The Black Parade is the third studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance. Released in Europe on October 23, 2006, and the United States on October 24, 2006,[1] through Reprise Records, it was produced by the band with Rob Cavallo, known for having produced multiple albums for the Goo Goo Dolls and Green Day. It is a rock opera and concept album centered on a dying man with cancer known as "The Patient". The album tells the story of his apparent death, experiences in the afterlife, and subsequent reflections on his life. It is the band's only studio album to feature Bob Bryar on drums before his departure in 2010.

The Black Parade received generally favorable reviews from critics, and the band achieved its first number one single in the United Kingdom with "Welcome to the Black Parade". The album debuted at number two on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and is also certified as triple-platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the United Kingdom by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), as well as with gold certifications in both Argentina by the Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers (CAPIF) and Chile by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Chile. The Black Parade was given the Platinum Europe Award by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for one million sales in Europe. The limited edition boxed set also earned My Chemical Romance a nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Four singles were released from the album: "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You", and "Teenagers".

My Chemical Romance began The Black Parade World Tour on February 22, 2007, in the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire. The tour featured 138 performances worldwide, as well as several festival and condensed shows. The tour was the longest and most internationally comprehensive headlining tour the band played, featuring three legs in North America, two legs in Europe, and one in Asia, Australia, and Latin America.

The song "Dead!" appears in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II, and the three songs "Teenagers," "Famous Last Words" and "This Is How I Disappear" were once available as downloadable content. The Black Parade has sold three million copies in the United States as of 2016, and four million worldwide. The record was reissued as The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts on September 23, 2016, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the album's release. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 361 in their updated "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list.[2]

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (often shortened to Three Cheers or Revenge)[1] is the second studio album by American rock band My Chemical Romance, released on June 8, 2004 by Reprise Records.[2][3] With this album, the band produced a cleaner sound than that of their 2002 debut I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.[4] It was the band's first release to feature rhythm guitarist Frank Iero on all tracks, as well as the final release to feature drummer Matt Pelissier, who would later be replaced by Bob Bryar.[5]

The album was a success for both the band and the label.[6] The record produced four singles—"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", "Helena", "The Ghost of You", and in the United Kingdom, "Thank You for the Venom".[4] It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) less than a year after its release,[3] and has sold over three million copies in the United States.[6]

Musically, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge has been described as emo,[7][8] alternative rock,[8] pop punk,[9] post-hardcore,[10] punk rock,[11] and pop rock.[12] While I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was considered "a particularly strident entry in that shifty genre of bands tortuously slamming together elements of emo, hardcore, and even metal",[13] Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge "both showcased their songwriting skills and gave them much-deserved attention".[4] Moving away from the "screamo parts"[14] and "the more complicated structures"[15] of their first record in favor of a sound that "skirts the line between pop punk and edgy, theatrical, emo"[4] while being "strongly influenced by hardcore punk",[15] Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge has been variously compared to The Misfits,[16] AFI,[13] and Thursday.[13]

Lead singer Gerard Way has referred to the first single "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" as a "self help pop song"[17] while also being called "a surging piece of emo-pop with a hook as ridiculously catchy as it was ridiculous"[18] and a "moving anthem for the young and depressed"[19] by AllMusic and Rolling Stone respectively. This single went on to be nominated for the Kerrang! award for best single[20] and reached number 86 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[21]

The album opener "Helena" has been referred to as an "album highlight and smash hit". Gerard has claimed that the song "shaped what the album is about" and "revealed their dark side" in comparison to the first single.[17] Its lyrics mourn the loss of Gerard and Mikey's grandmother,[17] Elena Lee Rush, and was their first entry into the top 40.[21]

Hi there I wanted to participate in your match ups if it was possible ^^

Fandom : Haikyuu

I'm 22 y/o, she/her pronouns, heterosexual. My favourite colors are orange and black, I'm an ISFJ, cancer, for my appearance is short (4'9 ft - 1.52 cm) with shoulder length brown hair and chubby. I love animals (I own 2 cats) and I enjoy talking about mental health.

My ideal type is someone who's in touch with their emotions, someone who shows his soft or special treatment only with me (it could be just little things not something big) , someone who's honest and sensitive, if he has an artistic side or is bi or multilingual is super attractive too. For physical features I find long or messy hair attractive.

Pet peeves: when someone asks me to do something I already planned to do, not letting a song finish if you already let it sound for a while

Some traits I hate is when people rely on someone who's more responsible to get stuff done, people who think higher of themselves than they really are, lies, people who think they are the center of the universe. Uff and people who are not polite (please and thank you are big to me I'm sorry)

And I would like the match up to be romantic please

Thank you for your time ^^

Why?:

he is intouch with his emotions

he can be mischievous, but also has a soft spot

he fondly listens to your rambles

Sugawara will motivate you to reach your goals

Your little story:

Waking up on a weekend morning was special, for most people at least, especially at the beginning of spring. The golden spring sunrays would shine through the windows, and the birds would chirp a wonderful song to wake everyone, but this dream would not come true to you. You woke up with a cat butt in your face and the sound of the busy city of Sendai. Even though you loved your cat dearly, you wished she would act cute like the cats in movies. To the demanding meows, you responded with a soft growl. "I will feed you, but you have to wait a moment." With closed eyes, you grabbed your cat and placed it on Koushi's cold bedside. A groan escaped your lips as you started stretching your muscles.

