A Letter to Mr. Coyne
Tim: , , , ,

Dear Mr. Coyne,

First, let me say that I like your style.  I’m not yet too acquainted with your music, and so I can’t speak too much for your aural style.  However, I have taken a look at the cover art to your albums, as well as your film Christmas on Mars both of which I feel have a strong visual style that is quite neat.  Mostly in this letter, though, I will be speaking about Christmas on Mars.

This is a good trailer, but it doesn’t quite capture the mood of Christmas on Mars, which is what impressed me most about the film.  This isn’t because the film was deep and angsty and conferred to my indie mentality.  No, what impressed me about Christmas on Mars is that you were able to take the B grade and make it… good. And that’s Neat, Mr. Coyne. Really Neat.  So what I’d like to ask of you, Mr. Coyne, is to make another movie. Please? It’ll probably be neat.

Also, you have a very nice hat collection. I myself collect hats, and enjoy hats.


So please keep on groovin’, Mr. Coyne. And I’m going to try to purchase some of your albums.

With Love,
Vvinni J. Gagnepain

    So i just saw this film again and I’d have to disagree, Andrew. I think Wayne Coyne is like Tim and Eric if they were David Lynch. And I say this having Tim and Eric in a magical cupboard by my feet and being haunted by the film David Lynch will never make, so I can’t possibly be wrong.

    Try The Soft Bulletin. It’s a doozy.

    I’ve thought about it long and hard, and here is my final word on the subject: Wayne Coyne is Jean-Luc Godard, if Jean-Luc Godard was also Ed Wood.

    I say this having never seen a film by either Godard or Wood; therefore, I cannot possibly be wrong.

WORDS.
