Jean Genet: BBC Arena 1985 (FR / EN subs)

Found on an old VHS, audio spliced from another source, a celebrated encounter. Reference material for 'The Way Out, A Portrait Of Xentos Jones', a film by Luke Fowler & Kosten Koper (2003).

@MRoderics you and your opinions bore me. if you like clean, nice stuff you can stay out of these videoes and go bake chocolate cookies with your mother and watch a justin timberlake movie.

@Josedono Why would I be a "professor"? Professors are teachers, which I'm not. I never read the people you're talking about, nor intend to. I read "Querelle de Brest" & watched "Chant d'amour" which were bad trips to me, that's all I have to say about that. A totally diferent experience is reading people like Henry Miller or Walt Whitman. It's exhilarating, unlike Genet, in spite of his artistry. If you read his biography you'll see he was an unhappy man. Writing that way was bad for his karma.

@MRoderics By the way, dude, now that I'm here:  what in God's name is a genetite? Isn't that something you order up at a strip club with towels and soda water? Or isn't that the poem that Eliot wrote on the cocktail napkin, not the doily?

@MRoderics

Cleanliness and courtesy are what you look for in a writer, is that it? What are you, some kind of closet Jane Austin fan? Do the people in your life suspect that about you, that you do double duty with ole W. M. Thackeray and the Bronte sisters? Tell me, professor, do you annoy the piss out of your friends with this stuff, just like you're annoying the piss out of me right now? I'd fall out of my chair if I found out you weren't a professor.

[MRoderics]

@Josedono At least have the courtesy of addressing to me when replying. Surely you're influenced by Genet and his lack of manners. As for Genet being a "classic", you must be dreaming.

Thanks for uploading!

[Josedono]

You couldn't thing yourself out of a box of maxi pads, and you want to improve the classics? Who do you think humanity is going to be quoting two hundred years from now, Genet or your sorry ass? Go read some Sam Sheperd.
