Screened at the 2024 Philadelphia Film Festival.

Fifty-two years later, living in a 24-hour media world, it’s a bit hard to imagine that the terrorist attacks on the 1972 Munich Olympics – in which a Palestinian militant organization called Black September held the Israeli Olympic team hostage – was pretty much the first time that the whole world watched tragic news occurring in real time on television.

Yet that is the history. This slightly off-center look at the events of those days – as seen at a distance by the broadcasters who were covering the story rather than the terrorists, or the victims, or even by German law enforcement – makes for a fascinating look at both the tragedy and at the work and ethics of journalism.

This second part is particularly interesting because in general the journalists covering what happened were not newsmen, they were sports reporters covering the pageantry of the event when it took a sudden very dark turn. However, they were the only ones there to let the world know what was happening. (Future anchorman Peter Jennings, who at the time was an ABC News correspondent, was on the scene and played a big part in covering the story, too.)

The horrible events of that Olympic season were one of the first times that the world experienced terrorism in such stark terms. However, September 5 does not look too deeply at the politics of the occurrence, or even the specifics of what happened – as said earlier, this was a look at the hostage crisis from the outside.

It does show the essential incompetence of the German law enforcement. This happened less than 30 years after the end of World War II, and the country looked at the Olympics as a chance to repair the country’s image, and the idea of 11 Jews being held hostage on their soil so soon after the Holocaust certainly worked against that narrative.

However, the most important narrative drive is with the journalists, trying to navigate an extremely horrific and tricky situation. They don’t always get it right – it took them a bit too long to realize that the terrorists were using their broadcasts for information, too – but the people in front of and behind the camera are doing their best to keep the world informed.

The hero – if there is any hero of the story – was Geoffrey Mason (John Magaro), an ABC Sports overnight producer who was new to the job when he was suddenly thrown in way over his head. Having to negotiate the responsibility of sharing the news with the ethics of his profession, he also had to deal with interference from the Germans, the police, and of course the Olympic committee.

September 5 is full of spectacular acting, although for the most part the cast is relatively lesser known. (Peter Sarsgaard as exec Roone Arlidge and Ben Chaplin as producer Marvin Bader are probably as close as you’re going to get to Hollywood types in the cast.) It is tightly filmed by Swiss writer/director Tim Fehlbaum and works both as an enlightening history lesson and as a taut narrative.

September 5 is an extremely intense thriller, even though most people do know the final outcome. In fact, that knowledge only adds to the gravity of the film. Expect to see this one in lots of year-end best-of lists.

An Occasional Attempt to Read, Discuss and Review the Wonders of Comics By: John Rafferty, cranky old man, and Fan of All Things Comics

Flash #756 - 757 Reverse Flash Family / Legion of Zoom part 1

Writer: Joshua Wiliamson Artist: Christian Duce / Rafa Sandoval & Jordi Tarragona

‘I know my Daddy didn’t do it! You’re lying!’

Hooooo Boy!

Am I the only one that thinks this is just taking tooooo long to play out?

This is a book about speedsters, right?

When did Barry Allen become such a whiny twit? I mean, Iris has bigger stones than he does...

Hoping this gets better, because right now, Williamson is killing this book for me. It’s a shame, too, because some of the artwork is absolutely brilliant.

Hat’s off to Duce, and Sandoval and Tarragona, for making so much of this.

Billionaire Island #1-2 (Ahoy Comics)

Writer: Mark Russell Art: Steve Pugh

‘Oh My God! Oh My God! Forty years in Action Movies, and I’m finally doing it, For Real!’

Imagine, if you will, a time where the rich don’t want to pay taxes any more, and will do just about anything to avoid doing so...

Welcome to Billionaire Island, conceived by Rick Canto, majority stock holder of AGGRO Corp.

Sanctuary to the Ultra-Rich, where anything goes, nothing is illegal, what happens there, well it definitely stays there. And, anyone who comes snooping around, well, they get the hamster wheel.

Enter our two protagonists, Shelley Bly (biting humor if there ever is some), and a mysterious assassin, who makes short work, and then assumes the identity of the CEO of AGGRO Corp, Corey Spagnola.

Where Pugh and Russell take us, well, I’m not sure it matters, as long as the laughs and the satire are as biting and uproarious as they already have been!

Hamster Wheel!

Road To Empire One-Shot

Writer: Robbie Thompson Artists: Mattia De Iulis, Javier Rodriguez and Alvaro Lopez

‘But you just said it yourself. We were peaceful once. Can’t we be so again?’

