[TURBODORK2]

i wonder what JJ would think of some of the crap today, what would he think of smart car or fiat uno

[NameLikeHisMaster]

@TURBODORK2 Well he was alive until about 2 years ago! I'm sure there are comments on it somewhere.

Thanks for this, man.

[HeathenLoveGod]

Ballard was a genius!

[GNeuman]

Just finished "Super Cannes" by Ballard and I'm now a total fan of him. Gabrielle Drake is drop dead gorgeous on this..

Thanks for posting.

Some can get very excited in a certain way about 04:48, and especially with also a bit of wheel-capped nip, 08:32. Thanks Gabby, for showing yours.

[jannyrcobs]

I hate the manner in which Part Two abruptly ends. Any chance of uploading this as a bit torrent?

[TheFashionbugs]

How the FUCK can a 1971 film be inspired by a 1973 book? btw Gabrielle Drake YUMMY!

[skangerland]

@TheFashionbugs It isn't inspired by the 1973 novel. It derives instead from the short piece 'Crash!', which was written in 1968 and included in The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), as well as from Ballard's exhibition of crashed cars at the New Arts Laboratory, London, in 1970.

[closertofiftythanyew]

@TheFashionbugs

the 1973 book came from the short 1971 docu. Hope this helps.

[BillyIsATwat23]

@closertofiftythanyew No, the film is inspired by The Atrocity Exhibition. Hope this helps :-P

[exeuroweenie]

I was at Walmart once,parked beside a PT Cruiser,It was festooned with ribbon and Shriner's stickers.A blue-gray haired woman(resembling Barbara Bush)slowly exited.Simultaneously she popped her dentures in,with an accidental flash of her granny panties and support hose.In retrospect ,maybe I missed Ballard's point.Or else,it isn't as relevant this side of the pond.

[starguard]

I wonder was Ballard tripping on Acid when he wrote this?

[hazelwitchhazel]

The guy's profile reminds me of Gru from Despicable Me (at 2:36).

finding this beautifull short makes my day, Ballard's insights are a delight!

[kommievision]

did i just see car nipple?

[closertofiftythanyew]

@kommievision Yes, on a lovely hubcap on that wire wheel.

Human League had good advice for the car and its users, jump off the tarmac, copy and paste,

watch?v=oPS7QZFFvpU

[MidoriNoSaru]

This needs a DVD release it is culturally very important.

[digikiii]

@MidoriNoSaru agree

[molloyx]

The novel is mind bending in its originality and Ballard certainly deserves to be considered an equal to the likes of Pynchon, McCarthy, DeLillo, Auster and Roth.

[jsuglia]

@molloyx He deserves to be considered superior to all of them.

One man's crash is another man's Saturday night.

[themachman19691]

thanks so much for this

[gabrieldix64]

Superb.

[blueingreentrain]

sex needs this, more like

[vaughanAKA]

Buffoon. This IS sex. Articulated in a psychopathological manner you are clearly too feeble minded to comprehend. Voluminous thanks to the poster of this video - perhaps the closest we will come to the true essence of CRASH.

[mahound9]

@vaughanAKA It's definitely a worthy adjunct to crash, but I think that the true essence of "Crash" would be much more explicit and visceral. Maybe a cross (or a 'crash', as it were) between the Cronenberg "Crash" and this.

[BillyIsATwat23]

@vaughanAKA Except, smartarse, that this film is actually based on passages from The Atrocity Exhibition.

[handsomevision]

this needs sex.
