Experiment in Terror

Maybe this dates me, but there’s something refreshing about watching a thriller with no forced romance, no jump scares, no attempts to launch a sequel and cutting that doesn’t try to give you motion sickness. Blake Edwards shot EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (1962, TCM, Tubi) in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock and classic films noirs. Its clearest Hitchcock inspiration is PSYCHO (1960). Like that film, the production derived in part from the director’s work in television, with Edwards bringing cinematographer Phillip H. Lathrop, composer Henry Mancini and several supporting players from shows like PETER GUNN. And as with much TV of the time, he shot in glorious black and white. Both also feature cross-dressing killers, but unlike the Master of Suspense, Edwards makes no attempt to explain the pathology of his psychopath, nor is there any suggestion that the cross-dressing is anything more than expedience. The character played memorably by Ross Martin may queer the staid middle-class life of bank teller Lee Remick, but only in the sense that he disrupts her safe, sanitary existence.

In this adaptation by The Gordons of one of their John Ripley novels, “Operation Terror,” Martin accosts Remick in her garage and threatens her and sister Stefanie Powers to make Remick steal $100,000 from her bank. Despite his warnings, she calls the FBI, which is where Glenn Ford enters as Agent ‘Rip’ Ripley (Broderick Crawford had played the role in an earlier film). One of the joys of EXPERIMENT IN TERROR is watching the precision of Ford and his agents as they try to determine Martin’s identity and capture him while protecting Remick (who’s pretty good at protecting herself, as it turns out) and Powers. The procedural scenes are like a more serious take on the clockwork slapstick comedy of such later Edwards films as THE PARTY (1968) and the Pink Panther films. You may find it slower than most contemporary thrillers, but it’s tremendously entertaining, and the slowness pays off in the opening scene, where Edwards holds the initial shots of Martin threatening Remick for an almost unbearable length. You can feel her terror from the sheer endurance of it all.

The cast is uniformly solid, with Martin and Remick taking the showiest roles. There are also nice turns by Ned Glass as a stoolie and Anita Loo and Patricia Huston as two of Martin’s girlfriends. If you’re a Sondheim fan, you can try to spot Harvey Evans, Young Buddy in the original FOLLIES and a Broadway mainstay. A really dedicated soap fan will know which of Tom and Alice’s two children from DAYS OF OUR LIVES turn up in the film.b

Above and Beyond comprises 58,307 dog tags. Each dog tag represents a person in the Vietnam War and is arranged in date order of death. And, each dog tag shows their name, casualty date, and military branch.

Above and Beyond was commissioned by the National Veterans Art Museum and created by artist Rick Steinbock, and veteran artists Ned Broderick, Joe Fornelli and Mike Helbing. It was originally installed at 1801 S. Indiana Ave. on May 26, 2001 to coincide with Chicago’s Memorial Day parade. Above and Beyond was created over a 2-year period as each dog tag was stamped by hand using a former military Graphotype machine.

Above and Beyond is the only memorial other than The Wall in Washington, D.C. to list all those killed in action during the Vietnam War. Additionally, it includes one black dog tag. This serves to remind us of those who died from conditions related to service during the Vietnam War.

Above and Beyond is part of the National Veterans Art Museum Collection, and is on extended exhibition at the Harold Washington Library Center--400 S. State St., Chicago, IL

My dream cast for The 39 Clues film(yes, I still have hope it's going to happen. If they change the whole DoD history it's going to be perfect):

Amy Cahill:Madeline Ford;

Dan Cahill:Froy Gutierrez(with green eyes);

Ian Kabra:Toni Mahfud(with amber eyes and darker skin);

Natalie Kabra:Diana Silvers(I know everyone wants Zendaya but for me Diana is more Natalie's style) (with amber eyes and darker skin) ;

Sinead Starling:Katherine McNamara(with blue eyes and freckles);

Ted/Ned Starling:Cameron Mitchell;

Hamilton Holt:Glenn McCuen;

Reagan Holt:Odeya Rush;

Madison Holt:Pilar Pascual;

Sophie Watson:Elle Fanning(I know she just make one little appearance on The Black Book of Buried Secrets but I loved her and her character could be more used like being Natalie's best friend, an only not payed friend she had and showing us how difficult a friendship between a Lucian and a Janus can be but they love each other so much that Natalie can even forget her ugly skirts);

Jonah Wizard:Roshon Fegan;

Phoenix Wizard:Jaden Smith(didn't find someone better);

Isabel Kabra:Angelina Jolie;

