[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Mae Martin says, "Come on, Bosco." A dog-shaped contraption, made from the fabric of a black umbrella wrapped around a wheeled box, rolls across the floor of the room. It has googly eyes stuck on it, a tartan ribbon around its neck, floppy black ears, and metal umbrella ribs poking out of its back. The umbrella's tip forms its nose. Mae explains, "He's a wire-haired border brolly." End ID.]

Tonight's Monday Philm is actually a miniseries: Liberty! The American Revolution, first broadcast in 1997. Or, I Watched Six Hours Of This PBS Documentary All At Once So You Don't Have To!
It really wasn't that bad—I'm actually a historian specializing in 19th-20th century U.S. by training 🤓 so while the Revolution is a little earlier than my area of study, I've always had a soft spot for it. Just watching this made me a little nostalgic. I've seen parts of this series before (probably in middle school tbh) and of course I've watched PSH's few bits, but this was my first time watching the whole thing.
Overall pretty good! A little dated, as quarter-century old documentaries are expected to be, and the focus was a little narrower than I might've hoped for from a six-hour series, but it was well-made. SO many actors are in this. Like, I knew several to expect (like Stephen Lang, another favorite actor of mine, voicing Washington), but then Austin Pendleton and Jane Adams and Isiah Whitlock Jr. and Philip Bosco showed up!
I'm curious about how Phil got involved with this project. Released in late 1997, about a month after Boogie Nights, so filmed before his public "breakthrough" in that film. I wonder if this was another role he did, partly like Twister (and around the same time), to afford to move back to NYC lol? Not that it would just be about money—seeing Austin Pendleton pop up made me think he might've gotten Phil involved. And the project is neat, it's history, something Phil probably would've been interested in on his own. We may never know!
PSH is portraying Joseph Plumb Martin, an actual American soldier who kept a diary throughout his wartime service. While doing some research for this post I learned Martin was 16 (!!!) when he joined the militia, so Phil in that first still is supposed to be a teenager lmao. Makes much more sense when you realize Martin was in his mid-20s by the end of the war (the last still) and much closer to Phil's actual age. And like, it's a PBS documentary—they're not blowing the budget on costumes for characters with maybe 2 minutes of screen time—but they still do a pretty good job showing how he became a man over the course of the war.
Martin also kinda has the most character development over the course of the series? He's the primary (maybe only?) American soldier depicted and so carries the burden of portraying the entire demographic's wartime experiences. A little cheesy at times but Phil's sincerity is impressive—his willingness to throw himself into any role without self-consciousness—and I can't lie some of those line readings gave me chills ! Nearly all of the actors do a great job bringing the real diary entries and letters etc. to life—so brash, so funny, so honest and afraid and hopeful.
This series brings up many innate and complicated feelings about my country! Too numerous to dive into here, since this is already a remarkable long review compared to how long Phil is actually in it.
But Phil loved a good July 4th bash so tomorrow, if applicable, make some of his cookie dough s'mores and go see fireworks or maybe just watch him be miserable and freezing at Valley Forge in this series! 🇺🇸
#Local Revolutionary War Solider Boy Has The Most Lucious Lips#the last scene he is such a prince#like I know the whole point of the revolution was for us to not have princes. and thank gd we don't. but if we did phil would be a prince :#monday philm#liberty! the american revolution#philip seymour hoffman#psh#*#I wish he was still alive I want to see the look on his face when I ask him to sign a photo of him in this docuseries. what would he say

ANGOLI DI ROMAGNA
.
.
La Pineta
.
.
.
.
Vista la bella giornata di sole e le temperature, previste ovunque in salita, oggi non potevo far altro che andare a correre e a camminare al mare. A quel mare che mi è più vicino, e a cui, sono legato fin da bambino.
E allora ho scelto la Pineta.
La Pineta che va da Cervia a Tagliata di Pinarella. Un luogo prediletto dai runner, da chi ama la mountain bike oltre che dalle famiglie con bambini.
La pineta è un luogo speciale.
È ciò che resta oggi della grande foresta che copriva in tempi antichi, ( prima della conquista romana ) la fascia pianeggiante dell'Emilia-romagna.
In modo particolare, questa che ancor oggi viene chiamata "Pineta", vista la grande presenza di pini marittimi, parte da Ravenna e giunge all'incirca all'altezza di Cesenatico.
La "pineta", un luogo speciale, per diversi motivi.
Intanto rappresenta un biotopo per numerose specie di uccelli ( fringuelli, gazze, averle, gruccioni, usignoli, martin pescatori, passeri ) che da migliaia di anni trovano riparo in quest'isola verde, che corre parallela alle spiagge e alla linea della costa adriatica.
.
.
.
.
Ovviamente, la Pineta originaria, che è stata progressivamente ridotta (ed anche sostituita in diversi tratti), dai centri abitati (che si sono ampliati, nel corso dell'ultimo secolo, sotto la spinta del flusso turistico e dell'edificazione di tanti alberghi e pensioni a conduzione familiare), oggi ha una composizione mista.
Alcuni tratti vedono la presenza quasi esclusiva del pino marittimo, mentre in altri tratti, vi è la coesistenza di specie diverse ( lecci, querce, noci, robini, frassini, olmi, ontani e altre ancora).
In un'operazione che mi pare molto preziosa, i Comuni della zona, hanno deciso da alcuni decenni, di preservare questo polmone verde della Romagna, piantumando a ripetizione nuovi alberi e rinfoltendo le zone in cui la salsedine e l'aridità del terreno, prevalentemete sabbioso, aveva indebolito la presenza degli alberi.
È in questo modo che oggi, chi attraversa questa fascia verde, si trova a camminare dentro " un bosco coltivato".
Un bosco protetto, curato, e oggetto di molteplici attenzioni.
Infatti tutta la pineta è attraversata da diversi sentieri paralleli alla linea della costa (e quindi secondo la direttrice Nord Ovest - Sud Est), e dai frequenti attraversamenti, che dalla zona a monte della pineta, conducono alle spiaggie.
Ma l'aspetto caratteristico è il sottobosco che viene tenuto in ordine e ripulito periodicamente, oltre che dal personale comunale, anche da diverse associazioni di volontari. L'obiettivo è abbastanza chiaro: ridurre al minimo l'accumulo di foglie e di aghi, per minimizzare il rischio di incendi...
E così, chi arriva qui dentro, si trova a camminare in un terreno ombreggiato e adatto anche al pranzo al sacco, grazie alle numerose panchine ed ai tavoli di legno collocati uniformemente nella Pineta.
.
.
.
In questo modo, col tempo, l'intera Pineta, è diventata una sorta di seconda attrazione della costa romagnola.
Chi preferisce la vita di spiaggia ( gli ombrelloni, i lettini e i bagni in mare ), frequenta la fascia degli stabilimenti balneari.
Chi ama fare sport ( podisti, camminatori bikers ) e molte famiglie, che desiderano fare un pic-nic, sotto la maestosa copertura vegetale rappresentata dagli alberi, entra invece in pineta.
Qui, si possono utilizzare i percorsi attrezzati, (quelli con attrezzi specifici per l'esercizio fisico) oppure i sentieri all'ombra molto utili, sia per chi si sposta a piedi, che con le bikes, al riparo del sole e godendo di temperature molto più fresche rispetto alla spiaggia.

