The Howling (1981)

"What about killing it with silver bullets?"

"Oh sure, silver bullets or fire, it's the only way to get rid of the damned things, they're worse than cockroaches. They come back from the dead if you don't kill 'em right, plus they regenerate - y'know what that is? Cut off an arm, cut off a leg, stick a knife in their heart: nothing. They may look dead, but bam, three days later they're as good as new."

"You believe in this?"

"What am I, an idiot? I'm making a buck here; you want books, I got books. I got chicken blood, I got dog embryos, I got black candles, I got wolfsbane."

The Howling

The Howling Franchise The Howling is one of those stalwart horror franchises that I’ve always felt bad about not watching. It’s almost as revered as An American Werewolf in London, but the problem is… Werewolves really aren’t my thing. I didn’t see American werewolf until I was close to 40. I do think they can be effective and scary…  I recall watching Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein at…

Whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I.

Born to a turbulent family on a Mississippi farm, James Earl Jones passed away today. He was ninety-three years old. Abandoned by his parents as a child and raised by a racist grandmother (although he later reconciled with his actor father and performed alongside him as an adult), the trauma of his childhood developed into a stutter that followed him through his primary school years – sometimes, his stutter was so debilitating, he could not speak at all. In high school, Jones found in an English teacher someone who found in him a talent for written expression, and encouraged him to write and recite poetry in class. He overcame his stutter by graduation, although the effects of it carried over for the remainder of his life.

Jones' most accomplished roles may have been on the Broadway stage, where he won three Tonys (twice winning Best Actor in a Play for originating the lead roles in 1969's The Great White Hope by Howard Sackler and 1987's Fences by August Wilson) and was considered one of the best Shakespearean actors of his time.

But his contributions to cinema left an impact on audiences, too. Jones received an Honorary Academy Award alongside makeup artist Dick Smith (1972's The Godfather, 1984's Amadeus) in 2011. From the end of Hollywood's Golden Age to the dawn of the summer Hollywood blockbuster in the 1970s to the present, Jones' presence – and his basso profundo voice – could scarcely be ignored. Though he could not sing like Paul Robeson nor had the looks of Sidney Poitier, his presence and command put him in league of both of his acting predecessors.

Ten of the films James Earl Jones appeared in, whether in-person or voice acting, follow (left-right, descending):

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) – directed by Stanley Kubrick; also starring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens

The Great White Hope (1970) – directed by Martin Ritt; also starring Jane Alexander, Chester Morris, Hal Holbrook Beah Richards, and Moses Gunn

Star Wars saga (1977-2019; A New Hope pictured) – multiple directors, as the voice of Darth Vader, also starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, David Prowse, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, and Frank Oz

Claudine (1974) – directed by John Berry; also starring Diahann Carroll, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, and Tamu Blackwell

Conan the Barbarian (1982) – directed by John Milius; also starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sandahl Bergman, Ben Davidson, Cassandra Gaviola, Gerry Lopez, Mako, Valerie Quennessen, William Smith, and Max von Sydow

Coming to America series (1988 and 2021; original pictured) – multiple directors; also starring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, John Amos, Madge Sinclair, Shari Headley, Jermaine Fowler, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and KiKi Layne

The Hunt for Red October (1990) – directed by John McTiernan; also starring Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, and Sam Neill

The Sandlot (1993) – directed by David Mickey Evans; also staring Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Patrick Renna, Chauncey Leopardi, Marty York, Brandon Adams, Grant Gelt, Shane Obedzinski, Victor DiMattia, Denis Leary, and Karen Allen

The Lion King (1994) – directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, as the voice of Mufasa; also starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Moira Kelly, Niketa Calame, Ernie Sabella, Nathan Lane, and Robert Guillaume, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, Jim Cummings, and Madge Sinclair

Field of Dreams (1989) – directed by Phil Alden Robinson; also starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, Ray Liotta, and Burt Lancaster

Some Scattered Thoughts on the Arthurian Cosmology

(CW: Mention of rape)

There's an interesting line in the Robert de Boron/Vulgate Merlin which is translated by Nigel Bryant in Merlin and the Grail as:

And so the demons plotted to conceive a man who would work to deceive others. They were foolish indeed to think Our Lord would not know of their plan!

And which is translated by Rupert T. Pickens in The Story of Merlin as:

They undertook to engender a man who would teach the others. The devils were mad for thinking that Our Lord did not know this plan.

