THE WYLDE AND THE WYCKEDCheck it out dawgs, donned my bespoke suit to suss out art exhibition by Swiss cinematographer Beat Presser at Pavaradi Theatre on the other side of Chaophraya River.
Beat has worked with Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog, Fassbinder, and is personal friend of Dr Albert Hoffman. He was also personal photographer to Klaus Kinski. Beat is a repository of information about Brion Gysin.
I rolled off the skytrain and jumped a ferryboat. The ferry took off under ink blue sky, the Bangkok night was cool and starry as the boat passed the splendid contours of the Temple of Dawn.
Colored lights adorned the restaurants and edifices on both sides of the river splashing the water with the refractions, giving it the look of an Impressionist painting. The Royal Palace loomed ahead, full of mystery and grandeur. The boat docked and I made it to the scene of the crime.
Madame Pavaradi is a petite lady with a Leslie Caron hair style flecked with silver. She enjoyed a career as a film star, and is much loved and revered.
The theatre is a beautiful space. Beat was rolling deep. I schmoozed with the staff of the Swiss Embassy, chatted up the birds and proceeded to the theatre proper where Beat screened two short films based on his book The Oasis of Silence. (remarkable photo above from the Oasis of Silence exhibit).
Beat is a cool dude with a tousled mop of brown hair, an infectious grin, and a mischievous laugh.
The photographs on film were in black and white, delicate and striking like an old movie, and captured the essence of life in a Buddhist monastary.
After the third glass of vin rouge I bailed and jumped the boat to the other shore as I had to go to Pattaya early Friday
Time to hang with the the wylde and wycked in Pattaya. So we dined at Chez Bernard with friends.Our host Bernard plied us with a liter of wine, French gastronomy, and beaucoup des ambiance. We were joined at the table by a friend of a noted author. He is the author of acclaimed and controversial novels as For King And Country, and fan and promoter of Sleepless in Bangkok. Sleepless in Bangkok by Ian Quartermaine – an erotic thriller. (not for the faint of heart)
After din din the train kept a rolling all night long. Check out Big AL Harlow when you are in Pattaya.
Al runs a taco stand next to Oasis a-go-go. His soon to be published memoire, Welcome to the Jungle rocks, baby.
A couple of guys read for parts in Mr. Oliver Stone flick Pinkville which commences shooting here in January. Good luck to those guys on getting these parts!
We topped up the night with cocktails at Heaven Above, a popular hangout among the in crowd. Next stop was Angelwitch to catch the sexy shows by a bevy of gorgeous ecydiasts. As always my friends in the USA just have lost the plot re the aforementioned.
I bid them adieu with the immortal words of Bob Dylan –
AND YOU ASK WHY I DONT LIVE THERE HONEY HOW COME YOU DONT MOVE.

You are half way around the world, talking about something you know nothing about, based on some half-info from a would-be journalist who was stoned out of his mind when he wrote his blog. Neither I (Jake Anthony) nor Big Al Harlow have been cast in Oliver Stone’s forthcoming movie. We have both been tested with interesting result. However, we have certainly not been cast as yet and not as leading players. So stop being amateur gossip columnists and from now on please do not print or publish anything which you have not fully verfied as fact. Bungling amateurs do more damage than they can envisage. After your half-assed amateur bullshit circulating on your blog, I will be surprised if I ever work again.
As to Sleepless in Bangkok and For King & Country, I was the book packager and editor. So it has my writing trademark about it, but the author was Ian Quartermaine. Get a life and stop living second-hand on mine. I now know why Great Garbo ‘wanted to be alone’.
Try not to contact me again, as every time you do so you make things worse. My friend and colleague Big Al Harlow, will give you how own personal response, I am sure.
Jake Anthony.
Jake,
You are overreacting Jake. I am trying to help Tony get his daily thoughts out on his website.
I don’t write this stuff, Tony does. And what you are talking about was corrected before it was ever published.
Are you some kind of curmudgeon? I alway make corrections when asked. So if you have a correction to Tony’s writings just ask
and I’ll make the correrction. I’ve never labeled my self as a journalist. I’m a web developer, web host and web promoter.
Tony’s blog is getting over a million hits a month now, and he deserves the chance to get out to the world.
What you’re talking about was never published, it was edited before it ever reached the blog.
I always verify whenever possible. And anything on the blog is always subject to editing after publication.
I hope you work again and land the part in Oliver Stone’s movie.

I know Tony meant well when he stated that Jake and I (Big Al) had parts in a movie. But the fact is we only read for a part as anyone can do if they want to try for a part. Just contact me by email and I will try to help you out. So I think Tony is off to a good start as long as he remembers that all good journalist do research to keep the facts straight.
All the best,
Big Al
I am glad Antonio’s site is doing well, he is very talented. That’s why I have done an enormous amount of work on and am close to completing, a screenplay based on his book The Magick Papers. Print that up if you wish, as it is one of the best things I have ever written. A noir movie brought up to date. Print that because it is 100% factual. – Jake Anthony
