Mario & Sonic at Oscars Party brainstorm

For some reason Mario & Sonic is discontinued so we cannot see Nintendo and Sega making a new Olympic video game for them! If let that crossover continued, they should consider another theme... Turns out into Mario & Sonic Party is nice, but how could makes different with original Mario Party (and Sonic Shuffle)? Should consider a new theme in reality for it...

And my answer is movie. The Oscars. Let them cosplay some classic Oscars Best Pictures nominees and winners, most movies are PG-13 and if select the movie is R-rated, that rating must still 16+ on other countries.

Pauline as Robot Maria in Metropolis I added Metropolis with some selfishness reason: I feel sorry it cannot get any Oscars since that was no Best International Feature Film in 1st Oscars yet.

Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic apart as Jack and David in Wings

Peach as Glida and Amy as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz

Sonic as Jewish barber dressed in Hynkel (confused?) in The Great Dictator

Silver and Blaze as Mr and Mrs Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life

Mario as eponymous protagonist in Ben-Hur

Daisy as Maria and Knuckles as Captain Trapp in The Sound of Music

Bowser as Michael Corleone in The Godfather

Luigi as Carl & Tails as Bob in All the President's Men

Donkey Kong as eponymous protagonist in Rocky

Waluigi as Harold Abrahams in Chariots of Fire

Yoshi as eponymous protagonist in E.T.

Vector as Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List

Wario as Frank Costello in The Departed, or Hon Sam in Infernal Affairs the original Hong Kong version

Sticks as Katherine Johnson in Hidden Figures

Rosalina as Katharine Graham and Eggman as Ben Bradlee in The Post

Shadow and Rouge as Robert and Kitty in Oppenheimer For the system spelling problem I turns Barbenheimer into Oppie + Barbie, but more correctly is Oppenheimer costume with some Barbie Pink accessories. @dracarialove I still waiting you upload my commission in your tumblr page, please...

Finally, that game maybe release at 2027 would be better. Metropolis and Oscars 100th anniversary, baby!

Magnus von Horn, The girl with the needle, 2025

La prima impressione è stata quella di tornare dentro, all'interno, del film Schindler's list. Dentro nel senso che quel film, soprattutto in sala, tu non lo vedevi, vi eri dentro. Giravi per le strade del ghetto, guardandoti intorno con i tuoi occhi, i tuoi stessi occhi. Poi dopo un po' ho capito che non si trattava solo di Schindler's list ma anche di Ordet, il messia di Carl T.Dreyer, il grande maestro danese, anch'esso danese. In realtà la storia non ha niente a che vedere nè con l'uno nè con l'altro, o forse no, in realtà c'è qualcosa in comune.

Il film è una sofferenza, chiariamo. Per la protagonista, per lo spettatore. Una sofferenza unica. Una visione agghiacciante. Altro che horror. Terrore vero, e tutto è ispirato a fatti reali. La ragazza, che abita in una bettola, viene sfrattata. Penso ai condomini luridi del romanzo di Bulgakov, Maestro e Margherita. Roba così. Ma lei non ha i soldi e la buttano fuori. Allora chiede per un'altra camera e scopre che l'unica che si può permettere è una soffitta fradicia d'acqua, piena di muffa, un posto che spaventerebbe anche un adulatore dell'acqua stagnante come Tarkovskij. Una palude. Poi la ragazza trova un posto in fabbrica. Siccome è uno schianto il padrone si innamora di lei, o, almeno, è attratto da lei.

Non diciamo nulla. Chiaro che non ne imbrocca una giusta, non giriamoci troppo intorno. Il marito sembrava morto in guerra e invece ricompare, sfigurato, una specie di Elephant man, che diventa subito, manco a dirlo, attrazione del circo.

Aborti, infanticidi. Ma la ragazza è forte, ha sempre una luce di speranza e di rivalsa dentro agli occhi. Diventa sempre meno ingenua, impara la lezione, dote molto rara, PREZIOSA.

Sì, è brava, ragiona.

Finale splendido.

Da non perdere.

E se qualcuno osa dire che non devo usare la parola capolavoro, se la vedrà con me, parola mia.

The Body Politic: Long Island Biennial 2024

In 2024—a year of global elections, as some 60 countries representing half of the world’s populations hold regional and national leadership votes—The Heckscher Museum of Art invited Long Island artists to submit work which engages with contemporary social, cultural, or political issues. The Museum received 762 artwork submissions from 313 artists, and the result, The Body Politic: Long Island Biennial 2024 features exceptional art from contemporary artists in a compelling museum-wide exhibition that features 79 works of art accepted from 60 artists. 

