Marika Green and Martin LaSalle in Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959)

Cast: Martin LaSalle, Marika Green, Jean Pélégri, Dolly Scal, Pierre Leymarie, Kassagi, Pierre Étaix, César Gattegno. Screenplay: Robert Bresson. Cinematography: Léonce-Henry Burel. Production design: Pierre Charbonnier. Film editing: Raymond Lamy.

As usual, Robert Bresson casts an unknown actor in the central role of his film Pickpocket. Martin LaSalle, as Michel, the titular thief, has the haunted look of the young Henry Fonda or Montgomery Clift -- a look, incidentally, that Alfred Hitchcock used to great effect when he featured those actors in two of his lesser-known films, Fonda in The Wrong Man (1956) and Clift in I Confess (1953). Pickpocket also contains a justly celebrated sequence demonstrating the thieves at work, a showcase for the work of Bresson's editor, Raymond Lamy. I think my mild dissatisfaction with the film lies in Bresson's imposing his material on the structure of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Like Raskolnikov, Michel lives in a cramped little garret room, meditates on the potential for a man of superior intellect to move beyond good and evil, commits a crime (though picking pockets is a good deal less evil than murdering an old woman) from which he refuses to benefit materially, gets caught, and is redeemed by his love for a "fallen woman," Jeanne (Marika Green), the film's equivalent to Dostoevsky's Sonya. The effect of all this is to make me wish that Bresson had simply decided to film Crime and Punishment. Lurking in the background as well are the existentialist novels of Camus and Sartre, which were much in vogue at the time.

Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon (1973)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Anyone who sits down and excitedly wonders what horrors await inside Dr. Tarr’s Torture Dungeon will be disappointed. The alternate title of The Mansion of Madness is far more suitable and more properly sets you up for a film that remains lackluster regardless of what you call it. This movie’s plot is too obvious and too badly written for you to care what happens in the end.

Reporter Gaston LeBlanc (Arthur Hansel) is writing an article about famed psychologist Dr. Maillard (Claudio Brook). Arriving at Maillard's asylum, LeBlanc finds the doctor’s methods unorthodox to say the least. Captivated by the beautiul Eugénie (Ellen Sherman), LeBlanc fails to realize the inmates are in charge of the facility.

Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's darkly comedic The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, the film has a good premise. Imagine visiting a place only to discover that the patients have taken over. You're surrounded by madmen and can't escape. That's scary. To make it work, you need two things. First, a slow-boil plot. If everyone comes out of the gates raving like lunatics, you’ll figure out the whole thing immediately. Second, you need an intelligent protagonist. If you want to make the audience laugh, they should be dumb but if your goal is to scare, Gaston needs to be sharp. Once the deception is revealed, he needs to fake his way through this ordeal and exploit every means of escape possible. That’s what the audience will be doing mentally. Unfortunately, director Juan López Moctezuma fails to do either.

The Mansion of Madness a.k.a. House of Madness a.k.a. Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon does nothing clever or new with its concept. As Gaston approaches the sanitarium, the friends traveling with him suddenly have to cut their journey short. Obviously. If they stuck around, they'd reveal that the man in charge of the asylum isn't Dr. Maillard at all. They're useless until captured by the lunatics. At this point, they become worse than useless and star in a subplot that has no impact on the main story, whatsoever. They prove that all of the sane people in this movie are complete idiots. At one point, one of them escapes. The man’s all tied up and hopping around in the middle of the forest, trying to elude the insane rapists who roam the grounds surrounding the mental institution. He should look for a way to untie himself. Instead, he screams for help, practically begging to be recaptured. Here's a free lesson for all the screenwriters out there: audiences want to see a part of themselves in the on-screen characters. Having them behave like they have no sense of self-preservation is a surefire way to make everyone hate your movie.

That subplot is ultimately nothing more than padding and it’s not the only example of director Juan López Moctezuma struggling to find a way to make his movie feature-length. At one point, Eugénie and Gaston become romantically involved. So involved they profess their love to each other. They’ve exchanged fewer than 5 lines of dialogue. It’s ludicrous and another reason for you to dismiss the movie entirely. It doesn't stop there: unnecessary bits of backstory, garish opening credits, unbelievable behavior from our heroes, mountains of coincidences, and so on and so forth. Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon is a complete misstep any way you look at it. (English version, January 15, 2021)

"Dugin merece crédito por ter levado para a Rússia, ou melhor, para a cultura acadêmica e popular russa, autores profundamente ocidentais e considerados 'indesejáveis' pelo então regime soviético nos anos anteriores, pensadores de vários tipos que se tornaram pontos de referência para ele em sua formação filosófica e política: da Alemanha, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Hegel, Ferdinand Lasalle, Ernst Jünger, Ernst Niekisch, Oswald Spengler; do Reino Unido, Halford Mackinder; da França, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Alain De Benoist, Georges Sorel, Marcel Mauss, Serge Letouche, Roger Garaudy, Christian Jambet, Jean-Claude Michéa, René Guenon; do Brasil, Darcy Ribeiro; da Romênia, Mircea Eliade; da Itália, Nicola Bombacci, Antonio Gramsci, Curzio Malaparte, Julius Evola, Costanzo Preve, Massimo Cacciari, Giorgio Agamben, Diego Fusaro. Essa lista ampla, embora incompleta, de pensadores das mais diversas épocas, geografias e orientações era quase estranha ao mundo russo da produção cultural devido ao filtro ideológico imposto pela União Soviética, deixando inacabado o trabalho de metabolização, interpretação e comparação que pertence a toda cultura, especialmente no mundo globalizado". - Lorenzo Maria Pacini (Dugin e Platão)

Those were the days: In 1975, Norman Lear created the character of Beverly LaSalle (played by San Francisco performer Lori Shannon, née Don Seymour McLean). Appearing in a trilogy of "All In The Family" episodes, Beverly proved to be a formidable foil to lovable bigot Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) and a dear friend to his just-plain-lovable wife Edith (Jean Stapleton). In her final appearance in 1977, Beverly's senseless murder inspires a crisis of faith in Edith.

