Give Up This Day

Announcer (Clark Cable): You are nearing the end of our Channel 85 broadcast cycle. At this time, we are proudly required to present our community spokesman for the religion of your choice. And now, Rear-Reverend Sport Trendleberg will give up this day.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Rev. Trendleberg: Good morning, or good evening, or good afternoon. How difficult to know what time it is when you’re locked in a tiny room with artificial light.

Let me scare you with a little story:

A fruit underwent a Danish operation and became a nun. Well, every day, she went for a quick dip in the same canal outside the monastery.  One day, unable to kick her habit, she dove in, and dragged down by the heavy black garments, drowned, and was found by a fisherman of a different face…eh, f-faith, who happened by. He was a common man; and when he asked his god, or devil, why this had not happened to him, he got no reply. And so, he took her shoes and walked away, preferring not to get involved.

So then, what are we afraid of? Fear, like pain, may just be god’s way of hurting us.

Good bless you, and god-night…and please don’t touch that dial.

~ “TV or Not TV” (1973)—Proctor & Bergman (Philip Proctor and Peter Bergman of Firesign Theatre fame.)

C’est en photographiant la famille Ford que Philippe Halsman a eu cette idée un peu folle : faire sauter Mme Ford devant l’objectif. Ainsi naît le concept de « jumpology ». Cet album présente des portraits hauts en couleurs (bien qu’en N&B), originaux, dynamiques, drôles et vrais. De Riga en Lettonie à New York, en passant par Paris, Philippe Halsman est devenu le plus grand portraitiste de son époque : Chagall, Le Corbusier, Gide, Malraux et d’autres artistes et intellectuels tombent tous sous la coupe de son appareil. Dès 1940, Halsman fuit l’Occupation et émigre aux États-Unis où il se reforgera une notoriété aux côtés de Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Winston Churchill, Audrey Hepburn, Salvador Dalí ou encore Alfred Hitchcock. La photographie d’Halsman se caractérise par son approche directe et psychologique, ainsi que par une recherche formelle dans le détail, affectionnant les expérimentations techniques et esthétiques. Il réalise 101 couvertures du magazine Life et publie, en 1959, son manifeste de la « jumpology » : Jump Book.

Le quasi 200 fotografie realizzate da Halsman a metà degli anni 50 che ritraggono stelle del cinema, regnanti, politici, attori, artisti e studiosi a mezz’aria sono ormai entrate a far parte nell’immaginario collettivo della cifra stilistica di Halsman. In quel periodo l’artista concludeva le sessioni fotografiche chiedendo ai suoi soggetti di saltare e così iniziò a prendere forma questa straordinaria ed energetica raccolta che tra gli altri annovera Marilyn Monroe, Edward Steichen, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Oppenheimer, John Steinbeck, Weegee, Aldous Huxley, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalì, Brigitte Bardot, Groucho Marx, Richard Nixon e il Duca e la Duchessa di Windsor. "Quando si chiede una persona di saltare", ha scritto Halsman, "la sua attenzione è principalmente rivolta verso l'atto di saltare, e la maschera cade, facendo apparire così la persona reale."

Top 10 Favorite Classic actors

So I was thinking of doing a top 10 actors list....But the list was dominated by classic actors ,so doing that list .Might do more modern actors too.Also this is both actors AND actresses

Rule to clasify for classic actor ,I went exclusively with actors who have passed on

10.Christopher Lee-Guy with a long and very varied career,Lee brings a dangerous villanous yet sophisticated and even seductive vibe to most roles

9.Peter Lorre:Arlene Francis once described Lorre as "Our favorite sad eyed villain" and that sums him up well .He brings both a creepines and yet a sense of sadness to many roles while also being an underrated comic talent .Even though type cast as villains he could play diffrent types of villains ,as shown by his three breakthrough performances in M ,Man Who Knew Too Much and Mad Love,where he plays a tormented pathetic childkiller ,a cool levelheaded kidnapper and a obsessed mad stalkerish surgeon with equal pinache

8.Roddy McDowall-Theres a sad cliche that child actors often have bad careers ,Roddy McDowall is a big exception,transitioning from child star to one of the most praised character actors of the 20th century with a six decade career .Be it film,television ,theater or voiceover,McDowall conquered it ,and be it a historical epic , a horror film,a cartoon or a certain franchise about talking apes .....McDowall NEVER phones in ,he brings the sauce

