STORY STATUS - DAY 5

The second day of the festival saw Kanaya more preoccupied with matters of business more than matters of pleasure. Now, though, a new day dawns and the third day of the festival is in full swing! Haunted by nightmares of the missing Egbert party and of the knowledge that her own previous death may have been foul play, Kanaya tries to make the most of the day.

As she attempts to become familiar with the island and meets Feferi's strange friends, can she find the party she was looking for all along? Or will the mysteries simply pile on higher...?

THE LOCATION

The Isle of Skaia, a little island known for it's Dungeon which, while relatively new, appears to draw adventurers from far and wide with a mysterious call...

Lo'Oat appears to come from an old language, meaning "(Land of) Omens and Truth"

THE CAST

Kanaya Maryam, Sylph - A scholar from a Western kingdom ruled by the Queen of Elves. She has set sail to the island of Skaia to follow the trail left by a book penned by a mysterious author...

Feferi, Magic User - A beastman elf with a high affinity for magic and a deft hand at healing and resurrection! She is the likely culprit of who sang the half-foot steward off his ship some days prior, but she made sure to save him before anything terrible happened.

Aradia, Exorcist - A tallman magic user with an encyclopedic knowledge of ghosts and the supernatural! She is another kind face on Skaia, though perhaps a little too interested in the workings of the dead. Would really like someone's ectoplasm the next time they die.

Eridan, Magic User - Feferi's mage friend and apparent elf, a somewhat disagreeable and contrarian companion that Kanaya doesn't necessarily look forward to spending more time with.

Mr. Egbert, Baker - A Tallman hailing from Skaia who owns a bakery in the little aboveground village of Lo'Oat. Five years before, his daughter was lost to the dungeon. Every time he attempts to enter and find her body, he's almost immediately killed.

Porrim Maryam, Court Magician - A Court Magician in the Court of the Queen of Elves and Kanaya's elder sister. This is who Kanaya writes to the most about her adventures within the Dungeon.

R. L. Theras / Rose Lalonde, Magic User - The mysterious author of Learned Complacency: A Record of the Zoologically Dubious in Skaia Dungeon, Kanaya's favorite book and adventuring guide.

Missing, presumed dead.

June Egbert, Egbert Party leader - Missing, presumed dead.

Dave of Stri'dir, Knight - Missing, presumed dead.

Jade Harley, Arcane Researcher - Missing, presumed dead.

Movie Review | Night of the Living Dead (Savini, 1990)

Was hoping the good vibes from my OG Dawn of the Dead rewatch would help warm me up to these Romero remakes, but it's only emphasizing how much they suck. I'd seen this one before, and for what it's worth, it's among the better made remakes of a classic horror movie, but that's really damning it with faint praise. Beyond that basic technical competence, I struggle to see what everyone else loves about this. Tom Savini takes the director's chair, and seems to confuse shrillness for intensity. Not a moment goes by when characters aren't shouting, hammering or finding other ways to make noise. This one recreates the big shocks from Romero's original, but the contrast helps you see how much better a director Romero was, letting the shocks play against some level of stillness or buildup, while Savini lets them get drowned out by the noise.

And the remake deserves a few points for making Barbara more proactive, the characterizations make you appreciate how much better a handle Romero had on interpersonal dynamics. Despite some of the shaky supporting performances, Romero's movie was able to define the characters against their collapsing societal roles and assign them a variety of natural responses to the situation. The family man is being a dickhead because his role as the patriarch is being threatened. Even Barbara going catatonic, something that the remake "corrects" for, makes some sense as a trauma response. Here, it feels like the characters are doing what they do because that's what they did in the original, and the handling of the Tom Towles character, who spends his scenes loudly calling the other characters "Lamebrains!" and "Yo-yos!", is a pretty severe miscalculation that pretty much sinks the movie for me.

I'm even going to attack Savini's direction, because his style feels overlit and consciously pulpy, and lacks the brute force impact of Romero's shadowy, claustrophobic images. And while it's admirable on paper that he didn't want to turn this into a gorefest, this is like Eddie Murphy not wanting to do jokes in Beverly Hills Cop III. Nobody is better at this stuff than you, why would you not do it. And some truly heinous splatter might have at least punctured the wall of noise.

Honestly, I might have enjoyed this as a segment in an anthology, and I do like Patricia Tallman and Tony Todd in this. And I guess it's nice that the boys finally made some money off this property. But at feature length, this is a total chore.