Vikram Kabra:Jesse Willians;

Cora Wizard:Rochelle Aytes;

Broderick Wizard:Blair Underwood;

Jerk(I mean Jake) Rosenbloom:Asher Book;

Atticus Rosenbloom:Tyrel Jackson Williams;

Alistair Oh:Daniel Dae Kim;

William McIntyre:Clint Eastwood;

Beatrice Cahill:Imelda Stauton;

Ensenhower Holt:Chris Hemsworth;

Mary-Todd Holt:January Jones;

Nellie Gomez:Zoe Kravitz;

Evan Tolliver:Lucas Grabeel;

Fiske Cahill:Colin Firth;

Cara Pierce:Dove Cameron;

Galt Pierce:Ross Lynch;

Sammy Mourad:Sean O'Pry;

And more...

Couples:

AMYAN!!! (Jamy it's just gross and cringe, I respect who ships I just don't understand why)

DANATALIE!!! (It would be funny seeing them fighting and pretending their love is hate and making their oldest siblings insane together)

Hamead, Nedison and Teagan(a prohibited love between Ekats and Tomas. Do I need to say more?)

Nammy(didn't find a better ship name for Sammy and Nellie):The only ship the whole fandom agrees in. Just that.

We also could have Cara and Pony(maybe?), and find someone to Evan, Jonah, Phoenix, Galt and Sophie. Jake can die and it's going to be the happiest day in my life.

peter accidentally stars in midtown’s fall musical

Tony’s worried at first

The kid has gotten really quiet during lab Thursdays

When he’s not talking about suit upgrades or the medical device Tony’s going to make him patent sometime soon, he doesn’t chatter like normal

He does mumble under his breath, though

Sometimes he’ll even hum

(the kid’s pretty good, actually)

But it’s not his usual Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen tunes

Shut up, Tony listens

A few Thursdays after Pete starts acting weird, the kid comes in late

He texts May to check on the kid when Karen tells him Spidey hasn’t gone out at all that day

“did you ask him if he has rehearsal? it’s tech week I think”

And Tony is baffled

Pete’s in band and talked about picking up choir because MJ and Ned were joining to “diversify their applications” for college

But the kid doesn’t have a band concert until December

Pete doesn’t know he knows, but Tony’s had the date marked since he hacked into Midtown’s activity calendar a few months back

As he’s about to pull up the calendar to check what’s coming up soon, Pete trips into the lab

Literally trips, the kid is so clumsy

And when Tony asks what kept him, the kid has the audacity to lie to his face

“Seriously, kid? You’re a bona fide genius and you want me to believe you needed help with robotics? And if you do need help, you know I am literally right here, right?”

Peter goes red(der)

“May mentioned rehearsal?”

Pete’s eyes go wide

“I can’t believe she told you! I told her I didn’t want to make it super public. I’m already so nervous I think I might throw up every time I’m on”

And now Tony’s confused, because he’s never been nervous about playing the clarinet or answering Decathlon questions

“And it’d be one thing if it was a character I felt like I could actually play well, but all the false bravado and the freaking costumes...I really am just baffled by the pinstripe suits, honest, Mr. Stark. If Ms. Broderick hadn’t heard me and MJ messing around, I don’t think either of us would be in the show, but now we’re the leads? She’s going to be an awesome Marion, but Harold Hill is just too much. But Ms. Broderick is so nice and everyone else in the show is working so hard, so it’s not like I can quit. Maybe I should quit. I can’t quit, right?”

Tony puts up his hands to stop the barrage of words, grin tugging at his lips

“Harold Hill, huh? You wouldn’t happen to be in a little show called The Music Man, would you, Pete?”

Is it Tony’s birthday? He didn’t think it was his birthday

Peter won’t look anywhere but the floor, but he nods

Tony texts May under the table later and gets tickets for the two of them for each night of Pete’s show

And he’s not going to lie, he came prepared to (gently) mock Pete after and record a few videos for blackmail purposes

But the kid is good

He leans over to tell May as much, and she giggles

“I may have tipped off his choir director,” she whispers

He nods slowly, impressed

“And he’s only a sophomore, so he’s a shoo-in for the next two shows,” she adds

She leans in close to whisper the next part

“Ms. Broderick is thinking of doing Hairspray”

Tony grins like the Cheshire Cat

If the kid hates Harold Hill’s getup, he can’t wait to hear his opinions on Link Larkin’s look

On #QAnon: The full text of our Buzzfeed Interview

Ryan Broderick of Buzzfeed just published an article on this #QAnon conspiracy bullshit titled It's Looking Extremely Likely That QAnon Is A Leftist Prank On Trump Supporters. The piece features quotes from an interview we gave via email. Here’s the full email exchange.

