Writer/photographer/performer/club promoter and legend of New York's art & club circuits Gerry Visco, here shot by her friend, DJ & photographer Bobby Busnach in a SEX Cowboys t-shirt and leather miniskirt at the Park Royal, NYC, back in 1976.

According to Paul Gorman 's source post on his site: "…We lived at The Park Royal,” says Visco, who later appeared in Woody Allen’s 1980 movie Stardust Memories. “It didn’t have a cool scene. It was a residential hotel in a neighborhood on the Upper West Side which at the time was considered somewhat dangerous, a la Panic In Needle Park, but we lived across from The Dakota, where we often caught glimpses of people like John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Mia Farrow, Lauren Bacall, Roberta Flack and other celebrities.” From the turn of the 70s Busnach and Visco socialised in Boston and Manhattan as prominent figures in the gay disco and post-glam/pre-punk crowds. Meantime Busnach’s experiences as a DJ placed him dead centre of the scene out of which hip-hop grew. Visco attended New York’s Fashion Institute Of Technology and wore her own designs. She also sourced clothes from such labels as Fiorucci, Charles Jourdan and Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s SEX, which was sold through Ian’s at East 61st Street and Second Avenue. “Keep in mind that I am an UPTOWN BITCH – always have been and always will be!”exclaims Visco. “Downtown is for POSERS. Ha ha. The Ian’s on the UES was really good – the owner was always there and I bought some great stuff. I also worked in Macy’s briefly in the early 1980s in the cosmetics buying office. “As well as Ian’s I bought a lot of my clothes in vintage shops and at Henri Bendel’s, Bloomingdale’s and Bergdorf Goodman,” adds Visco, who also visited the UK where she bought McLaren/Westwood designs direct at 430 King’s Road…"

Mike McCartney on Linda, on being an artist in the shadow of Paul, and being thrown out of Yoko's show (before she met John)

SDE: Of course, Linda played keyboards on this album, doesn’t she? That must have been quite interesting, you know… she got a bit of a hard time at the beginning but she went on tour and played with them. MM: Yes, she bloody did it. The big thing is you can talk, but you listen to those harmonies, there are some lovely harmonies. And, it’s like her photography, I mean, people like us [i.e. Mike and Linda] when you are compared to an ex-Beatle. Of course, I will have that all my life and so did she. And so, always people put us down as, they’re just relatives, they’re not important, like all the Beatle children… Sean and Julian and all these kids, Ringo’s kids, etc. They put it down as … it’s a bit like ‘the poshies’, they’re no use to us, they don’t look at us as human beings and as artists in our own right. They just put up with us, they don't listen to us and so I had a bad time, Yoko had it bad, worse, my god, did she have a bad time. And, it’s so unfair, that when you think of the things that they’ve done, I knew Yoko before John, she came to Liverpool with her husband and some American bloke. SDE: Oh, that’s interesting… MM: Yes, she was in the Bluecoat [Chambers], we went to see her in the Bluecoat in Liverpool because we’d heard about this Japanese artist. SDE: She was putting on an exhibition or something? MM: She did these wonderful exhibitions. In fact, we got thrown out of one of them because we were satirists… SDE: You weren’t taking it that seriously then? MM: We didn’t… Yoko, I’m sorry, now! I don’t know whether you remember this, but she did this thing where she would get people on the stage – and thank god she didn’t ask us to get up –  and she would wrap them in bandages. You know what I mean? She’s taking it so seriously, and we’re scouting you know. Then, “any suggestions from the audience,” and there’s these people wrapped up in bandages and John ‘Tiswas’ Gorman did a ‘mummy’ joke. And, we were thrown out –  “you’re not taking this seriously”.

Lift

Lift    [trailer]

Follows a master thief and his Interpol Agent ex-girlfriend who team up to steal $500 million in gold bullion being transported on an A380 passenger flight.

Feels derivative and implausible. While not unsual that movies like this include ridiculous story elements. They usually at least make an effort so that the viewer can somewhat suspend his disbelief.

At no point do you get the feeling there's an emotional connection between Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Kevin Hart.

The maybe funniest thing is giving Jean Reon's character the name Lars Jorgensen. And I enjoyed the Venice sightseeing at the beginning.