In the Arthurian cosmology, God is omniscient and omnipotent, and the Devil is at worst a nuisance, and at best he untwittingly furthers God's plans. In this instance, the Devil's plan to create the Antichrist ultimately plays into God's hands as the end result of this will be the creation of Merlin, who will bring about the birth and reign of Arthur.

What this says about God, that he allowed Merlin's mother and her family to suffer the way they did, I'll leave that to you.

Merlin inherits knowledge of all things past through his demonic parentage, and through his baptism by Blaise is granted knowledge of all things yet to come. He therefore knows he was created by higher powers for a specific purpose, and he knows what he must do to fulfill that purpose. He knows that though it will ultimately achieve a higher end (the birth of Arthur and the creation of a Golden Age in Britain), his actions will cause suffering and death (the death of Gorlois, the rape of Ygraine, and the trauma of Gorlois's children), just like the actions of God and the Devil caused suffering and death for his family. (I wonder how Merlin must've felt about that).

A later example of evil actions leading to higher ends is the conception of Galahad by Elaine/Amite's rape of Lancelot. All this of course raises the question of whether the ends justify the means. Is the creation of a Golden Age worth the suffering of a single family? Again, I'll leave that one with you.

The whole matter of omniscience also raises the question of if there is such a thing as free will in the Arthurian universe? To me, the answer is no. Everything is predetermined and while characters operate under the illusion that they have a choice, their roles and actions are set. Merlin, meanwhile, is a puppet who sees the strings. His warnings to Arthur about the future are futile, and doubtless he knows this.

Sooner or later in my own retellings of the Arthurian legends, I knew I would have to tackle the question of cosmology and how literally to take the medieval Christian worldview. These are some of the thoughts I had while I was working it all out. That said, I do not intend this to be some sort of cynical deconstruction of Arthuriana, as that simply does not interest me.

Does this predetermination make it all utterly bleak and grim and hopeless? No, I think it adds to the tragedy. I do not think it diminishes the joys and triumphs and sorrows of these characters, anymore than the intervention of the gods in the Iliad or the Odyssey somehow makes the characters of those epics into one-dimensional chess pieces.

A Golden Boy…a TRUE American Hero.

Adam McKay’s DEATH ON THE LOT podcast, episode 3 features John Garfield unjust framing by HUAC.

The guests on the podcast are ALL the people I would have selected to interview: daughter, actor and artist, Julie Garfield; authors, Robert Nott and Isaac Butler, and also a surprise—actor, Lee Grant one of the few remaining to be blacklisted in Hollywood in the 50’s. Excellent commentary by all. Good on you, Adam McKay and team!

The Red-Baiting of a Golden Boy | Episode 3 | A new generation of actors questioned the status quo; a rattled establishment fought back; dire consequences ensued. We’re talking John Garfield, Hollywood’s first method actor. LISTEN

"When I was originally requested to appear before the committee, I said that I would answer all questions, fully and without any reservations, and that is what I have done. I have nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide. My life is an open book. I was glad to appear before you and talk with you. I am no Red. I am no pink. I am no fellow traveler. I am a Democrat by politics, a liberal by inclination, and a loyal citizen of this country by every act of my life.”

—John Garfield’s statement before House Un-American Activites Committee (HUAC) on April 23, 1951.

All Julie wanted to do was what he did best: ACT. They took everything away from him. Despite that, he held his street cred. He gave away not a single name during his testimony. No ratting on friends and associates from Julie. Badass.

The others involved: Shameful. Shocking that Julie’s life and livelihood could be toyed with so heartlessly and carelessly. This was a man who did so much for his country. How could the ruthless, power hungry politicians ignore these examples of John Garfield’s patriotism?

During WWII, he cofounded—after bringing the suggestion to Bette Davis—the Hollywood Canteen. The Canteen operated from October 3, 1942 through November 22, 1945 (Thanksgiving Day), as a club offering free of charge: food, dancing and entertainment for service personnel usually on their way overseas. Nearly four million people were served as they were serving us!

The Hollywood Victory Caravan included Eddie Dowling, President of Camp Shows, Ray Bolger, Mitzi Mayfair, Louis Polanski, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Jane Pickens, Benay Venuta, and John Garfield serving as master of ceremonies. One of the first USO tours, Flying Showboat revue toured U.S. military bases in the Caribbean. These celebrities performed under some extremely trying conditions, as the weather was brutally hot and many of the camps were not equipped to host theatrical performances. The show must go on (!) and it did.

Julie running an event at the Canteen.

