Brandon De Wilde, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, and Alan Ladd in Shane (George Stevens, 1953)

Cast: Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Brandon De Wilde, Jack Palance, Ben Johnson, Edgar Buchanan, Emile Meyer, Elisha Cook Jr. Screenplay: A.B. Guthrie Jr., based on a novel by Jack Schafer. Cinematography: Loyal Griggs. Art direction: Hal Pereira, Walter H. Tyler. Film editing: William Hornbeck, Tom McAdoo. Music: Victor Young. 

The sexual tension between Shane (Alan Ladd) and Marian Starrett (Jean Arthur) is key to the texture and motivation of George Stevens's Shane. It's obvious from the moment when she watches him, shirtless and glistening with sweat, help her rather dull (and fully clad) husband, Joe (Van Helflin), uproot a tree stump, and it plays like a low bass note throughout the film, until it becomes the main reason why Shane feels he has to move on at the end. After all, he has just humiliated Joe by knocking him unconscious and taking on the role Joe assumes is his rightful one, thereby reducing him in the eyes of his wife and son, Joey (Brandon De Wilde). It also doesn't escape the notice of the bad guys, one of whom taunts Shane with the fact that Joe has a pretty wife. (The filters used on some of Arthur's closeups are a giveaway: She was 50 when she made Shane, her last film, but she's plausible as a character 10 or 15 years younger.) It's to Stevens's credit that he plays all of this as low-key as he does. It would have been much too easy to move the eternal triangle to the center of the film's structure. Shane is an intelligent film, though to my mind it gets a little heavy-handed with the introduction of the black-hatted Wilson (Jack Palance) as the potential nemesis to the knight errant Shane. As fine as Palance's performance is, I wish his character had been given a more complex backstory than just "hired gun out of Cheyenne." Otherwise, the screenplay by A.B. Guthrie Jr. does a fair job of not making its villains too deep-dyed: The chief tormenter of the sodbusters, the cattleman Rufus Ryker (Emile Meyer), is given a speech justifying himself as having gotten there first and settled the land -- we haven't yet reached the point in historical consciousness where the claims of the Native Americans are taken seriously. And Shane's first opponent, Chris Calloway (Ben Johnson), eventually has a change of heart -- not an entirely convincing one to my mind, considering Calloway's behavior in his first encounter with Shane -- and warns Shane that Joe's appointment with Ryker is a trap. Stevens uses Jackson Hole, Wyoming, almost as effectively as John Ford used Monument Valley, and Loyal Griggs won a well-deserved Oscar for his cinematography, even if Paramount's decision to trim the original images at top and bottom to make the film appear to have been shot in a widescreen process resulted in some oddly cropped compositions. Shane is undeniably a classic, but I think it takes itself a little too seriously: The great Western directors, like Ford and Howard Hawks, knew the value of a little comic relief, but in Shane even Edgar Buchanan plays it straight.

UFC 287: Adesanya VS Pereira 2 Preview

I am getting really tired of these “hole in my stomach” feelings heading into these UFC fights and I can only hope that Kamaru Usman was the worst of it.

Israel Adesanya is my final hope.

At one time 3 African fighters held championships in the UFC, and now none do.  Adesanya’s UFC 287 rematch represents the last hope to restore some glory to the continent, and it couldn’t be against a worse opponent.

For all intents and purposes, Alex Pereira is a beast. Every time I see him, he reminds me of Tong-Po, from the Jan Claude Van Damme movies because he is an absolute villain and a beast of a fighter.

However, the fact that he’s a beast, is exactly the problem.

Several people within MMA, as well as anyone with eyes in their head, knows that Alex Pereira is not a natural middleweight.

The reality is that, for the 3rd time Adesanya is being matched up with a guy that’s the size of a light heavyweight, and that’s what the UFC has resorted to in order to find some way to displace arguably the greatest middleweight of all time.

What this brings in to question, is how much should a fighter be allowed to cut weight.

As good a Pereira looks, I have him placed alongside Khamzat Chimaev in the category of weight bully fighters, who really should be competting in heavier weight divisions but are able to cut weight to be considered middleweight and welterweight respectively.

I have no interest in watching weight bully nonsense.

Take for instance, the boy, Jon Jones, I have mixed feelings about Jon Jones personally, but he did move up in weight to compete at heavy.

The issue with expecting everyone to do that, is that, gianing weight or moving up, takes longer than losing weight or cutting weight. It’s an issue others have pondered and Chael Sonnen has gone as far as to call it sanctioned cheating, when a fighter is cutting too much weight and essentially giving themselves an edge provided they can maintain a certain level of strength and conditioning.