Netflix: FRYBREAD FACE & ME

Filmkritik von Cliff Taylor

(Originalartikel auf Last Real Indians) Mein Partner und ich waren letzten Freitagabend angenehm überrascht, als wir sahen, dass es auf Netflix einen neuen Eingeborenenfilm namens Frybread Face & Me gibt. Wir sahen uns etwa zwei Sekunden des Trailers an und waren sofort Feuer und Flamme. Wir vergaßen alles andere, was wir vorhatten, und lehnten uns stattdessen für einen ungeplanten indianischen Filmabend zurück. Danach, als der Abspann lief, waren wir beide so tief befriedigt, so tief bewegt, dass wir, liebe Louise und Makkaroni & Käse, endlich ein paar verdammt perfekte Eingeborenenfilme bekamen, endlich.   Falls ihr noch nicht davon gehört habt: Frybread Face & Me ist das Spielfilmdebüt von Autor/Regisseur Billy Luther (Navajo, Hopi, Laguna Pueblo) und handelt von einem jungen Navajo-Stadtkind, das den Sommer bei seiner Großmutter, seinem Cousin und anderen Verwandten im Reservat verbringt. Der Film ist von Anfang an ein Feuerwerk an nachvollziehbarer Zärtlichkeit, so gut gemacht, gut geschrieben und in jeder Hinsicht gut gehandhabt, dass man sofort weiß, dass es die Art von Film ist, auf die man als Navajo gewartet hat; und in meinem Fall als Navajo, der jahrzehntelang mit enttäuschenden und völlig unnachvollziehbaren Darstellungen von Navajos auf der Leinwand gelebt hat. Wie ich meiner Partnerin sagte, bevor der erste Akt des Films auch nur annähernd zu Ende war: "Man merkt, dass dies kein Schrott sein wird. Endlich mal ein indischer Film, der in Indien gedreht wurde, ein Budget hat und nicht nur Schrott ist!" Der Film folgt Benny, dem Stadtkind (gespielt von Kier Tallman), und seiner viel weiseren, wenn auch ebenso tragisch von schwer aussprechbaren zerbrochenen Familienelementen überschatteten Cousine Dawn (das Frybread Face des Titels, gespielt von Charley Hogan), wie sie durch eine Mischung von Dingen stolpern, die ich als Plains-Indianer Nebraska Ponca wie die Rückseite der Hand meines eigenen Stammes kannte: eine traditionelle Kultur, die mir erschreckend fremd und gleichzeitig sehr persönlich ist, betrunkene Onkel, die kein Problem damit haben, gemein zu Kindern zu sein, abwesende Eltern, Langeweile, Idole der Popkultur (die einzige VHS-Kassette, die bei Bennys Großmutter vorhanden ist, ist John Carpenters Starman, den ich mit meiner Mutter mehrmals gesehen habe, als ich in Bennys Alter war) und regelmäßige Wellen von Trauma und Trauer zwischen den Generationen. Die jungen Schauspieler, die Benny und Dawn bei der Bewältigung ihres Sommers, ihres Onkels und der Menschen um sie herum darstellen, sind absolut fantastisch. Sie wirken so echt und natürlich und wahrhaftig wie die Kinder der Ureinwohner, dass es ein Wunder ist, sie in einem Film zu sehen (es macht absolut Sinn, dass Billy Luther einen Hintergrund als Dokumentarfilmer hat). Sie sind ein Vergnügen und, wie die jungen Wilden in dem kürzlich abgeschlossenen Film Reservation Dogs, eine wahre Medizin für uns Natives, die wir uns schon immer danach gesehnt haben, uns selbst auf der Leinwand zu sehen, die wir uns schon immer nach einer Darstellung gesehnt haben, die so gut ist, dass sie uns tatsächlich heilt. Frybread Face & Me ist witzig, süß, zitierfähig und dringt in das Gebiet ein, das Smoke Signals vielleicht schon zu lange innehatte - ein Klassiker, den man sich sofort wieder ansehen kann. Der Film brachte mich dazu, Dinge zu fühlen, mich in meine eigenen Anfänge in Nebraska zurückzuversetzen, als ich ein Kind war, das herumlief und mit der indianischen Realität schwelgte, das versuchte, sich einen Reim auf seine Verwandten zu machen, das irgendwie nichts Gutes im Schilde führte, das Comics las und so voller Schmerz und Sehnsucht war, die mit einer Geschichte zusammenhingen, die ich nicht kannte, zu der ich keinen Zugang hatte und von der ich keine wirklich klare Vorstellung hatte. Als ihre Großmutter die Schlussszene des Films in Dine' erzählte (ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist, wie viel Dine' im ganzen Film gesprochen wird), bebte mein Kinn unwillkürlich, da nicht nur eine Erinnerung in mir aufgewühlt wurde, sondern so etwas wie der ganze Körper der Erinnerungen, mit dem ich als erwachsener Ureinwohner unterwegs war, zu vibrieren begann. Ich hörte zu, was die Großmutter von Benny und Dawn sagte, und mein Geist streckte sich durch mein Flanellhemd quer durch den Raum und griff nach etwas, das ich kannte, aber mehr davon wollte, etwas, das ich nie gekannt hatte, aber trotzdem wollte, etwas, das mir nahe und gleichzeitig weit weg war; ich hörte ihrer Großmutter zu und hörte mich selbst im Geiste sagen: "Ich erinnere mich auch. Ich erinnere mich auch daran." Dann nahm ich meine Partnerin in den Arm, während sie weinte und eine ganze Welt voller wunderschöner, realer Dinge spürte, die sie selbst erlebt hatte. Sehen Sie sich Frybread Face & Me an und lassen Sie Ihre indianische Seele berühren, und seien Sie dankbar, dass wir uns nicht mehr mit schlechten oder halbherzigen oder mittelmäßigen indianischen Filmen zufrieden geben müssen, sondern dass wir uns in einer neuen Ära frischer Klassiker und lang erwarteter Meisterwerke und Filme befinden, die unsere Geschichten erzählen und so gut und kraftvoll sind, wie es nur geht. Vielleicht gibst du dem Benny oder der Dawn in dir auch eine kleine Umarmung. Es war nicht leicht, als Eingeborene aufzuwachsen, und doch sind wir hier, essen Popcorn und sehen uns süße Eingeborenenfilme an, hier sind wir. Read the full article

