Shadows of Fear: Repent at Leisure (1.5, Thames, 1971)

"Poor Robert. Do you remember what the doctor said? He'd never seen such an advanced cirrhosis in someone so young. He had a liver like a Strasbourg goose."

"Occupational hazard."

"How'd you think that made me feel? It isn't very flattering for a wife to play second fiddle to a wine list."

"I'm sure it was no reflection on you."

"All the same. I hardly changed the pattern of his life, did I?"

"No... but you're asking Harry to make fantastic adjustments. From galley to, uh, captain's table."

"You're a terrible snob, Peter."

"Oh, I am. So are you, my pet. That's what frightens me."

Nurkic iguala una marca de Rodman. El escolta brilla (37 puntos) y los de Phoenix sueñan aún con eludir el Play-In. Los angelinos plantan cara sin Kawhi, George, Harden, Westbrook, Zubac... con un espectacular Hyland (37+4+9) JOSÉ LUIS MARTÍNEZ Los Suns, liderados por un inspirado Devin Booker, superaron a los Clippers (108-124) y siguen soñando con evitar el Play-In y clasificarse directamente para los playoffs a falta de dos partidos oara el final de la temporada regular. Los de Phoenix (47-33) se colocan a medio partido de los Pelicans (47-32), pero les quedan dos salidas muy complicadas a Sacramento y Minnesota. Aunque tampoco serán sencillos los choques de los de Nueva Orleans, que visitarán a los Warriors y recibirán a los Lakers. LAPRESSE Los Clippers, por su parte, siguen cuartos del Oeste (51-29), pero tienen a los Mavericks (50-30) echándoles el aliento en su lucha por tener el factor cancha en primera ronda de playoffs en el que ambos se enfrentarán. Los angelinos tienen un calendario propicio, pues les queda recibir en casa a Jazz y Rockets. Mientras que los de Dallas recibirán a los Pistons, el peor equipo de la NBA (13-66) y visitarán a los Thunder, que en esa última jornada podrían estar aún luchando por el liderato del Oeste con los Nuggets. Venganza del escarnio de la noche anterior Los Suns se tomaron cumplida venganza del escarnio que sufrieron la noche anterior, en la que fueron humillados ante su público por los Clippers, aunque al final pudieron maquillar el resultado (92-105). Pero el parcial que encajaron de 35-4 les llevó a ir perdiendo hasta por 37 puntos en el segundo cuarto. Esta vez el encuentro fue más competido, pero los Suns apretaron mucho en un gran último cuarto, encarrilando el triunfo con 13 puntos seguidos con los que tomaron la ventaja definitiva (106-114) antes de sellar un parcial final de 23-2 para sellar la victoria en la que su 'Big Three' dio el callo. Devin Booker, con 37 puntos (8/12 t2, 5/12 t3 y 6/6 tl), estuvo muy inspirado. Y Bradley Beal (26+5+4) y Kevin Durant (24+9+3) hicieron su trabajo. Nurkic iguala una marca de 40 años de Rodman Además, contaron con la ayuda de Royce O'Neale (15+7+5) y de un Jusuf Nurkic espectacular que firmó 3 puntos, 19 rebotes, 10 asistencias y un tapón con un solo tiro de campo intentado en los 30 minutos que jugó. Es el segundo jugador en 40 temporadas que suma al menos 25 entre rebotes y asistencias con un solo tiro. El otro fue el díscolo Dennis Rodman. Los suplentes de los Suns sólo anotaron 19 de sus 124 puntos en el primer triunfo en cuatro partidos de esta temporada ante los Clippers, Los angelinos jugaron en cuadro ante las bajas por lesión de Kawhi Leonard (sexto partido seguido que se pierde por problemas en la rodilla), Paul George (rodilla), James Harden (pie), Ivica Zubac (tobillo) y Russell Westbrook (mano), y vieron rota una racha de cuatro triunfos seguidos y siete en los últimos ocho partidos. Hyland es un jugador rápido, hay que darle crédito. Con suerte, Bones tendrá la oportunidad en esta liga de demostrar lo buen jugador que es cada noche Kevin Durant (Jugador de los Suns) Pese a tantas y tan importantes bajas los Clippers compitieron muy bien hasta el último cuarto, al que llegaron ya desfondados y sin acierto. Junto a Brandon Boston jr (23+7+2) y Mason Plumlee (12+12+4) quien más y mejor tiró del carro de los Clippers fue el sorprendente Bones Hyland, autor de 37 puntos (9/17 t2, 6/12 t3 y 1/1 tl), 4 rebotes, 9 asistencias y 3 robos de balóin en 43 minutos. El base recibió elogios de Durant tras el partido: "Me gusta lo que hicimos en el último cuarto al no dejarle tocar tanto el balón", dijo sobre Hyland. "Es un jugador rápido, hay que darle crédito. Con suerte, Bones tendrá la oportunidad en esta liga de demostrar lo buen jugador que es cada noche".

Não muitas óperas, criadas na segunda metade do século XX, resistiram ao teste do tempo e adquiriram uma longa vida no palco. Nixon in China por John Adams é uma dessas óperas.