And to add another layer, there is the actual history between Adesanya and Pereira, a history that spans almost 10 years in 2 different combat disciplines.

The stat that obviously haunts the Adesanya fans, like myself, going in to this one is the fact that Adesanya is 0-3 against Pereira throughout thier pro careers in Kickboxing and MMA.

That’s the issue here.  Alex Pereira takes away, or at the very least evens out the advantage Izzy usually has in in the stand-up game. 

Jorge Masvidal was on the Joe Rogan podcast, and he noted Pereira’s size and how that serves to also negates the takedown option as far as Izzy is concerned. In the same interview, Jorge Masvidal also talks about the difference in speed and power when you are moving up in weight.

Personally, I have a bunch of issues with this. 

Alex Pereira has a 7-1 record in MMA, and I honestly think his road to a championship opportunity was shortnened by the fact that Izzy was the champ in his division and he beat him in Kickboxing. 

Pereira has not beaten any of the other top middleweights in the division and while I think that has more to do with match making and the UFC maintaining fan interest by ensuring new fights in the event of a Pereira victory, it’s a shortcut for sure. 

The stats from thier first encounter at UFC 281 paint a slightly more rosy picture, and show Izzy winning the 2nd, 3rd round and 4th rounds after and even first round, before Pereira pulls off one of the great 5th round come backs in UFC history.

Adesanya, during his press conference on Wednesday, showed full awareness of how he needed to keep the pressure in in every round, and also fully aware that this is probably his last title shot for a long time.

Khalil Don’t Fear The Reaper

October, 2024

Khalil Rountree's goals in life was to be in a ufc billboard and go share his story to inspire others in a similar position to him. Anyone who was in a dark place in life can reach the highest of the highs if they believe in themselves, "your life matters".

Despite starting off strong and giving Alex Pereira the hardest fight at 205 yet, he still lost. He dropped Alex and made him look human. However be got finished in the fourth round. Towards the end his face was cut open in three places, his stamina was drained, he was getting whailed on by Alex, against all this he still kept swinging. Showing that no matter where you are or how bad it is, to alwasy keep fighting.

After the loss, he was interviewed by Joe Rogan for his post fight speech. Even though he lost the crowd cheered him on. Khalil had accomplished his goal of being on the billboard of ufc previously, but now through the crowd's love and appreciation despite his lost he now knew he finally achieved his dream. He inspired others with his story.

Justiça regressa com vários processos mediáticos à espera de desenvolvimentos

Os tribunais regressam em pleno esta segunda-feira, após mês e meio de férias judiciais, com diversos processos mediáticos prestes a entrarem na fase de julgamento e outros nos quais as investigações do Ministério Público (MP) devem conhecer desenvolvimentos.

A Operação Vórtex é o primeiro processo mais mediático a chegar aos tribunais, com o julgamento a começar no dia 05 de setembro no tribunal de Espinho (distrito de Aveiro). Em causa neste caso estão alegados atos de corrupção envolvendo dois antigos presidentes da Câmara de Espinho, Miguel Reis e Pinto Moreira, estando ainda acusados mais seis arguidos num processo relacionado com projetos imobiliários e respetivo licenciamento urbanístico.

Para 04 de outubro está reservada nova decisão do processo de Tancos pelo tribunal de Santarém, depois de a Relação de Évora ter anulado o acórdão do julgamento que condenou 11 dos 23 arguidos em janeiro de 2022 por omissão de pronúncia e pela utilização de prova obtida através de metadados. O processo do furto e recuperação de material militar dos Paióis Nacionais de Tancos tinha terminado com os autores materiais a receberem prisão efetiva.

Outubro é também o mês previsto para o arranque do julgamento do processo BES/GES, também conhecido como Universo Espírito Santo. Mais de uma década após o colapso do grupo, em agosto de 2014, o caso tem como principal arguido o ex-presidente do BES Ricardo Salgado, acusado de 65 crimes, entre os quais associação criminosa, corrupção ativa, falsificação de documento, burla qualificada e branqueamento.

Considerado um dos maiores processos da história da justiça portuguesa, este caso agrega no processo principal 242 inquéritos, que foram sendo apensados, e queixas de mais de 300 pessoas, singulares e coletivas, residentes em Portugal e no estrangeiro. Segundo o MP, a derrocada do GES terá causado prejuízos superiores a 11,8 mil milhões de euros.