Now you were still not wide awake, but the smell of fresh coffee and pancakes made you hurry into the kitchen. Before you ran to your food, you grabbed the black and orange Karasuno Sweater from your boyfriend. Your little cat followed you now happily to the kitchen. Soft music was playing in the background and accentuated the noises of the spatula clinking against the pan. To your dismay, your cat passed you by and joined her friend to eat. Sugawara had already filled up their little bowls. She jolted you out of your deep slumber for no apparent cause.

You leaned against the doorframe only to watch your boyfriend with a smile. How his muscles flex against his white Shirt whenever he flips One of the pancakes. He bit his tongue while focusing on the little piece of pancake batter. His messy bed hair was adorable. All you could think of was ruffling his hair even more. If you could, you would capture this moment and frame it, but Your loud stomach growl destroyed it. Koushi turned around with a bright smile. "Good morning darling, did my cooking wake you up?" He flipped the last pancake from the skillet onto the platter alongside the other pancakes and returned the pan to the turned-off stove.

Koushi stepped towards you and placed his hands on your hip. "No, this cute little cat ass made me wake up." You pointed at the guilty cat, who calmly munched on its food. Koushi chuckled. "I hope my pancakes will make up for this horrible wake-up call." You nodded happily. "Of course, they will. Your pancakes are amazing. They're always so flipping delicious." Now Koushi had to laugh. His eyes had little laugh lines. He cupped your cheeks and kissed your forehead. Still laughing, he whispered, "God, I love you."

The both of you just stood there for a while and smiled at each other like teenagers in love. "I thought about doing a little picnic today. So what would you think if we take the pancakes and other little snacks with us and pay a visit to our local park." You suggested, breaking the comfortable silence. "That's a great idea. I will pack up our stuff, and you can get dressed. Even though my sweater suits you very much, it's a little bit chilly for just a sweater and shorts." You nodded with excitement and ran off to get dressed. "I wish every weekend could be like this."

You walked through the park with the leafless trees. "How about this spot? It's the driest one out here, I guess." Koushi pulled out the blanket he carried and placed it on the ground. You pulled out the little snacks Koushi readied earlier. Strawberries, pancakes, little chocolate treats, and more. Koushi sat beside you on the blanket and began to pull out the warmer blanket so the both of you wouldn't freeze to death. You thanked him with a sincere smile, and he returned it. The both of you started to eat quietly. You talked about everything. The topic of mental health and the healthcare system made the entire date more fascinating because you both had the same viewpoint. You contributed facts to the other one and spoke all day about new movies and the current series you're watching together, not only mental health. Your discussions got sometimes interrupted by short and loving kisses. At the end of your "breakfast" the sun was already setting again and you walked back home to cuddle with your cats.

Your special surprise: 🎧Playlist: Pov Your relationship with Suga🎧

A/N:

Thank you so much for participating in my event. It was lovely to get to know you a bit. I hope you like the music I picked out for your short playlist. 💕

Baring It All: Breasts Take Center Stage At This Major Exhibition

— By Jacqui Palumbo | Monday April 22, 2024

"Breasts" runs from April to November at the 60th Venice Biennale international art exhibition. Eva Herzog

(CNN) — What is one of the earliest and enduring subjects in art and media — as well as one of the most censored? Breasts. First carved large onto small “Venus” figurines some 25,000 years ago as totems of fertility, they’re now seen (or hidden) as a potent symbol of desire, motherhood, feminism, sexism, beauty ideals, defiance, controversy or illness, depending on context.

And these are all themes explored broadly in the exhibition “Breasts,” a robust survey on display at the 60th Venice Bienniale. Hosted at the Palazzo Franchetti, the show includes artworks by household names such as Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe and Salvador Dalí, as well as early-career artists including Anna Weyant, Chloe Wise and Lakin Ogunbanwo. Divided into five rooms against the building’s art deco designs, the artworks are meant to be in conversation with one another — and with exhibition-goers — according to the show’s curator Carolina Pasti.

“It’s very intimate, so it’s perfect for international artists to develop a dialogue with each other,” she said in a video call.

One of the first juxtapositions visitors encounter is between the exhibition’s earliest work, an early 16th-century Madonna and child by Bernardino del Signoraccio, and a self-portrait by Sherman which depicts the artist draped in prosthetic breasts and a pregnant belly. Both images of motherhood feature exaggerated anatomy — the baby Jesus in Del Signoraccio’s panel painting exposing his mother’s rigid bosom, while Sherman displays a hyperreal silicone torso in her riff on the Raphael painting “La Fornarina” — and sets the stage by showing how Renaissance artists have continued to influence our attitudes around breasts today.

From there, the show winds through painting, sculpture and design, photography, commercial advertising and video art, exploring the ways that breasts have been seen and represented through both the male and female gazes.

“It goes back to cave paintings — we’ve always been fascinated with the human form, and particularly the female form, which has this incredible allure and mystery,” said the artist Teniqua Crawford, who is exhibiting a delicate rendering of the breast as landscape. “Artists keep going back to it.”

“It’s been a wonderful moment to contemplate my own relationship with the meaning of breasts,” she added of the show.

