SHOGO KUBO -- ALL THE STYLE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE: IN MEMORIAM.

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on the masterful (yet reportedly extremely humble) original Z-boy, Shogo Kubo, poolriding in and around Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, and pretty much the Westside in general, c. late '70s. Glen E. Friedman more than likely snapped all of these as well, dude was @$!#*&% prolific in them early years!

“For me, style is everything. Style either makes you look good or bad. You can do the same trick on a skateboard or surfing, but if you’ve got style, you’re gonna look a whole hell of a lot better than the guy next to you who does not have style.” – SHOGO KUBO (1959-2014) in an interview with JAY ADAMS (1961-2014), c. 2002

A Pure Hearted Smile.

Goku's smile is one of his best qualities hands down. The ability to face any situation with such child like optimism isn't something you see everyday (in real life). Say what you want about him but he is the main character for a reason.

So, what is it about the bed scene in Sanguinarium that makes Mulder so hot when Scully comes into his room and he leans back and pushes the folio or briefcase out of his way? His tie is removed and his shirt is a bit unbuttoned and then he makes a squishy face when he thinks she's "mocking" him.

It's not a love scene, it's not an intimate scene, but boy Scully would have had to hold herself back from jumping his bones in that scene.

My guess would be the vulnerability. It's the same effect as other movies' "hot woman suddenly surprises in jeans and glasses and still looks beautiful" trope: the inherent vulnerability of a professional guard lowered.

Not to mention, David was (to my eyes) playing up Mulder's more "feminine" side here: checking out his nose, lounging, scrunching up said nose, flashing his puppy dog eyes in earnest-- it's, again, tapping into that vulnerability. And purposefully. So, the effect is a rangey, intentional-unintentional, almost winking seduction-- ala softly hazy Old Hollywood women looking up through their lashes at their tough-to-crack targets (Scully, in this case.) However, because Mulder's not trying to seduce (it's DD who's intentionally channeling unintentional actions through a character), the effect is even greater. It makes for an almost unmatched "plain clothes glamour" dynamic.

Least, that's how I read it. ;))))

"JAY WAS AS RADICAL AND SPONTANEOUS AS THEY GET AND ALWAYS MADE SHIT LOOK GOOD."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on youngest of the original Z-boys, Jay Adams (1961-2014), pool-riding the Dog Bowl in Santa Monica, CA, c. 1977. 📸: Glen E. Friedman.

"Jay was as radical and spontaneous as they get and always made shit look good. His intuition in skating was like few others, and he had a vision that was always spot-on, believe it or not. Jay could be one of the rudest and most fucked up people around but he could also be one of the nicest and most thoughtful, it just depended on what day you caught him."

-- GLEN E. FRIEDMAN on the character and/or demeanor of his late, great friend Jay Adams (✝)

People complaining about the first episode of season 3 like it isn’t classic Mandalorian. All of you go rewatch the first episode of season 1 and come back to me. There’s gonna be an impossible mission, and he’s gonna fight some pirates on his way there. His kid is getting into some sort of silly trouble or eating a frog whole. Of course Bo Katan is conveniently sat lounging dramatically on a throne. Kuil was conveniently there to give Din a training montage on riding a blurg and lead him directly to his bounty. Peli conveniently had a lead on some Mandalorians after his first lead had him not finding his people, but killing a Krayt dragon. Everyone seems to forget that he kinda operates on the rule of cool.

We’ve had just over 2 years to wait and overhype it. We’ve been super spoiled by Andor recently, which has meaning behind its meanings, with more care put into it than anything I’ve seen in a while. Yes The Mandalorian is a good series, a great series, this isn’t to say there isn’t care or meaning because there is, but it’s above all else a spaghetti western in space. He’s not gonna start the first episode on Mandalore, he’s gotta fight some unbeatable odds before really fighting the impossible odds, and then he’ll have some realizations about his creed that are probably gonna be uncomfortable and a call out to modern religion institutions. It has been and still is Star Wars boiled down to its bare essentials - corny heroics and not so subtle political commentary.
