Subject: A Moment Of Bern Porter You Might Have Missed If You Didn't Realize....
Reply-To: UB Poetics discussion group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
looking over an old journal from the late 90's, when i was roommates with Sheila Holtz, who eventually moved to Maine to edit Bern Porter International, i came across the following entry, something i had forgotten about:
------------- bomb-making avant garde poet/artist Bern Porter appeared as an extra in the 1996 film adaptation to Stephen King's novel THINNER (starring no one that i can ever recall seeing before, although Stephen King himself plays a nervous --and sexy, since he can't help himself-- nerdy pharmacist)
about 48 and one half minutes into the film when we enter the dream sequence of the Gypsy Carnival, Bern Porter and Sheila Holtz are visible for about 1 and one half seconds while standing in the audience before the 106-year-old Gypsy King named Lemke. for the first half of the 1 and one half seconds we see them from behind, as a gypsy is picking Sheila's pocket. Sheila is then smiling and laughing when the rest of the 1 and one half seconds shows them from the front. they really should have given Bern a speaking role. ------------- from dream sequence to dream, CAConrad http://phillysound.blogspot.com
