“Die schwarze 13" ("Eye of the Devil") (1966)

“In Zeiten der Not erlässt die Gemeinde von Belnac einen Befehl, der befolgt werden muss. Der Erde, der unfruchtbaren Erde muss geopfert werden. Die Erde fordert Blut …”

Der französische Adlige Philippe de Montfaucon (David Niven) wird von einem seiner Bauern auf sein Landgut Belnac gebeten, da durch eine anhaltende Dürreperiode eine Missernte auf den dortigen Weinstöcken drohe. Philippe, der in seinem Wohnsitz Paris als distinguierter und selbstsicher auftretender Mann von Welt erscheint, verändert sich nach dem mysteriösen Besuch zusehends und reist überstürzt ab. Gegen seinen ausdrücklichen Willen folgt ihm seine Frau Catherine (Deborah Kerr) mit den Kindern Jacques (Robert Duncan) und Antoinette (Suky Appleby). In Belnac herrscht eine bedrohliche, an das Mittelalter gemahnende Atmosphäre, die von dem düsteren Pater Dominic (Donald Pleasance) beherrscht wird, dessen vorgebliche Gottesdienste nicht anderes als schwarze Messen sind. Überall begegnet man Catherine mit kaum verhüllter Abneigung. Ihr Mann Philippe, der über seine augenfällige psychische Veränderung und seine Absichten lediglich in rätselhaften Andeutungen spricht, wünscht ebenso, dass sie den Ort verlässt wie Philippes stets trübsinnige Tante Estelle (Flora Robson). Auf dem imposanten Anwesen der Montfaucons treiben die Geschwister Odile (Sharon Tate) und Christian de Caray (David Hemmings) perfide “Spiele”, wobei die junge Frau als eine Art Magierin fungiert, während ihr Bruder provokativ mit Pfeil und Bogen hantiert. Als Catherine die Beiden des Schlosses verweisen will, erkennt sie, dass sie in Belnac über keinerlei Autorität verfügt und man ihr im Gegenteil mit allen Mitteln zu suggerieren versucht, sie leide an einer psychischen Erkrankung. In der Chronik der Montfaucons entdeckt Catherine den Hinweis, dass im Lauf der Jahrhunderte bereits 22 Oberhäupter der Familie unter mysteriösen Umständen zu Tode kamen …

"The 'Unchained' melody" - Righteous Brothers

1965 Music: Alex North; lyric: Hy Zaret

Into the top twenty of Let's Do It, my part of a crowdsourced collection of singles from 1954-76. From here, I've thought carefully about the order.

Many films of the era have been completely forgotten, or are remembered only for their music. The 1954 prison flick Unchained lives on only through its theme tune, and the words set to it. Hy Zaret's lyric is written from the point of view of a prisoner, who hasn't seen his paramour in so very long.

Todd Duncan sang the song in the film: he was lying on a bed, plaintively calling as someone else strums their guitar. Nominated for the Best Movie Song at the oscars, and propelled to worldwide attention.

Back in the 1950s, the important thing was the song, not the particular performance. "The 'Unchained' melody" attracted lots of renditions, Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Young had excellent vocal versions, Liberace played all the right notes and lots of others on his piano, Les Baxter had his admirers, Reg Snipton's version is best forgotten.

A standard by 1965, the Righteous Brothers recorded their version in a bit of a hurry - it was going to be the B-side to "Hung on you". Bill Medley played a Wurlitzer piano while Bobby Hatfield sung and emoted. He took the song to new places, the soaring vocal in the final verse is all his work. Hatfield said he could do another take better; Medley replied, "No, you can't."

"The 'Unchained' melody" has become a standard: over 1500 recordings, from performers as talented as Perry Como, as young as Gareth Gates, as old as Elvis Presley, and as fivestar as Robson and Jerome. Modern-day impressario Simon Cowell loves the song, it is just the sort of emotion he can comprehend. But we cannot hold that against Medley and Hatfield's version.

