...becomes a creepy, eccentric playboy who flies around in his "bat-gyro." Another stand-out, Ellen Fornay and Ariel Bordeaux imagine "Wonder Woman's Day Off," when she skips out for a cappuccino and a poetry slam, with her big-boots-and-tiara-look fitting right into the downtown hipster scene...
...include Faulkner-like tales of a Texan adolescent (later reworked into "Texas Summer") , an inner-city delinquent saga, a blissed-out, Kerouac-like account of a road trip, a journey into the mind of a tormented worker in the Paris metro, and an artfully drawn portrait of a wannabe hipster who hangs around black musicians (titled "You're Too Hip, Baby," its milieu may be dated, but its message is timeless).

Nonzee estimates that 20% of screen time features some nudity, and that includes voyeurism, four rapes and, of course, the lesbian scene Nonzee has held for the final day of shooting. "In my first...
...attic odor of a Life Achievement Award for still being alive. In his via-satellite performance of "Things Have Changed," Dylan, who turns 60 in May, looked like a desiccated Snideley Whiplash, slim mustache and all. But it was worth it to hear the geezer hipster enunciate that grand cliché, "I want to thank the members of the Academy," and then congratulate them of "for being so bold" in giving an Oscar to a song whose lyrics most of them could not decipher...
