The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 31, 2015
Paths of Glory (1957, Stanley Kubrick) — World War I Thirty years before his half-brilliant Vietnam film Full Metal Jacket, the 28-year-old Kubrick made this most merciless and clinical of antiwar war movies.

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 24, 2015
The three wonderfully distinctive personalities I encountered and will mention in this series were all outspoken, eccentric to be sure, but full of passion for the unusual things in life.

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 17, 2015
How did Paths of Glory come together? Once Kirk Douglas agreed to do the film, he was very helpful in influencing United Artists to finance it. He was scheduled to do another film for UA called The Vikings, and I think he suggested that if they didn’t do Paths of Glory, he would take The Vikings els read more

Quote of the Week
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on May 3, 2015
Since then, Le Petomane has become the stuff of legend. His story became a comic strip in a 1975 issue of Apple Pie magazine and the better part of a 1976 comic book called The Compleat Fart, both of which featured him farting on the cover. In the 1980s, writer-character actor Timothy Carey, with as read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Apr 26, 2015
[…] The world is awful, let’s face it. Timothy Carey, a man no film (no world?) can contain, brilliantly so, faces it, and in fact, revels in the awfulness, smirking and smiling while petting his puppy – he knows everything’s shit. Fine. And we’re with his psycho intensity, we even read more