Funkatomic, il nuovo singolo è "Take my heart", cover del classico dei Kool & the Gang

Dopo quasi un anno, ecco una nuova produzione discografica firmata Funkatomic, ovvero Claudio Caccini, l'artista italiano che si cela dietro questo progetto. Torna con una cover di un brano dei Kool & the Gang  band simbolo della scena funky nel mondo. La canzone scelta da Funkatomic è  "Take My Heart (You Can Have It If You Want It)", che è stata completamente risuonata in tutte le sue parti dal produttore romano e cantata dalla splendida voce di Lee Wilson.

 "Take My Heart (You Can Have It If You Want It)" è un successo uscito nel lontano 1981, che Funkatomic ha scelto di riproporre rispettando fedelmente la versione originale e dando al contempo una spinta in più alle sonorità. Gli strumenti sono gli stessi, gli arrangiamenti identici e l'interpretazione del cantante impeccabile. Dunque, Funkatomic propone 'semplicemente' sound più fresco e maggior dinamica per rievocare una delle tracce più rappresentative del famoso gruppo…  Tutto questo, ovviamente, è semplice solo per l'ascoltatore. Una produzione di questo livello poteva realizzarla solo chi vive di musica e ha recentemente collaborato con artisti del calibro di Francis Hylton, bassista degli Incognito.

La traccia esce in esclusiva il 5 maggio su Traxsource il 5 maggio '23 e dal 22 maggio è disponibile anche in tutti gli altri store musicali.

E' un altro tassello importante per la carriera di un artista davvero poliedrico come Claudio Caccini AKA Funkatomic. Produttore e dj attivo in tutta Europa, è anche pianista, tastierista, compositore, arrangiatore e tecnico del suono. Funkatomic è attivo fin dal 1992 e da allora ha pubblicato ben 100 brani su etichette discografiche di livello assoluto (Sony Music Italy , Universal France, Bmg, Nervous...). Inoltre, da tempo gestisce con successo la sua personal label, WUrecords. In trent'anni di musica ha spesso collaborato con artisti artisti di livello assoluto come Dawn Tallman, cantante che ha spesso interpretato le hit di Bob Sinclar, i celebri Full Intention, Ce Ce Rogers, Double Dee, Derrick McKenzie, il batterista di Jamiroquai e tanti altri.

Dawn Tallman - For Me

[bigmammallama5]

[tarnishedhalo]

❝ You’ve made your choice… and so have I. ❞ {Optional from any of the boys}

A Little Conversation || -

Riley eyes Dylan up and down. Then he slowly reaches for the shot of whiskey that his fingertips have been hovering around for the last tense sixty seconds. The other man's words are ominous, taken with a certain kind of gravity that could be imparted to words of doom perpetually suspended in the air, or as a threat of immediate and utmost concern. Dark green eyes narrow when they rise up and meet Dylan's on a even playing feel. They're of an age with each other. Riley is taller, they've got a similar build. Which one is faster, which one is more determined would be left up to fate but it'd at least be an even match, something Riley isn't terribly used to. The whiskey burns its way down his throat but the smoky aftertaste is sweet and lingers there. Lips peel back from his teeth as he hisses out a breath then smoothly waves a hand for another one. The bartender seems to take his sweet ass time in refilling it, but at least he's choosing to mind his own business. The bar itself is one of those non-descript kind of holes in the wall. Been in the Tallman family for as long as anyone around these parts can remember, and despite being about two steps from being a sagging shanty, will likely remain. Deer Creek is a fly speck, doesn't even exist on maps, with the closest city being Gatlinburg. It's the one place though that townies and hillfolk like himself can meet in relative peace. Riley knocks back the second shot, and for a few seconds his hand strays toward his hip and the knife that is sheathed there. Then he breaks into a grin and shakes his head. "Shit, son. You ought'er relax. It's just a game'a eight-ball, not like we're settin' up a duel at dawn." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the requisite three quarters needed to claim the single table.