Brazil's Embraer Defense aims for greater internationalization under new head
The defense and security unit of Brazil's Embraer SA (EMBR3.SA) is aiming for greater presence abroad in 2023, focusing on boosting sales of its transportation aircraft the C-390 Millennium, the head of the division, Bosco da Costa Junior, said.
The Brazilian planemaker showcased the C-390 at an event in India earlier this month, and sees it ideally suited for the country as well as countries in Europe and the Middle East, said Costa Junior, tapped to lead the division in late 2022, in an interview with Reuters on Thursday.
The Dutch government last year selected five C-390 aircraft to replace its current fleet of Lockheed Martin's (LMT.N) C-130 Hercules, joining Brazil, Portugal and Hungary to have the plane among its ranks.
Embraer's goal is to expand that list and comes after Brazil and the firm in 2022 agreed to cut the Brazilian air force's orders for the C-390 to 19 from 22, settling a longstanding dispute between the parties.

The Child and the River by Henri Bosco
Whoever tyrannizes others tyrannizes himself. (p. 6)
***
My parents returned a week later. As you might imagine, Tante Martine said not a word about my escapade. Still, she complained a lot, in keeping with family custom, which demanded my parents feel sorry for her, especially after entrusting her with the household during their absence. They knew it was meaningless. As did she. But the sacred rituals of complaint and reproach were scrupulously observed.
Among the reasons for distress, I played my part.
"He suffered from insomnia the whole time," Tante Martine claimed. "He reads too much. It gets him all worked up."
"He does read too much," my father agreed, believing her.
And turning to me: "Pascalet, you need to have fun. At your age, you should be out having fun.'
They took my pulse. It was racing. They made me stick out my tongue. It was white.
My mother worried.
"Nothing to worry about," my father said. "It is because he is always sitting!"
They took away my books and gave me some senna. I swallowed it reluctantly, but I had to go through with it. After all, it was not too high a price to pay.
To console me, Tante Martine brought out some honey cakes she had baked in secret.
Still, the administration of this laxative, far from perking me up, engendered, deep within me, a mysterious lassitude. Everyone had their own explanation. For my father, it was my liver. For my mother, my spleen. And for Tante Martine, my lungs. "He does not breathe well," she would say. "Listen to him carefully. Pascalet's just one long sigh these days." It is true I sighed a lot, perhaps out of lassitude, perhaps from something else. But I did not know any better than my family what the cause of my malaise was, it was so obscure.
And still it grew, and nothing became any clearer.
They gave me back my books. "After all," my father grumbled, "let him read them if he wants!" But I did not read them. They bored me.
We were entering the month of June. We passed from June to July, from fruits to harvest, through beautiful weather. Cool mornings, clear nights, soft sunshine, beautiful evenings. Even in August, summer warmed but did not scorch the countryside, where the springs never once dried up.
And still I languished. An undefinable boredom weighed me down. The days seemed long. With nothing to do, I wandered here and there, around the threshing floor, through the orchard, under the old plane trees.
Sometimes, tired of the house and its surroundings, I went to sit on the path, on the edge of the ditch. And there, without pleasure, I waited.
Without pleasure and without hope. I would have liked for someone to come by, anyone: the postman, an animal, a dog, a donkey perhaps.
Bargabot no longer visited the house. What had become of him? No one ever spoke of him. His absence went unnoticed. And yet it was especially during the warm months that he used to bring us fish once a week. Now no more Bargabot, and no one was concerned.
But I thought about him, and thinking about him often kept me up at night. It made me sad. (pp. 73-75)
