The South-China Morning Post (November 19, 2006) ran a profile of and interview with Jeff Koons, who has been making something of a comeback in recent years. With his exploration of decadence, celebrity, popular culture, kitsch and the media he had become one of the icons of the 80s. He sort of disappeared from view in the late 90s, or at least from my radar, but today he is seen as the link between Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.

I would like to like this movie, I really would. But as it is, it's one of the silliest and most boring films I've seen for a long time.
Holland Animation Film festival 2008
As with every edition of the Holland Animation Film festival there were too many films. And also as with every edition the films ranged from hilarious, touching and stunning to boring, tedious and outright dreadful.
I'm a cyborg is yet another highly intelligent movie by Park Chan-wook. It's also a visual treat and in its own special way profoundly moving.
