Cop Land
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo rimasti ancorati sul genere horror ma spostandoci in Spagna e per la precisione agli inizi degli anni 2000, dove abbiamo ripreso a parlare di un regista che apprezzo profondamente con il film Fragile – A Ghost Story. La storia è ambientata nell’isola di Wight dove l’ospedale pediatrico Mercy Falls sta per chiudere e i bambini…

Onstage at the Odd Spot in Liverpool on March 29, 1962; photos by Alan Swerdlow.
“It was an option to include George in the songwriting team. John and I had really talked about it. I remember walking up past Woolton Church with John one morning and going over the question. ‘Without wanting to be too mean to George, should three of us write or would it be better to keep it simple?’ We decided we’d just keep to two of us.” - Paul McCartney, The Beatles Anthology (x)

After years of helping their hubbies climb the ladder of success, three mid-life Manhattanites have been dumped for a newer, curvier model. But the trio is determined to turn their pain into gain.

Uscito nelle sale il 9 novembre 1988, ha come personaggio principale una bambola di nome Chucky, all'interno della quale un serial-killer ha riversato la propria anima in punto di morte; il suo scopo è quello di rientrare in un corpo umano, precisamente il corpo della prima persona alla quale ha rivelato la sua vera identità, ed in breve tempo, altrimenti rimarrà intrappolato per sempre nel pupazzo. Per tale obiettivo dovrà scegliere Andy, un bambino che riceve la bambola come regalo di compleanno. Sadico, crudele, astuto e determinato, Chucky riuscirà quasi nel suo intento, mietendo numerose vittime sul suo cammino.
Il film venne distribuito negli Stati Uniti il 9 novembre 1988 dalla MGM/UA Communications Co. ed incassò più di 44 milioni di dollari a fronte di un budget di produzione di 9 milioni di dollari.[1][2][3]
Il fatto che sia divenuto un cult,[4] e il successo ottenuto al botteghino, hanno generato un media franchise che include una serie di sei sequel, merchandising, fumetti, un film reboot uscito nel giugno 2019 e una serie televisiva che è iniziata nell'ottobre 2021.
Nella notte del 9 Novembre 1988, il famigerato strangolatore e serial killer di Chicago Charles Lee Ray, stanato dalla polizia, è inseguito fra le strade della città dal detective Mike Norris. Dopo essere stato ferito alla gamba, Charles tenta di raggiungere il furgone sul quale lo attende il complice Eddie Caputo ma questi, vedendo il trambusto e una macchina della polizia in avvicinamento, fugge abbandonando l'amico. Ormai privo di speranze, Charles si rifugia in un negozio di giocattoli dove Norris gli spara, giurando vendetta contro il detective e il compagno che lo ha tradito, mette in pratica un rito voodoo su un bambolotto "Tipo Bello" per trasferire la sua anima al suo interno, il rito causa una tempesta di fulmini sul negozio, che ne provoca l'esplosione, Norris sopravvive e ritrova il cadavere dello strangolatore con il bambolotto accanto.
Il mattino seguente, Andy Barclay chiede alla madre Karen un bambolotto "Tipo Bello" come regalo per il suo sesto compleanno. Essendo in ristrettezze economiche, Karen acquista un "Tipo Bello" da un vagabondo, all'insaputa di tutti, il bambolotto acquistato si rivela essere proprio quello posseduto dall'anima del serial killer il quale, dopo essersi presentato ad Andy come Chucky, miete la sua prima vittima, Maggie Peterson un'amica di Karen che stava facendo da babysitter ad Andy, facendola precipitare dalla finestra del condominio dopo averla colpita in faccia con un martello giocattolo. Sulla scena del crimine, Andy cerca di convincere il detective Norris che l'assassino è il suo bambolotto Chucky ma non viene creduto; anzi, il detective sospetta che sia stato lo stesso Andy ad aver ucciso Maggie, il che fa arrabbiare Karen, la quale lo caccia via.
Il giorno dopo, Andy marina la scuola portando Chucky con sé. Arrivato all'abitazione di Eddie Caputo, il complice che lo aveva abbandonato, Chucky lo uccide accendendo il forno, che Eddie gli spara contro facendo saltare in aria l'abitazione, perché sentiva la presenza di un intruso. La polizia decide di portare Andy all'ospedale psichiatrico infantile, dopo averlo ritrovato presso la scena del crimine; quando il bambino ripete che è stato Chucky a provocare l'esplosione, e la madre lo separa dal bambolotto. Una volta a casa, però, Karen scopre con orrore che Andy stava dicendo la verità perché si rende conto che il bambolotto funzionava senza le batterie che erano incluse da inserire, Chucky la assale e fugge dall'appartamento. Karen corre da Norris e terrorizzata gli racconta l'accaduto, ma il detective la crede pazza, anche lui però si ricrede quando il vagabondo che aveva venduto il bambolotto a Karen racconta di averlo raccolto nella stessa notte dalle macerie del negozio di giocattoli nel quale Norris aveva ucciso Charles Lee Ray. Chucky tenta di vendicarsi di Norris assalendolo in macchina provocando un incidente stradale, ma lui riesce a salvarsi e spara a Chucky, che fugge via.
Chucky fa visita a John Bishop, detto "Dottor Death", l'uomo che gli ha insegnato il voodoo e dopo averlo sottomesso usando contro di lui una bambolina voodoo con il suo stesso aspetto, gli chiede perché prova dolore fisico e sanguina per il colpo di pistola di Norris nonostante egli sia un bambolotto, John gli spiega che il suo corpo di plastica si sta vitalizzando, quindi Chucky si sta tramutando in una bambolotto umano e mortale, John rivela a Chucky che l'unico modo per sfuggire a questo destino è quello di trasferire la propria anima nel corpo della prima persona alla quale ha rivelato la sua identità, ovvero Andy; Chucky poi accoltella al cuore alla bambolina connessa fisicamente a John, e si reca all'ospedale psichiatrico. Norris e Karen arrivano all'abitazione di John il quale prima di morire, rivela ai due che per uccidere Chucky devono colpirlo al cuore.
Chucky arriva all'ospedale psichiatrico, e ucciso il dottor Ardmore con un apparecchio dell'elettroshock, e insegue Andy che si è già recato a casa sua, Karen e Norris arrivano all'appartamento per salvare Andy, che sta per essere posseduto da Chucky, Karen e Andy riescono a bruciare vivo Chucky nel camino e dopo essere stati ri-attaccati da un redivivo Chucky, Norris spara al cuore del bambolotto uccidendolo definitivamente e mettendo così fine alla minaccia, mentre l'ambulanza e la polizia arrivano in loro soccorso.

