The Saint: Vendetta for the Saint - Part 1 (6.15, ITC, 1969)

"Want some advice? Go easy."

"And mine to you is pull out - before I start breaking his world up."

"What?"

"You heard."

"Dear man, have you any idea what you're taking on?"

"No, but I'll pick it up as I go along."

"You won't get six feet. Well, maybe: laid out in your best suit."

BCMC & andplay Live Show Review: 2/20, Constellation, Chicago

BCMC

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Tuesday night marked the beginning of the Peter Margasak-curated Frequency Festival, an annual event hosted by Constellation that focuses on contemporary classical and experimental music. Though this year's lineup is heavy on microtonal music, specifically string players, the headliner of night one was a guitar-and-synth-wizard supergroup. BCMC is guitarist Bill MacKay and Cave/Bitchin Bajas multi-instrumentalist Cooper Crain. They had been playing live together for a few years before releasing their debut album Foreign Smokes last year via Drag City. Unlike what I imagine was the experience of many folks in the crowd on Tuesday, this was my first time seeing BCMC live. Witnessing their performance after their album was released, meaning I had a number of months to digest it, gave me a greater appreciation for how the duo was able to, live, build off of their compositions.

BCMC started off with abstract sounds, gradually becoming more concrete before reverting back to rounded noise. MacKay's bluesy guitar riffs embedded within Crain's synthesizer hum, replete with a sense of motion akin to a chugging train, simultaneously swirling and gentle. At times, the songs turned percussive, via pulsations, as MacKay either meandered or ripped slide guitar licks. Even Crain got an opportunity to solo on the keyboard on "The Swarm". Simultaneously tactile and droney, BCMC were able to lull you into hypnosis and suddenly capture you at the command of their instruments.

andPlay

The opening set from NYC-based string duo andPlay, meanwhile, set the tone (no pun intended) for the rest of the festival's ethos. Violinist Maya Bennardo and violist Hannah Levinson performed the two pieces that make up their latest album Translucent Harmonies (Another Timbre), both of which use just intonation. Kristofer Svensson's "Vid stenmuren blir tanken blomma" (“By the Stone Wall, Thoughts Become Flower”) emphasized extremely short strokes of different lengths and volume, using pauses and ultimate silence to create a sense of tension and disintegration. At times, one player would play a note--a mere pluck--and the other would continue their stroke, resembling a sort of synaptic process. Ultimately, the piece was paradoxically meditative, consistent in its lack of consistency. Their second piece, Catherine Lamb's "Prisma Interius VIII", was comparatively deliberate, the players playing in tandem at times and not just off of each other. As a duo, in contrast to larger ensembles who have played on other recorded versions of the piece, Bennardo and Levinson were able to strip "Prisma Interius VIII" down to its essential elements. Though there were many contrasts between andPlay and BCMC--in instrumentation, in groove (or lack thereof), in space--the two acts shared a common desire to hold your patience and deep attention, toy with your expectations, and make you reflect.

Connections to Kristof's Book of Lies #7 (Migi & Dali Observation)

Click here to return to the top of this thread.

In this post, I wanted to mention Akiyama and Osamu, and a possible parallel to another character in Kristof's Book of Lies trilogy.

Of course, spoilers from both series will be discussed.

Akiyama is a boy who was initially lonely and made fun of by others for his bird-related hobbies, but after he met Hitori, he was no longer alone and became the twins' first friend.

He was very supportive, assisting Migi with his search for Sali, allowing Migi to stay at his house after having his heart crushed, and protecting the twins' secret even when they were suspected of murder.

He may have even been in love with the twins, which explains why there's quite a lot of fanart of them.

Furthermore, Akiyama possesses a resemblance to the twins' adoptive father Osamu that I just cannot ignore.

Not only do they look similar, but they also have similar personalities in being rather soft-mannered and giving advice to the twins when they need it.

We have never seen Akiyama and Mr. Sonoyama interact before, so I thought it was a bit strange that this resemblance suddenly appeared after the timeskip.

I've even heard some say that Akiyama looks like a younger version of Osamu, or that Osamu is an older version of Akiyama. Perhaps I'll explore this in a different post...

Anyway, after reading the Book of Lies Trilogy, I found that Peter N. was quite similar to Akiyama and Osamu.

In The Proof, Peter is a young government official, specifically the Secretariat of the Revolutionary Party. He is also discreetly homosexual, as he kisses Lucas during their first meeting, and claims to have no desire to attract a woman after being described as a handsome, masculine, and sad man.

Furthermore, throughout The Proof, Peter always supports Lucas no matter what. For example, after Lucas gets his heart broken by Clara the librarian (kind of like Migi's heartbreak with Sali the library girl), Lucas visits Peter, who lets Lucas stay with him. After Lucas beats up a renowned psychiatrist who was having an affair with Clara, it is implied that Peter helps clear up any trouble with the police afterwards. Nonetheless, even after finding out about Lucas' questionable relationship with Clara, Yasmine's strange disappearance (which Lucas was probably responsible for), and Lucas' delusion in pretending to be Claus, he still supports and protects Lucas, and was truly his best friend. That's why Peter in The Proof reminds me of Akiyama.

