JEDNA OD NOĆI U KOJOJ SE NISAM UBIO

Plesala si onog dana kad si spasila moje teorijske anđele te kćeri nove srednje klase s tvojim ustima B. Bardot Samo naprijed drage moje jer filmovi su stvarnost Ja sam izgubljeni pjevač sladunjavih nota čija smrt se u magli tvojih novih čizama s visokom petom zdrobila u opuške cigareta Šetao sam lukom večeras u potrazi za vodenom masom od 25 centi ali noćas ću spavati s tvojim podvezicama zgužvanim u mojim cipelama poput dugi na praznicima gdje tvoja nedužnost poput popravnog ispita upravlja grobljima kondoma Vjerujem vjerujem da četvrtak 12. prosinca nije ta noć Opet ću dakle ljubiti brijeg kakve sise; onu malu bradavicu što mi strši nad licem kao sunce na zalazu.

-Leonard Koen

My sibling names Tatort/Polizeiruf characters

AN: My sibling does not speak German so these are largely Belgian names. Most of them fit surprisingly well though imho.

Name: Koen

Additional Comment: He looks like he drives a box bike.

(Peter Faber - Tatort Dortmund)

2. Name: Dimitri. People would call him Dimi.

Additional Comment: He looks so tired. Like he was a school principal in a previous life.

(Alexander "Sascha" Bukow - Polizeiruf Rostock)

3. Name: Wilma.

Additional Comment: She kind of looks like a Saartje but that sounds too young so I’m calling her Wilma (?) Wilma sounds more troubled, I think it fits her.

4. Name: Stef, short for Stefan.

Additional Comment: He is very old. 

(Julia Grosz & Thorsten Falke - Tatort Hamburg & Umg.)

5. Name: Thomas.

Additional Comment: He looks like he comes from Antwerp (it’s the puffer jacket). Also his jawline is too buff for a more "twinky" name.

(Kalli Hammermann - Tatort München)

6. Name: Frank.

Additional Comment: In the left picture he looks like a mix of young and old Frank Deboosere.

7. Name: Marcel.

Additional Comment: He’s the kind of guy you’d meet in some café in the Dansaert quarter in the eighties going for drinks with his mates. Love the curls.

(Ivo Batic & Franz Leitmayr - Tatort München)

8. Name: Leo, short for Leonard.

Additional Comment: He looks like my philosophy teacher but not depressed.

(Felix Stark - Tatort Berlin)

9. Name: Camille.

Additional Comment: She looks like she shops in the Avenue Louise and comes from a good catholic family but also makes her own money. The blazer does a lot to give her that image, I think.

(Johanna Stern - Tatort Ludwigshafen)

10. Name: Daniela.

Additional Comment: She looks like professor Trelawney. I think she'd be a history teacher who makes pottery on the weekends.

(Bibi Fellner - Tatort Wien)

Belated Giro review...

Belated Giro review…

My holiday had an inconvenient side effect of taking me away from wifi and 4g for the final weekend of the 2022 Giro D’Italia. I had left for the solitude of a boat on the Norfolk broads with Richard Carapaz of Ineos looking the likely winner in Verona. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. The race had started back on 6th May in Hungary which put on its best sights and weather for the…

I wonder what Waruu’s endgame will be. One of relentless antagonism and then sacrificial redemption right at the very end? Damnit, Waruu.

Ha, Jada Alberts is associate script producer as well. What a legend.

Epic Movie (Re)Watch #157 - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Spoilers Below

Have I seen it before: Yes

Did I like it then: Yes.

Do I remember it: Yes.

Did I see it in theaters: No.

Format: Blu-ray

1) Getting any sort of footage or image before a studio logo is exceptionally rare. I appreciate that Paramount and the filmmakers decided to open the film with this dedication:

2) This is an end to a trilogy started by Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan, as it is a direct sequel to Star Trek III which was a direct sequel to Khan. Leonard Nimoy returns to direct after Star Trek III and decided to give the film a lighter tone as Star Trek was taking itself rather seriously. I think that works for this movie, but I also think the film succeeds because (out of the trilogy) it does the best of examining the crew outside of Kirk/Spock/Bones (as we shall see).

3)

Vulcan Computer [testing Spock’s recovery]: “How do you feel?”

Spock’s emotional arc - though it becomes more subtle as the film progresses - is a nice touch. The dude DIED. He’s not just going to walk away from that scot free. He’s Vulcan, so his intellect has been largely focused on. But it is his emotional recovery - getting in touch with his human side - which carries the Vulcan through this film. And I think it works wonderfully.

