1.0 out of 5 stars JUNK, January 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Destroy All Rational Thought [VHS] (VHS Tape)

No...not the stuff that Burroughs dreams were made of...this video is a piece of trash. A bunch of hangers-on wanna-be-hip losers...distantly connected to Burroughs...try to fob this off as insight. Only the old footage of Burroughs in decades past has any interest, though it is cut-up only in a way that would embarrass the Great Iconoclast...and there isnt that much footage of him anyhow. Made by capitalists...R.I.P. Bill.

This review is from: Destroy All Rational Thought (DVD)

This is a record of a Burroughs and brion gysin artshow called here to Go Show held in dublin in 1992. Features Terry Wilson, Hamri, Hakim Bey , Ira Cohen, Burroughs etc. This documentary features antony balch footage not seen before and not in the archives of genisis p orridge or the corrporate burroughs communications. very interesting footage of musicians of joujouka that burroughs loved and a testimonial shot in burroughs garden of the master assassin talking frankly about brion gysin. A must have for all Burroughs/ Gysin/ Joujouka/Jajouka affectinados.

This review is from: Destroy All Rational Thought (DVD)

To view all that is wrong with "Destroy All Rational Thought",simply skip to the interview with the creators. They fumble through weak excuses of why you hate what you just saw. Lack of money, art-school student film work, bad blood between Gysin's old friends, no shows, and late arrivals. Burroughs on the cover, but with a shaky, poorly recorded 3 minute interview being his only contribution to the film. Purchase "Thee Films" to experience the true brilliance of Gysin/Burroughs. I was very disappointed in this DVD.
