a bit of Frantic Polanski

surfind am ajuns pe TCM unde era FRANTIC (1987), thriller hitchcockian de Polanski, pe care nu l-am mai revazut de ani de zile. Harrison Ford as the wrong man taking kinky advantage of a toy bear, muzica atmosferica de Ennio Morricone, mcguffin cu Statuia Libertatii si Emmanuelle Seigner, super-sexy, in primul sau film (introducing), unde a intilnit-o Polanski pe viitoarea sa nevasta. Final downbeat dar acum am citit ca studioul (Warner Bros) ar fi taiat 15 minute si cerut un final nou care s-a refilmat. Cine murea in el ? SPOILERS ahead: E un cadru final cu masina de gunoi care desarta lazile, apoi ei in taxi ca la incput si se imbratiseaza, Ï love you very much", si credits pe masina de gunoi cre pleaca si camera urca deaupra Parisului unde rasare soarele. E Michelle in lada sau ce semnificatie au cele 2 cadre aparent neutre si de ce ar fi in film ? Fiind un film de Polanski cred ca asa e, si m-a durut un pic. Shoot-out-ul final mi-a amintit si finalul la EXPOSED al lui Jmames Toback, cu teroristii in Paris, si un pic de Zulawski. Si mai vreua sa amintesc o glumitza polanskiana, cind Harrison/Walker intra pe geam in mansarda Michellei si face zgomot se ascunde in dormitor. Raul nr.1 (cu vocea dublata de Polanksi) verifica geamlicul si vede 2 porumbei care in mod ireverent si-o trag !!!

si am gasit un articol frumos din Guardian scris de David Thomson despre Polanksi: End Game for Polanski!

daca stiam sa fac mash-up's puneam fata lui Roman in locul lui Harrison si posterul ar fi exprimat destul de corect starea familiei Polanski, "Danger. Desire. Desperation" !

Elton John live-tiny dancer-s

l-am mai vazut pe 21 iunie 2003 pe Cotroceni, cind au dat drumul la moca si ne-am luat tzeapa cu bilete destul de scumpe, dar am stat macar pe alea de A.
Acum n-am luat bilete si cu valul de caldura, cod galben rosu si albastru, am zis sa ma duc pina la Piata Constitutiei. Numai Geo s-a aratat destul de brav s-o faca, si ajunsi acolo moca bilete. Casa inchisa. Ce-or avea in cap oamenii astia ? Plus ca Elton a inceput pe la 8 si zece, pe lumina si caldura. Dar am intrat finally (thanks CRM), pe piesa norocoasa, Tiny Dancer, si am purces pina in fata. A cintat vreo 2 ore 20, tot minus Pinball Wizard, cu care l-am vazut in 2003.

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
chorus
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
[repeat chorus]
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly


one of the best LA songs, knew it was about Bebbe Buel the groupie, but it seems it was about Taupin's future wife...but also made famous by Penny Lane from Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe...