Julie entertains the troops! Audience members at the Canteen filled the hall.

Here he is selling War Bonds to support WWII efforts with Humphrey Bogart in 1943. Not sure who is pictured with them.

Julie championed the story of real life marine hero, Al Schmid bringing it to the screen in PRIDE OF THE MARINES. He read about the hero in LIFE magazine and brought the idea for a film to the studio. He stayed with Sargent Schmid and his wife for a couple weeks to portray the man respectfully and honesty.

maybe a strange question, but it's inspired by that modern lens of analysis post you reblogged: do you have any favorite academic articles about arthurian lit? my interest in it is extremely new and i'm not even remotely a medievalist so i'd like to read some articles that might lessen the modern lens i know i view arthuriana through

Ok WOW hi, hello and thank you for your question!! Everyone is always welcome to my little corner of the internet, whatever their level of knowledge of Arthuriana! 

So this is obviously an incredibly broad ask, and it would kind of depend on your personal interests as well as where you fall on the spectrum of ‘the original historical context of a narrative can only take you so far when it comes to ascertaining the meaning of a literary text’ (in other words: is ‘meaning’ inherent to the text or is it constructed through reception, and to what extent is this reception historically specific? Will you read a medieval text as a medieval person would? Is it useful to aspire to? People way more intelligent than me have debated about these things at length) As with most things, it’s probably a bit of everything.  Context is always going to be important, but it is my opinion that so is acknowledging your own historical ‘vantage point’ from which you are viewing and interpreting these texts. I personally use a lot of postmodern theory as a lens through which to examine medieval literature because it is what I enjoy, personally, and because there are far more resonances between them than you might think. A really good piece of academia will place theory and medieval literature in such a relationship that they illuminate each other. SO this is just a verryyy long-winded way of saying that I personally don’t see any issues in applying a ‘modern lens’ to Arthuriana if it is done in a thoughtful, intelligent way and I like to think a lot of my recommendations reflect my interest in that! (I was trained in a very theory-heavy institution so this perhaps also colours my approach!)

(long post so I have a few recs under the cut!)

Some books I find very thought-provoking that examine the interactions between modern theory and medieval lit (amongst other things) :

Fragments and assemblages: forming compilations of medieval London by Arthur Bahr

Imaginary Worlds in Medieval Books: exploring the manuscript matrix by Martha Rust

The Medieval Poetics of the Reliquary by Seeta Chaganti

The Medieval Literary: beyond form edited by Robert John Meyer-Lee and Catherine Sanok

Bloodless Genealogies by Zrinka Stahuljak

Thinking Through Chrétien de Troyes by Zrinka Stahuljak, Virginie Greene, Sarah Kay, Sharon Kinoshita and Peggy McCracken

Some articles I really like (which doesn’t mean I always agree with them wholeheartedly, usually just that I think they are Neat for various reasons)!:

Gawain and the Nick of Time: Fame, History, and the Untimely in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Richard Godden, Arthuriana (2016) 

The Ends of Excitement in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Teleology, Ethics, and the Death Drive by Mark Miller, The New Chaucer Society (2010)

Arthurian Time and Space: Chrétien de Troyes’s Conte del Graal and Wace’s Brut by Rupert Pickens, Medium Aevum (2006)

Writing History, Writing trauma: the rape of Ygerna the Medieval Brut Narratives by Gillian Adler, Medieval Feminist Forum (2021)

The NAACP's "Crisis" magazine made anti-lynching legislation a central issue in the 1930s. White allies like writers Fannie Hurst and Robert Sherwood joined black writers like James Weldon Johnson and William Pickens in meetings and symposia to draw attention to the horrors of lynching and its corrosive effect on American life.

Three days of progress.

November 27, 2023

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

          As I write on Sunday afternoon, Israel and Hamas are in the third day of a pause in the Israel-Hamas war. Groups of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners have been released in three exchanges and humanitarian aid has begun flowing into Gaza. Critically, the Israeli war cabinet appears to be open to extending the temporary pause. See CNN, Israel's war cabinet has discussed the possibility of extending the Gaza truce, source says.

          President Biden released a short video statement on Twitter urging an extension of the pause in fighting to allow a “surge” in aid to Palestinians. Biden said, in part,

We have worked urgently to surge aid into Gaza during the pause in fighting. We have moved approximately 200 aid trucks into Gaza each day – loaded with food, water, medicine, fuel, and cooking gas.