Post 0596

Michael S Swift, Illinois inmate Y52996, born 1991, incarceration intake in 2022 at age 30, scheduled for parole consideration 07/19/2095, with full release 07/19/2098

Murder, Solicitation to Murder

In July 2022, a Mokena, Illinois man accused of stabbing 21-year old Grace Taylor of Ottawa to death pleaded guilty. 30-year old Michael Swift was sentenced to 53-years in prison. LaSalle County State’s Attorney Todd Martin says Swift confessed to Ottawa Detective Sgt. Kyle Booras that he killed Taylor out of jealousy or anger. He says Swift entered Taylor’s south side Ottawa apartment through an unlocked door and stabbed her in her bedroom with a knife he owned. The knife was later found in a trash can at the apartment. Swift apologized to the family of Taylor who were in the courtroom before he was sentenced.

Martin also says a family member called 911 after Swift confessed that he killed Taylor to them. During a search of Swift’s apartment a box that held the knife that he used was found as well as Taylor’s bloody socks. Martin says he is very satisfied with the outcome because he was unsure if he would have gotten a better sentence if the case went to trial. Four other charges in the murder case were dropped.

In August 2022, Swift pleaded guilty to two counts of trying to hire a hit man to kill a LaSalle County Sheriff's Deputy and a LaSalle County judge.

As part of his plea, Swift was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He'll have to serve at least 85 percent of the sentence. His new 25 year sentence will be added to his existing 53 year sentence.

LaSalle County Deputy Ray Taylor was one of Swift's murder for hire victims and is the father of Grace Taylor. He says there is no "why" for what Swift did.

Deputy Ray Taylor and his wife Ann Taylor both gave victim impact statements in court just feet away from Swift and his public defender. Both said they had never heard of Swift before the murder of their daughter.

Kendall County Assistant State's Attorney Ryan Phelps says that while Swift was being held in the Kendall County Jail in Yorkville for the Ottawa murder case, he asked a fellow inmate about hiring someone to murder a judge and Deputy Taylor in September. The other inmate reported Swift to the Kendall County Sheriff's Office which began an investigation where an undercover officer posed as a hit man and spoke to Swift. Swift offered $15,000 to the fake hit man and wanted the murders to happen in the victim's homes.

Two additional murder-for-hire counts were dropped in the plea.

He guest-starred on the CBS sitcoms Pete and Gladys, The Ann Sothern Show, and Hennesey. He also appeared in one episode of ABC's Bewitched as "Diaper Dan", who plants a microphone bug in Tabitha's rattle so a competing advertising agency can scoop and steal Darrin's ideas. He appeared twice as Sol Pomeroy, an army buddy of the character Rob Petrie, on CBS's The Dick Van Dyke Show. In 1978, Ingels guest starred in Season Two, Episode One of The Love Boat.  (Wikipedia)

John Allen Astin (born March 30, 1930) Stage, film and television actor and director who has appeared in numerous stage, television and film roles. He is best known for starring in The Addams Family (1964–1966), as patriarch Gomez Addams, reprising the role in the television film Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977) and the animated series The Addams Family (1992–1993).

Astin started in theater, making his first Broadway appearance as an understudy in Major Barbara, and also did voice-over work for commercials. His first big break in film came with a small role in West Side Story (1961).

During this period, his talent for also playing comedy was spotted by actor Tony Randall, leading to guest starring roles on the sitcom Dennis the Menace, starring Jay North; The Donna Reed Show; and Harrigan and Son, starring Pat O'Brien, the first carried on CBS and the latter two carried on ABC. In 1961, Astin appeared in the final episode of the ABC police drama The Asphalt Jungle.

During the 1962–63 television season, Astin had his first lead in a television series, the ABC sitcom I'm Dickens, He's Fenster, co-starring with Marty Ingels. Astin played Harry Dickens to Ingels's Arch Fenster, as two trouble-prone carpenters. The series combined witty dialogue with moments of slapstick comedy. I'm Dickens, He's Fenster received critical raves, but was against two high-rated shows, Sing Along with Mitch on NBC and Route 66 on CBS. By the time I'm Dickens, He's Fenster gained a following and started winning its time slot, ABC had already canceled the show. 32 episodes were produced.

Astin is perhaps best known for The Addams Family, a popular sitcom that ran on ABC from 1964 to 1966, based on cartoons created by Charles Addams. 

Astin joined the retooled The Pruitts of Southampton (re-titled The Phyllis Diller Show) for the second half of the 1966–67 season, playing Diller's brother-in-law, Angus Pruitt. He also played the Riddler in the second season of Batman (Frank Gorshin returned for the third and final season.) He played submarine commander Matthew Sherman on the 1970s television series Operation Petticoat. He also made several appearances in the first two seasons of the popular mystery series Murder, She Wrote, as scheming real estate developer (and finally Sheriff) Harry Pierce, who ends up as the murderer in his last episode.  Astin starred in the cult classic TV film Evil Roy Slade (1972).  He had a recurring role on the sitcom Night Court as Buddy, eccentric former mental patient and the father of lead character Harry Stone. Astin played the regular role of Ed LaSalle on the short-lived Mary Tyler Moore sitcom Mary during the 1985–86 television season. He also guest starred on numerous television series, including appearances on Duckman, Homeboys in Outer Space, Jack Palance's ABC circus drama The Greatest Show on Earth, and a 1967 episode of Gunsmoke as Festus Haggen's cousin Henry.