4) The noise the alien probe emits has a wonderfully ominous design to it. It is effective and makes you uncomfortable. You know something is up.

The entire idea of a mysterious alien probe with unknown intentions which is creating death and destruction (seemingly involuntarily) is very compelling to me. It is an idea in the same essence of “The Twilight Zone” or even something HG Welles would write. Mysterious, frightening, foreboding, and interesting.

5) This is the last film appearance of Lt. Saavik.

According to IMDb:

A scene written for but cut from the film explained why Saavik stays on Vulcan: she is pregnant with Spock's child, stemming from an event in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), when she "treated" the young Spock's pon farr. This was the character's final appearance in a Star Trek film.

I’m a little disappointed that Saavik was just kind of dropped. Apparently Nimoy and writer/producer Harve Bennett couldn’t think of anything for her to do in the 20th century, but this was an incredibly interesting and fun character from Wrath of Khan who just lost steam and disappeared. Ah well.

6)

Bones [after Kirk says Spock will recover alright]: “Are you sure? [Beat. Kirk is silent.] That’s what I thought.”

Neither of them are sure if they’re going to get their friend back, but they have to trust him. They have to try. Bones even later tries to strike up a conversation with Spock, checking him both as a doctor and as his friend. These small bits of concern are neatly effective in portraying the conflict Spock (and, in all honesty, the crew) is going through with his emotional recovery.

7) I love this line.

Spock: “There are other forms of intelligence on Earth, doctor. Only human arrogance would assume that [the probe] MUST be meant for man.”

8) So Kirk and the crew end up time traveling to the late 20th century in order to find some humpback wales and save earth from this probe. But here’s the thing: they’re never asked to do that. Quite the contrary, they’re being court martialed. They could spend the rest of their lives in jail. They have the perfect opportunity to escape and live the rest of their lives. But it is at the expense of the human race. It never even crosses their minds to run away. To not help. They take some seriously big risks for people who may jail them forever and without even a second thought. If that doesn’t speak to the character of these characters I don’t know what does.

9) I’ve never watched the original series of “Star Trek” but I know they time travelled before (at least once, maybe more; again I never watched). So I’m glad they include this line.

Kirk [about time travel]: “We’ve done it before.”

10) Man, these time travel effects are trippy. I love it.

11)

Kirk [about 1986 Earthlings]: “This is an extremely primitive and paranoid culture.”

This has always fucking bugged me in the “Star Trek” universe, although it might just be a personal thing. Yes, the human race as a whole can tend to suck. But why define us by the worst of our elements? Isn’t that just a loud minority? Why not remember the good in history. “This is an extremely primitive and paranoid culture.” What about the people on the Challenger who you dedicated to this film? They weren’t primitive or paranoid? What about people who fight for Civil Rights, Gay Rights, and other social justice movements? Why would we let the worst of humanity define us? I mean really? REALLY!?

Okay I’m done.

12) Leonard Nimoy said he wanted this film to have be lighter and boy is it that. This is by far the funniest Star Trek film ever made. Like, I don’t even know hot to properly communicate how funny it is. Here are some early examples of humor in the film:

Kirk [walking away from an invisible space ship he left in Golden Gate Park]: “Everyone remember where we parked.”

Pawn Broker [about Kirk’s glasses, when they need money]: “I’ll give you $100.”

Kirk [after a beat]: “Is that a lot?”

[Kirk and Spock get on a bus only to immediately walk off of it.]

Spock: “What does it mean, exact change?”

The time travel and 80s setting allow for some fish out of water comedy which is the film’s best feature in my opinion. There are so many brilliant and honest jokes derived from these characters. No one ever acts contrary to who they are. They’re them! They’re the best crew Star Fleet has ever had! But in the 80s...

(GIF originally posted by @andurile)

13) Gillian.

Gillian is a very important and very well done character in the film. She is the outsider. Our tether to reality and a key component to saving the whales (because, again, this is the Star Trek movie where they save the whales). She is unique unto herself, not JUST a plot device and I don’t think even someone for Kirk to get together with (I don’t remember if they kiss or not, but I don’t think so). She is passionate, empathetic and has genuine care for the animals under her care. A great character who I think the film is better off for having.

14)

Kirk [after Spock called him Admiral]: “Jim. You used to call me Jim.”