(This song-and-performer combo is also eligible for #UncoolTwo50; the Righteous Brothers re-recorded the song in 1990 after it was used on the soundtrack to the movie Ghost. I won't be nominating it in the 1977-99 poll.)

After a match like Sunday’s, one of the worst parts is having to explain, particularly to non football fans, how can you have played well in a match and still have lost, which is a scenario I’m sure many of us found ourselves in this week. Recent outings against Celtic have proven to be torrid affairs for Aberdeen, usually finding themselves badly exposed defensively whilst offering very little threat in an attacking sense. Last weekend’s match showed a marked improvement, with the side making a real fist of the game and despite being a goal behind early on, they continued their good attacking play from the early stages to score an equalising goal and looked set to turn the match into a real contest. Unfortunately, this was shortly followed by an unfortunate ‘what if’ moment when Nicky Devlin’s headed back pass fell to possibly the most clinical Celt who fired them ahead once again and left us all wondering what could have been if the game could have remained level for longer and given Aberdeen a chance to build on what they’d worked hard to achieve. The remainder of the match showed more spirited play from Aberdeen who never stopped trying to fight their way back in and despite losing another late goal, the first home crowd of the season left disappointed but not too dismayed by the early afternoon’s proceedings.

Now we switch from wondering what could have been to what might be possible as we enter our first cup match of the season. The League Cup is generally, for whatever reason, viewed as the lesser of the two domestic cups available however given it’s the last silverware that Aberdeen lifted, there is a sentimental element to the competition for Dons fans and let’s be honest, it’s never the lesser cup if it’s the one you end up taking home. Given our recent history in cup competitions against lower league opposition (don’t say the D word) it will have been a relief to all dandies that Barry Robson has made it very clear that he doesn’t intend to rest anyone for the Friday night fixture and that they are taking the game very seriously. Like myself you might have been buoyed by images of Angus MacDonald on the training pitch, the news that Rhys Williams played a reserve game against Peterhead this week and that it appears James McGarry has fought off jet-lag to immediately start integrating with the squad but it seems from what Robson has said that we may have to wait a little longer until we see the sidelined lads come into the team to make up what you would imagine will be our strongest defence. Whilst it’s disappointing that we won’t get our first looks at Rhys or Jimmy or a chance to reacquaint ourselves with the strapping Angus Mac, I am much more confident after Sunday’s showing that the current stand ins playing slightly out of position, will have enough about them to deal with Friday’s challenge. Moreover, and I’d have spat my pint all over The Bobbin had you informed me ahead of Sunday’s game that I’d be saying this, I’m quite looking forward to seeing Ryan Duncan at left wing back again.

Stirling Albion seem to very much be a club on the up and don’t seem expected to struggle in their own league, despite being freshly promoted. Darren Young’s side have won their opening two league fixtures and already seen off top flight side St. Johnstone in the cup group stages but have lost their last match, a 3-0 defeat to East Kilbride on Tuesday evening. Despite this blip, their form still indicates they will be a threat and I personally always find it makes me a little nervy facing a team who are used to winning ways, regardless of what league they compete in.

For the Aberdeen support it’s another two hour trip south, another sold out allocation and a great excuse to take the Friday afternoon off work to extend your weekend, or potentially write it off completely with too many beers before most have even clocked off. Given the level of support headed down the road it seems the fans and the team are in agreement over the severity of this game or maybe for some it’s the sentiment of returning to the ground where we first got a look at Luis ‘DUUUUK’ Lopes. Let’s just hope that on Friday, the team and the man himself, give us a reason to remember his second appearance for the Dons in Stirling!

