The Man With The Beautiful Eyes

[Domator]

hey,
what do you think about this short animation by Jonathan Hodgson?
I think that is great short movie with very good poem and I like it. It have specific animation and easter egg at the end (Chinaski's shop :) ).

Are you on drugs, son?

No, I'm sorry Domator - it's not my 1st language either, but that is one
hilarious sentence! Wish I knew what you're on about...

 

[mjp]

I don't get it either, but your enthusiasm is commendable. ;)

I believe he's talking about that short based on that poem by B. I saw it long time ago. Maybe there's a DVD version which has easter eggs. that's what I understood. or maybe there's another DVD about B or based on B books which has the short as an extra.
Chinaski's shop must be an extra on that DVD, I guess.

Well, Chinnaski's at the end of animation was imo easter egg. World of animation became a piece of paper and this paper was in Chinaski's shop. For me it was smile for fans.

And english isn't my 1st language too so i'm sorry :)

It is actually because of this short film that I discovered and subsequently fell in love with Bukowski. It was a few years ago, but I do remember that it was good. It'd be great to see it again, where it all began.

 

[cirerita]

P2P will satisfy that longing!

I think we know what you are getting at. It is a clever reference. More of an In-Joke rather than what we might refer to as an Easter Egg.

I hadn't seen this for a while, but managed to find a disc with it on. The ending for those who haven't seen it is actually...

SPOILER - Click and Drag to highlight Text below...

As the camera pulls out from the streets where the kids are playing, we see a street map, then a map of the USA, that becomes a logo on an old typerwriter thats for sale in a shop called Chinaski's.

END of Spoiler

Its not a bad little film. Its a nice poem. If you haven't seen it, seek it out. Version I have has Italian subtitles. May require the DivX codec on your system to playback correctly.

Maybe his english is a little rusty.

Thanks Charlie.
Films like this really bring out the power of Buk's narrative poems.

'The Man With The Beautiful Eyes'

someone from Mary posted this quite a while back. I thought it was pretty cool. It's a reading of The Man With The Beautiful Eyes paired with a nifty cartoon someone drew. It's really very cool, in my opinion. anyway, i thought y'all might want to give it a look.

[David]

Does anyone know if The Last Night of the Earth Poems was the first appearance of "The Man with the Beautiful Eyes"?

 

[mjp]

That is the only known appearance. It was never published under another title as far as I can tell.

 

[Hosh]

So. Fucking. Awesome.