Art school broke up for Christmas on 18 December [1959], when John Lennon actively participated in an event there for the only time: he had a leading role in the students’ pantomime. Cinderella was a knockabout laff staged in the basement canteen; John and Jeff Mahomed were ugly sisters Hortense and Gwyneth, Hort and Gwyn, kitted out by the life model June Furlong in dresses, pink laced corsets, hats and earrings. They minced around the stage as effeminate ballet dancers; Stuart Sutcliffe was Fairy Snow (a brand of washing powder, the name of which amused), Rod Murray was Boris, John Chase was Prince Charming and Alan Swerdlow was Buttons. Ella, so called, was played by June Harry, who John always called Hairy June. Her main recollection is of them ‘getting pissed and falling off the stage.’ Two pages of typescript survive, written by John, Stu and Rod at the Percy Street flat; John’s stamp is unmistakable, notably in a sequence for himself and Jeff written in Shakespearean nonsense rhyme, and in giveaway lines such as ‘It’s like a cripples’ tea party’ and ‘her with her National Health hump and varicose veins’. The script also incorporated a recurring tease at Stuart’s expense - ‘I got a painting in the John Moores show’ is said eleven times in these two pages.
- Tune In: Extended Special Edition by Mark Lewisohn (ch. 16)

Just a boy and his Bengal tiger
"Just a boy and his tiger", a review of 'The Life of Pi' for the National Theatre Live, until 31 August.
“YOU scare me, but when I am with you, I feel better,” says Pi to Richard Parker, the Bengal tiger. Photograph courtesy National Theatre Live. VERY OCCASIONALLY, THE world offers you an experience which is so utterly perfect in how it touches you, intellectually and spiritually, emotionally and with quirkiness, that it will change how you look at the world. This is what you can expect in the…