7.Vincent Price : Vincent is one of my favorite personalities of the 20th century ,known for his sophistication and wicked sense of humor .He started out as a matinee idol before finding his niche playing villains ,usually in horror.What I find interesting about Vincent is he is really good at playing the "Man drivent to villainy ",he can play a right evil bastard but his villains tend to be either sympathetic to an extent or they are clearly having a ball so you cant help but like them .Whether villain ,protagonist or even a side role hes just a hoot to watch

6.Boris Karloff -Karloff for YEARS was my go to answer for favorite actor .Of the classic horror stars Karloff is so understated,like he could go big if he wanted to but the little inflections and movements he does are effective enough.PArt of my love for him is his voice,like watch the GRinch or him telling the story of Death and the Servent in Target and you are just pulled in .He can do sinister very well,(I will always remember his slimey grin in The Body Snatcher) but of course his greatest legacy is being the FRankensteinMonster which if you ask me is one of the greatest performances in cinema ,he is brutal and vacant but at the same time sad,frightened and child like

5.Ingrid Bergman -So while I adore Casblanca and she is great in it....It is her performances in Gaslight ,Murder on the ORient Express and especially Anastasia that put her so high.I have never seen a performer just ....."Go there" as well as she does ,so consistantly and I kind of forget Im watching a movie .Shes not higher cause I just havent seen enough of her

4.Humphrey Bogart-Bogart is cool,and while Ive always thought he was cool,i wasnt initially impressed by ol Boagey .......The more stuff Ive seen with him the more I realize beneath that coolness is a really good actor who can do comedy,romance,be a tough guy and even be the second most paranoid nervous wreck of a villain I have ever seen (Behind Tony Goldwyn in Ghost ),theres more to him then just being cool

3.Katherine Hepburn;.....DO I have to explain placing one of the greatest performers of the 20th century so high? .....Just watch Philidelphia Story,African Queen and Lion and Winter,youll get it

2.Eli Wallach-I pretty much love this guy anytime he appears in something .Hes another guys who can play vilains but add a layer .Hes always entertaining and he played one of my favorite film characters ever Tuco in The Good the Bad and the Ugly

1.Claude Rains.....I think Claude Rains should be called the greatest actor of the 20th century over the likes of Charles Laughton,LAurance Olivier and John Gielgud.....Cause this guy TRAINED Charles Laughton,Laurance Olivier and John Gielgud !!!!!He is one of the greatest character actors of the 20th century .He has possibly the greatest voice of any actor (The competition is James Earl Jones and James Mason ) which was so striking,his big break was the Invisible Man ,a movie where you dont even SEE HIM .Man did horror,adventure ,sci fi ,musical ,dramas and was in both Casablanca (As my favorite film character ever Louis Renault ) AND Lawrance of Arabia ,AKA two movies considered pretty darn good .And if you want more proof ,watch his death scene in Deception where he is shot by Bette Davis ....And just smirks and says "You fool ".I stand by Rains being my absolute favorite actor

So thats my list,share your favorits if you want ,or just share your thoughts on mine

"Casablanca" in (vomitable) color

You are not looking at a fan's armature hobbyist project, nor something AI generated. This is the official, professional colorization by Ted Turner's company, unleashed on the unsuspecting public in 1988.

I want you all to share in my pain.

The very first image we're greeted with is this lollypop logo:

...my thoughts exactly.

Look at the laziness of this coloring job. It's like they selected colors at random, and just covered characters' entire outfits in them. My amateur Photoshop colorizations from college had more thought put into them!

But it gets worse.

...from Sam's "Rocky Horror" worthy suit...

...to Captain Renault's Fruit-by-the-Foot ribbons, to...

Ugarte contemplating whether his cheese curd suit was appropriate for Rick's Cafe.

"Signor Ugarte, you are under arrest for wearing that...thing."

But Ugarte's not the only one who looks like a bottle of mustard. Someone in the coloring department really loved that ugly shade of Craft yellow.

...is this Casablanca, or the Wisconsin Cheese Festival?

Because of that one line about Ilsa wearing blue on the day the Nazis marched into France, the color supervisor decided that Ilsa should only wear blue--except of course, for her cheese blouse previously shown.

A PROFESSIONAL. COLORING JOB.