Esta obra inovadora de John Adams dá vida à visita do Presidente Nixon à China comunista em 1972 para se encontrar com o líder chinês Mao Tsé-tung. Esta produção de Peter Sellars para o Met é baseada na produção de sua estreia mundial em 1987 com decoração minimalista e virtuosos números de balé.

Desde a pompa das exibições públicas até à intimidade dos momentos mais privados dos protagonistas, Adams, Sellars e a libretista Alice Goodman revelam as verdadeiras personagens por detrás das manchetes nesta ópera americana marcante. Não há heróis e vilões, é uma ópera sobre as pessoas que viviam naquela época difícil. Figuras históricas aparecem como seres humanos com as paixões mais comuns, medos e experiências.

Contando com excelente libreto, as cenas de aparato oficial alternam com outras de caráter mais íntimo, e também se dá atenção às preocupações mais pessoais das figuras políticas. A música tem uma espécie de fluidez inexorável, mas pode ser subitamente transformada pelo drama do momento, passando do reflexivo ao explosivo.

Trabalhando com Peter Sellars, John Adams foi além da linguagem minimalista de repetição e simetria, adotando uma forma narrativa com personagens que evoluem com seus respectivos sentimentos.

Sinopse: Pequim, China, fevereiro de 1972.

Ato I Num campo de pouso em Pequim, militares chineses saúdam o presidente Richard Nixon. O primeiro-ministro Zhou Enlai apresenta altos funcionários, Nixon se alegra intimamente com a ideia de que "o mundo está vendo", e passa a fantasias delirantes. No gabinete de Mao, Nixon se esforça por estabelecer contato com o filosófico presidente. Kissinger, assessor de Segurança Nacional, faz comentários canhestros. No Grande Salão do Povo, os Nixon se sentem à vontade. Zhou brinda aos americanos e Nixon, aos chineses. Uma onda de boa vontade inunda a todos. Quando a primeira-dama, Pat, lembra que é aniversário de George Washington, Zhou e Nixon, entusiasmados, reiteram os brindes.

Ato II Percorrendo Pequim, Pat pensa num futuro de virtudes simples. À noite, os Nixon e Chiang Ching, mulher de Mao, vão à estreia de um balé revolucionário. A heroína é chicoteada por um contrarrevolucionário, Lao Szu, surpreendentemente interpretado por Kissinger. Inconformada com a trama, Pat sobe ao palco para alterar seu curso. O presidente a segue e a consola à sua maneira. Mas a heroína é espancada até perder os sentidos. Após uma cena de tempestade, ela, agora armada e instruída da plateia por Chiang Ching, espanta os bailarinos abrindo fogo contra Lao Szu e seu grupo antes da hora. Chiang Ching expõe no palco seu ideal revolucionário.

Ato III Na última noite de Nixon em Pequim, todos estão exaustos, exceto Mao. Chiang Ching pede música e os sons do piano despertam em Pat saudades da Califórnia. Os Mao dançam. Zhou conduz Kissinger ao banheiro. Nixon rememora a II Guerra. Num solo final cheio de indagações, Zhou observa que "tudo parece fugir/ Ao nosso controle".

Hogyan tovább?

Az előző posztban arról írtam, hogy jutottam el a jelenlegi filozófiai, politikai közgazdasági, és politikai nézeteimhez. Ebben a posztban arról fogok írni, hogy tervezem folytatni ezt a „projectet”. Amit itt leírok tessék kritikusan fogadni: ez az, ahogy most látom a dolgokat, és inkább arról szól, milyen irányba szeretnék tovább olvasni, mit látok érdemes célnak. Sok mindenben tévedhetek, sok mindenben lehet, túl optimista vagyok.

Ahogy az előző posztból is egyértelmű volt számomra nagyon fontos Richard Rorty filozófiája, szóval egyfelől az ő írásait szeretném mélyrehatóan tanulmányozni, illetve a róla szóló irodalommal is foglalkozni. Ennek a témának a másik oldala, hogy azokat a műveket is olvassam amik Rorty-ra hatottak. Rorty első könyve a „Philosopy and the Mirror of Nature” (igazából az első könyve a „The Linguistic Turn”, de ennek ő csak szerkesztője), ahol az előszóban John Dewey-t, Martin Heideggert és Ludwig Wittgensteint nevezi meg, mint a XX. század legfontosabb filozófusai. Ezt a három filozófust tanulmányoznom kell. Szintén a „Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature-ben” Rorty erősen épít olyan analitikus filozófusokra, mint Wilard Van Orman Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, és Donald Davidson, ezeket az érveléseket szeretném jobban megérteni.

Szeretném tudni továbbá elhelyezni tudni Rorty-t a filozófia irodalmában, így átfogóbb módon is megpróbálok filozófia történettel foglalkozni, koncentrálva a legfontosabb filozófusokra, Platón, Arisztotelész, Descartes, stb.. De, mivel Rorty az amerikai pragmatizmus hagyományának folytatójának vallotta magát, ezért legmélyebben a klasszikus pragmatista filozófusokkal szeretnék foglalkozni (Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey, esetleg George Herbert Mead), illetve a kortárs pragmatistákkal (ezek közül sokan nem tartják magukat pragmatistának, de sokukra nagy hatással volt a pragmatizmus) mint például, Hilary Putnam vagy Jürgen Habermas.

