges Lautner film. Fat chance.
Just a little bit of jouissance here, as I plug away at my soon-to-come Blu-ray Consumer Guide, which is turning out to be more labor-intensive than I had anticipated. Also preparing to spend the weekend at scenic Long Beach Island, New Jersey, where I’ll be participating in the Lighthouse Film Festival, subject of a nice little Wall Street Journal piece here. So I don’t know what to tell ya right now, except hello and enjoy Mimsy.
I know nothing about Road to Salina but I just about jumped out of my seat when I saw Lewis Klahr mentioned. I had the chance to see “False Aging” twice this past semester and it blew me away. I really would love to get a hold of Klahr’s other material. For anyone that wants to, False Aging can be watched here (although it doesn’t do the film justice): http://tinyurl.com/28nu65e
A Mimsy Farmer interview has been conducted and is being prepared for the someday pages of Video Watchdog. : )

God, yes. Mimsy in “More”. Even in “Riot on Sunset Strip”. Is she still working?
Enjoy Mimsy, indeed. Thanks for the photo of the girl with the far away eyes.
Also, I feel obliged to mention that, as I type, four DVDs of Lewis Klahr’s film work (from 1983–2004) are being prepared for release this summer. And, yes, the Mimsy-ific HER FRAGRANT EMULSION will be included on one of the discs. They’ll be available exclusively at the Wexner Center for the Arts’ bookstore and website: http://store.wexnercenterstore.com/index.html
Mimsy rocks. The sexuality that she brings to Delmer Daves’ “Spencer’s Mountain” is not only unexpected but downright palpable. I always found her compulsively watchable.