In The Third Lie, it's revealed that the events of The Proof were lies, though Peter was still a real person. After Lucas crossed the border when he was fifteen, he was taken into a youth house (after lying about being an eighteen-year-old boy named Claus), where a man named Peter becomes his tutor. Together with his wife Clara, Peter looks after Lucas, giving him everything he needs, and even supports Lucas' decision to become a writer despite saying that "writing is no way to earn a living". In a sense, Peter and Clara became parental figures to Lucas (though he doesn't refer to them in this manner), which is probably why they are the only characters named by Lucas in his memories of the past, and why he decided to include them in his fabrication of events in The Proof. That's why Peter in The Third Lie reminds me of Mr. Sonoyama.

Putting all these together, it makes sense to me why Akiyama and Mr. Sonoyama are given an uncanny resemblance, as they both serve as a reference to Peter, an important figure in Lucas' life, just as they were in Migi/Dali's life.

Get In Line: Cocaine Bear Review

Pictured above is the “Cocaine Bear” poster.

Image Credit: Universal Pictures

So, usually I cover movies that are straight horror, but I decided to do something different and discuss this movie. This movie has an insane premise with an interesting story that inspired the movie. Usually, horror comedies are hit and miss for me, but I decided to give it a watch. Let’s get straight to the spoiler free review and hope no cocaine addicted bears are around.

Cocaine Bear is a 2023 horror comedy thriller directed by Elizabeth Banks who also produced this movie, Produced by Max Handelman, Aditya Sood, Brian Duffield, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller. Cocaine Bear is written by Jimmy Warden, and the soundtrack is done by Mark Mothersbaugh. The cast involves Keri Russell as Sari, Alden Ehrenreich as Eddie, O’Shea Jackson Jr. as Daveed, Ray Liotta as Syd, Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Bob, Brooklynn Prince as Dee Dee, Christian Convery as Henry, Margo Martindale as Ranger Liz, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Peter, Kristofer Hivju as Olaf, Hannah Hoekstra as Elsa, Ayoola Smart as Officer Reba, Aaron Holliday as Kid (Stache), J.B. Moore as Vest, Leo Hanna as Ponytail, Kahyun Kim as Beth, Scott Seiss as Tom, Matthew Rhys as Andrew Thornton, and Allan Henry as “Bear Performer”.

The Plot:

An oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converge on a Georgia forest where a huge black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine.

Positives:

One positive I have about “Cocaine Bear” is that it knows what it is, and what I mean by that is that it’s a movie about a bear on cocaine, that alone sounds crazy, but they have fun with that premise. The real black bear died on December 23rd,1985 after eating a large amount of cocaine from the containers, the total amount of cocaine that was eaten was 75 pounds which was worth $20 million ($55.6 million, adjusted for inflation).

Pictured above is the ambulance scene from “Cocaine Bear” (2023)

The second positive I have about this movie was the dark humor throughout, the reason I loved the dark humor throughout as some of the death scenes are so unexpected and over the top that you can’t just help but laugh. The dialogue was creative and some characters’ reactions to certain situations had me laughing.

The final positive I have about this movie was the cast as they understood the assignment, the acting reminds me of an 80’s b-horror movie. Keri Russell nailed her performance as Sari, and I must give props to the child actors (Brooklynn Prince and Christian Convery.) But this does have some drawbacks which we’ll get to.

Pictured above is the door scene from “Cocaine Bear.”

Negatives:

One negative I have is the lack of character development. I know it’s not supposed to be taken seriously, but I would’ve enjoyed seeing how each character’s story progresses since they are all intertwined. Another negative I have is that I felt that the movie wasn’t scary enough, I know the real bear died via overdose, but can you imagine how terrifying would it be to have a 500-pound black bear high on cocaine chasing you. I honestly wish they could have played up on the fear factor.

My Overall thoughts:

While this movie has some negatives, don’t let them affect your viewing experience as it’s one of the movies where you turn your mind off and eat some popcorn. If you enjoy campy, gory, and darkly comedic horror movies, this one is for you. But I’m glad that studios are letting directors make the movies they want even if they are based on…as I said before insane backstories. This movie is amazing in its own way with its over the top violence, comedic timing, and action throughout which only increases its re-watchability.