“Breasts” was staged, in part, to promote breast cancer awareness, and marks a partnership with the medical research non-profit Fondazione IEO-MONZINO, which will receive a portion of its catalog sales. It’s a theme apparent throughout the show, with a vivid pink staging and backdrops inspired by the color of the cause. That includes a passageway designed by Buchanan Studio, “Booby Trap” which is draped in pink fabric and features 35 anatomical lights from above.

And the opening night treats? All according to the theme, of course, with suggestively shaped chocolate bon bons and burrata.

Michael's Journey: Transforming His Life Through Sustainable Weight Loss

Transforming His Life Through Sustainable Weight Loss

In today's fast-paced world, weight loss often takes center stage in the pursuit of healthier lives. This is the remarkable Michael's Journey: Transforming His Life Through Sustainable Weight Loss.

The Turning Point: Michael's Decision to Change

Michael's story begins like many others. He was leading a busy life, juggling work, family, and social commitments, often neglecting his health. As the numbers on the scale steadily increased, Michael realized he needed to make a change.

The Decision to Transform

Michael's transformation journey started with a decision—a moment of clarity that inspired him to take charge of his health. He recognized that his sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits were affecting not only his weight but also his overall well-being.

Setting Realistic Goals: The First Step Towards Success

Michael understood the importance of setting achievable goals. The idea of losing a significant amount of weight can be overwhelming, so he broke it down into smaller, manageable milestones.

Realistic Weight Loss Expectations

To avoid setting himself up for disappointment, Michael focused on losing 1-2 pounds per week. This gradual approach to weight loss is not only healthier but also easier to maintain over time.

Sustainable Changes: The Foundation of Michael's Success

Sustainable weight loss is not about quick fixes or crash diets. It's about adopting lifestyle changes that can be maintained for the long term.

Diet: A Focus on Whole Foods

Michael began by reevaluating his diet. He embraced whole foods—fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and minimized processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats. His diet plan included: - Breakfast: Nutrient-rich oatmeal with a topping of fresh berries and nuts. - Lunch: A balanced salad featuring grilled chicken or fish for a protein boost. - Dinner: A wholesome meal with salmon and an assortment of roasted vegetables - Snacks: fruits, vegetables, nuts, and yogurt to keep his energy levels up.

Exercise: Incorporating Physical Activity

To complement his dietary changes, Michael incorporated exercise into his daily routine. His exercise regimen included: - 30 Minutes of Exercise: Most days of the week, he committed to 30 minutes of moderate-intensity workouts. Activities such as walking, running, swimming, and biking became his trusted allies in the journey towards better health.

Balancing Calories: Understanding the Basics

To effectively manage his weight, Michael learned about calorie intake and expenditure.

Calorie Deficit: A Key Principle

The foundation of Michael's weight loss journey was creating a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than he consumed each day. He achieved this by adopting the dual approach of consuming fewer calories and increasing physical activity. Calorie Calculation Understanding his caloric needs was essential. Michael recognized that factors such as age, sex, weight, height, and activity level influence calorie requirements. He used online calculators to estimate his daily needs. Safe Weight Loss Pace An important aspect that Michael kept in mind was the pace of his weight loss. He understood that losing more than 1-2 pounds per week could be risky. His commitment was to prioritize a safe and steady journey.

Inspiration from Success Stories

Learning from the success of others who had achieved remarkable weight loss goals was another aspect that motivated Michael. Scientific studies revealed how sustained weight loss had a profound impact on reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Type 2 Diabetes Remission Moreover, research demonstrated that individuals with type 2 diabetes who achieved significant weight loss had an improved chance of experiencing remission of their condition. These insights further fueled Michael's determination.

The Science Behind Weight Loss: A Glimpse into the Future

In today's ever-advancing world, the future of weight loss is promising, with researchers and technology playing a vital role. Personalized Calorie Recommendations Scientists are working on methods to personalize calorie recommendations based on an individual's unique genetics, metabolism, and lifestyle. This approach will provide tailored guidance for healthier weight management. Innovative Calorie Tracking Technologies In the digital age, new technologies are emerging to help individuals monitor their calorie intake and expenditure with precision. These tools will enable people to make informed decisions about their diets and exercise routines. Smart Food Choices Food companies are making strides in developing healthier options. These foods are not only lower in calories but also higher in essential nutrients. The future will see an array of choices that support healthier eating habits. Accessible Exercise Solutions Advanced exercise technologies and programs are making it easier for people to engage in regular physical activity. These innovations remove barriers to exercise and promote a more active lifestyle.

The Bigger Picture: Battling the Global Obesity Epidemic

Obesity is a global health concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over one-third of American adults are classified as obese. Obesity is a significant risk factor for chronic illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. The Future of Weight Loss In conclusion, Michael's story reflects the potential for transformative change in the world of weight loss. It underscores the importance of a sustainable approach based on whole foods and consistent exercise. Michael's dedication and determination led to an incredible weight loss of 40kg in just 17 weeks. The future of weight loss is brighter than ever. With evolving research and technology, individuals can expect even more effective and safer methods to help them reach their health and weight-loss goals. The journey towards a healthier future starts with the decision to take the first step, just as Michael did.   Read the full article

Wrong Turn (2021, Horror)

While I wasn't aware that there was another Wrong Turn installment, I believe this is a was a kind of continuation of the Wrong Turn series. For anyone who isn't familiar with the Wrong Turn movies, the movies all six movies are based around a family of inbred cannibals. In this case, I don't believe there's much evidence of cannibals outside of a single scene set very, very late in the movie, so I'm not quite sure if this really has much to do with the original series... Either way, I watched it and now I wanna talk about it, so let's get into it.