Today, 13 more hostages – including a fellow American – were released by Hamas under a deal brokered and sustained through intensive U.S. diplomacy. We continue to press that additional Americans be released.

And we will not stop working until every hostage is returned.

A two-state solution is the only way to guarantee the long-term security of both the Israeli and the Palestinian people. To make sure Israelis and Palestinians alike can live in equal measures of freedom and dignity.

We will not give up on working toward this goal.

          As the hostage-for-prisoner exchanges unfold, it is becoming clear that President Biden’s personal involvement at critical junctures helped to achieve the agreement. Biden’s involvement is detailed in an article in the Times of Israel, Behind the scenes of the intense talks that led to the Israel-Hamas hostage deal. For example, when hostage talks stalled over the absence of identifying information about the hostages, Biden intervened:

Unsatisfied with the pace of the talks, Biden called Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for the first time since the outbreak of the war and “made very clear that where we were was not enough,” the administration official said. During their “very intense call,” Biden told the emir that the sides would not be able to move forward without identifying information . . . Shortly after that call, Hamas produced identifying information on 50 women and children it said it could release in the first stage of a deal.

          I urge anyone interested in the facts surrounding Biden’s personal contribution to achieving the pause to read the article in the Times of Israel—a story missing from the New York Times on Sunday. A reader (Merrill W.) sent the following note:

This Sunday's New York Times reached a new low in efforts to degrade President Biden. While President Biden triumphantly masterminded four days of hostage releases, the NY Times decided that a story about Trump’s pardon of one of his criminal-grifter supporters was worthy of front-page placement while our president's central role in the hostage release was not worth mentioning. If nothing else, this a clear case of deplorable bias at the NYT.

          I scanned several versions of the NYTimes editions on Sunday (online US, US pdf, and NY pdf), and found no discussion of President Biden’s role in the hostage release. The apparent bias in the Times is not in the reader’s imagination. The Columbia Journalism Review published a must-read note by David M. Rothschild, Elliot Pickens, Gideon Heltzer, Jenny Wang, and Duncan J. Watts titled, Warped Front Pages.

          Rothschild et al. examined the coverage on the front pages of the NYTimes and Washington Post in 2016 and 2022 to see if those leading newspapers had “learned” anything from their biased coverage of “Hillary’s emails” to the exclusion of Trump’s “innumerable personal, ethical, and ultimately criminal failings.”

          Rothschild concluded that the newspapers had learned nothing from their sorry performance in 2016:

We found that [in 2022] the Times and the Post shared significant overlap in their domestic politics coverage, offering little insight into policy. Both emphasized the horse race and campaign palace intrigue, stories that functioned more to entertain readers than to educate them on essential differences between political parties.

            Worse, both papers tended to emphasize negative stories that aligned with Republican talking points rather than stories that focused on the accomplishments of the Biden administration:

Exit polls indicated that Democrats cared most about abortion and gun policy; crime, inflation, and immigration were top of mind for Republicans. In the Times, Republican-favored topics accounted for thirty-seven articles, while Democratic topics accounted for just seven. . . .

In the final days before the election, we noticed that the Times, in particular, hit a drumbeat of fear about the economy . . . as well as crime. Data buried within articles occasionally refuted the fear-based premise of a piece.

Still, by discussing how much people were concerned about inflation and crime—and reporting in those stories that Republicans benefited from a sense of alarm—the Times suggested that inflation and crime were historically bad (they were not) and that Republicans had solutions to offer (they did not).

          There is more in the article that deserves your attention, and I have edited out comments about WaPo (for brevity). But the research by Rothschild et al. suggests that the Times and WaPo are not only defaulting to “horse race” coverage, but when they venture into policy, they tend to amplify Republican talking points in a way that distorts reality.

          . . . . which is what happened over the Thanksgiving weekend. Biden’s personal diplomacy helped achieve a landmark breakthrough in the Israel-Hamas war. That fact was not deemed worthy of emphasis by the NYTimes or Washington Post.

          The inexplicable bias of two of the nation’s “newspapers of record” is something that we should both address and ignore. We should proactively spread stories containing facts like those included in the Times of Israel. We should let journalists and editors at media outlets know what we think of their biased reporting. And we should not let their bias demotivate us.

          Media outlets hammered the economy and ignored assaults on reproductive liberty, the Capitol, the dignity of LGBTQ people, and freedom from gun violence. And yet, Democrats were able to prevent the highly anticipated “red wave” of 2022. So, we can prevail in 2024 despite the ongoing bias of major media outlets. We did it before, and we can do it again.
