movies
Friday night movie night:
Thank You for Smoking about tobacco lobbyist played by Aaron Eckhart who is a glib apologist for big tobacco. Well done but someone needs to tell me how it ends. The DVD went bad the last 15 minutes (just before the Congressional hearing begins) so I don't know what happened. I don't care enough to get another copy of the movie so...someone --either post in the comments (announcing spoiler) or email me.
Fur about Diane Arbus's life as a dissatisfied assistant in her husband's photography biz and ends as she "finds herself" by giving in to her taste for the outre. Nicole Kidman does a nice job as does Robert Downey, Jr. as the Dog faced man who is her upstairs neighbor. Preposterous and idealized and actually pretty silly movie but still enjoyable. I'm guessing the estate would not allow any use of Arbus's work, which is why it's not in the movie. And who could blame them?
Paprika, a pleasant Japanese anime about a contraption invented by a brilliant misfit that enables psychologist's to enter their patients' dreams. Unfortunately, the invention is stolen and used to create chaos. Paprika is the avatar of the head researcher, and she (Paprika) is a kind of imaginary super heroine.
And yesterday my friend Donni and went to see The Fighter before heading to Xmas dinner.
Good movie with a dynamic Christian Bale as the junkie former fighter who trains his baby brother Mark Wahlberg. Amy Adams is good as the girlfriend. Melissa Leo unrecognizable and terrific as the monster mom from hell. The large very close knit and totally dysfunctional family (9 total with 7 girls) is by turns amusing, frustrating,and annoying, (to Micky--who is trying to become a champion boxer) and to the audience). Based on a true story.

DVDs/movie
Last weekend I watched Elia Kazan's 1961 Splendor in the Grass with Natalie Wood and "introducing" Warren Beatty. Written by William Inge. Takes place in 1928 and I most definitely saw bits of it on television when I was young--I specifically remember the ending. But man oh man. They would have had to bowdlerize the movie for tv back when it was first on, I'd think. It's ALL about sex. Repressing one's sexual feelings, girls being told that sex is bad (by a frigid mother). Having sex with prostitutes so that the good girls aren't dirtied (by a monster father).
Police Story 2 directed and starred in by Jackie Chan. Awful, just like the first, but the climactic martial arts fight between Chan's cop character and a kookie but vicious bomb maker is topnotch and almost worth the whole movie.
Zulu--rented because it's Michael Caine's first major role. Another one that I'd definitely seen and forgotten because I recognized one line plus the ending. A movie that is so politically incorrect (and for good reason) and that couldn't be made today --the way it was made. The Zulus are depicted as warriors yes, but their attack on the whites seem to be coming out of the blue...like why on earth would they want to slaughter all these many soldiers? Welllll, could it possibly be because their country had been invaded and colonized by strangers who stole their land and gave them no respect? Duh. The only whites sympathetic to them is the preacher and his daughter who of course, wants only to save their souls for Jesus Christ. Anyway, if you can tune your brain out to the realities of the situation(pretty impossible in my case) it could be seen as a great epic about fewer than 100 British soldiers who fight for survival against 4000 Zulus.
Today I saw Black Swan directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Natalie Portman. I knew in advance that it was about Swan Lake and that it was a horror movie. I'd avoided reading anything else about it. (although I read one article about Portman training for the role). Man oh man. I knew that ballet is hard on the body and takes an amazing amount of discipline. I also realize that the movie is (probably--I hope) an exaggeration of the tortures ballerinas undergo to stay at the top of their form, but I have a feeling that while over the top, the basics are very real.
Barbara Hershey is the monster mom (with botoxed forehead, alas). Vincent Cassell as the head of the company is fucking sexy. Natalie Portman is very good. More below under spoilers.
spoilers
Someone in a newsgroup mentioned that "she's really on edge from the beginning"--Well, yeah. If she was utterly well-adjusted--in control of her emotions and sure of herself and less obsessed with being perfect--her progression to "Repulsion" country would either have been unbelievable or caused by something supernatural (which would have been the lazy way to do it in this case).
It's Roman Polanski's Repulsion of the ballet world.