The jurors for the 2024 Long Island Biennial were Ian Alteveer, Beal Family Chair of the Department of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Patricia Cronin, sculptor, Artistic Director of the LGBTQ+ VR Museum and Distinguished Professor of Art, Brooklyn College; and Grace Hong, Assistant Director, Galerie Lelong & Co.

The artists chosen represent the breadth of communities across Suffolk and Nassau counties and the exhibition encompasses a remarkable variety of media with styles spanning abstraction to hyperrealism. “We remain committed to sharing inspiring and thought-provoking new art with our visitors.” said Heather Arnet, Executive Director & CEO. The 8th edition of the Long Island Biennial “will resonate with the entire community given the diversity in artists and the universality of the important themes in their work.”

Carl Moll (Austrian, 23 April 1861 – 13 April 1945)

The View from Schindler's Window, 1886

[masonyin]

01 BEETHOVEN THE TITAN

   Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, on December 16, 1770, the son of a court musician. His father was determined to make him a child prodigy and trained him vigorously.

   Once the young Beethoven played for Mozart and afterwards Mozart commented, “Mark that young man, he will make a name for himself in the world.”

   Beethoven eventually became one of the greatest musical geniuses ever lived and was best known for his nine symphonies. He played an crucial part in connecting the Classical and Romantic styles of Western music.

   His life was heroic but at the same time tragic, much like his music.

03 CONVERSATION IN A CAFE

   From 1818 onwards, Beethoven started carrying blank “conversation books” in order to communicate with friends and acquaintances. They would write in his conversation book, to which he would reply.

   In 1823, once when Beethoven was visiting his favorite coffee house, a stranger suffering the same hearing condition as Beethoven approached him and sought his advice, to which Beethoven replied:

“Baths [and] country air could improve many things. Just do not use mechanical devices [ear trumpets] too early; by abstaining from using them, I have fairly preserved my left ear in this way…When possible, [conversing] through writing is better; the hearing will be spared.”

04 SIXTY COFFEE BEANS

Beethoven’s secretary Anton Schindler recalled: “For breakfast, he drank coffee, which he usually prepared in a glass coffee-maker…coffee seems to have been the one indispensable item in his diet, and he was as fastidious as an Oriental in its preparation. He estimated sixty beans to the cup and would often count them out, especially when guests were present.”

05 BEETHOVEN’S MENU

   Beethoven loved fish and especially sea bass and codfish. He also loved his coffee in the morning and when friends came to visit, he would make them his other favorite dish, macaroni with butter and cheese. He also enjoyed soup with twelve drowned eggs. When it came to beverages, Beethoven preferred flat water and light Austrian wine.

06 FÜR ELISE

   Beethoven’s ‘Für Elise’ is most likely dedicated to Therese Malfatti, a woman to whom Beethoven proposed in 1810. Malfatti also had the original ‘Für Elise’ manuscript in her possession.

   Beethoven once wrote to Malfatti: “Bear me in memory—no one can wish you a brighter, happier life than I—even should it be that you care not at all for your devoted servant and friend, Beethoven.”

   ‘Für Elise’ is especially well-known in Taiwan because it is the music that accompanies garbage trucks. The trucks were imported from Germany and the piece ‘Für Elise’ was already installed in the trucks before they were imported.

07 IMMORTAL BELOVED

   A passionate love letter was discovered after Beethoven’s death. It was never mailed and the addressee of this “immortal beloved” (Unsterbliche Geliebte) remained unknown.

   Beethoven had four great loves in life: Therese Malfatti, Julie Guicciardi, Josephine von Brunsvik and Antonie Brentano. Historians can never be sure to whom this letter was addressed.

   The letter remains one of the most famous love letters ever written in Western history. Deep down inside, Beethoven was an rebellious soul waiting to be passionately loved:

“My angel, my everything, my very self… Wherever I am, you are with me… Your love makes me at once most happy and most unhappy… You - you my life – my everything - farewell - oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your Beloved

Ever thine   Ever mine Ever us.”

08 THE WORLD CAN’T BE HEARD

   Beethoven first noticed he was gradually losing his hearing when he was 28, at the height of his early fame. By 1802, his hearing only worsened but the proud Beethoven did not want the cultural circle in Vienna to find out about his defect, so he often withdrew from social life.

