Hi, Maya, I also like BIG BANG LOVE, JUVENILE A a lot. It is crazy. I don’t understand anything in it. As for Takashi Miike’s films, I have seen only six of them. This is the list in my preferential order:

1.MASTERS OF HORROR: IMPRINT (2006, A+)

2.ONE MISSED CALL (2003, A+)

I don’t think this film is better than AUDITION, but I like the (too many?) twists in the plot of this film.

3.AUDITION (1999, A)

4.BLUES HARP (1998, A-)
This film also has some homoerotic feelings in it.

5.THE BIRD PEOPLE IN CHINA (1998, A-)

6.THREE…EXTREMES: BOX (2004, A-/B+)


--I’m glad you like Maria de Medeiros. I also like her a lot. She also has an interesting supporting role in MY LIFE WITHOUT ME (2003, Isabel Coixet, A+) as a hairdresser who is obsessed with Milli Vanilli.

--I like Andre Techine a lot, but I feel the pace of CHANGING TIMES (2004, A) and LOIN (2001, A) are a little bit too fast for me to feel deeply involved in it.

PARIS HILTON FROM DUSK TILL DAWN

I wrote this imaginary movie plot just for the fun of myself, but it would be good if any of you can enjoy it, too.

My writing below is inspired by many sources, including:

1.The movie games in LIKE ANNA KARINA’S SWEATER website

2.An article about CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 in MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE blog, and the fact that Madonna was once to play the lead role in the remake of CLEO FROM 5 TO 7,

3.A post in Matt Zoller Seitz’ blog about imaginary films

4.Reading about the film POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL (1965, Andy Warhol) in an article written by Graiwoot Chulphongsathorn in Bioscope Magazine (Thai)

5.AFTER HOURS (1985, Martin Scorsese)


--I wrote about some stupid imaginary films from time to time, but in Thai. This is the first time I wrote about it in details in English.

My stupid imaginary film this time is PARIS HILTON FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. It stars Paris Hilton. The film is twelve hour long and is divided into twelve parts; each part is an hour long and has three directors collaborating on it. So the whole film has 36 directors.

CAN YOU GUESS WHICH DIRECTORS SHOULD BELONG TO WHICH PART BELOW? EACH PART HAS THREE DIRECTORS. Or after reading this, do you have any suggestions or want to share your imagination?


PART 1: 18.00-19.00 HRS

Paris has sex with a cute boy. After that they talk together while the cute boy prances around the room wearing only an underwear.



PART 2: 19.00-20.00 HRS

Paris goes shopping for new shoes with her so-called friends (starring Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, the Olsen twins), then they have dinner together. They talk while eating, but everybody is telling a lie. The Olsen twins talk about cloning, believing there is a cloning pair of them living somewhere. Then all of Paris’ friends start talking about the truth that they are all lesbians.



PART 3: 20.00-21.00 HRS

Paris and her friends dress up in fancy and outrageous clothes to go to a fancy opening party of a painting exhibition. The exhibition has 92 paintings, and has an unseen guide leading the viewers to travel through time and space while watching the paintings.



PART 4: 21.00-22.00 HRS

After traveling through time and space, Paris emerges out of the exhibition alone, losing her memory. She can’t remember who she is. She wanders the street and makes a new friend with a female criminal and a woman who claims to be her long-lost mother. The three of them meet a handsome serial killer who is a puppeteer and they try to escape from him. They ask for help from some cops, but the cops are corrupted.



PART 5: 22.00-23.00 HRS

They try to escape the serial killer by hiding in a hospital, but the hospital is invaded by an angry mob. They then take a refuge in a dilapidated house full of squatters and beggars. Paris accidentally kills a baby by sitting on top of the baby. Paris also notices a handsome poor guy sleeping on the floor, so she (and the camera) spends some twenty minutes watching that guy sleeping.



PART 6: 23.00-24.00 HRS

Paris and her friends are thrown out of the house after someone discovers the accidental death of the baby. They feel very hungry and search for leftover food on the streets. A family invites them to have food, but only gives them soil to eat. A woman they meet on the street suggests they become cannibals. They try it. Another woman (Marina de Van) suggests each one eats her own self. They try it too and enjoy it.



PART 7: 24.00-01.00 HRS

The eat-yourself woman has two sisters (Diamanda Galas and PJ Harvey). The three sisters take Paris and her new friends to see some stage shows: an opera, a circus freak show, and a music show in which the singers just lying still on the floor.



PART 8: 01.00-02.00 HRS

Paris and all her new friends wander the street at night and have some adventures involving a woman who acts madly (Isabelle Adjani), a group of anarchist dwarfs, and a handsome trash collector dressed like a catwoman.



PART 9: 02.00-03.00 HRS

Paris and her friends feel sleepy. They find an empty house and try to get some sleep in it, not knowing that the house is cursed and haunted. The house is haunted by the spirit of a woman who died while waiting for her boyfriend who went to fight in WWII. The spirit is in the piano, changing the piano into a human-eating machine. Marina de Van gets great pleasure while being eaten by the piano. The criminal girl (Sabine Timoteo) uses some martial arts to fight the spirit, but loses the fight and gets eaten. The house is also the living place of the mummy of Queen Hatshepsut, though this mummy actually wants to go back to a museum, because she forgot her handbag there. This part of the film is told from the viewpoint of a knee belonging to a German corporal who died in Stalingrad.



PART 10: 03.00-04.00 HRS

After fighting with the evil sprit and the mummy and listening to many things told by the knee, Paris starts regaining her memory. She also gets to possess the memory of her ancestors and the memory of other persons. This part of the film is told by using a lot of flashbacks.



PART 11: 04:00-05.00 HRS

Knowing who she is, Paris wanders the street alone with self-confidence. She meets a shoe salesman (John Hawkes) who walks along the street with her. They take a morning train and talk with a guy (Ethan Hawke). Later, they get out of the train together and talk to a guy in a laundrette (Mark Ruffalo). Parish loves all these three guys. She feels so romantic. Love is in the air.



PART 12: 05.00-06.00 HRS

Her romantic hope is interrupted when John Hawkes, Ethan Hawke and Mark Ruffalo go to have sex together. Paris comes back home, but no one in her house remembers her. Her so-called friends also deny knowing her. Paris isn’t sure whether:

1.She is dreaming.

2.Everyone is lying and takes part in a conspiracy.

3.She is dead a long time ago.

4.She is a character in a novel written by her friend.

5.She is a part of a tale told by a patient in an insane asylum.

6.She is living in a memory of an old woman.
