Cabin Fever (2016)

In today's review, I find some viruses never go out of fashion. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2016's Cabin Fever #SamuelDavis #GageGolightly #MatthewDaddario #NadineCrocker #DustinIngram #RandySchulman #GeorgeGriffith #DerrickRMeans #LouiseLinton

There was a time when the world didn’t feel as (for lack of a better term) wild as it does now. Sure, those days are long behind us now, and some may doubt there ever was a period of calm. In 2016, over 14 years after Eli Roth’s directorial debut, he’s back producing a remake of the odd virus story that became a cult classic, a tale of Cabin Fever. The cabin has had a facelift, but the story…

Are there any sources you would recommend for Danton, especially any good biographies?

The best Danton book I know of is Danton: le mythe et l’histoire (2016). It is however not a biography but a series of essays on different parts of Danton’s political career. Danton’s private life is not touched upon at all as far as I’m concerned.

When it comes to actual biographies, I do know of a ton that can be accessed for free via Internet Archive (Danton (1914) by Louis Madelin, Danton (1935) by Hermann Wendel, Danton (1978) by Normann Hampson, Danton (1987) by Frank Dwyer and Life of Danton (1906) by Augustus Henry). Most of them I have however only interacted with when gathering information for an ask about Danton’s second wife Louise Gély, and in this instance, none of them were particulary helpful, each repeating the same claims regarding Louise without providing any sources to back it up with. I don’t know if they are the same when talking about Danton’s public life though, it after all being a subject they all probably had a bigger interest in. Of those listed, I would mainly recommend Danton (1978) by Normann Hampson, if not because it at the very least cites footnotes. I found it to be helpful when studying the lead up to the dantonist purge (mainly when it came to the alleged meeting(s?) he and Robespierre had in the weeks predating it), and the historian Marisa Linton described as an ”excellent biography” in 2014.

There’s also Danton, Mémoire sur sa vie privée (1865) by Jean François Eugène Robinet, that among other things includes a memoir written by Danton’s two sons, and Danton — Fragment Historique by Danton’s former colleague Alexandre Rousselin. Both are of course bias in his favour, but they’re still primary accounts.

Finally, I also know of the recent double biography Danton et Robespierre: Le choc de la Révolution(2021) by Loris Chavanette. However, I haven’t read it and therefore can’t say if it’s any good.

"New Year's 2014/2015 vacay"

Where was that vacay and with who?

***

Who do you think? 🫠😉🥰😏

Lil' Michael and Jarry dirty dancing on the Caribbean waves... 🌊

HAWT! 🔥🔥🔥

That pic was posted by Louise Linton who used to hang around from time to time back in the day.

Also AW was present at least when they went to Cuba on that same vacay.

She was born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was the only child of Augustus Cornelius Bennett, the owner of a bakery in Spanish Town, and Kerene Robinson, a dressmaker. After the death of her father, she was raised primarily by her mother. She St. attended Simon’s College and Excelsior College. She enrolled at Friends College, where she studied Jamaican folklore. Her poetry was first published in the Sunday Gleaner. She was the first Black student to study at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.

She worked with repertory companies in Coventry, Huddersfield, and Amersham, as well as in intimate revues across England. She hosted two radio programs for the BBC: Caribbean Carnival and West Indian Night.

She produced Miss Lou’s Views, a series of radio monologues, she started hosting the children’s television program Ring Ding. She appeared in various motion pictures, which included Calypso and Club Paradise.

She wrote several books and poetry in Jamaican Patois, helping to have it recognized as a “nation language” in its own right. Her work influenced many other writers – among them Mutabaruka, Linton Kwesi Johnson, and Yasus Afari. She released numerous recordings of traditional Jamaican folk music and recordings from her radio and television shows, including Jamaican Folk Songs, Children’s Jamaican Songs, and Games, Miss Lou’s Views, Listen to Louise, Carifesta Ring Ding, and The Honorable Miss Lou.

No Wonder Millennials Hate Capitalism

On a Friday night last month, I moderated a debate in Manhattan about whether we should scrap capitalism. It was organized by the socialist magazine Jacobin; defending capitalism were editors from the libertarian publication Reason. Tickets for all available 450 seats sold out in a day. So Jacobin moved it to a venue that holds around twice as many. The extra tickets sold out in eight hours.

When I arrived, people were lined up for blocks; walking to the door, I felt like I was on the guest list at an underground nightclub. Most attendees appeared to be in their 20s and 30s, part of a generation that is uniquely suspicious of capitalism, a system most of their elders take for granted.