   In the Heiligenstadt Testament, a letter written by Beethoven to his brothers Carl and Johann, Beethoven described the despair he felt about slowly losing his hearing and how he even contemplated suicide:

“If I apporach near to people a hot terror seizes upon me and I fear being exposed to the danger that my condition might be noticed…I would have ended my life—it was only my art that held me back. Ah, it seemed to me impoosible to leave this world until I had brought forth all that I felt was within me…”

09 SYMPHONY NO.5 ‘FATE’

   The premiere of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony took place in Vienna’s Theater an der Wien on Dec. 22, 1808, conducted by Beethoven himself.  Although the premiere did not garner immediate success, later writer/music critic E.T.A Hoffmann praised the symphony with this imagery:

“Radiant beams shoot through this region’s deep night, and we become aware of gigantic shadows which, rocking back and forth, close in on us and destroy everything within us except the pain of endless longing—a longing in which every pleasure that rose up in jubilant tones sinks and succumbs, and only through this pain, which, while consuming but not destroying love, hope, and joy, tries to burst our breasts with full-voiced harmonies of all the passions, we live on and are captivated beholders of the spirits.”

10 THE LAST CURTAIN CALL

   Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, also known as the Choral Symphony, premiered on May 7, 1824 in Vienna, and was an immediate success with the audience. Beethoven was almost completely deaf at this point and couldn’t possibly conduct the orchestra himself, so he stood alongside the “official conductor”, Michael Umlauf. Violinist Joseph Böhm recalled,

“At one moment he [Beethoven] stretched to his full height, at the next he crouched down to the floor, he flailed about with his hands and feet as though he wanted to play all the instruments and sing all the chorus parts.”

   According to the critic for the Theater-Zeitung: “the public received the musical hero with the utmost respect and sympathy, listened to his wonderful, gigantic creations with the most absorbed attention and broke out in jubilant applause, often during sections, and repeatedly at the end of them.”

   The audience was ecstatic, they gave Beethoven five standing ovations, and threw handkerchiefs in the air, hats, and raised hands to show the nearly deaf Beethoven their undeniable excitement.

11 LIGHT IN A DARK PLACE

   Beethoven passed away on March 26, 1827 at the age of 56. His friend Anselm Hüttenbrenner was present when Beethoven passed and recalled during a thunderstorm, as a flash of lightening stroke:

“Beethoven opened his eyes, lifted his right hand and looked up for several seconds with his fist clenched … not another breath, not a heartbeat more.”  

   About 10,000 Viennese attended Beethoven’s funeral procession on March 29, 1872. Franz Schubert was one of the pallbearers. The world is not alone anymore because Beethoven had left his greatest legacy for us to enjoy for centuries and paved the way for the Romantics. His music offers us not only passion and despair but also hope, strength, and consolation.

A Stroll Through Time

Carl Moll (1861-1945), Austrian painter and gallery director.

He is the founder of the Austrian Art Nouveau movement, the Sezession, with Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). He was a Nazi sympathizer, and committed suicide when the Red Army arrived in April 1945.

His heterogeneous style followed the artistic evolutions of his time, at the crossroads of the 19th and 20th centuries.

(The pictures shows, in order, the evolution of Carl Moll's style: Watermill in Goisern - after Emil Jakob Schindler, Wassermühle in Goisern - nach Emil Jakob Schindler, 1884 ; A street in Ragusa, 1887 ; The Roman ruin in Schönbrunn, Die Römische Ruine in Schönbrunn, 1891 ; The Naschmarkt in Vienna, Der Naschmarkt in Wien, 1894 ; View from the Hohe Warte towards Heiligenstadt, Blick von der Hohen Warte auf Heiligenstadt, circa 1900 ; Stroll in the gardens of the Votivkirche, between 1902 and 1903 ; Girl in the flower meadow, Mädchen in der Blumenwiese, 1909 ; Döbling Wien, 1916 ; Santa Maria della Salute, Venice, 1923 ; and finally, Waidhofen an der Ybbs, circa 1938)

Austrian cuirassier holding his fallen comrade, by Carl Schindler

MWW Artwork of the Day (8/27/20) Emil Jakob Schindler (Austrian, 1842–1892) View of Ragusa (Blick auf Ragusa)(1890) Oil on canvas, 140 x 180 cm. Private Collection

The people shown in the foreground are the artist’s wife, the Hamburg singer Anna Bergen, and their daughter Alma, who later married Gustav Mahler and Franz Werfel. The figures on the right in the middle of the work are the painter Carl Moll, shown dressed as a gardener, and Schindler’s second daughter, Grete, who later married the painter Wilhelm Legler. Schindler had rented a house in Ragusa which is clearly visible at the edge of the cliffs. During severe Sirocco winds the waves would break over the cliff, creating a magical spectacle. The work was executed in 1887 during Schindler’s second journey to the Dalmatian coast. Schindler is doubtless the most outstanding practitioner of Austrian mood painting. “He is regarded as a spiritus rector, a leadership figure and shining light”The work here may be regarded as one of the most, if not the most important of Emil Jakob Schindler’s paintings.