Rorty filozófia kritikájáról gyakran elmondják, hogy nem ad túl sok támpontot arról, a filozófusoknak mit is kellene csinálniuk. Ezt felfoghatjuk azonban úgy is, hogy ha a filozófusok mentesülnek, a régi fölöslegessé vált problémáktól, akkor kitalálhatják maguknak, mostantól milyen problémákkal lesz érdemes foglalkozni.  Úgy gondolom Rortynak igaza van akkor, amikor azt mondja, hogy adjuk fel a bizonyosság misztikus keresését, és koncentráljunk a mindennapi földhözragadt problémákra, ezért úgy gondolom, akkor vagyok a leghűségesebb Rortyhoz, hogyha a filozófiai érdeklődésemet megpróbálom politikai közgazdaságtani, szociológiai, technológiai és természettudományos érdeklődéssel is kiegészíteni.

Wilfrid Sellars így határozta meg a filozófia célját, „A filozófia célja…, megérteni, hogyan függenek össze a szó legbővebb értelmében, a dolgok, a szó legbővebb értelmében.” („The aim of philosopy…, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term.”) Ez a meghatározás nekem nagyon szimpatikus, és ez is megerősít abban, hogy ahhoz, hogy az ember filozófiával foglalkozzon elengedhetetlen, hogy a szigorúan vett filozófián kívüli témákkal is foglalkozzon, csak így tudja megismerni a „dolgokat” és az „összefüggéseket”, amiket Sellars említ.

A korábbi posztban csak a „közgazdaságtan” szót használtam, de bármikor ezt használom, nyugodtan gondoljuk hozzá a „politikai” szót. Pogátsa Zoltán meggyőzött, hogy politika nélkül nincs közgazdaságtan, hiszen mindenképpen az államnak szerepe van, hogy a jogi kereteket megteremtse egy gazdaság működéséhez. Jelenleg úgy gondolom azt a fajta filozófiát, amit én szeretnék csinálni legjobban Michael J. Sandel képviseli. A „The Tyranny of Merits” című könyve szerintem nagyszerű példája annak, hogyan érdemes filozófiával foglalkozni, ugyanis nem tartalmaz „mély” metafizikai vagy ismeretelméleti fejtegetéseket, viszont sok történelmi és gazdasági példát hoz, és közérthetően elmélkedik arról, hogy mi az igazságosság, és ez mit jelent a gyakorlatban.

Rorty méltatja Dewey-t, hogy helyesen gondolta azt, hogy a demokráciát a filozófiának nem megalapoznia kell, hanem azt kell kérdeznie, hogy ha demokráciában akarunk élni, akkor mi a filozófia feladata egy demokráciában? Ezzel egybecseng John Rawls munkája, aki az igazságosság elméletét próbálta leválasztani a filozófiáról, és az igazságosság egy politikai elméletét bemutatni. Számára szintén nem az a kérdés, hogyan lehet megalapozni filozófiailag az igazságosságot, hanem hogyan tudunk egyetérteni az igazságosság mibenlétében, még ha a személyes filozófiai nézeteink ellentétesek is. (Ezekről lásd Rorty írását, melynek címe „The Primacy of Democracy to Philosophy”, illetve John Rawls: „Justice as Fairness: Political not Metaphysical”) Ezekről azért írok itt, mert szerintem ez a helyes út, és én is ezt szeretném követni.

Jelenleg az emberiség legnagyobb problémáinak én a klímaváltozást, a társadalmi különbségek növekedését, a társadalmi kohézió romlását, és a demokrácia kiüresedését látom. A négy probléma összefügg, és számomra úgy tűnik a neoliberális kapitalizmus ezeknek a fő okozója.

Ezen a pontos máris szeretném leszögezni, hogy nem vagyok marxista. Nincs ötletem, hogyan lehetne a kapitalizmust leváltani, de úgy gondolom erre nem is feltétlenül van szükség. Nagyon érdekel a második világháború utáni időszak mind az Egyesült Államokban mind Nyugat Európában, ugyanis úgy tűnik nekem, ez volt az a kor, amikor a kapitalizmus a legjobban működött. Erősek voltak a szakszervezetek, és a megtermelt javak viszonylag egyenlően oszlottak el a társadalom rétegei között. Úgy gondolom azért fontos tanulmányozni ezt az időszakot, mert sikere mai dogmák sorát képes megdönteni. Például, hogy az állam rossz gazda lenne, hogy az állami költségvetés olyan, mint a családi kassza, hogy csak alacsony adókkal lehet gazdasági növekedést elérni, és a legnagyobb dogmát, hogy a „szabad piac” mindent megold.

Ezt az állapotot rúgta fel a neoliberalizmus, és a globalizáció miatt létrejövő szabad tőkeáramlás. Szóval mindenképp szeretnék alaposabban utánanézni történelmileg ennek az időszaknak, és az azt követő neoliberális kor kialakulásának.