I want to start off by saying that the movie had a solid plot in my opinion. I mean, was a bit cliched in the sense that the story centers around three couples hiking in the Appalachian Mountains and despite seemingly harmless idea of their hike, they are warned by locals in the town they're staying in while hiking that they need to stay on the marked trail because there are dangers within the forest.... And of course, being young and dumb, the group chalks these warnings up to ramblings from a town of hillbillies, and they do end up straying from the path. Anyone who has seen a horror movie and has even a quarter of a braincell could've told you that they wouldn't stay on the path, so it wasn't all that original in that sense of things, just like anyone who has seen the original Wrong Turn series could tell you that there would be a lot of traps set for the purpose of hunting, and that a lot of those traps would involve some very pointy spikes. While I appreciated the gore that came from both of these decisions, I saw them coming based on my knowledge of the common sense of most people in horror movies and my prior knowledge of the series I believe this to be a part of. The real thing that was interesting to me was the hunters.

Now, as I previously mentioned, the original Wrong Turn series featured a family of inbred cannibals. For anyone who doesn't know how inbreeding happens, the technical meaning of it is when breeding happens between 2 closely related people or animals.... It tends to be what people call it when incest occurs over generations. On top of being plain icky, inbreeding can cause a whole host of issues in a person's genetic make-up because it increases the chances of the next generation to inherit genetic disorders. After generations of this, the people who are products of this can have physical deformities and mental disorders that drastically effect their quality of life. In the original series, the cannibals in question had been the product of generations of inbreeding that resulted in a host of issues ranging from things that seemed to effect their physical appearances to things that effected their communication abilities, leaving them to communicate in mainly animalistic grunts....

The 2021 take doesn't seem to have any of that. The hunters in this movie are actually villagers from a town called The Foundation that formed in 1859 before the war and the village inhabitants have no outright signs of inbreeding. Though they speak a different language and honestly appear to have a very cult-ish look, members of the village seem to be well spoken and don't seem to have any deformities or disabilities; when spoken to, the leader of the village even goes as far as telling the group of hikers that they have no cancer due to their way of life within the mountains. And despite the cannibalistic nature of those in the original movies, the villagers within this take hunt for game within the forest and burn the bodies of the dead rather than eating them. The village even has its own justice system that comes complete with a sort of prison where people are put for trespassing or stealing from the village community, and though we only get a glimpse of it, it seems to be filled with the outsiders who wandered into the forest and never wandered back out. I'm not gonna say that I disliked this change, but I did feel kinda cheated out of the classic cannibal aspect of the series.

Ok, so plot changes aside, I want to talk about the level of gore. I am a strong believer that there's never such a thing as too much gore as long as it's well done and doesn't subtract from the plot of the story being told. Gore is actually the biggest reason I enjoyed the original Wrong Turn movies, and honestly tends to play a big role in most of the horror movies I enjoy, but I will admit that I wasn't as focused on the bloody part of the 2021 take on Wrong Turn as I was on the plot and the changes I mentioned before, but there were still a few gorier scenes that definitely deserve some props for the makeup, prosthetics, and use of fake blood. It was extremely well done and started early enough to keep me entertained since we got to see the aftermath of an incident withing the first 20 minutes of the movie!

In all honesty, the biggest issue I had with this instalment was actually that I wished it ended more like my favorite instalment of the series, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings.... If you know you know. Aside from that little note on the beginning, I actually quite liked the movie as a whole and would absolutely recommend this to someone looking for something good to watch, especially since the movie is different enough that it can be watched as a complete stand alone for anyone who isn't interested in the inbred cannibal bit of the series. It's a shoe in for my official recommendation list when it comes to horror movies and eared itself a solid 8/10

Megan Thee Stallion is filled with spice and a little bit of sugar, too. The Billboard award recipient has been happily boo’d up with rapper Pardison Fontaine for the last two years. They have been a strong example of Black love and resilience. The couple has managed to cherish and hold on tight to one another through gossip and salacious headlines.

Last year, in honor of their two-year anniversary, Meg took to Instagram with a gushy tribute post, showering Fontaine with praise for his love and affection.

“Yr 2 with U 💙,” the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper captioned a photo carousel of tender moments throughout their relationship.

For Valentine’s Day this year, it looks like Meg and Pardi enjoyed some quality time together. A photo obtained by the Shade Room, captured the couple toasting shots of liquor in heart-shaped glasses, presumably celebrating the holiday.

Every strong Black woman needs a good Black man by her side. Together, the possibilities are endless.

Megan Thee Stallion testifies against Tory Lanez, creates mental health resource website

Megan Thee Stallion made the ultimate display of courage after she testified against Tory Lanez during his 2022 shooting trial. The rapper’s testimony came after a grueling year long smear campaign from the media, with several sites alleging that she may have lied about her 2020 shooting at the hands of Lanez.

Dressed down in a custom purple suit, the “Savage” hitmaker finally opened up about the harrowing night and slammed those supporting Lanez throughout their turbulent case.

“Every man in a position of power in the music industry has taken his side,” she told the Los Angeles courtroom.

The star also admitted that she was hesitant to open up about the incident out of fear that it may hurt her career.

In December 2022, Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting Meg.