--

Can you tell me a bit about when and how your book Q was written?

We started writing Q  in the last months of 1995, when we were part of the Luther Blissett Project, a network of  activists, artists and cultural agitators who all shared the name «Luther Blissett». Luther Blissett was and still is a British public figure, a former footballer, a philanthropist. The LBP spread many mythical tales about why we chose to borrow his name, but the truth is that nobody knows.

Initially, Blissett the footballer was bemused, but then he decided to play along with us and even publicly endorsed the project. Last year, during an interview on the Italian TV, he stated that having his name adopted for the LBP was «a honour». The purpose of signing all our statements, political actions and works of art with the same moniker was to build the reputation of one open character, a sort of collective "bandit", like Ned Ludd, or Captain Swing. It was live action role playing. The LBP was huge: hundreds of people in Italy alone, dozens more in other countries. In the UK, one of the theorists and propagandists of the LBP was the novelist Stewart Home.

The LBP lasted from 1994 to 1999. The best English-language account of those five years is in Marco Deseriis' book Improper Names: Collective Pseudonyms from the Luddites to Anonymous. One of our main activities consisted of playing extremely elaborate pranks on the mainstream media. Some of them were big stunts which made us quite famous in Italy. The most complex one was played by dozens of people in the backwoods around Viterbo, a town near Rome. It lasted a year, involving Satanism, black masses, Christian anti-satanist vigilantes and so on. It was all made up: there were neither Satanists nor vigilantes, only fake pictures, strategically spread rumours and crazy communiqués, but the local and national media bought everything with no fact-checking at all, politicians jumped on the bandwagon of mass paranoia, we even managed to get footage of a (rather clumsy) satanic ritual broadcast in the national TV news, then we claimed responsibility for the whole thing and produced a huge mass of evidence. The Luther Blissett Project was also responsible for a huge grassroots counter-inquiry on cases of false child abuse allegations. We deconstructed the paedophilia scare that swiped Europe in the second half of the 1990s, and wrote a book about it. A magistrate whom we targeted in the book filed a lawsuit, as a consequence the book was impounded and disappeared from bookshops, but not from the web.

This is the context in which we wrote Q. We finished it in June 1998. It came out in March 1999 and was our final contribution to the LBP.

I've been reading up about it, and it's largely believed that it's underneath the book's narrative it works as handbook for European leftists? Is that a fair assessment? I've read that many believe the book's plot is an allegory for 70s and 80s European activists?

Although it keeps triggering many possible allegorical interpretations, we meant it as a disguised, oblique autobiography of the LBP. We often described it as Blissett's «playbook», an «operations manual» for cultural disruption.

The four authors I'm speaking to now are Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga, Federico Guglielmi and Luca Di Meo correct? The four authors of Q?

You are speaking with three of the four authors of Q, and you're speaking with a band of writers called Wu Ming, which means «Anonymous» in Chinese. In December 1999 the Luther Blissett Project committed a symbolic suicide - we called it The Seppuku - and in January 2000 we launched another project, the Wu Ming Foundation, centred around our writing and our blog, Giap. The WMF is now an even bigger network than the LBP was, and includes many collectives, projects and laboratories. Luca aka Wu Ming 3 is not a member of the band anymore, although he still collaborates with us on specific side projects. Each member of the band has a nom de plume composed of the band's name and a numeral, following the alphabetical order of our surnames, thus you're speaking to Roberto Bui aka Wu Ming 1, Giovanni Cattabriga aka Wu Ming 2 and Federico Guglielmi aka Wu Ming 4.

Can you tell me a bit about your background before the Luther Blissett project?

Before the LBP we were part of a national scene that was – and still is – called simply «il movimento», a galaxy of occupied social centres, squats, independent radio stations, small record labels, alternative bookshops, student collectives, radical trade unions, etc. In the Italian radical tradition, at least after the Sixties, there was never any clearcut separation between the counterculture and more political milieux. Most of us came from left-wing family backgrounds, had roots in the working class. Punk rock opened our minds during our teenage years, then in the late 1980s and early 1990s Cyberpunk opened them even more, and inspired new practices.

When did you start noticing similarities between Q and QAnon? I know you've tweeted a bit about this, but I'd love to get as many details as I can. I feel like the details around QAnon are so sketchy that it's important to lock in as much as I can here.