Ellen Datlow's Christmas list
This is only a sampling of what I've been reading this year for my Best Horror of the Year, volume three but I recommend all of the below for yourself or as gifts for others. The should all be available.
The Occultation by Laird Barron (Night Shade Books) is the second collection by a writer with a sure hand and a memorable voice. If you want to read literary horror stories, with their share of visceral chills and the occasional shock, you'll find no better among the younger writers in the genre. The three originals, two novellas and a short story are all excellent. One of the best horror collections of the year.
You might consider buying one of two collections of stories by relative newcomer Angela Slatter: Sourdough (Tartarus) and The Girl with No Hands (and Other Tales) (Ticonderoga Publications). Many of Slatter's stories are dark retellings of classic fairy tales, following in the tradition of Angela Carter and Tanith Lee. In The Girl with No Hands (and Other Tales) there are sixteen stories, three original to the volume. Sourdough has sixteen stories, only four previously published. Each stands alone, even though the stories and characters are often related to previous stories.
Holiday by the remarkable M. Rickert (Golden Gryphon) is a beauty of a book with illustrations for each of the eleven holiday-themed stories (one original, which is a quite dark). Rickert's work has mostly been published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and runs the gamut of fantastic genres including science fiction, dark fantasy, and horror. Although her stories are sometimes grim, they're always worth reading. Several of the stories were chosen for Best of the year anthologies.
Kraken: An Anatomy by China Miéville (Ballantine Books) is charming, funny, disgusting, inventive, and just plain entertaining. A young man working in the British Museum becomes enmeshed in a cult that worships a giant squid and someone's plan to end the world in a final conflagration. London, even the world is threatened and London is a living, breathing city with every part of it from the sea to its masonry part of the final battle. A few too many characters and extrusions off the main plot, but still satisfying.
Horns by Joe Hill (William Morrow) is the author's masterful second novel in which a young man awakens after a drunken night with horns growing out of his forehead. From there the book moves back and forth between Ig's perfect life of privilege and happiness, to the murder that ruins his life, and back into his present as he tries to find out why he's developed a strange power of persuasion and can see the deepest desires of those around him. There's a sense of wonder, humor, and horror that runs throughout this fine novel.
The Mütter Museum Calendar 2011(Blast Books) is a wall calendar that I annually buy for myself. It's made up of photographs from the Mütter Museum at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. The museum itself is a wonderful adventure, with pathological specimens of a giant colon, plaster casts of the conjoined twins Chang and Eng, and Chevalier Jackson Collection of objects swallowed and removed.
The 2011 calendar's photographs are by Max Aguilera-Hellweg, Scott Irvine, Mark Kessell, Olivia Parker, Rosamond Purcell, and Arne Svenson.
The Django by Levi Pinfold (Templar Books) is an illustrated children's book inspired by the great guitarist Django Reinhardt. In the book, the Django is a trickster, forever getting a young boy named Jean into trouble by breaking his father 's banjo, scaring a large horse, and eventually by speaking through Jean's mouth, dancing through Jean's feet. Jean, increasingly frustrated at being blamed for things he has not done, yells at the Django to go away and leave him alone. Which the Django does. Not horror at all but a beautiful, charming picture book.
The Gun by C.J. Chivers (Simon & Schuster) is something I need to actually sit down and read more carefully, but I may not have time before Christmas and I don't want to hold up this gift list any more than I already have. The book, by a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, tells the history of the AK-47, the compact automatic weapon designed by Stalin era army technicians—and its impact on modern conflicts.
The Horror the Horror: Comic Books the Government Didn't Want You to Read (Abrams ComicArts) Selected, edited, and with commentary by Jim Trombetta. This is a fabulous oversized trade paperback heavily illustrated with comics not seen for nearly sixty years because of their censorship by Congress in 1954. Crime, gore, sex galore the pre-code comic books were colorful, flamboyant and considered a very bad influence on juveniles. With an introduction by R. L. Stine and a bonus DVD of Confidential File, a half hour television show from 1955 about the "'evils' of comic books and their effects on juvenile delinquency."
And if you must have something more of vampires, werewolves, and zombies you could do worse than picking up (or giving as a gift) the adorable Peter Pauper Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies: A Compendium Monstrum from the papers of Herr Doktor Max Sturm & Barong Ludwig Von Drang collected and arranged by Suzanne Schwalb and Margaret Rubiano. The little moleskin book is profusely illustrated with classic paintings and drawings plus some illustrations by Bruce Waldman, fold-out maps showing where such supernatural creatures can be found, instructions on vampire indicators, werewolves in literature, helpful phrases for the Creole vampire hunter, a bibliography, and an index. This just could be the perfect stocking stuffer.

Book sale
As anyone who has ever been to my apartment knows, I always have too many books --other people's and my own, in piles all over the place. In order to at least diminish the piles of my own books I'm offering some for sale.
The sale will run until December 31st (my birthday). I will mail out your books as soon as I can get to the post office.
All titles are offered signed and personalized; shipping in US is included in the listed price. I sell at cover price rounded up plus $4.00 for mass market paperbacks/$6.00 trade paperbacks and trade hardcovers within the US.
For shipping outside the United States, please add an additional $6.00 per book to the listed price. This covers the cost of packaging and postage.
There are a few items listed that will sell for more than cover price, because they are OOP or not easily available through second-hand dealers.
To purchase a book or books, please comment on this entry with your name and the books you would like to reserve, and the total you expect to pay.
Because I have limited quantities of each title, this is strictly first come, first served.
I will comment to let you know your order has been received and that book is available, and to tell you what you owe. The address for money is datlow at datlow dot com. Please wait for my comment before sending money.
When paying, please include your real name, your lj name, a list of what you have purchased, and your shipping address in the comments section of the paypal form.

Gentleman Who Fell
Because I just heard it for the first time via jezebel and love it: Milla Jovovich singing Gentleman Who Fell
