(35) Destination Anywhere

(35) Destination Anywhere. As an arguer on a Chelsea street, in the shorter feature film Destination Anywhere for Jon Bon Jovi directed by Mark Pellington, which is both a shorter-length feature film and an extended music video for the singer’s album of the same name.

This snippet is a slow-motion montage of argumentative couples. First we hear me arguing with my onscreen boyfriend on a busy block of 8th Avenue (though in reality the shiny-black-vinyl-and-orange outfit would have been more East Village than Chelsea). Then comes Demi Moore, going hammer-and-tongs at her onscreen boyfriend, Bon Jovi. The cast also contains Whoopi Goldberg and Kevin Bacon. For the daytime scene at the end, we were on the corner of Mott and Prince in Nolita, beside a long, venerable, weather-beaten red-brick wall that runs along three sides of its city block and that always felt to me as if it spilled its old red-brick warmth throughout the neighbourhood.