For the week of 16 September 2019

Quick Bits:

Absolute Carnage #3 has more glorious artwork from Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer, and Frank Martin. Even if it weren’t part of a fun story serving as the focal point of all of the various different tie-ins and the horrors of Carnage’s current push, this is a sheer visual treat.

| Published by Marvel

Aquaman #52 is a big fight with a weird tentacle monster. Great action here from Robson Rocha, Daniel Henriques, and Sunny Gho. Plus some more on Black Manta and a surprise appearance as a cliffhanger. There’s something more going on.

| Published by DC Comics

Archie ‘55 #1 is the start of another wonderful reinterpretation of Archie in a different time period, from Brian Augustyn, Mark Waid, Tom Grummett, Glenn Whitmore, and Jack Morelli. This one goes into the burgeoning rock music scene, playing up Archie’s love for music, more akin to what we’ve seen before in many Archie comics than Archie ‘41 did. It’s great to see even more art from Grummett.

| Published by Archie Comics

Batman #79 continues Bruce’s rehabilitation and recovery from his beating. Tom King, Clay Mann, Seth Mann, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowles have done a wonderful job during this kind of interlude within the “City of Bane” arc, really grounding the Bruce & Selina relationship, rebuilding it even as Bruce rebuilds himself.

| Published by DC Comics

Black Hammer: Age of Doom #12 concludes this volume of the main Black Hammer narrative from Jeff Lemire, Dean Ormston, Dave Stewart, and Todd Klein. There’s an interesting bit here about family and sacrifice as the team comes to terms with what they have to do in order to stop the Anti-God this time around. Also, it’s interesting to see Lex Luthor and Clark Kent as a couple.

| Published by Dark Horse

Black Panther & The Agents of Wakanda #1 is a great debut from Jim Zub, Lan Medina, Marcio Menyz, and Joe Sabino. This is an outgrowth from the recent Avengers volume and it’s neat to see them acting as an actual team. Interesting mix of personalities, gorgeous artwork, and a very surprising return.

| Published by Marvel

Blade Runner 2019 #3 takes an few interesting turns as Ash is fired from her job with the police and we get some revelations about Selwyn’s wife and daughter. The action from Andres Guinaldo and Marco Lesko is really well done here.

| Published by Titan

Bloodborne #15 pushes further the sanity of our protagonist here, showing time and reality seemingly breaking as he’s immersed further into the insanity of the world and comes to the realization of the horrors that he’s committed. This continues to be a very surreal experience from Aleš Kot, Piotr Kowalski, Brad Simpson, and Aditya Bidikar with some interconnectivity to the hunters we’ve seen previously.

| Published by Titan

Critical Role: Vox Machina - Origins Series II #3 revels in more wonderful humour as the party tries to figure out the nature of the curse afflicting Grog. Matthew Mercer, Jody House, Olivia Samson, Msassyk, and Ariana Maher manage to give this a bit of the feel of the Conan story “The Tower of the Elephant” as they infiltrate a wizard’s tower. But with more gnome tossing.

| Published by Dark Horse

Death’s Head #3 might just be setting up some of the seeds for Incoming in amongst the action with Death’s Head, Wiccan, Hulkling, and Hawkeye. Either way, this is another fun issue from Tini Howard, Kei Zama, Felipe Sobreiro, and Travis Lanham.

| Published by Marvel

Excellence #5 introduces us to Monique, as she’s allowed use of magic by Spencer’s father in contravention of the rules lain out. It’s interesting to see this breech and how it’s handled, with Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, and Deron Bennett adding a new complication to the mix.

| Published by Image / Skybound

GI Joe #1 is a great new take on the property from Paul Allor, Chris Evenhuis, Brittany Peer, and Neil Uyetake. It casts the Joes as an underground government movement within an America that is under siege, and possibly about to lose, to Cobra. How different this is becomes apparent in the first half of the book. I love the art from Evenhuis and Peer. 

| Published by IDW

Guardians of the Galaxy #9 has some rather shocking revelations about who the remaining free Guardians are searching out for help and of who is ultimately the saviour of the Universal Church of Truth. All while seeing another potential future with the universe decimated. Donny Cates, Cory Smith, Victor Olazaba, David Curiel, and Cory Petit are firing on all cylinders here.

