"Thanks for the Last and Greatst Betrayal..."
Via GreenCine, a link to a short Gus Van Sant video of William Burroughs reciting his "Thanksgiving Prayer." More great Burroughs sounds and images are available at the Reality Studio website. Van Sant's direction, which consists primarily of laying iconic American images behind the elderly Burroughs, is far less powerful than Burroughs' reading itself.
Also worth checking out: a Quick Time version of Towers Open Fire, a 1963 film scripted by Burroughs and directed by Anthony Balch. I hadn't seen this film before, and as experimental film goes, it's fascinating stuff.