Kirk is obviously getting frustrated with Spock’s lack of emotional development. He went to hell and back, sacrificed his career and his future, all to save his friend. And now his friend isn’t totally back yet. It hardly leads to a big climactic fight but it is an undercurrent of the film which keeps rearing its head in important and compelling ways.

15) I love this line.

Spock [about whaling]: “To hunt a species to extinction is not logical.”

Gillian: “Whoever said the human race was logical?”

16) Honestly, the way Kirk reacts when he sees that Spock has dived into a tank with two whales in full view of everyone is my reaction too.

17) A little thing that bothers me in this film is when Gillian’s coworker calls her kiddo. He seems to be the same age as her and not her superior in anyway, so what is this demeaning bullshit?

18) Remember how I said this film was hysterical?

I think the pairings of Bones/Scotty and Uhura/Chekov are quite interesting. Even if we don’t get a deep examination of those relationships it’s pairings we haven’t really seen on their own before and which do show us just how comfortable everyone is around each other.

19) I love how Kirk just tells Gillian the truth. Yes he was massively bullshitting her for about twenty minutes but he just sort of lays it all out on the table at the end.

(Screencap originally posted by @icheb-of-nine)

And Gillian doesn’t get angry at this seeming insult of her intelligence and storm off like the cliché is. She obviously doesn’t believe Kirk but she roles with it anyway. Figures what the hell, and it pays off later.

20)

Kirk [to Spock, after he learns they might lose the whales and the earth could be doomed]: “You’re half human. Haven’t you got any goddamn feelings about that!?”

This is sort of the peak of Kirk’s frustrations with Spock. Again it plays out more as a subplot throughout the film but one which gives it heart and warmth. It is after this that Spock sort of starts getting it together.

21) Chekov and the navy is fun (although I don’t like their use of the word, “retard,” in the scene). It showcases the film’s humor beautifully AND allows actor Walter Koening to truly shine.

22) And THIS is the culmination of Spock’s emotional arc (or at least the earliest example of it):

Spock: “We must help Chekov.”

Kirk: “Is that the logical thing to do, Spock?”

Spock: “No, but it is the human thing to do.”

23) I LOVE Bones in the hospital!

He regrows a woman’s kidney with a pill! First and foremost Bones is a doctor and he will be a doctor no matter where he is or who the patient is. I think it’s great that they actually take this into consideration with his actions.

24) The entire scene where the former-crew of Enterprise (as they are on a Klingon ship now) rescue the whales is great. It is incredibly tense and conflict filled, packed with surprises (such as the ship saving the whales from the whalers while cloaked). All in all, a great climax.

25) This was James Doohan’s favorite line as Scotty.

26) I love how Kirk’s “punishment” is to demote him from Admiral to Captain (which is something he wanted all along and which everyone knows).

27)

Kirk [after Gillian says she’s on a different starship]: “Why does it have to be goodbye?”

Because this series rarely brings back female characters introduced in the movies, it seems. (I’m thinking mainly of Carol Marcus.)

28)

Spock [after his father asks if there’s anything he wants his mom to know]: “Yes. Tell her...I feel fine.”

And with that Spock’s emotional journey is complete.

29) And the crew is returned to a recommissioned Enterprise. They are home (see title) and this trilogy is complete.

I wildly enjoy Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You wouldn’t think a Star Trek film where they save the whales would work but it does. The lightened tone is well appreciated as is the choice to focus more on the crew of the enterprise. The humor is phenomenal, the message is heartwarming, and it is just a feel good film all around. A wonderful treat for fans old and new.

KOJI SVE IMAM

Plašiš se da ću te ostaviti. Neću te ostaviti. Samo stranci putuju. Ja koji sve imam, nemam kamo otići.

Fun Fact 1071-D

Chekov's hair on Star Trek: tos is actually inspired by the Beatles. This was decided before casting him and Gene Roddenberry actually made sure the wig would look good on Walter Koening.

Because I have a history of playing true or fake fact roulette on this blog I'm including a Leonard Nimoy quote from when Koening got his Hollywood star:

"At the time our major adversaries were the Russians and it was decided for the sake of showing a positive aspect of the future it would be a good thing to have a Russian on board. Also at the same time the Beatles were a big deal and they had these interesting hair cuts and someone said 'maybe we will pick up a bit of the Beatles audience we should put a Beatle wig on him.'"

