Un var din Salt Lake

un var de-al meu din Salt Lake City /Utah, s-a suparat pe m-ui-sthii de la Def Leppard
ceea ce imi aminteste de comentariile recente desptre Heavy Metal ale lui Joe Elliot, criticate in Uncut (scrisoarea lunii trecute), sword and dragons ?

An angry fan who was ejected from a recent Def Leppard show in Salt Lake City put on a pyrotechnics show of his own outside the Usana Amphitheater Aug. 25.

The man, who was reportedly intoxicated and spilling beer on other concertgoers, was kicked out of the show but sneaked back in, police told the Salt Lake Tribune.

After he was caught and thrown out a second time, the man proceeded to light a fire in a field near the shed, police said, burning a 30 foot by 50 foot patch in the grass.

comentariul final de pe pollstar e priceless:

He probably went home after the show and beat his wives.

memories of Pyromania probabil, check out Joe's face...

Cluny Brown (1946)

Nu vi se pare ciudat sa gasiti referinte cel putin ciudate, coincidente fantastice in viata sau in ceea ce vedeti, ce faceti ? Dupa ce toata ziua m-am gindit la profesorul Siletski din To Be or Not To Be (1942/Ernst Lubitsch, remake Mel Brooks 1983), la revizionarea Inglorius Basterds, am vazut ultimul film complet al lui Lubitsch, anume Cluny Brown din 1946. Cu Charles Boyer si Jennifer Jones. Si dau un check pe imdb si vad la Boyer, nu numai ca s-a nascut azi acum 110 ani, dar a murit acum 2 zile, cind am luat filmul, ok, acum 31 de ani.

date of Birth: 28 August 1899, Figeac, Lot, Midi-Pyrénées, France
Date of Death:26 August 1978,Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Took a fatal dose of barbiturates two days following his wife's death.

So what ? just odd , nici un motiv pentru mine sa vad filmul acum decit ca asa s-a intimplat. And what a movie ! Se vede singur ! Comedie spumoasa, dupa un roman al vremii, cu Boyer as a Czech con man irezistibil (escroc ceh) pe nume Adam Belinski (riff cu anteriorul Lubitsch To Be or Not To Be !), si Jennifer Jones sexy si cu gimmick de instalator, foarte woman lib pt vremea aceea si poante extrem de subtile sexuale, cu Peter Lawford in rol secundar (ca tot a murit Ted Kennedy)

Belinski: I know Hitler.

Sir Henry: Oh, yes, he's written a book, hasn't he?

Belinski: Yes.

Sir Henry: Big success, isn't it?

Belinski: Very big.

Sir Henry: Well, what else does he want? Why doesn't he lie down and keep quiet?

Boyer

Movie Reviews: Inglourious Basterds
21 August 2009 1:16 PM, PDT

There is something about Quentin Tarantino's work that polarizes both his audiences in general and film critics in particular. Never was that fact more evident than it is with his latest film, Inglourious Basterds, in which Tarantino suggests that World War II could have ended far more quickly if the good guys had set aside such niceties as the Geneva Convention and had bashed a few German soldiers' heads with baseball bats and scalped them instead. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times calls it "a big, bold audacious war movie," and applauds: "For once, the basterds get what's coming to them." On the other hand, Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel argues that the movie tops every other World War II movie in "awfulness." Inglourious Basterds, he writes, "is slow, dumb -- and in a first for Qt in his cinema savant career -- incompetent." Manohla Dargis in the New York Times agrees. "Rarely has one of his movies felt as interminable as this one," she writes. On a positive note, she praises the performance of Austrian actor Christoph Waltz as Nazi Col. Hans Landa and says that the film represents another testament to Tarantino's love for films. "The problem is that by making the star attraction of his latest film a most delightful Nazi, one whose smooth talk is as lovingly presented as his murderous violence, Mr. Tarantino has polluted that love." Claudia Puig in USA Today, however, is among those heaping praise on the film. Tarantino's "tall tale, with its tense and jangly pacing," she writes, "is immediately riveting." On the other hand, Joanne Kaufman remarks in the Wall Street Journal that "nothing about the emotionally unmoored Inglourious Basterds adds up. Whether it's parody, farce or a fever dream is anyone's guess." But Tom Maurstad in the Dallas Morning News says that what it really adds up to is "tour-de-force filmmaking." Nonsense, contends Michael Sragow in the Baltimore Sun. "The only hope for Inglourious Basterds is that audiences will embrace it the way the Broadway crowd did 'Springtime for Hitler' [in Mel Brooks's The Producers]: because it's so bad they think it's good. »

Jewish Critics Chime In on Inglourious Basterds
21 August 2009 12:56 PM, PDT

Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds may be getting mixed reviews from leading U.S. critics; it is getting scathing reviews from the Jewish press. The national Jewish Daily Forward calls it "Jewish revenge porn." In Connecticut's Jewish Ledger, Michael Fox writes that since the film doesn't pretend to be historically accurate, "there's no percentage in railing against [it] as blathering, self-indulgent drivel." Nevertheless, he writes, Tarantino's plot amounts to "pages and pages and pages of amusingly pointless dialogue." He concludes, "Tarantino's riff on Nazis and Jews may amuse and satisfy less mature audiences. For those with a deeper and fuller understanding of the Third Reich and the Holocaust, particularly one gleaned from sources other than action movies, it is shockingly superficial." The movie features scenes in which the "good guys" scalp German soldiers, beat them to death with baseball bats for refusing to reveal the location of comrades, carve swastikas into the foreheads of those who do cooperate, and commit suicide bombings. Jonathan Foreman in Britain's Jewish Chronicle comments, "There is something about the idea of inspiring holy terror by mutilation, decapitations, etc. that inevitably evokes today's real-life masters of cruelty and demoralization by atrocity, al-Qaeda." »