A második világháború utáni időszak domináns közgazdaságtani irányzata a Keynesiánus közgazdaságtan volt. Ezért szeretném megismerni John Maynard Keynes munkáit és az őt követő közgazdászokat. Úgy tűnik nekem a jelenlegi neoliberális uralmat ez az iskola képes megtörni. A keynesiánusok mellett más politikai közgazdaságtani iskolák is szimpatikusak számomra, például, amit úgy hívnak development economics, melynek képviselői többek között Amartya Sen, Daron Acemoglu, és Ha-Joon Chang. Az egyenlőtlenségek kialakulásával kapcsolatban pedig nagyon érdekel Thomas Piketty munkája.

Jelenlegi korunknak viszont van egy problémája, ami alapjaiban kell, hogy befolyásolja a közgazdasággal kapcsolatos gondolkodásunkat, ez pedig a klímaváltozás. A klímaváltozás megismerésének tudományos hátterét szeretném jobban érteni, illetve szeretném tanulmányozni a megújuló erőforrások lehetőségeit is. A közgazdaság ott jön a képbe, hogy korábban az volt a kérdés, hogy egy növekedő gazdaság javait, hogyan lehetne igazságosabban elosztani, mostanra ez úgy kell, hogy módosuljon, hogyan lehet egy nem-növekedő gazdaság javait igazságosabban elosztani. A jelenlegi technológiákkal a növekedés nem lehetséges, erre megoldást kell találni, de úgy tűnik, hogy ezt az államok önállóan nem tudják (lehet nem is akarják) megoldani.

Végezetül úgy gondolom, ezekkel a problémákkal esélyünk sincs szembenézni, ha nincsen társadalmi összetartás és nem javítunk a demokrácia jelenlegi állapotán. Sajnos gyakran érezhetjük azt, hogy ezek csak üres közhelyek, mindenki az „összefogás” fontosságát hangoztatja, de érdemi lépések ritkán történnek, és azt is nehéz megfogni, mit is kellene ezért pontosan tenni? Nagyon érdekel ezeknek a szociológiai és szociálpszichológiai oldala. Mi tesz egy társadalmat aktivá, hogy saját maga alakítsa a sorsát és nem csak passzív elszenvedője legyen egy szűk elit önkényének?

Sir, Might I Suggust sending your Nephew to Serve with a Regiment stationed in the Subcontinent. The rather Dreary and Inhospitable environs of this D~mned place might Cool the Fires of Youthful Adventure, and perhaps Instill some Sense into your Nephew. Do make sure not to Commission him with an East Indies Co. Regiment, for they are perplexingly more Debases then H.R.H's Dragoon Guards could ever Aspire to be.

My Dear Sjt Sellar–

It Pains me to hear you are Still Stranded in that Wretched Heat! May you Return Home Soon, and in Good Health. It is Often Said Hardship builds a Man’s Character, and it was on That Account which I believed the Service may prove Edifying for my Nephew. The Problems with finding Another Assignation, however, lie with my Inability to Afford a Commission for Him; My Acceptance of HRH’s Offer (Unless his Feelings Change regarding Yours Truly); And my Nephew’s disinterest in Ambition Generally, which I Now Understand was only Dissipated by the Promise of Profligacy Beyond his Usual Scope. The Situation is Deplorable–but an Answer shall be Found.

Cool Examples of Art Forms You Might Think Are Boring

Here's a handful of remarkable works of art forms with a reputation for being boring, stuffy, or inaccessible. These are pieces that I think give a decent introduction to the art form, showcase some interesting benefits of it, and/or that might appeal to people who have previously shrugged or turned up their nose at the genre. I was disinterested in these genres until I was blessed with enough college elective credits to delve deeper into them so here are some curated selections, almost all of them are on YouTube and the opera and ballet clips are mostly under 5 minutes. Have a look around, check out whatever sounds interesting, and feel free to link to more examples.

Silent Films

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: German expressionist horror from 1920. Very stylistically driven and massively influential. The sets alone are worth the watching, and it's essential viewing for any horror fan.

Nosferatu: Another classic horror film, very on-season for Dracula Daily readers. This and the Caligari version above are both updated to have English captions built in.

Le Voyage dans la Lune: Short film from 1902 by Georges Méliès. Méliès is widely known for being arguably the first special effects artist, and this is pretty well agreed upon as the first sci fi movie. If the first part bores you, at least check out the moon set.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed: This 1926 film is the oldest surviving feature length animated film (65 minutes) and it's absolutely stunning. It's created with silhouetted paper cut outs and took three years to make. Vimeo.

Metropolis: This one might be too long for silent film novices at 2.5 hours, but it needs at least a mention. Most lists have this film as their number one silent movie and it's not for no reason.

The Passion of Joan of Arc: This film is mostly known for its groundbreaking use of close-ups and facial expressions. I can't find a good quality version with English subtitles (let me know if you have one) so here's a short clip to show off those camera angles.