The anti-Communist Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation was alarmed to find in a recent survey that 44 percent of millennials would prefer to live in a socialist country, compared with 42 percent who want to live under capitalism. For older Americans, the collapse of Communism made it seem as though there was no possible alternative to capitalism. But given the increasingly oligarchic nature of our economy, it’s not surprising that for many young people, capitalism looks like the god that failed.

Nowhere is that clearer than in the wretched tax bill passed by the Senate in the early hours of Saturday morning, which would make the rich richer and the poor poorer. According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, the bill directs the largest tax cuts as a share of income to the top 5 percent of taxpayers. By 2027, taxes on the lowest earners would go up.

Millennials, a generation maligned as entitled whiners, would be particularly hard hit. As

Ronald Brownstein argued in The Atlantic, the rich people who would benefit from the measures passed by the House and the Senate tend to be older (and whiter) than the population at large. Younger people would foot the bill, either through higher taxes, diminished public services or both. They stand to inherit an even more stratified society than the one they were born into.

Here’s one example. The Senate bill offers a tax break for parents whose children attend private school. But it cuts deductions for state and local taxes, which could

make it harder to fund the public schools where the vast majority of millennials will send their kids.

There is no coherent economic rationale for what Republicans are doing. Academic economists are

basically unanimous that the Republican tax plan would increase America’s deficit, which Republicans used to pretend to care about. With unemployment low, many experts say the economy doesn’t need a stimulus. The tax cuts are likely to increase the trade deficit, which President Trump purportedly wants to reduce. Republicans often say they want to simplify the tax code, but as the accountant Tony Nitti argues in Forbes, the tax bill would make much of it more complex.

How to explain this smash-and-grab legislative looting, which violates all principles of economic prudence? Part of it is simple greed, but there’s also an ideology at work, one that sees the rich as more productive and deserving than others. Louise Linton, the wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, spelled it out on her Instagram feed in August, responding to an Oregon mother who had the audacity to criticize Linton’s use of a government plane: “Lololol. Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country?”

Lest you think that’s just the sputtering of a modern Marie-Antoinette with poor grammar, consider what Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, told The Des Moines Register about the need to repeal the estate tax, which falls only on heirs of multimillionaires and billionaires. “I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing, as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies,” he said. By this logic, Linton, or Trump’s children, are more socially useful than anyone irresponsible enough to live paycheck to paycheck.

Not to be outdone, the next day, Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, argued that Congress still hasn’t reauthorized the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which he helped create and still claims to support, because “we don’t have money anymore.” He went on to rant against the poor: “I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves — won’t lift a finger — and expect the federal government to do everything.” It was unclear whether he was talking about the nearly nine million children covered through CHIP or their parents.

After the fall of Communism, capitalism came to seem like the modern world’s natural state, like the absence of ideology rather than an ideology itself. The Trump era is radicalizing because it makes the rotten morality behind our inequalities so manifest. It’s not just the occult magic of the market that’s enriching Ivanka Trump’s children while health insurance premiums soar and public school budgets wither. It’s the raw exercise of power by a tiny unaccountable minority that believes in its own superiority. You don’t have to want to abolish capitalism to understand why the prospect is tempting to a generation that’s being robbed.

WORST MOVIES OF 2021

I have something bigger for the best movies of 2021 – the year that I saw the most movies ever in history. In the meantime, here are the bottom of the barrel movies of the last year (in alphabetical order):

1. Assault on VA-33

There are many bad VOD action movies that tired action stars try to churn out. I could list an entirety of Bruce Willis action movies from last year, but what made the cut is this tiresome one.

2. Diana: The Musical

Imagine if Spencer was made by the guys who did Camp Rock.

3. Father Christmas Is Back

Kelsey Grammer and John Cleese are the saving graces of this trashy British holiday ensemble.

4. Home Sweet Home Alone

Would it be fun to see two desperate parents trying to right a wrong and end up in Home Alone booby traps? Thank you Disney.

5. Karen

A trashy meme-xploitation movie that does not satirize but leaves a sour note.

6. Me You Madness

Louise Linton is the modern-day Bo Derek. And this is her Bolero, but with guns and luxury.

7. Music

Yep, it deserves its Razzie wins. This is a dangerous depiction of autism. And not even Sia’s music video aesthetics can make this a coherent watch. This is the worst movie of 2021.

8. The Addams Family 2

The Addams family never looked so generic and wasteful in this stupid sequel that loudly begs the questions, “What if Wednesday wasn’t biologically an Addams?” Ugh.

9. The Kissing Booth 3

Good riddance, it’s over!

10. Vanquish

Morgan Freeman and Ruby Rose had ¼ of screentime in this thriller.

Dishonorable Mentions: Breaking News in Yuba County, Cosmic Sin, Redemption Day, Take Back, Thunder Force
