Listen/purchase: The Olive Tape

The Olive Tape is a collection of new, exclusive songs & poems by 24 artists, compiled to raise funds for humanitarian aid in Palestine.

All proceeds will go to the PCRF and Anera. As of this moment, the IOF’s current assault on Rafah leaves a staggering population of over a million Palestinians trapped with nowhere to go. There’s never been a better time to give your support to notable foundations with proven track records in the area.

This tape was produced by a group of artists who care deeply and some of whom are tied personally to the occupation of Palestine.

If you have the time, at least listen give it a listen.

西方記者辛苦耕耘六十年，今日繞回改革前?

在毛時代，西方記者有關中國的報導,一般都不能發自中國。他們身在海外，尤其在香港。工作方法主要是讀北京發出來的官方報道的英文翻譯，再加點自己的分析，很難深入，只能反映中共自己願意說的政治表層。唯一的例外是一位匈牙利老傳教士，拉達尼神父(Father Laszlo Ladany)。他中文好，頭腦靈，能「倒著讀」官方媒體，歸納出���些較深入的消息。比如看到這麽一條消息：「英勇的解放軍戰士在合肥附近搶救13名煤礦工人」，拉達尼就知道在合肥附近大概發生過可怕的大規模礦山災難。拉達尼從1953年到1982年出版定期刊物「中國新聞分析」（China News Analysis）。 西方學者的情況與記者差不多，只能遠距離看中國。我1966年春天在哈佛大學跟傅高義（Ezra…

THE LIFE LIST (2025)

Starring Sofia Carson, Kyle Allen, Connie Britton, Sebastian de Souza, José Zúñiga, Jordi Mollà, Dario Ladani-Sanchez, Federico Rodriguez, Marianne Rendón, Michael Rowland, Chelsea Frei, Rachel Zeiger-Haag, Luca Padovan, Maria Jung, Donnetta Lavinia Grays, Jonathan Lipnick, Ben Warheit, Mary Joy, Shannon Barnes and Patrick Ewing.

Screenplay by Adam Brooks.

Directed by Adam Brooks.

Distributed by Netflix. 125 minutes. Rated PG-13.

For a film which tries to convey some really deep emotional and humane lessons, The Life List is swimming in relatively shallow waters. This is not to say that the film isn’t relatively enjoyable, sort of in a cheesy Lifetime movie sort of way. It is just an acknowledgement that The Life List is not nearly as important or relevant as it thinks it is.

Sofia Carson is charming as Alex, a young woman who is sort of loafing through her life, working at her mom’s huge cosmetics business and living with a guy who she kind of likes, but is not exactly sold on. When her mother (Connie Britton) is diagnosed with cancer, Alex drops everything to care for her. However, when mom dies, her will cuts Alex out of the business for her sister-in-law – which Alex expected to take over – and even fires her from Alex current job.

The will suggests that Alex’ inheritance is on hold for one year. Through a series of home-taped DVD’s, mom reminds Alex of a “life list” she had made up when she was only 13 of the things she wanted to achieve. Even though she has changed a lot in the 17 or so years since she made up the list, mom feels that Alex has lost her sense of adventure, motivation and wonder.

Therefore, in order to get her part of the inheritance, Alex has the year to live out all of the wishes she made on her list all those years ago. Some of those goals are relatively simple – finish reading Moby Dick, learn to play “Claire de Lune” on the piano and to camp outside in a tent. Others are more problematic – to mend fences with her estranged father, to become a teacher and to find true love. Each time she achieves one of the things on the list, she receives another disk from her mom’s lawyer, with mom cheerleading her through from beyond the grave.

First of all, it must be nice to be rich enough to be able to basically take a year off to try to find your bliss. Most of us have to worry about stuff like rent, utilities, groceries, etc., but none of these things seem to be a concern for Alex and her large, sweet but dysfunctional family. Alex lives in a large, funky Brooklyn apartment [well, at least large for Brooklyn], and is able to eat well, take on a volunteer job and change her schedule on a whim when her quest requires.

The whole time, she insists that she isn’t doing it for the money. Right. That is obviously the answer of someone who has never in her life felt the need for basic necessities.

But, okay, Alex is rich enough to do this. That is the basic concept of the movie, so let’s allow The Life List its central conceit. Assuming Alex can afford all this, does the story work?

Basically the film sort flips back and forth between two storylines. One has Alex dealing with her grief on losing her mother, trying to deal with semi-complicated relationships with her family and friends and trying to regain her sense of wonder. At the same time, she must decide between the three men in her life – her original boyfriend Finn (Michael Rowland), a cute British teacher named Garrett (Sebastian de Souza) who works at the school she volunteers at and her new friend, her mom’s lawyer Brad (Kyle Allen).

Honestly, the life lessons sections of the film are more intriguing than the love triangle bits (one of the guys is dispatched rather early on and there is little doubt which of the other two she will end up with). None of it is really nearly as earth-shaking as the filmmakers want us to believe but taking it all in at The Life List’s level, it makes for a nice enough viewing experience.

I can pretty safely say that no one will put watching The Life List on their own personal life lists. However, if you are looking for a charming, fun and non-challenging viewing experience when scrolling through Netflix titles, you can do a lot worse.

Munich Games Massacre

The Munich Games marked the first return of the Olympics to a German city since the 1936 Games in Berlin. Adolf Hitler’s use of those Games as a platform for the propagation of Nazi ideology was roundly criticized, as was the blatant racism and anti-Semitism that characterized the Games. The West German invitation had been extended, in part at least, to offer the world a contrast to the horrifying spectacle of Berlin.