Opera

L'incoronazione di Poppea: If you want to get more into opera, why not start with a clip from an opera by the man usually credited with inventing opera. Beautiful piece of music that demonstrates the early days of the art form and a great example of a countertenor (male soprano). The singers also do an excellent job portraying how weird and messed up this relationship actually is.

Salome: To fulfill your "woman covered in blood" needs.

Sellars' Don Giovanni: A 1990 version of Mozart's 1787 masterpiece set in the 1980s in Harlem. A neat take on my personal favorite opera. The rest of the opera is available in segments on Youtube.

Cinderella: A campy 1981 version of a very catchy melody from Rossini.

Wozzeck: I have never seen a version of this that wasn't batshit insane and that's how it should be. This is a later opera from the 1920s that is meant to be atonal and bizarre. It's avant-garde, a little disturbing, and very expressionist. This is a clip from a 2016 version.

The Magic Flute Animation: More Mozart! The first three videos in this playlist are from an animated (and heavily shortened) English version of the Magic Flute. A great way to experience the story and some of the music without watching a whole opera.

The Night Queen Aria: which is from the Magic Flute. If you've only heard one aria, it's probably this one. This is, in my opinion, the best version.

Ballet

Alice in Wonderland: A clip of the tap-based Mad Tea Party scene, featuring great costumes. This performance has a lot of really neat scenes, and I'd also recommend the Middle Eastern-inspired Caterpillar scene (I mean just look at this man move).

Swan Lake coda: These two can fly. A great clip of a famous coda that demonstrates just how superhuman these dancers need to be.

Mr. Jeremy Fisher: This is the frog ballet that you've definitely seen gifs of on tumblr. I can't find the whole thing, but here's a 5 minute clip that also shows off that beautiful set.

Frankenstein: I never knew I needed this but I love it. This clip is more acting than dancing, so here's another that shows off some ballet skills.

Don Quixote: I just love the joy in this scene, and those floaty skirts are amazing. Also someone gets slapped by a fish.

Edward Scissorhands: Another interesting adaption choice. Watch the way they have to dance so that the scissors never touch her skin, that is highly unnatural for a duet and must have been very difficult to choreograph.

If there's another art form you think people should give a second look, let me know!

Law and Disorder (1958)

"Right, now listen boys, it's all lined up: we're getting rid of the judge."

"What?"

"Knock off a judge? You must be raving, we'll spend the rest of our lives in clink."

"Here, let me out!"

"We don't have to touch him. Police are gonna arrest him."

"Oh, that's better. Thought we'd turned nasty."

That Time Ringo Starr Played Frank Zappa in 200 Motels

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

With Peter Jackson’s re-cut of The Beatles: Get Back coming at the end of November, we are reminded the Beatles were cinematic stars as well as musical artists. Beyond the group’s films, John Lennon played Private Gripweed in Richard Lester’s How I Won the War, and Ringo Starr acted in quite a few films. His choices were far more in keeping with the underground and independent air of the time. Starr starred with Peter Sellars in the anti-capitalist satire The Magic Christian, as the villain in the Spaghetti Western Blindman, and the voyeuristic Mexican gardener Emmanuel in the sex farce Candy. But his most counterculture and independent nod was as Frank Zappa in the film 200 Motels (1971). A special edition of its soundtrack, Frank Zappa 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition, is coming out on Nov.19.

Written by Zappa, who co-directed with Tony Palmer, 200 Motels is a musical film which sought to project the surrealistic reality of being a pop musician on the road in 1971. The film stands in history as the first full-length feature where the action was shot directly onto videotape and transferred onto 35mm film for cinema release. To do this, they used the old 3-strip Technicolor method of negative and print to isolate the three color signals – red, blue and green – and transfer them to 3-strip 35mm film. Shot in just 10 days at London’s Pinewood Studios, with a budget of around $650,000 from distributor United Artists, Zappa showed what the new medium could do with spectacular state-of-the-art visual effects.

Zappa first started shooting homemade 8mm movies in 1958, and his interest in filmmaking led to cinematic innovations. His onramp to the intersection between music and film led him to unleash Bruce Bickford’s clay-mation into the 1979 concert film Baby Snakes. Palmer directed the 1968 BBC music documentary series All My Loving, which featured Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Zappa.

“Touring makes you crazy,” Zappa explains at the start of the musical motion picture. The band in the film and on the soundtrack consisted of Frank on guitar and occasional bass, the Turtles’ Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan – who called themselves Flo and Eddie – on vocals, Ian Underwood on woodwinds and keyboards, drummers Aynsley Dunbar and Jimmy Carl Black (who also sings lead on “Lonesome Cowboy Burt”), George Duke on keyboards & trombone, Ruth Underwood on percussion, and ultimately, Ringo’s chauffer Martin Lickert on bass.

Ringo plays Larry the Dwarf, who is actually a sinister trout mask replica of a renowned bandleader. “It was very strange actually,” Ringo explains on a track from Frank Zappa 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition. “A call came from the Apple office that Frank Zappa had this idea, and he wanted to present it to me. I thought, oh great, cos I’d heard Frank’s music. In a very musical way, it was very whacky actually. So, I invited Frank to my house. He laid this huge score out and said ‘I’ve got an idea to make this movie, and here’s the score.’ I said, ‘Why are you showing me the score? I can’t read music. But because of that I will do the movie.’”