We read a lot about the US alt-right, books such as Elizabeth Sandifer's Neoreaction a Basilisk or Angela Nagle's – flawed but still useful – Kill All Normies, and yet we didn't see the QAnon thing coming. We didn't know it was growing on 4chan and some specific subReddits. About six weeks ago, on June 12th, our old pal Florian Cramer – a fellow veteran of the LBP who now teaches at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam – sent us a short email. Here's the text:

«It seems as if somebody took Luther Blissett's playbook and turned it into an Alt-Right conspiracy lore. Maybe Wu Ming should write a new article: "How Luther Blissett brought down Roseanne Barr"!»,

After those sentences there was a link to a piece by Justin Caffier on Vice. We read it, and briefly commented on Twitter, then in the following weeks more and more people got in touch with us, many of them Europeans living in the US. They all wanted to draw our attention on the QAnon phenomenon. To anyone who had read our novel, the similarities were obvious, to the extent that all these people were puzzled seeing that no US pundit or scholar was citing the book.

Have there been key moments for you that made you feel like QAnon is an homage to Q? What has lined up the best?

Coincidences are hard to ignore: dispatches signed Q allegedly coming from some dark meanders of top state power, exactly like in our book. This Q is frequently described as a Blissett-like collective character, «an entity of about ten people that have high security clearance», and at the same time – like we did for the LBP – weird "origin myths" are put into circulation, like the one about John Kennedy Jr. faking his own death in 1999 – the year Q was first published, by the way! – and becoming Q. QAnon's psy-op reminds very much of our old «playbook», and the metaconspiracy seems to draw from the LBP's set of references, as it involves the Church, satanic rituals, paedophilia...

We can't say for sure that it's an homage, but one thing is almost certain: our book has something to do with it. It may have started as some sort of, er, "fan fiction" inspired by our novel, and then quickly became something else.

There will be a lot of skepticism I think that an American political movement like QAnon could have been influenced by an Italian novel, how do you think it may have happened?

It's an Italian novel in the sense that it was originally written in Italian by Italian authors, but in the past (nearly) 20 years it has become a global novel. It was translated into fifteen languages – including Korean, Japanese, Russian, Turkish – and published in about thirty countries. It was successful all across Europe and in the English speaking world with the exception of the US, where it got bad reviews, sold poorly and circulated almost exclusively in activist circles.

Q was published in Italian a few months before the so-called "Battle of Seattle", and published in several other languages in the 2000-2001 period. It became a sort of night-table book for that generation of activists, the one that would be savagely beaten up by an army of cops during the G8 summit in Genoa, July 2001. In 2008 we wrote a short essay, almost a memoir, on our participation to those struggles and Q's influence in those years, titled Spectres of Müntzer at Sunrise. A copy of Q's Spanish edition even ended up in the hands of subcomandante Marcos. It isn't at all unrealistic to imagine that it may have inspired the people who started QAnon.

Have you seen anything in the QAnon posts that leads you to suspect any activist group in particular is behind it?

No, we haven't.

You think QAnon is a prank? Without some kind of reveal it's obviously hard to see it as that. If you think it was revealed that QAnon was actually some kind of anarchist prank, would it even matter? Would its believers abandon it or would they just see it as a smear campaign?

Let us take for granted, for a while, that QAnon started as a prank in order to trigger right-wing weirdos and have a laugh at them. There's no doubt it has long become something very different. At a certain level it still sounds like a prank, but who's pulling it on whom? Was the QAnon narrative hijacked and reappropriated by right-wing "counter-pranksters"? Counter-pranksters who operated with the usual alt-right "post-ironic" cynicism, and made the narrative more and more absurd in order to astonish media pundits while spreading reactionary content in a captivating way?

Again: are the original pranksters still involved? Is there some detectable conflict of narratives within the QAnon universe? Why are some alt-right types taking the distance from the whole thing and showing contempt for what they describe as «a larp for boomers»?

A larp it is, for sure. To be more precise, it's a fascist Alternate Reality Game. Plausibly the most active players – ie the main influencers – don't believe in all the conspiracies and metaconspiracies, but many people are so gullible that they'll gulp down any piece of crap – or lump of menstrual blood, for that matter. Moreover, there's danger of gun violence related to the larp, the precedent of Pizzagate is eloquent enough. What if QAnon inspires a wave of hate crimes?