Before the verdict, the hip-hop titan created a mental health database for fans in need. The website featured a wide array of helpful resources for domestic violence victims, therapy and sexual violence counseling.

Megan Thee Stallion makes hilarious cameo in She Hulk

Megan Thee Stallion’s talents have no bounds. Fans were reeling with excitement when the star made a brief appearance on the Disney + show She Hulk last year. The talented femcee played herself in the comic-book inspired series. And towards the end, she even dropped down low to shake her tail feather in one scene.

This wasn’t the first time Meg flexed her acting chops. Before entering the Marvel universe, the rapper, who also goes by the moniker Tina Snow, made her acting debut on P-Valley.

During an interview with The Cut in August 2022, Meg said that her passion for acting was inspired by the careers of Queen Latifah and Ice Cube, two rap stars who were able to find success in Hollywood.

“When I look at them, it inspires me to take it further than just music,” she told the magazine. “I don’t feel like I’m only going to be an actress — I feel like I’m also going to be a director and I’m also going to be a producer,” Megan added.

Movies I watched this Week #103

The Passion According to Andrei is the complete (3 hours and 26 minutes) version of Tarkovsky’s ‘Andrei Rublov’, about the life of Russia’s greatest icon painter. A biblical cinematic Tour de Force, which is No. 26 on the S&S Director List of greatest films of all time.

Russian film studio Mosfilm has uploaded the 4k extended version of Andrei Rublev to Youtube (together with many other Russian classics).

🍿 

Going through Kogo-nada’s ‘Oeuvre’:

🍿 After Yang is the acclaimed Near-Future sci-fi story about love and loss around a racially-mixed family whose robotic child malfunctions and can’t be repaired. It’s a very slow, low-lighted, low-key (too low key!) and very slight, where so much is left unsaid. High up on ‘Gentle Cinema’ lists, it is indeed melancholy and introspective, subtle and lyrical, but without a payout. The little girl who played the adapted Chinese daughter was fantastic.

🍿 Kogonada chose his pseudonym from a screenwriter who frequently worked with Yasujirō Ozu. He started his career as a video essayist, and made the leap into full feature making. Breaking Bad // POV was his first, breakthrough video essay. Hands of Bresson, a beautiful short for The Criterion Collection. Wes Anderson // Centered is perhaps the best short introduction to WA style. And Way of Ozu makes clear his spiritual connection to the Japanese master.

More of his earlier shorts are on his old Vimeo stream.

🍿 But my biggest discovery was his dreamy debut feature, Columbus which he also beautifully-wrote and edited. (Slideshow Above). This was an intimate, modern Ozu-inspired tale about spaces, deep and quiet and emotionally fraught. Strangely, I looked for it on movie-lists for architecture nerds, and didn’t find it on any. Pure & unforgettable, it’s a 10/10 for me.

🍿

Marty, Paddy Chayefsky’s 1955 Oscar drama about an ugly, “stocky” butcher Ernest Borgnine looking for love. It’s hard to imagine his greatest role to be a romantic lead, but there he is, a 34-year-old Bronx bachelor who’s routinely rejected and is tired of looking for a girl. A sweet look at the type of people not usually depicted in movies. 7/10.

🍿

First watch: Roland Emmerich’s subversive big-budget spectacular, The day after tomorrow. Maybe because I haven’t see many disaster blockbusters like this, i found it terrific from the very first majestic moments of the opening spot. A prescient scenario that looks today less science fiction, and more as our near-future global collapse. 8/10.

🍿

My first two by Czech renegade Jan Němec:

🍿 The whole nearly-wordless, harrowing nightmare Diamonds of the Night follows two young concentration camp escapees, as they run from the train taking them ‘there’, through woods and marshes, trying to evade a persistent shooting party of old farmers, and all the while haunted by memories and hallucinations. With an opening shot that is considered ‘the longest tracking shot in the Czechoslovak cinema's history. Ambivalent horror - 8/10.

🍿 His most famous satire A Report on the Party and the Guests, as if Kafka were to start shooting comedies. A group of jolly party goers are trapped by another group of bureaucrats while frolicking in nature. Anti-authoritarian political allegory.

🍿 

Sometimes I love luxuriating myself in a sappy, obvious and uncomplicated romance story, especially if it stars Diane Lane. Paris can wait is Eleanor Coppola (Francis Ford’s wife) in her narrative directorial debut. 50-year-old Lane is such a babe, so following her on a road trip from Cannes up north with a flirtatious gentlemen, one of her husband's French business associates, is good for the eyes, and good for the heart. 7/10.

🍿

2 with David Bowie and 2 with Derek DelGaudio:

🍿 I read that composer Ryuichi Sakamoto just released his "last" streamed home concert as he struggles with terminal cancer, So I hurried to re-visit Nagisa Ōshima’s classic Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence for the first time in 40 years.

Not only did Sakamoto composed the terrific score, but he also played the only interesting character in this stilted war film, Captain Yonoi, who falls in love with the Bowie character, a blond Adonis rebel without a real cause. Takeshi Kitano was in it too. It did not age well. 3/10.  🍿 “I am The Roulettista”... 3rd or 4th re-watch of Derek Delgaudio’s In & if itself, a 2021 interactive staged performance / personal discovery / art installation, centered around magic and identity. Enigmatic exploration of personal pain. With cameos by Marina Abramovic, Bill Gates, Tim Gunn, others. 8/10. 