It wasn’t just any part. “He told me he wanted me to play him, because he just wanted to be a musician in it,” Ringo remembers on Frank Zappa 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition. The ex-Beatle wasn’t just any acting musician. “You couldn’t get a bigger pop star than me at the time,” Ringo humbly admits on the CD. “Also, it was strange, the Ringo-playing-Frank. It was a nice premise and I got to hang out with musicians, which is always a good deal.”

The veteran drummer was known for keeping time with other kit players. He would play The Concert for Bangladesh side-by-side with Jim Keltner, which by the look of the footage, was done so Ringo could joke around with someone between, and during, songs. For 200 Motels, Ringo brought along one of his best mates, Keith Moon, the pyrotechnically endowed beat-keeper for The Who. Moonie plays a Hot Nun. “[Zappa] wants me to fuck the girl with the harp,” Ringo, as Larry, says in the film upon seeing the habit-clad basher banging his way through the orchestra pit. “The magic lamp, he wants me to stuff it up her and rub it.”

Renowned rock groupie and author, Pamela Des Barres, who also sang in the all-girl band The GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously), makes her acting debut in 200 Motels. She would go on to play a recurring role on the soap opera Search for Tomorrow, as well as act in Sylvester Stallone’s 1978 film Paradise Alley. But Des Barres’ biggest contribution to cinema is inspiring Cameron Crowe to add the musical muse Penny Lane to the mix of his rocking movie memoir Almost Famous.

To lend the film cinematic credibility, Zappa also cast noted actors. Our Master of Ceremonies, Rance Muhammitz, was played by Austrian-American actor Theodore Bikel, who was also a folk singer and political activist. Bikel played Captain Von Trapp in the original Broadway production of The Sound of Music. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing Sheriff Max Muller in The Defiant Ones (1958), and appeared in such films as The African Queen (1951), Moulin Rouge (1952), The Enemy Below (1957), My Fair Lady (1964), and The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966). He also guest-starred on an episode of Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone.

200 Motels also features players from the serious world of music, like classical guitarist John Williams, the Monteverdi Choir, and the Royal Philharmonic, which is seen throughout the film in a prison camp called “The Centerville Recreational Facility,” with the percussionists dressed as Nazi guards. The film was “at once a reportage of real events and an extrapolation of them,” according to the press kit. “Granting the fact that [the Mothers] tend to operate somewhere on the outermost fringes of your real-life Rock & Roll Consciousness, the film is an extension and a projection of the group’s specialized view of and participation in this intriguing area of contemporary human experience. Groupies, Life on the Road, Relationship to Audience, Group Personality-Chemistry, Macrobiotic Food & Tie-Die Shirts.”

Zappa makes no attempt at a documentarian’s cinema verité accuracy. The cities merge into one town called Centerville, “a real nice place to raise your kids up.” Unless they grow up to be musicians who hang out at cowboy bars. The surrealistic documentary explores the kinds of things that happen to a band on the road, the hustle, boredom, burnout, and paranoia. Directly derived from Zappa’s own experience, the story is told in short comic bits, interspersed with performances by the Mothers of Invention and the Royal Symphony Orchestra. The Mother of Invention band members’ primary motivations are the search for groupies and the desire to get paid.

“I was the devil Frank, and I would tape the band, talking. Then Frank would write a song about it and force them to play it and sing it,” Starr says in an audio clip on the Box set, before breaking into appreciative laughter.  

One of these eavesdroppings would land in the space between art imitating life mimicking art. Frank’s microphone caught Mothers of Invention bass player Jeff Simmons moaning about playing “Zappa’s comedy music,” and wanting to start his own group. Zappa wrote it into the script and cast Simmons as the character Jeff. But the bassist wound up forming that band and leaving the Mothers of Invention right before shooting was set to begin. This left Zappa without an actor or a bass player.

“From the point that Jeff Simmons quit the group we’ve had a bunch of adventures trying to find somebody to replace him, not only for the bass parts in the music, but to play the role that he was supposed to play in the film, which is a pretty large part,” Zappa says in one of the clips from the CD.

“Our first candidate for the role was Wilfrid Brambell, who played the grandfather in A Hard Day’s Night,” Zappa says on the track “A Bunch of Adventures” from the album Playground Psychotics. “Wilfrid came over, tried out for the part, everything was set, he rehearsed with us for about a week, and then one day came to the studio here, and completely freaked out, and said that he couldn’t handle it anymore. So, we went into the dressing room, sat around with the guys in the band, and tried to figure out what we were gonna do about replacing the replacement. And the first person that walked through the door was Martin Lickert, who happened to be Ringo’s driver, and everybody just turned and looked at him and went, ‘You.’”

The 22-year-old chauffeur read the script, sounded good to Frank, and because so much of music is a happy accident, it turned out Lickert was a musician. “I think he’s good for the part, is quite professional on screen and, as a bass player he’s not astonishing but, he can make the parts.”