Quote

The politicians who lied to us — George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to name but a few — extinguished millions of lives, including thousands of American lives, and left Iraq along with Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya and Yemen in chaos. They exaggerated or fabricated conclusions from intelligence reports to mislead the public. The big lie is taken from the playbook of totalitarian regimes. The cheerleaders in the media for war — Thomas Friedman, David Remnick, Richard Cohen, George Packer, William Kristol, Peter Beinart, Bill Keller, Robert Kaplan, Anne Applebaum, Nicholas Kristof, Jonathan Chait, Fareed Zakaria, David Frum, Jeffrey Goldberg, David Brooks and Michael Ignatieff — were used to amplify the lies and discredit the handful of us, including Michael Moore, Robert Scheer and Phil Donahue, who opposed the war. These courtiers were often motivated more by careerism than idealism. They did not lose their megaphones or lucrative speaking fees and book contracts once the lies were exposed, as if their crazed diatribes did not matter. They served the centers of power and were rewarded for it.

Game of Thrones Convention 2022 - Day3:

It has come to an end.

Probably the most active day of all three. People definitely turned up to see Kit Harington and as previously stated he looked well and in good spirit. He was involved in two panels, one in the beginning and one at the very end. Looking back at my previous posts I had noticed a few panels missing on the list. This was not intentional, it’s just hard to follow what is happening on what days, when you are not attending yourself and require information from different observers.

Now that many panels have been uploaded online, I plan to do a few separate posts dissecting the panels one-by-one and posting any nuggets I find along the way. For this post specifically, I have decided to focus only on Kit Harington’s two Q & A Panels.

After watching the whole video I feel I am certain about a few things. Details about the Snow show was never suppose to leak so early and I don’t think it will ever get green lit or go into production until Winds of Winter is released or close to it at least. My feelings on the Jon Snow show is, Kit does risk putting too much of himself into the character, I think he’s always struggled with that. This may be helped with Georges input and say, however, it does seem that George has already resigned to the fact that HBO’s Jon Snow and ASOIAF Jon Snow are two very different beings.

The show is likely to be a one-off with 10 episodes and if it is filmed during other HOTD seasons, it will probably be low budget, meaning very few scenes of Ghost, no big kings landing scenes and limited cast. Regardless I think this project was always suppose to be limited in all areas, heavily focusing on characters rather than big sequences. Almost guaranteed roles is Kristofer Hivju (Tormund) and Sophie turner (Sansa). Everyone else I’m unsure of, possible small appearances from Isaac Hempstead Wright and John Bradley. Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke, doubtful.

There is a chance this takes place 10 years later, Jon Snow will eventually re-connect with family and in turn re-connect with himself. Throw in a possible love interest (would be funny if it was just Rose in a wig) and a child he can care for again whether his own or one he adopts. More Wildings, more black knights and probably hashing out issues and righting wrongs. One of those being accepting he is not Ned and that Ned was his own man and so is Jon.

To be honest, there are so many ways in which direction this show could go, so I don’t know. We don’t even know if the nights watch pledge counts anymore and if he took it again. What I do know is, I have a lot of panels to catch up on and I am already exhausted...

So, I’ve been working on my family tree on FamilyEcho and so that it is large is... an understatement. At the time of me working on this post, there are 1329 individual people on this family tree and I’m no where close to being done.

And while I really, really, really REALLY want to share every single person on this tree, there are a few spoilers on it that I’d rather not share. So in the meantime, here are some randomly selected people from the tree that have portraits.

Top-Left: Adeline, the Duchess of Eisley (1924-2015)

Adeline is the mother of Peter, the Duke of Eisley and by extension, the paternal grandmother of the King’s paternal cousins, including the Duke of Eisley.

Top Right: Jacqueline “Jackie” Aiken (1961-1983)

Jackie Aiken is the most well-known royal mistress in modern Carrington history, despite her short tenure as King Kristof VI’s mistress. Due to the nature of the relationship (and the ending of the relationship), mistresses were banned from having roles in court like they had previously (i.e. the passing of the ruby tiara) and King Louis, who was fiercely devoted to his wife, ignored the practice altogether.

Bottom Left: Alice Lee Longsworth (1900-1943)

The eldest daughter of former Prime Minister Franklin Lee and his first wife, and by extension, the King’s great-great aunt and the great-aunt of Queen Eliza.

Bottom: Right: Margaret, the Countess of Oden (1908-1984)

Pictured here on her wedding day, this was one of the last photos of Margaret allowed to be taken of her until the coronation of her grandson, Louis. Margaret is the great-grandmother of the King and the mother of Queen Helena of Carrington.

College protesters demand universities divest from Israel amid war in Gaza

May 5, 2024 #Protestors#Israel#Palestine

More than 2,300 arrests have been made at campus protests across the country. NYT Columnist Nicholas Kristof argues that while the intent of these encampments in opposing Israel’s war in Gaza may be noble, “more aggressive actions” taken by protesters may diminish their ability to make an impact. Jewish Currents editor-at-large Peter Beinart agrees that reports of antisemitism can harm protesters’ cause, but argues some protests are yielding results and provoking dialogue about divestment.