🍿 The Prestige is Christopher Nolan’s ‘mystery’ movie a bout a rivalry between two magicians, which Derek Delgaudio “consulted” for. Bowie played Nikola Tesla sporting a big mustache and a bad accent.

I didn’t like the few Nolan’s films I saw (except maybe ‘Momento’), and I started watching this twice before. But the atrocious acting, dreadful script and bland story made it very hard to finish, and I had to bail out in midpoint. 1/10.

🍿

Three short films by experimental pioneer Maya Deren:

To be honest, I never heard of this avant-garde artist, until seeing her name on the new Sight & Sound poll. Meshes of the Afternoon is the 16th best movie of all times? The 40th Best American film ever? A 1943 silent surrealist done by a young Hollywood outsider, who claimed that "I make my pictures for what Hollywood spends on lipstick”? I didn’t expect to like it that much, but then I wanted to see more:

At Land, another 15-minutes silent, experimental film, very “artsy” and modern, 100% noncommercial, and so Not-American.

A Study in Choreography for Camera, a very short glimpse of an abstract dance piece.

🍿  

Related: Agnès Varda 2015 short Les 3 boutons. A 14-year-old girl, her three goats, and abstract dreams. In colors.

🍿  

2 Without Adult supervision:

🍿 Boys alone & Girls alone: What Happens When a Group of 12-Year-Olds Is Left with No Supervision for Five Days? As part of a British reality TV series in the late 2000s, two sets of 11-to-12-year-old children, one group of 10 boys and another group of 10 girls, were left by themselves in a house for 5 days. They had food, bedding, games, paint, toys, bikes, furniture, etc. They had each taken a cooking course beforehand. None of the children had met before. So what happened?

🍿 That BBC series reminded me mostly of the ‘7 Up series’ and the story of Lord of the flies. Peter Brooks adaptation of the novel was a grim and smashing of the ‘Noble Savage’ myth. Kids become little fascists, if nobody stops them.

🍿

Antonio Marziale's unsettling debut short Starfuckers, about a Hollywood director with a habit of inviting pretty male escorts to his house for paid sex and unfulfilled promises of stardom. An intimate power-play revenge thriller.

🍿

First watch: Charlie Chaplin’s A Burlesque on Carmen, the 2-reeler version from 1915. Edna Purviance is the girl, and Chaplin is not the tramp, but a silly officer. It ends with an untypical murder-suicide!

🍿  

"Just one more thing"... I didn’t know that just before he did ‘Duel’ and among his early television work, 24-year-old Steven Spielberg directed the very first episode of Columbo: Murder by the Book. A 100% competent debut that included Peter Falk making an omelette to the victim’s wife.

🍿 

Sammy challenged me to watch the new Mia Goth slasher X (2022), and predicted that I won’t last more than 30 minutes. Since I usually refuse to watch horror movies, I was surprised how low-key “normal” the first half of it was, and was able to finish the whole lot. It leaned heavily into classic horror tropes, like ‘picking them one by one’ from ‘The Texas Chainsaw massacre’, The ‘Grande Dame Guignol’ from Psycho, The old ghost lady from ‘The Shining’, even the alligator attack from ‘Jaws’. 2/10.   

🍿   I should watch Chungking Express again! Also the few of Wong Kar-wai’s films that I haven’t seen yet (’Happy together’, ‘The grandmaster’, etc.)

🍿 

Throw-back to the art project:

Russian icon Adora.

                                                    ASHTON RECALLS        By Ashton Hester        WHITEWATER FALLS ROAD ADVOCATED IN 1951 - (The following story was in the June 28, 1951 issue of the Keowee Courier). . .One of Oconee county's great scenic attractions--picturesque Whitewater falls--got a boost during the past week from a visitor from Chicago, Ill., after he accompanied Roy Littleton, a member of the Salem-Whitewater Club, to view the area. . .The Chicagoan is Jack Beall, an Eastern Airlines executive, who along with Dick Meeks of the Anderson Chamber of Commerce, came to Oconee to see the falls and surroundings. Mr. Beall told Mr. Littleton that he will be back in South Carolina again later in the summer, and he definitely intends to see the falls again. . ."Whitewater falls, I believe, is among the few rare sights still denied to the great American public," Mr. Beall declared, "and I am in full agreement with your idea that a good, permanent roadway should be provided so that such a view can be appreciated by many." . ."This road would also become of great value to the upper end of the state in making it possible for the people in this territory to get through to the other states without the long, hard drive that it takes today," he added. . .Mr. Beall said that, since visiting Whitewater falls, he has described their grandeur in many other places he has visited. . .(Footnote written in 2022: Jack Beall liked Oconee County so much that he and his wife, Betty, moved to Mountain Rest upon their retirement. They were very active in the Mountain Rest Community Club, and both lived into their 80s. Mr. Beall was in charge of publicity for Hillbilly Day for several years, and he would visit the Keowee Courier office each year prior to the event to bring us a press release.