200 Motels marked the end of Lickert’s stint as Ringo’s driver. He gave his notice and joined The Mothers of Invention on bass for a tour of America.

In a clip from the CD Box set, Zappa doesn’t guess whether Ringo had a good time on the film. “Well, it’s hard to tell, I never bother to ask people whether they enjoy working for me,” Zappa says. “But he still talks to me, so I guess it wasn’t too bad.”

“It was great, from day one,” Ringo told Uncut magazine. “I did like Frank. I’d met him several times. He was a beautiful human being. As far as I was concerned, his music was crazy – but that’s one man’s opinion. He was a lot of fun.”

200 Motels premiered at the Plaza Theatre, 627 Madison Avenue, New York City, on Oct. 29, 1971. Consisting of a series of episodes without an overall plot, critics blasted everything, from the story to the music, except the visual works, which combined frenetic cuts, animation and a virtual light show. The film employs all the special effects available: speed changes, false colors, double and triple exposures, and solarization. Many felt the film’s multidimensional approach was overbearing, unrelenting, and incomprehensible. “If there is more that can be done with videotape, I do not want to be there when they do it,” Roger Ebert wrote in his 1971 review.

Director Palmer later called 200 Motels “the worst film I’ve done.” Though when he later met David Lean, the director of Lawrence of Arabia, “All he wanted to talk about was 200 Motels and how it had been done,” Palmer wrote in Talkhouse.com.

200 Motels was mind-blowing in a way traditional rock docs like Don’t Look Back, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and the Woodstock and Monterey rock festival movies avoided. It is actually closer to the fantasy-comedy of The Beatles’ films like A Hard Day’s Night and Help!, and, like Magical Mystery Tour, 200 Motels set a new standard for experimental musical, independent films. It also influenced the art of music videos. It is a must-see for Zappa fans, as is the soundtrack, but also for lovers of innovative cinema.

Su actuación ante Chicago le sumó cifras a un par de renglones. Cabrera anotó su carrera número 1.533 de por vida, situándolo así en el puesto 60 de todos los tiempos tras superar a Frankie Frisch (1.532). Ahora va por las 1.539 carreras anotadas en poder de  George David. También recibió recibió dos bases por bolas para llegar a un total de 1.236 de por vida. La temporada la inició en el puesto 57 y ahora se encuentra a solo nueve de distancia de los 1.243 de Willie Randolph.   T. Mogollon /N.Vegas/H. Capote Theoscar Mogollón González | @Theo_Mogollon Los Tigres de Detroit derrotaron 7-2 a las Medias Blancas de Chicago en la noche de este jueves, consiguiendo así su triunfo 23 de la temporada que los deja a dos juegos de distancia de los Mellizos de Minnesota por el primer lugar de la División Central de la Liga Americana. Pero más allá del importante triunfo de los bengalíes, todos los ojos siempre se posan en Miguel Cabrera cada vez que se para en el cajón de bateo. Y es que en su última temporada en las Mayores, el maracayero busca seguir sumando números que le permitan ingresar al Salón de la Fama. Para esta ocasión, Miggy finalizó la jornada de 2-0 con una carrera anotada y dos boletos. Pero a pesar de que no logró conectar ningún imparable que le permitiera seguir acercándose a peloteros como Dave Winfield y Alex Rodríguez, su actuación ante Chicago le sumó cifras a un par de renglones. En el productivo cuarto episodio para Detroit, Cabrera anotó su carrera número 1.533 de por vida, situándolo así en el puesto 60 de todos los tiempos tras superar a Frankie Frisch (1.532). Ahora, el criollo pone la mira en el próximo peldaño que está ocupado por las 1.539 carreras anotadas por George David. Por su parte, los dos boletos que negoció también hay que tomarlos en cuenta. En la baja del cuarto y séptimo episodio, Miggy recibió dos bases por bolas para llegar a un total de 1.236 de por vida. La temporada la inició en el puesto 57 y ahora se encuentra a solo nueve de distancia de los 1.243 de Willie Randolph. Tras su última actuación, el venezolano deja en .176 su promedio al bate, con apenas cuatro impulsadas, tres anotadas, nueve boletos y 15 imparables en 85 turnos al bate.  Acuña Jr. en otra gran jornada con el bate y la estafa [caption id="attachment_74964" align="aligncenter" width="675"] Acuña llegó a 22 bases robadas en la campaña. Foto Twitter[/caption] Al parecer no hay una jornada de las Grandes Ligas donde no resalte un "tal" Ronald Acuña Jr., quien juego tras juego demuestra que está entre los peloteros más sofisticados de este deporte. Nuevamente el jardinero de los Bravos de Atlanta volvió a tener una gran actuación en el triunfo de su equipo 8-5 contra los Phillies de Philadelphia, al batear de 5-2 y aumentar su registro de bases robadas. El "Abusador" conectó un sencillo y un doblete en este compromiso y además se estafó dos almohadillas, para llegar 22 bases robadas en lo que va de 2023, estando cada vez más enrumbado al famoso 40-40. Tras este nuevo "día en la oficina" para el de La Sabana, su promedio aumentó a .332, tercer mejor average de la Liga Nacional, además llegó a 15 tubeys, acumula 11 vuelacercas y ha empujado 27 carreras. De seguir con este ritmo el jugador criollo pasaría cómodamente las 40 estafadas en esta campaña y estaría a la espera de también poder pasar esa barrera de los 40 jonrones, para sellar su excelente rendimiento en el presente torneo. Anthony Santander en noche perfecta [caption id="attachment_74965" align="aligncenter" width="675"] Anthony Santander castigó a los Yankees con tres imparables. Foto AP)[/caption] Previo al duelo de este jueves entre Orioles de Baltimore y Yankees de Nueva York, destacábamos que a lo largo de su carrera, Anthony Santander se ha mostrado productivo cuando llega el mes de mayo, tal como lo es el que está en curso, es un período donde se recupera de un arranque difí