For more than a week, the Games unfolded without incident. The day of terror began at 4:30 AM on September 5, 1972, when eight Palestinian militants affiliated with Black September—a militant offshoot of the Palestinian group Fatah—scaled a fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich. Disguised as athletes and using stolen keys, they forced their way into the quarters of the Israeli Olympic team at 31 Connollystrasse. As they attempted to enter Apartment 1, they were confronted by Yossef Gutfreund, a wrestling referee, and Moshe Weinberg, a wrestling coach. Weinberg was shot while fighting with the attackers, who forced him at gunpoint to lead them to the rooms of the remaining Israeli coaches and athletes. It has been proposed that Weinberg led the attackers past Apartment 2—which was also being used by the Israeli team—because he believed that the wrestlers and weightlifters in Apartment 3 would be better able to fight back. However, Black September had detailed plans of the Olympic Village and the dispositions of the Israeli athletes. Shaul Ladany, a race walker who survived the attack after escaping from Apartment 2, suggested that it was much more likely that his room was bypassed because he was housed with members of the Israeli shooting team. The terrorists had struggled to subdue the unarmed men in Apartment 1; it is unlikely that they had wished to engage in a close-quarters gun battle with world-class marksmen in the opening minutes of their operation.

In Apartment 3 the terrorists gathered more hostages and forced them back to Apartment 1. Wrestler Gad Tsabari broke from the group and dashed down a flight of stairs toward an underground parking garage, and Weinberg took advantage of the confusion to again fight the attackers. Weinberg had nearly gained control of a terrorist’s gun when he was shot and killed. Despite being on crutches due to an injury during competition, Yossef Romano, a weightlifter, also made an attempt to disarm one of the terrorists. Romano was killed and his mutilated body was left on the floor of Apartment 1 as a warning. While two Israelis lay dead in the Olympic Village and nine others were being held hostage, International Olympic Committee (IOC) chairman Avery Brundage insisted that the games continue. The terrorists demanded the liberation of more than 200 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, the release of Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof of the Red Army Faction from German prisons, and the provision of an airplane to fly them to a safe destination in the Middle East. While negotiations were ongoing, a planned rescue attempt had to be called off when it was realized that actions of West German police were being broadcast live to nearly 1 billion people around the world and to the many televisions throughout the Olympic Village. At about 10:00 PM on September 5, believing they had reached an agreement, the terrorists led their bound and blindfolded hostages from their quarters into buses that transported them to waiting helicopters.

The helicopters carried them to Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base, 15 miles (25 km) west of the Olympic Village, where police were lying in ambush. Although the German army had better training and equipment for such a mission, under West Germany’s postwar constitution, the armed forces were forbidden from aiding the civilian police. The police snipers used in the operation had not received formal training as sharpshooters, they were improperly placed and inadequate in number, and they lacked radios to communicate with each other or with commanders. In addition, they were armed with assault rifles rather than sniper rifles, and their weapons had neither long-range scopes nor night-vision capability. On the air base tarmac was a Boeing 727 filled with 17 police officers disguised as a Lufthansa flight crew. It was intended that these officers would subdue the terrorists once they had boarded the plane, but the police unanimously chose to abandon their posts. Armoured cars that were to have aided in the rescue of the Israelis were dispatched too late and became stuck in traffic. With myriad failures in both planning and execution, the result was a disaster on virtually every level.

The helicopters arrived about 10:30 PM, and two terrorists went to inspect the jetliner. Finding it empty and becoming aware of the deception, they shouted to their comrades, at which point West German police fired upon them. A gun battle ensued, and several terrorists and one police officer were killed. The helicopter flight crews ran for cover, but the Israeli athletes were bound together and trapped. After the initial fusillade, in which the terrorists also shot out the floodlights that had been illuminating the tarmac, the scene settled into a tense stalemate punctuated by sporadic gunfire. Onlookers surrounded the airfield, and sportscaster Jim McKay, who was anchoring Olympic coverage for the U.S. network ABC, provided television viewers with preliminary updates. At midnight, a German official announced that all the hostages had been freed and all the terrorists had been killed, a report that proved to be tragically premature. Just after midnight, a terrorist tossed a hand grenade into one of the helicopters, killing all but one of the Israeli hostages aboard; David Berger, an American-born wrestler, succumbed to smoke inhalation before rescue personnel could reach him. A second terrorist sprayed the interior of the other helicopter with bullets at close range, murdering the five remaining Israelis.

Too late to aid in the rescue effort, the armoured cars finally reached the runway, but their crews had no knowledge of the deployment of police personnel in the field and no way to communicate with them. A gunman ran toward a position where one of the helicopter pilots and a police sniper had taken cover. The terrorist was shot and killed by the sniper, but the movement on the darkened runway drew fire from one of the armoured cars, and both the pilot and sniper were seriously wounded by friendly fire. By 12:30 AM on September 6, the shooting had stopped, and the 20-hour reign of terror was over. Eleven Israelis had been killed, along with one Munich policeman, and five Black September terrorists lay dead. Three of the gunmen were captured. At 3:00 AM McKay, who had been broadcasting from the Olympic Village for 14 straight hours, summarized the tragic outcome of the botched rescue with the words “They’re all gone.” For the first time in history, the Olympic Games were suspended, for 24 hours, in tribute to the murdered athletes.