Thought and QUOTE this week from a Salem Old Timer, shared by my brother:  “ The day is coming when we won’t be able to get a clean drink of water.”                                                      

JOTTINGS FROM JEANNIE:  The BIG Commotion:   Granny asked me to pick her up and bring her home with me so that she could help get ready for the Thanksgiving company. Since she is nearly blind, I don't allow her to cook, but bless her heart she wanted to help, so I set her up to wash the floor.  Soon, Janet Green popped in to visit.  Janet knows all about my water troubles!  A big flood came down the hill, and inundated the entire first floor with three inches of water. But that was not the end of it! No!  Then it started raining inside the house.  The minerals in well water caused holes in the copper pipes. For an entire year, I dealt with repairmen and insurance adjusters and water everywhere.  "Here it goes again! It's raining inside the house even on this sunny day!" declared Janet.  We spent an hour trying to figure out the source of this scummy, nasty water.  I was out in the yard when a jubilant Janet came skipping out the door shouting, "Granny kicked the bucket!"  "Granny kicked the bucket!"  Whoopee!  Hooray! Janet and I danced an Irish jig and laughed until we cried.  A neighbor, hearing the commotion, stuck her head out her door aghast that Janet and I were celebrating bleary-eyed Granny "kicking  the bucket"  over while mopping the floor!

Shamir Interview: A Post-Lil Nas X World

Photo by Marcus Maddox

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Shamir Bailey is a popstar--yes--but he’s also a pop master. Ever since his electropop debut Ratchet was released in 2015, he’s added a new dimension to his sound on every release. 2020′s self-titled record (one of our favorites of that year) even featured some country crooning, yet another feather in the cap. On his latest album Heterosexuality, out today and self-released, Shamir collaborated with producer Hollow Comet (Strange Ranger’s Isaac Eiger) to make an album inspired by dark, industrial music from Nine Inch Nails to The Haxan Cloak. It’s also the first record of Shamir’s to center around his queerness.

Though Shamir has been open about being nonbinary for pretty much his entire musical career and has talked about his queerness in past songs, Heterosexuality confronts it head-on. “I don’t wanna be a girl / I don’t wanna be a man,” he sings on “Cisgender”, essentially his ask to others to quit pigeonholing him and forcing labels on him. “I’m married to me,” he proclaims on funky bop “Marriage”, an anthem of self-love. Whether intentional or not, you could say Shamir does the same thing with his music by being so effortlessly varied in style and subject. Shoegaze guitars and stadium-sized snares back his blistering falsetto on one song; on the next, he raps. He closes the album with a bossa nova tune. And Shamir is also unafraid to tell stories from other perspectives. Standout “Caught Up”, a club track with acoustic guitar, propulsive beats, shiny synths, and ping-ponging arpeggios, is especially dark-sounding--“I couldn’t wait till I’d be killed,” Shamir sings--until you realize he’s writing a song from the perspective of someone whose friend is dying of cancer. It’s not that Shamir forces these dark thoughts onto himself; rather, his ability to empathize allows him to enter nadirs and come out changed--and with a song.

I spoke to Shamir over the phone last week from Washington, D.C. where he was on tour with Courtney Barnett. Read our conversation below, edited for length and clarity, where we talk about Heterosexuality, Lil Nas X, cold brew, and much more.

Since I Left You: Why did you choose "Gay Agenda”, “Cisgender”, and “Reproductive” as the introductions to the record? Was it to present a newfound aesthetic?

Shamir Bailey: Looking back I probably wouldn’t have done “Gay Agenda” as the first single. The only reason I did is because it’s the shortest song on the record. The other two after that are 5 minutes, but people have been enjoying these 5-minute singles! [laughs] Maybe even more than the 2-minute singles. I definitely feel like the titles “Gay Agenda”, “Cisgender”, and “Reproductive” link up.

SILY: You’ve said this was the first album of yours to explicitly confront queerness. What made now the time to do that?

SB: I’m older and wiser. I think I even had the foresight when I was younger to not tackle something like this until I was fully able to understand how to do it correctly.

SILY: What does “correctly” mean to you in the context of this record?

SB: I don’t think addressing it was the problem, just making an album like this. I’ve talked about my queerness in past records and songs before. I think now what’s different is that I’m not trying to preach anything or teach anything. With the times, people understand a little bit better. When I was first premiered as an artist in 2014, the concept of a nonbinary popstar was very new, and I spent the entire time talking about that. We live now in what I like to call a “post-Lil Nas X world” so being myself as an artist isn’t that crazy anymore. I can talk about my queerness in a way without having to carry the entire community on my back.

SILY: Are you a Lil Nas X fan?

SB: I mean, who isn’t? If you’re not, I don’t trust you!

SILY: A few of these tracks have momentary background speaking or vocal samples. Where did those come from?

SB: That’s Hollow Comet. He likes that. His production isn’t based around clips, but he really likes them in a way that I can’t describe because I’m not him. But when we made the record, he had me make him a YouTube playlist of my favorite funny YouTube clips. He used them. There was one we wanted to have on the record that was distinctive so you could tell where it was from, but we couldn’t get permission. [laughs]

SILY: What’s the inspiration behind the lyrics of “Caught Up”?

SB: It’s an older song. I wrote it in 2016. I was watching this movie [Miss You Already] with Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore, and the Toni Collette character gets cancer, and they’re best friends. It’s so sad. I immediately wrote that song, so then I started thinking about if my best friend since eighth grade were to die. It made me incredibly sad, so the song is about what I would do or how I would feel if I were to lose my best friend.

SILY: What’s the significance of the line “cold brew and ginger beer to get rid of these nightmares” on “Cold Brew”?