cil. En absoluta sinergia con esa realidad estadística, el toletero margariteño una vez más respondió, siendo pieza clave en el lauro obtenido por los oropéndolas en el Yankee Stadium con marcador final de 3x1. Aunque este fue un excelente duelo entro los abridores Kyle Gibson por la visita, y Clarke Schmidt por los de casa, Santander logró responder en cada uno de sus turnos al bate; en el 1er inning dio sencillo, en la 3ra igualmente dio hit, para el 5to tramo otro inatrapable que engomó a Adam Frazier, mientras en la 8va sacó boleto para luego anotar con doble de Austin Hays. De esta manera, su promedio de bateo subió a .267, su porcentaje de embasado a .350. Esa rayita remolcada, fue la 1era de en todo el encuentro. La solitaria anotación de los mulos llegó en la novena ante el portentoso relevista Yennier, apenas la 2da que permite en lo que va de certamen; logró su 4to rescate, su promedio de carreras limpias permitidas quedó en 0.68 (en 26.2 innings) y su whip en 0.45. La victoria se dirigió a los registros de Gibson (6-3, 3.82), en trabajo de 7 episodios de solo 2 imparables, 4 boletos y 3 guillotinados; cayó Schmidt (2-5, 5.58), laboró 5 tramos de 5 inatrapables, 1 carrera que fue merecida, 2 bases por bolas más 4 chocolates recetados. Carlos Carrasco en gran noche ante Cachorros en Chicago  [caption id="attachment_74966" align="aligncenter" width="675"] Carrasco con su gran labor enjauló a los Cachorros. Foto AP[/caption] Antes de su presentación de este jueves, Carlos Carrasco tenía 4 aperturas y solo en 1 de ellas había permitido menos de 5 carreras; por esa razón se presentó al montículo del Wrigley Wield con abulto promedio de anotaciones limpias permitidas, 8.68, así como un whip de 1.55, igualmente deficiente. Pero con los conseguido ante los Cachorros, es probable haya iniciado un punto de inflexión que lo encarrile a la calidad que nos tiene acostumbrados; por espacio de 6.2 entradas permitió 5 imparables, 1 sola rayita que fue merecidas, dio 2 boletos y abanicó a 4. Esa solitaria anotación obedeció a cuadrangular solitario de Dansby Swanson. En total, apeló a 100 lanzamientos, 66 de ellos en la zona de strike. Poncha a Matt Mervis, Christopher Morel, Swanson y Mike Tauchman. Su labor fue apropiadamente respaldada por la ofensiva de los Mets de Nueva York, que con el "Cookie" en el morrito, fabricó 7 carreras, 1 en el 1ero, 3 en el 3ro, otra en la 5ta y 2 más en el 7mo. De esas pisadas del plato, Pete Alonso, Brett Baty y Starling Marte produjeron 2 cada uno. El venezolano de Barquisimeto salió ganando la partida, su primera del año, tiene también 2 derrotas, su ERA quedó en 6.75 y su whip en 1.42. Posterior a eso, el ataque metropolitano fue capaz de anotar 3 en la 8va con 2 impulsadas para Brandon Nimmo y Francisco Lindor. La derrota recayó en el iniciador osezno, Kyle Hendricks, inefectivo y poco apoyado en su primera apertura del 2023, en 4.1 episodios permitió 6 indiscutibles, 5 carreras, 3 de ellas limpias, dio 2 pasaportes y guillotinó a 5. Quedó con 0-1 y efectividad de 6.23. Para los Mets, Francisco Álvarez (.261) se fue de 5-2, doble y anotada; Eduardo Escobar (.220) jugó solo en el campocorto.

The theater was really full tonight so there are a good number of heads in this video, but they are worked around to the best of my ability. This is a super small theater (less than 160 seats) and at times the cast members were definitely singing to the camera and honestly giving their best performances because of it. All of the things on the upper level (the bathroom, the pathway, and the kitchen) are captured perfectly, and the zooms on the lower level (the living room and bench) look good as well. Obviously because this is a murder mystery kind of show the lighting can get a little bit dark, but my camera handles low lighting incredibly well.
