3Stories About Evil
Michael Frost directed this 22-minute trio of Walter Reuben-scripted tales using still photographs of the players. Joe appears in "The Story of Johnnie & Laurie" arc, first as the head of a college French department, then as a Hollywood agent. The short film debuted at the Boston Underground Film Festival in March of 2008. The complete film (for mature audiences) can be watched on DigiChannel. The film's official site.
A fresh link to our growing list of books that reference Joe, including such 2009 entries as Bob's World: The Life and Boys of AMG's Bob Mizer (Taschen) and Trash: A Queer Film Classic (Arsenal Pulp Press). This list has been hiding out in the Joe-Pourri Archive, so thought we'd move it up to the forefront for those who'd like to revisit or check it out for the first time. Click on The Warhol Look cover for a look-see.

Check out this section of the warholstars site for a detailed account utilizing several contemporary newspaper sources of the trials and tribulations of being Trash in the UK in the 1970s.
Rivette's 153-minute rarity has come to DVD in a beautiful print, providing quite the revelatory treat to Joe's fans who have long wanted to see this elusive film from one of Europe's great filmmakers. If there's a potential drawback, it's that the film can't be purchased separately but comes as one of a boxed set of "Four Masterworks," a designation with which the director might take some exception. Also in the set: Duell, Va Savoir, Celine and Julie Go Boating, all very much worth owning. Merry-Go-Round is spoken alternately in French and English, with German subtitles the only caption option. Available as Region2/PAL from, among several places, Germany's Amazon.com site.

Raro Video Offers Raro Warhol
Italian DVD specialty house Raro Video continues to offer a tantalizing assortment of Warhol titles for those who have all-region DVD with PAL-conversion players. If you have such a player and wish to order these stateside, they are currently available through Xploited Cinema. The Trilogy boxed set is quite good and you'll note they're using a great shot from San Diego Surf on the Flesh cover. Other Warhol titles include The Chelsea Girls, Nude Restaurant, I, A Man, My Hustler, Vinyl, and in a four-silent film box: Kiss, Blow Job, Empire and Mario Banana. An 11-film compilation boxed set called the Andy Warhol Anthology includes all these titles except for the Trilogy. Note: The Chelsea Girls suffers from an improper audio mix, resulting in some sequences which were meant to have sound playing silently and vice versa.