| Published by Marvel

Hellboy and the BPRD: Saturn Returns #2 continues this wonderful tale that helps reinvent the format of the broader Hellboy and the BPRD series, crossing through different time periods on this case, and incorporating some very nice character development for Liz. Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson, Christopher Mitten, Brennan Wagner, and Clem Robins are making this a must read.

| Published by Dark Horse

Inferior Five #1 is a rather strange debut from Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Michelle Delecki, Hi-Fi, and Rob Leigh. For one, it’s set in the past (not weird in itself, but setting it in ‘88 takes it outside the current sliding timescale). Two, it spins out of DC’s Invasion event from that time period. And three, the reinterpretation of the Inferior Five so far is very understated. They’re not the familiar reject heroes, but rather nondescript kids in a town where something screwy seems to be going on. There’s also a Peacemaker back-up from Lemire, José Villarrubia, and Leigh that further adds to the mystery of what’s going on here.

| Published by DC Comics

Justice League #32 turns the “Justice/Doom War” up another notch as the League fights on multiple fronts, including a past where they’ve found the Justice Society and the future where the Justice Legion A have become pawns of Brainiac. Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Howard Porter, Hi-Fi, and Tom Napolitano are nicely weaving in though-forgotten and erased by Flashpoint character of DCU history here.

| Published by DC Comics

Killers #3 pushes even more intense and thrilling action at us from B. Clay Moore, Fernando Dagnino, José Villarrubia, and Jeff Powell. How varied and in many cases disturbing the various agents within the Ninja Programme is interesting. Each of them seemingly making Colin King look downright sane and “normal”.

| Published by Valiant

Lex Luthor: Year of the Villain #1 is a curious tour of the multiverse, visiting various Luthors across time and space, from Jason Latour, Bryan Hitch, Andrew Currie, Tomeu Morey, and Tom Napolitano. While it’s interesting to see the various permutations, the point of the story only becomes apparent at the end.

| Published by DC Comics

Middlewest #11 sees Abel throw a temper tantrum after his disastrous meeting with his grandfather, taking it out of Fox and causing a division of their friendship. Naturally, this results in bad things. Skottie Young, Jorge Corona, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and Nate Piekos continue to work magic with this story, fleshing out the world even further with a child labour kidnapping ring.

| Published by Image

Once & Future #2 carries on with this reinterpretation of the King Arthur myth, mixing in horror and extreme little England ideologies, for an incredible second issue from Kieron Gillen, Dan Mora, Tamra Bonvillain, and Ed Dukeshire. The dynamic between Duncan and his grandmother is also wonderful, great bits of humour as she tries “delicately” to get him to navigate this world.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Outpost Zero #13 is something else. Sean Kelley McKeever, Alexandre Tefenkgi, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and Ariana Maher deliver an impressive and surprising penultimate issue that helps turn the world upside down. Gorgeous art from Tefenkgi and Beaulieu.

| Published by Image / Skybound

Psi-Lords #4 is kind of the big one as we find out who the four are and what their full purpose was. It’s very well told. Fred Van Lente, Renato Guedes, and Dave Sharpe are crafting an intriguing story here.

| Published by Valiant

Rick & Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons II: Painscape #1 kicks off a sequel to what was one of the most fun Rick & Morty and D&D stories I’ve read in some time, perfectly mixing the two properties in an inventive way, from the returning team of Jim Zub, Troy Little, and Leonardo Ito, this time joined by Crank! for the letters and down one Patrick Rothfuss as a co-writer. It’s still excellent. There’s an interesting premise here of how the world has been infected with a D&D addiction and how it all ultimately ties back to Rick.

| Published by Oni Press & IDW

Rumble #16 gives us three stories from John Arcudi and Joe Sabino, illustrated each by Alex Horley, Matej Stic & Dave Stewart, and Gerardo Zaffino & Stewart. It’s glorious. Really nice exploration of Rathraq’s own time in the stories from Horley and Zaffino, delivering some beautiful and detailed adventure art.

