I opened this up to celebrate the Hackney Wicked Festival, although the Wicked was pretty bad the drink made it all the better.
On the nose wafts of heather and grass, followed by a sweet smoke. first creamy over the tongue, when it glides down vanilla is replaced by strong medicinial TCP and bandages, quite dry finish with a hint of bitter melon at the end. I wasn't sure at first, quite dry but I grew to love this expression and it gets sweeter with every mouthful, very agreeable for an 8 year old.
There has been much speculation that there is going to be a remake of the great Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer. What a shame in the most pointless fashion to take a movie which is just brilliant for it's low budget, heavy acting, distorted sound, grinding sound FX and drawn out monologues then bring it into the digital age. Possibly a disasterous idea, until my wife said she wanted to make a remake of Driller Killer. Now that's an idea! Especially as I get to play the lead as Reno - now I am excited!
We will make a autobiographical account of the film and shoot it straight to VHS, a nice nod to the video nasty fiasco. It is set in E2 London and will feature my own artwork as well as the real life difficulties of living in a communual environment with other so called creatives. It is a no budget film with people pretty much playing themselves.
Driller Killer E2 will be a smart blend of reality and fantasy addressing the issues that a struggling artist encounters today - as like Reno when the anxieties of never becoming successful become so torturous it feels like a maniac drilling into your brain. AAAAAGHHHHRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!