SB: I am a cold brew addict. I basically made it my personality the past couple years. That song is specifically about how over the pandemic, on top of COVID and everything, I had just quit smoking cigarettes and weed, so my brain chemical makeup was readjusting. [laughs] For a good couple months, I was having crazy nightmares. I drank cold brew to stay up so I didn’t have to go to sleep and have these nightmares. “Cold brew and ginger beer,” I just liked how that sounded, but they’re two things that have caffeine.

SILY: Do you make your own cold brew?

SB: I do not, but I want to eventually for sure.

SILY: The final track on the record, “Nuclear”, is another aesthetic about-face: a bossa nova tune. What’s the inspiration behind that song?

SB: That song is basically me doing my own version of “This Masquerade” by Carpenters. I love Karen. 

SILY: Are you playing these songs live right now?

SB: We learned a good amount of them, mostly for a session we’re gonna do, but on this tour, we’re doing “Reproductive” and “Cisgender”.

SILY: How was adapting the songs to the live stage this time around?

SB: Not that hard. Now that I know my live set up and have had the same live set up [for a while], I do write with it in mind. We’re only a three-piece rock band, one guitarist, one bassist, one drummer, so it’s a bit more stripped-down live, so I make sure the elements of my songs are still there so the lack of production doesn’t stand out.

SILY: Are you playing “Father”? On its own, that song is pretty stripped down.

SB: No, maybe eventually. We have an opening set, so I just want to do 2 new ones and plenty of self-titled, which I didn’t really get to tour!

SILY: How have the shows been so far?

SB: This was my first tour since the pandemic, so I was extremely nervous hitting the road, but it’s been going so smoothly I’m actually weary. It’s wonderful. [Editor’s note: Unfortunately, a day after this interview was conducted, the rest of the tour was postponed due to a positive COVID case in Courtney Barnett’s touring group.] Everywhere we go, people have been pretty good about wearing masks. It’s basically a quarantine tour, so once we get off stage, we just go to the green room. We don’t sell our own merch or go into the audience.

SILY: Are you the type of artist who’s always writing? Anything you’re working on?

SB: I have a whole other record already written and about a half a record’s worth of songs.

SILY: Anything you’ve been listening to, watching, or reading lately that’s influenced you?

SB: Heterosexuality was the first record where the influence is really clear, since I was working with Hollow Comet. Generally, I take inspiration from everything. Songs come to me. Heterosexuality is my first roughly conceptual album, so it’s funny going back to the older way I used to write. I haven’t been influenced by anything specifically. One of the songs is a really mournful tune about climate change, and another one is a really cinematic love story that’s not even mine, I just had the idea for it after watching It’s A Sin.

SILY: “Abomination” is the first time you’ve rapped in a while. Did you go into the record thinking you wanted to rap on a song again?

SB: Absolutely not. I have so much trauma about rapping, so it was actually really hard for me to do. I remember telling Isaac that I felt like I needed to rap on the song because I couldn’t sing on it, but I didn’t know if I could bring myself to rap on it. I’m glad I pushed myself to do it.

SILY: Do you have any upcoming tour plans?

SB: I’m not that eager to get back on the road. I’m only doing this one because I love Courtney Barnett.

Watching: The Devil All the Time

What I found interesting about this movie is that the movie wasn’t centered around a plot but around its themes. See, there was no “story” in the movie, it’s a collection of stories that all featured similar themes and ideas. If I had to break it down, this movie was a deconstruction of “traditional” American values, specifically Christianity, masculinity, and the small-town life.

Usually in mainstream movies, those 3 themes are portrayed in a positive light. Jesus imagery is typically used to emphasize the goodness of the main hero, the masculinity of male protagonists is used to emphasize their strength, and small towns are usually portrayed as the hub of wholesome life. However, in TDATT, these 3 themes are portrayed in a negative light. For example:

1) Arvin’s father, consumed by his religion and driven to despair over his wife’s cancer, shoots his dog as a “sacrifice” to God.

2) Robert Pattinson’s pastor character uses his position to seduce the girls in the town. He exploits their Christian guilt and naivety for his own desires.

3) Arvin, our main hero, ruthlessly beats up his classmates who were harassing his stepsister. And these aren’t your typical Hollywood school bully beatdowns, he beats them with a level of sadism that feels borderline evil. Then, when he learns about what the pastor did to his stepsister, his first thought is to go straight to murder. 

4) The gruff town sheriff is typically portrayed as the fierce, noble defender of the town (think Jim Hopper from Stranger Things). But here, he’s portrayed as a corrupt, inept asshole who only cares about being in a position of power. 

5) Pastor Roy kills his wife because he thought he was given the power to resurrect her from God. 

6) The small-town isn’t this hub of wholesome life and enjoyment. Here, the small-town feels dead and soulless. Nearly every shot of the towns are empty and unappealing to look at, which I believe was intentional. Plus, every time the movie focuses on the “beauty” of the area, it leads into something horrible happening (Pastor Roy being murdered, Lenora being raped). Also, it’s saying a lot when our main hero Arvin finds peace by ESCAPING the small town as he catches a ride to the big cities. 

And so on. So yeah, this isn’t the happiest of movies as this movie is focused on the misery of its characters. But I did like its exploration of these themes. True, the execution could’ve been better at some points (Sebastian Stan’s character felt underdeveloped and the treatment of the female characters is pretty poor) but overall, I thought it was a decent thriller.

Grade: Solid B