| Published by Image

Savage Sword of Conan #9 concludes “Conan the Gambler” from Jim Zub, Patch Zircher, Java Tartaglia, and Travis Lanham. It’s pretty damn good. With a pit fight and a surprise revelation about what this really was. Beautiful, bloody art from Zircher and Tartaglia that really emphasizes the brutality in the action.

| Published by Marvel

Star Wars: Age of Resistance - Rose Tico #1 gives us a look at the fate of Hays Minor through the lives of Rose and Paige Tico, again from the team of Tom Taylor, Ramon Rosanas, Guru-eFX, and Travis Lanham. Some nice character development here as well as a parallel with Leia.

| Published by Marvel

Steeple #1 kicks off a bit of a weird one from John Allison, Sarah Stern, and Jim Campbell. It’s wonderful to see Allison doing more art again here as we’re introduced to a seaside town being threatened to be dragged into the sea by the minions of Satan, protected only by a surly parish priest, his dour assistant, and a plucky curate sent to help.

| Published by Dark Horse

Strayed #2 is a bit heartbreaking as humanity continues to exploit Lou’s astral travel to reach out and destroy new civilizations. It’s rather horrifying as to how truly awful human expansion is here, Carlos Giffoni, Juan Doe, and Matt Krotzer go to some lengths as to exploring their cruelty and depravity, committing countless genocides. And for poor Lou too.

| Published by Dark Horse

Supergirl #34 jumps head first into the ongoing narratives of “Year of the Villain” and Event Leviathan now that Kara is back on Earth. It’s interesting as to how quickly and seamlessly the story picks up the various threads of Luthor’s offer and the disappearance of Kara’s adoptive parents without skipping a beat. Great art from Eduardo Pansica, Julio Ferreira, and FCO Plascencia.

| Published by DC Comics

Superman #15 continues the conclusion to the “Unity Saga” with more from the Legion of Super-Heroes and a decision for the fate of Jor-El. Given that we’re now at part 15 of this arc and really 21 of the entire story, it feels a little rushed as to what occurs for Jor-El. 

| Published by DC Comics

Teen Titans #34 pushes everybody’s buttons and Damian is basically a jerk to everyone while trying to find out who stole Djinn’s ring. It’s interesting how Adam Glass, Bernard Chang, Marcelo Maiolo, and Rob Leigh are guiding this team to a place where it’s anyone’s guess as to why they’re still together.

| Published by DC Comics

Valkyrie #3 reveals that Jane has a talking horse. Yeah, he talks. Not just flies, talks. And he likes to be called Mr. Horse because he’s fancy. A talking horse. This series has me for life. Oh, also, there’s an interesting trip through many of the less used Marvel afterlives, mostly told in double-page spreads from a bevy of phenomenal artists in CAFU, Ramón Pérez, Cian Tormey, Roberto Poggi, Frazer Irving, and Jesus Aburtov. Did I mention there’s a talking horse?

| Published by Marvel

Vampirella #3 deals with Vampirella’s mommy issues. Priest, Ergün Gündüz, and Willie Schubert give us more family problems, while giving new context to Vampirella’s arrival on Earth and the genesis of vampires here.

| Published by Dynamite

The Weatherman vol. 2 #4 sees things get even more complicated as more impediments get thrown in the way and Nathan does a stupid thing. Again. And again. It really is a wonder that he’s stayed alive as long as he has. Jody LeHeup, Nathan Fox, Moreno Dinisio, and Steve Wands continue to work wonders with this series.

| Published by Image

You Are Obsolete #1 is a fascinating debut from Mathew Klickstein, Evgeniy Bornyakov, Lauren Affe, and Simon Bowland. It has hints of The Midwich Cuckoos and Logan’s Run, but we’re still unsure as to what’s really going on. There’s a nice mystery here, but a lot of this is introducing us to the point of view character, Lyla Wilton. Really nice to see more art from Bornyakov.