Já no dia 15 de novembro chega a decisão do julgamento do processo que envolve Rúben Oliveira ("Xuxas") e vários outros arguidos por tráfico de cocaína e outros crimes, no Juízo Central Criminal de Lisboa. Segundo a acusação do MP, o grupo criminoso, liderado por Xuxas, tinha "ligações estreitas" com organizações de narcotráfico de cocaína no Brasil e da Colômbia e desde meados de 2019 importava elevadas quantidades daquela droga da América do Sul.

No entanto, a maioria dos processos mais mediáticos ainda pendentes na justiça portuguesa está a aguardar data para começar o julgamento ou com a investigação por concluir.

Um desses processos é o Caso EDP/CMEC, cujo inquérito foi instaurado em 2012 e que deve conhecer despacho de acusação até 30 de setembro, segundo o prazo dado pela Procuradoria-Geral da República. O inquérito tem como principais arguidos os ex-administradores da EDP António Mexia e João Manso Neto e investiga supostas práticas de corrupção e participação económica em negócio nos procedimentos relativos à introdução no setor elétrico nacional dos Custos para Manutenção do Equilíbrio Contratual.

Igualmente em investigação pelo MP, mas sem previsão para serem conhecidas as acusações estão o processo Tutti Frutti, no qual são investigados desde 2018 alegados favorecimentos a militantes do PS e do PSD, através de avenças e contratos públicos, estando em causa suspeitas de corrupção passiva, tráfico de influência, participação económica em negócio e financiamento proibido; ou o caso CGD, que levou em junho de 2021 à detenção do empresário Joe Berardo, por suspeitas de burla qualificada, branqueamento e fraude fiscal.

Na mesma situação está a Operação Picoas, cujo inquérito continua aberto na sequência das buscas efetuadas em julho de 2023 e que levaram à detenção do cofundador da Altice Armando Pereira e de mais três arguidos. Em causa, segundo o MP, está a alegada viciação de decisões do grupo Altice em sede de contratação, suspeitando-se de corrupção, falsificação e branqueamento, e de que o Estado tenha sido defraudado em mais de 100 milhões de euros.

Mais recentes e, por isso, talvez mais longe da sua conclusão estão as investigações de três processos que marcaram o último ano, tanto a nível judicial como político: a Operação Influencer, que levou à queda do Governo e a eleições antecipadas; o caso que investiga suspeitas de corrupção na Madeira; e o processo das gémeas tratadas com o medicamento Zolgensma no Hospital de Santa Maria, na sequência de alegadas interferências políticas.

Sem data para julgamento estão também outros processos mediáticos, como o do antigo deputado do PSD Duarte Lima sobre o homicídio no Brasil, em 2009, de Rosalina Ribeiro, companheira do milionário português já falecido Lúcio Tomé Feteira. O início do julgamento chegou a estar previsto para novembro de 2022, mas sofreu adiamentos, faltando também o envio integral do processo e a notificação de testemunhas.

Já o processo Tempestade Perfeita, no qual foram acusadas no ano passado 30 empresas e 43 pessoas, nomeadamente o ex-diretor da Direção-Geral dos Recursos da Defesa Nacional, Alberto Coelho, por corrupção passiva, branqueamento, peculato e falsificação, encontra-se em fase de instrução.

E é a esta fase que voltou, entretanto, a Operação Marquês, que tem como principal arguido o ex-primeiro-ministro José Sócrates. .

Segundo fonte judicial, o juiz desembargador Ivo Rosa, que assinou a decisão instrutória de abril de 2021, poderá ter de refazer a decisão da pronúncia pelos três crimes de branqueamento e três de falsificação do ex-governante, existindo ainda recursos e reclamações sobre a decisão da Relação de Lisboa relativamente à não pronúncia, que em janeiro determinou a ida a julgamento de um total de 22 arguidos por um total de 118 crimes.

Já a Operação Lex, no qual estão em causa corrupção e outros crimes e que tem como arguidos o ex-juiz desembargador Rui Rangel, o antigo presidente da Relação Vaz das Neves, ou o ex-presidente do Benfica Luís Filipe Vieira, entre outros acusados, continua a aguardar data para começar o julgamento no Supremo Tribunal de Justiça, devido à apresentação de recursos. .

Além dos julgamentos e inquéritos sobre casos mediáticos, o regresso destas férias judiciais vai contar também até meados de outubro com o anúncio de um novo procurador-geral da República, uma vez que Lucília Gago já manifestou a sua vontade de não continuar no cargo.