Child’s Play (1988)
The premise of this movie is kind of hilarious. A murderer performs a voodoo ritual to place his soul inside a doll instead of dying, and then the doll is brought home to a little boy. Weird things start happening, and the little boy blames the doll, so he’s taken to a hospital. While he’s there, his mom learns he was telling the truth. It’s not that scary, you can only be so afraid of a tiny doll. But Chucky is part of the Hall of Fame of slasher franchises, in a way. He’s in league with Freddy, Jason, Michael, Leatherface, Pinhead, and Jigsaw. And that in itself is even funnier. All of that aside, I would never elect to watch this again.
Rating: F. I hear the next few movies were better, but this was just not a good horror film. It’s also not a teen horror movie, like most of the other popular franchises.

The Beatles on stage at The Odd Spot in Liverpool on 29 March 1962. Photos by Alan Swerdlow.
“Now, we’re trying to get as funky as we were in the Cavern. ‘Cos in the Cavern and Hamburg, all we really were was thump-thump-thump. But so together, you know, because we were playing all the time." - George Harrison, NME, 28 September 1968
Q: “Now that John has the Plastic Ono Band would you like to get a bunch of musicians together for ‘live’ gigs?” George Harrison: “Yeah, quite definitely, but I’d like to do it with the Beatles but not on the old scale, that’s the only drag. With the Ono Band and me playing with Delaney and Bonnie there’s no expectations because it’s really quite anonymous, you just go and do whatever you can do. Once the Beatles are advertised and all the crowds come along they expect too much. I’d like to do the Beatles thing, but more like Delaney and Bonnie with us augmented with a few more singers, and a few trumpets, saxes, organs, and all that… It’s just the idea of going to the show as part of the audience and then next minute grabbing my guitar and going with them… it’s the thrill of doing something.” - interview conducted by Roy Carr, NME, 20 December 1969 (x)

When Van Sant sent [River] to hang out at the City Nightclub, where the young street hustlers relaxed after work, owner Lannie Swerdlow threw him out, not believing he was River Phoenix. “He looked like a bum off Old Town,” said Swerdlow. “He was ragged and he looked horrible. He said, ‘I’m River Phoenix.’ I asked to see his I.D. He didn’t have any so I said, ‘Well, if you’re River Phoenix you can certainly afford to pay the six-dollar cover charge.’ He said he didn’t have any money so I told him to stop putting me on and had the bouncers escort him out of the club.”
It was only after someone working on the film, who happened to be at the club, recognized Phoenix and asked Swerdlow why he had thrown him out that the actor was allowed back in. Later, Phoenix filmed a scene at the City, where he has a narcoleptic attack on the dance floor; it was not included in the final cut. Eric Alan Edwards, Idaho’s director of photography, says Phoenix wore his role “in a very raw way.” “He looked like a street kid. I’ve never seen anybody so intent on living his role”

A ROOM WITH A VIEW: Paul Nash’s ‘Skylight Landscape’ (1941) is a painting of the view across to the Malvern Hills. It has such a strange composition, for it is framed by the opening mechanism of the window. It makes us feel like we’re up high seeking out an imperfect peek at a sublime scene. It was painted at Madams, the home of his friend and great patron Clare Neilson, near Newent in Gloucestershire. The celebrated ‘Monster Field’ was on the adjacent farm, and Clare collected numerous works by him, most notably ‘Event on the Downs’ now in the @govartcol - much of their correspondence, photographs and works on paper were donated to @pallanthousegallery through @artfund by her godson Jeremy Greenwood and his partner Alan Swerdlow. Amongst them are photographs of Nash at this window - for he created a kind of studio in the space from where he painted the view across to the Malvern Hills. It reflects Nash’s interest in the interplay of objects and landscape, which is almost metaphysical. Jeremy remembers meeting Nash when he was staying at Madame as child during the war, and watching him paint. This is part of our displays in the 18th century townhouse - amongst a group of works including Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Tristan Hillier and John Armstrong. #paulnash #interior #malvern #landscape #neoromantic #clareneilson #modernism #modernbritishart #arthistory #pallanthousegallery (at Pallant House Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFgh2FOF_jM/?igshid=evuxejbrrpcn