Therefore, to us the important question is: triggering nazis like that, what is it good for? That camp is divided between those who would believe anything and those who would be "ironic" on anything and exploit anything in order to advance their reactionary, racist agenda. Can you really troll or ridicule people like those?

It's hard to foresee what would happen if QAnon were exposed as an anarchist/leftist prank on the right. If its perpetrators claimed responsibility for it and showed some evidence (for example, unmistakeable references to our book and the LBP), would the explanation itself become yet another part of the narrative, or would it generate a new narrative encompassing and defusing the previous one? In plain words: which narrative would prevail? «QAnon sucking anything into its vortex» or «Luther Blissett's ultimate prank»?

In any case, we'd never have started anything like that ourselves. Way too dangerous.

Analysis

Interesting topic which explores the morality of turning horrible realities into art. I believe that it’s completely necessary to express the severity of human conflict. I believe that censorship from this kind of material removes the reality of the effect on human lives war creates

The picture, as noted, features Austrian dancer Tilly Losch astride a carousel turtle with Fred and Adele Astaire, Frank Morgan (best known as the titular Wizard of Oz) and Helen Broderick (familiar to fans of the Astaire-Rogers films Top Hat and Swing Time).

Tilly Losch is, today, the least known of the five, but she had an interesting career as a dancer and film star. A high point must have been working with the Astaires in The Band Wagon, the siblings’ final work together and a legendary revue during that genre’s Golden Age. Here, she’s pictured with Fred, likely from “The Beggar Waltz,” their only number together in the revue:

And here with Adele. 

The Museum of the City of New York has a great page of stills of her from The Band Wagon here.

Beyond the renown she earned through her work onstage, she was subsequently immortalized through the admiration and resulting work by Joseph Cornell in “Untitled (Tilly Losch),” one of the artist’s pieces focusing on a ballerina or screen star of his liking:

Here, Losch mesmerizes a very shy Charles Boyer in 1936′s Garden of Allah:

Her hand motions are featured in a short film, Dance of Her Hands:

which reminded me, at times, of a scene in Stage Beauty, a 2004 film about the dawn of women as actors in Shakespearean drama. Here, Ned Kynaston (Billy Crudup), renowned in London for his portrayal, en travesti, of Desdemona, threatened by the aspirations of his theater dresser Maria (Claire Danes), a woman who wants to go on stage despite royal prohibition of female actors:

Ned Kynaston: Do you know the Five Positions of Feminine Subjugation? Maria: What? Ned Kynaston: The Five Positions of Feminine Subjugation. No? Perhaps you're more acquainted with the Pose of Tragic Acceptance. Or the Demeanor of Awe and Terror. Maria: Mr. Kynaston. Ned Kynaston: How about the Supplicant's Clasp or the Attitude of Prostrate Grief? Maria: Mr. Kynaston. Ned Kynaston: Funny, you've seen me perform them a thousand times. I'd have thought they'd taken hold. Maria: Mr. Kynaston! Ned Kynaston: Ah, well now, there's a feminine gesture. You seem to have managed the Stamp of Girlish Petulance. Maria: I just wanted to act. I just wanted to do what you do. Ned Kynaston: I have worked half my life to do what I do. Fourteen boys crammed in a cellar... Do you know when I was in training for this profession, I was not permitted to wear a woman's dress for three long years, I was not permitted to wear a wig for four - not until I had proved that I had eliminated every masculine gesture, every masculine intonation from my very being. What teacher did you learn from? What cellar was your home? Maria: I had no teacher, nor such a classroom. But then, I had less need of training.

Above and Beyond comprises 58,307 dog tags. Each dog tag represents a person in the Vietnam War and is arranged in date order of death. And, each dog tag shows their name, casualty date, and military branch.

Above and Beyond was commissioned by the National Veterans Art Museum and created by artist Rick Steinbock, and veteran artists Ned Broderick, Joe Fornelli and Mike Helbing. It was originally installed at 1801 S. Indiana Ave. on May 26, 2001 to coincide with Chicago’s Memorial Day parade. Above and Beyond was created over a 2-year period as each dog tag was stamped by hand using a former military Graphotype machine.

Above and Beyond is the only memorial other than The Wall in Washington, D.C. to list all those killed in action during the Vietnam War. Additionally, it includes one black dog tag. This serves to remind us of those who died from conditions related to service during the Vietnam War.

Above and Beyond is part of the National Veterans Art Museum Collection, and is on extended exhibition at the Harold Washington Library Center--400 S. State St. Please check library hours for viewing.
