Paris, Texas (1984)
A few months ago we began working on a new tee for our shop YOWIE with our friend Ed Davis. Little did we know how timely it would be. Harry Dean Stanton is one of the greatest actors to have existed and we were lucky to have him. The Paris, Texas tee is an homage to Wim Wenders perfect movie and some of the best performances in film history. Shop here or in our shop in Philly :)

“I have a black puppy named Elvis and three cats: Zooey (Franny ran away), Pretty Paws, and Hudson (named after Rock),” actress Ione Skye proudly declares, quickly adding, “I named them all myself.” (via)

To Die For (1995)
To Die For is a movie worth revisiting. By today’s standards its just another episode of Snapped but in the Spring of 1990 the true story of Pamela Smart rocked Derry, New Hampshire. Two made for TV movies (one locally cobbled together and one starring Helen Hunt), a Joyce Maynard penned novel, and then this film adaptation by Gus Van Sant quickly followed. This movie is inspired by Maynard’s facsimile of Pamela and it makes for an entertaining view. I was brought back to To Die For after watching a recent HBO documentary about the case. Yet its uninspired talking heads and lagging pace made it less exciting that your standard Law & Order SVU repeat. The one interesting thing it did add to the story is the unveiling that one of the jurors kept a recorded diary of the trial. The woman speaks to the recorder with the comfort of one of her closest girlfriend and illustrates that perception in a court of law will always confuse decisions of guilt or innocence. But back to To Die For, my favorite adaptation of this true crime telenovela.