Ivan Žikić : prevodilac pravih filmova

Tražeći neke filmove na netu , primetio sam jedan pseudonim koji se često pominje kad je reč o prevodima na srpski jezik.U pitanju je bio pseudonim “ivannis“.Kvaliteni i pre svega, elokventni prevodi, bili su sinonim za ovog prevodioca.Pošto sam bio uporan ,našao sam ime i prezime koje se kriju iza ovog pseudonima i stupio u kontakt sa čovekom koji se zove Ivan Žikić i dolazi iz Niša.Ovo je deo…

"Wabi-Sabi"

Within wabi-sabi, imperfection itself becomes an aesthetic model, a goal to be achieved. Calligraphers and painters live in a world where brush strokes are practiced until they are perfectly imperfect, until paint spatters bounce in irreducible and unknown ways. Ryotaro Matsumura described wabi-sabi as “not a full moon, but a moon covered behind clouds; not new, symmetric objects, but old, asymmetric objects”. The same sort of beauty found in a broken teapot repaired with kintsugi can be found in a face, can be found in a mountain’s valley. Something about imperfection is just so...human. Accidents can be joyous occasions, can send you down a path that never would have been possible if things had worked out perfectly. Leonard Koen writes that wabi-sabi is not just about the imperfect, but also about the impermanent and incomplete. Zen Buddhism says something similar, pointing toward a circular conception of time, and the continuous flux of all objects and people. If perfection is anything to the Buddhists, it’s a moment.

Nisam se ubio

Kada su stvari krenule loše

Nisam se odao

drogama ili učenjima

Pokušao sam da spavam

ali kad nisam mogao da zaspim

Učio sam da pišem

Što bi mogao da čita

U noćima kao što je ova

Čovek kao što sam ja

In Tokyo, museums and galleries often hold exhibitions of international arts.  For example, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno now exhibits paintings of Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita.  He was a Japanese-French painter of École de Paris.  The poster of this exhibition used one of his famous paintings,  “Cafe” which now belongs to Centre George Pompidou.

“Cafe” by Tsuguharu Foujita

  The Exhibition of Foujita

Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

This museum is famous for the architecture itself, too.  The current building, built in 1975 is a great masterpiece of Kunio Maekawa.  He was an apprentice of the world renowned architect, Le Corbusier.  The modern facade of the museum is quite photogenic.

The current building of Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum was designed by Kunio Maekawa, the apprentice of Le Corbusier.

The atmosphere of the architecture definitely reminds me of the building of the National Museum of Western Art.  Le Corbusier designed this museum and Kunio Maekawa completed it.

  The Future International Art Exhibition

Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum often holds international art exhibitions.  The exhibition of Foujita is until 8 October but new exhibitions are coming soon.  Here are the brochures I got at the Museum.

“MUNCH A Retrospective” at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

“Lineage of Eccentrics: the Miraculous World of Edo Painting” at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

“GUSTAV KLIMT Vienna-Japan 1900” at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

The exhibition of Munch, a Swedish painter starts from the end of October.  Next year from February, they will have an exhibition of Jakuchu Ito, a Japanese ukiyoe painter.  Then comes Klimt, an Austrial painter.  When you are in Tokyo, check what they exhibit at the museums.  They always have something interesting.

  More International Arts in Ueno

Ueno is a cultural districts with many museums.  Another famous museum is Tokyo National Museum.

When I was small, I remember they exhibited only ancient arts such as Egyptian mummies, Greek vases, Japanese Buddhas and armours.  They still have those exhibits but today, they also show modern arts.

At present, they have a special exhibition of Marcel Duchamp, a French-American painter, sculptor, chess player, and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, conceptual art, and Dada (source: Wikipedia).

“MARCEL DUCHAMP and JAPANESE ART” at Tokyo National Museum

The architecture of Tokyo National Museum is also quite beautiful.

International Arts in Le Corbusier’s Museum

As I explained above, it was Le Corbusier who designed the National Museum of Western Art.  And in 2016, UNESCO added 17 sites of Le Corbusier’s projects around the world to the list of World Heritage and this museum is among them.

The majority of the art pieces in this museum belongs to Matsukata Collection.  Kojiro Matsukata was a business person who earned profit in maritime industry.  During 1910s and 1920s, he collected western arts.  Unfortunately a large part of his collection was sold during the financial crisis in late 1920s and 1930s or destroyed by fire.  But some of the art works remained.and after the World War II, the French government condemned the collection. The international arts collected by Matsukata experienced dramatic destiny and they finally came back to Japan and settled in this museum in 1959.  It was based on the request of French government to build a museum to store the collection properly.

Next hear, the National Museum of Western Art will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Matsukata Collection.  They have famous paintings of Monet, Gogh and other Impressionists.