Once, there was two warring races, and Earth-616 stood between them.

The Kree-Skrull War occupied much of my childhood, what with the Avengers, the advent of Mar-Vell, the Original Captain Marvel, his Nega-Bands, and the joining to Rick (oh, yes, I need another job) Jones, the Super-Skrull, the Skrull Race, and the Fantastic Four, Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, the retcon of the Inhumans for the Kree Terrigen Mist, the Kree experimentation on Humanity to create Inhumans, The Secret Invasion, Hulkling, and now.... the Sleeper Skrull-gents, waiting to be activated, after the Secret Invasion went belly up... the list goes on, and inexorably on....

But now, we get the ‘true’ history of the Three Races, Skrull, Kree and Cotati (who da Fu...) anyway, this is where we are.

Strangely enough, this is a neat little bottle story, giving a history lesson, from the view of a combatant. Too often, these history lesson type stories are told either from the viewpoint of the winner, or the loser, and when that happens, the other side is never portrayed in a sympathetic light. This story, maybe because it is told from the viewpoint of a mother, casts all sides as both right and wrong, except the Cotati, who appeared to have been totally obliterated by the Kree, in an effort to show how ‘advanced’ they were.

All in all, a neat story. I’m not sure it’s enough to drag me into the 800 titles that will be involved in this story, but I was dutifully impressed with this story, and art.

Batman The Adventure Continues 1 & 2

Writers: Alan Burnett and Paul Dini Artist: Ty Templeton

‘These rocket’s cost money, ya know!

Send the bill to Batgirl, 123 Try And Find Me Avenue, Gotham City!’

Well, for fans of Batman: The Animated Series, and Batman: The New Adventures, your time is nigh!

Did you ever have that show you watched, no matter what, and when it got cancelled, you wished, with all your might, it would come back... on another channel, on a streaming platform, somehow?

For some reason, the Powers That Be at DC / WB / ATT decided it was time to give the Little Kid in all of us something to enjoy... 20+ pages of Paul Dini / Alan Burnett goodness with Ty Templeton SPECIALNESS!

Two issues in, and I’m all a-giggle... Batman - Superman -Luthor - GIANT ROBOT, Bat Family - Slade Frickin’ Wilson!!!, and the stories are fun! They are well written, snappy dialoged, nicely transitioned stories... good enough for the pre-teen, with more than enough to tickle the memories of the these characters unfold as written during the 90’s.

Templeton's artwork captures the stylistics of the cartoon show, while enhancing it for the newer reader. The reader can see / hear Dini’s influences in the dialog, it moves similar to the cartoon of old, nary skipping a beat, grabbing the old memories, and dragging them to the forefront.

I hope this team can keep the established pace up. If they can, this will be my GO - TO Happy Place Book going forward!

Sleeping Beauties #1 ( From the fevered minds of Stephen and Owen King)

Adapted : Rio Youers Art: Alison Sampson

‘Sleeping Sickness. A Never-Ending Universe. Jeez, it sounds like High School’ They say it’s in the genes.

Talent, that is.

Well, I’m here to tell you, this is the evidence.

The King Family, in all it’s gory. Sorry, glory. Tabitha, with her Nodd’s Ridge stories, Joe Hill, well between Hill House Comics, Locke and Key, NOS4A2...and now Owen, with Sleeping Beauties, co-penned with his dad.

You know. The creepy guy from Castle Rock.

Anyway, this adaptation is pretty, stylish, and so far, pretty on point. Rio Yours is doing a nice job of staying true to source, while pushing the story quickly enough to make it palatable for the comics world.

The wonder is the art. This book is beautiful. It is very stylized, almost webbed together, Some of the artwork is very airy, as if it is intended to float, almost without perspective, while other panels stand out as meticulous, detailed studies in a single action, to capture the act in case there is a need to refer back to it later.

Like a King story, there is a great deal going on, some detail which the Reader might miss at first, but will be drawn to later.

This is a book to watch. It is guaranteed to be a limited run, but it is well worth catching.

John Stewart and Batman don’t like each other?? This is news? Everyone’s pissed at Superman?? Hell, I’m pissed at Superman!! That was dumb!

Corrigan pissed at GOD?!!? The Spectre, the Spirit of Vengeance, has been corrupted?? Why does this feel like 4 issues of a CSPAN?

Pretty artwork, though...
