Update
Saw Blank City which is a documentary about the late 70s/early 80s underground art/film scene in New York with particular reference to No wave and the Cinema of Transgression. Loads of interviews w/the likes of Nick Zedd, Richard Kern, Lydia Lunch, Thurston Moore, John Waters, Steve Buscemi, Debbie Harry and more plus loads of original footage from back then. I really enjoyed it and found it very interesting plus there's about an extra hour or so of footage on the DVD of deleted/extended scenes.
Also saw Sucker Punch again which still frustrates me as it could have been a really good film (which is not to say it doesn't have some good points) but I still think it's more style over substance - has a very dodgy message. Just because a woman is kicking ass does not make it female empowerment and especially not if said female is a young blonde girl called Babydoll who is constantly flashing her knickers and ends up getting lobotomised. And I still think it's a rip off of Emilie Autumn's book The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls.
I also got the DVD of Pandora's Box, Louise Brooks' best known film - she looks so beautiful in it. I'm also pleased because I got the special edition so it also has the documentary Looking for Lulu (which covers Louise's life/career).
