‘That’s P2, y/n, P2. We’ve secured the front row.’.

��Fuck yeah! Whoo!” You cheered over the radio, heading to Parc Fermé.

You pulled up beside your teammate by the banners and took the wheel off so you could climb out of the car. Max ran over to you and gave you the very definition of a bro hug, patting you so hard on the back it felt like he was trying to burp you. “We did it!”

“Hell yeah we did. Now let’s do that again for the race tomorrow.” You gave him a fist bump and headed over towards the garage.

This was what you came here to do, top the points with Max from the get go. You had no doubt in your skills, it was just proving it to everyone else. P2. For your first qualifying. You outdid everyone except your own teammate. Dan had qualified 6th; within the points but you knew it wasn’t what he would’ve wanted. But it wasn’t about him right now, it was about what you’d achieved.

Several of the boys came over and gave you pats on the back and fist bumps. It was nice to be praised by the people you respected most. You pulled your helmet off and swapped it for your cap, hiding any sins the helmet may have caused. Vettel approached you and shook your hand.

“Good job. Looking forward to seeing you in the race tomorrow.”

Don’t panic. It’s only Sebastian Vettel.

“U-Uhm thank you. I’m excited to be out on the track with everyone.”

He nodded in agreement before heading over to Mick. Their relationship was cute. You’d heard Mick gushing over how Vettel was like a cool uncle to him, and it was nice that he had someone he could turn to when times were hard. The PR manager came over as Vettel left and gave you a quick debrief before the post-qualifying interview. “Good job. Try and steer any questions they give back to the race. Now that they’ve seen you behind the wheel, I’m hoping those silly gossip questions will ease off some.”

You walked over towards the interviewer who was currently chatting to Lewis. Despite you being a fresh competitor for him, he was never anything but nice to you off the track. During pre-season interviews, he’d been the biggest supporter for you joining F1 but he didn’t treat you any differently to the others on the track, which was exactly what you wanted.

He shook your hand as he walked away from his interview. “Good job, y/n. You killed it.”

“Thanks for the support, Lewis.”

“Y/n! Congratulations, starting on the front row for your first race. You must be excited!” The interviewer asked, holding the microphone towards you so the fans in the stands could hear you. As you approached him, the cheers were loud. Wow.

“Yeah man, I’m so bloody happy. I’m so happy to finally be on the grid. Even more so at the front of it.”

“And you finished ahead of our very own 7 time world champion. How does that feel?”

F1 questions. Fuck yes.

“Lewis is crazy talented and being able to top his time is absolutely unreal after watching from the sidelines for years.”

“Thank you, y/n. Good luck with the race tomorrow.”

You waved at the fans before heading towards your trailer for a little bit of down time. You were so buzzed; P-fucking-2 in your first qualifying - you weren’t dumb, you knew being in a good car helped your case but compared to some of Max’s previous teammates it was impressive to be so close to him from the jump. It was a shame that Alex and Pierre had to lose their seat at Redbull in order for you to join the team; you heard regardless of whether or not you joined Alex was out - they were considering Perez but he ended up at Haas with Mick after you took the seat.

“Y/n! Been trying to find you!” Max jogged up to you as you stepped into your trailer.

“Everything okay?” You asked, inviting him into your trailer and shutting the door behind the pair of you. He moved over to your couch as you opened your mini fridge to get a drink.

“You really didn’t need to come at Dan’s throat like that during the press conference.”

You slammed the door of the fridge closed. “Excuse me? I came at Dan’s throat? Did you not hear that question he asked me, Max?”

“I did but y/n, you don’t understand-“

“No, I don’t. Because, instead of telling me what’s really bothering him like an adult, he’s chatting shit at press conferences and getting his best buddy to try and clean up after him.” You cut him off. “I’m on this team, in this seat, because we joined Redbull together. Redbull was always the plan for us, what was I supposed to do when he went off to another team and Renault wouldn’t let me follow? Just quit?”

“Y/n-“

“No Max, I’m not hearing it from you. If he has something to say to me - he can apologise for that stunt he pulled earlier and explain himself because I haven’t the foggiest clue what that man’s problem is.”

Max held his hands up defensively, realising there was no chance of getting you to change your mind right now. “I’ll leave you to it.”

“Today was supposed to be good, Max. We just got our first 1-2 start of the season.” You protested as he reached for the door handle.

He came up to you and squeezed your biceps, making your eyes meet his. “I know, I’m sorry. We did well today. We’re gonna smash the championship, I know it. You’re gonna be the best teammate I’ve had. That includes Dan.”

You smiled softly and let him pull you into a hug. “Thanks Max. I need a friend right now.”

“You’ve got me. Don’t worry. Dan’s my best friend but I’m not going to just leave you hanging, we’re a team.”

He playfully pulled your cap down over your eyes, earning a shove. “Idiot.”

“There’s a couple hours before it gets dark, do you want to join me and some of the boys for a non-alcoholic beverage?” He asked.

“Will-“

“No.”

“Okay, I’ll come for a bit then. I want an early night though, big day tomorrow.” You took your hat off. “I’ll be out in a second. Just gonna change quickly.”

He nodded and left you alone for a moment to change. You stripped and pulled on some jeans and a black tank top; it may be the evening but it was still a little warm so you didn’t want to overheat. You grabbed a hoodie for the walk back and met Max outside the trailer, he was texting his girlfriend but put the phone away when he saw you. “Ready?”

“Who’s coming?” You asked, following him down towards the little refreshment area that was set up for drivers.

“Pierre, Charles, Lando, George and Carlos said they’d come. I think that’s it. They all wanted to congratulate you.”

“That’s nice of them. You boys make me feel young” you laughed softly, earning a fond smile back from the Dutchman.

“You’re not that old. You’re not even 30.”

“Oh but I’m closer to it than any of you.” You whined, but your mood was quickly changed when you were met by a barrage of hugs from the group.

“There she is!” Lando grinned, “come sit. We have… juice.”

“Ah, nice. Very responsible boys.” You chuckled, sitting between Pierre and Max.

As you picked your glass up, you let your eyes flicker to Pierre on your left - but instead of meeting his eyes or the side of his head as he spoke to others, the little git was looking right at your tits.

“Hey.” You snapped your fingers at him. “Up here, Gasly.”

“Ooooo” the boys taunted.

“Shut up.” He blushed, lowering his head as the boys teased him. You always knew that Pierre had a little thing for you; he was a good friend but sometimes his hand would be a little too low on your back or he’d hold eye contact for a little too long. He blushed dark whenever you complimented him; you knew it was mean to tease him but it was all in good spirits. As far as you knew, he knew there was nothing from your side.

“Everyone” George spoke up, holding his glass of orange juice up. “To y/n, the first female driver on the grid and to her P2 start tomorrow!”

“To y/n.” They chorused, as you all tapped your glasses together.

“Y/n, can I ask a question?” Lando spoke up after sipping his drink, his young face coated with concern, clearly bothered by something. “You don’t have to answer.”

“It’s okay, I’ll answer.”

“What is going on with you and Dan? I thought you were like…” He crossed his fingers.

“Honestly? When I signed my contract we started growing apart and things just got all weird between us. Why do you ask, Lando?”

“…well the way you act around each other isn’t the same anymore and he got mad at me for the bike ride.”

“What? Really?” You sighed, running a hand over your face. “I’m really sorry, kid. I didn’t mean to make things difficult between the two of you.”

“It’s okay. I hope you can sort things out though, it would be nice to all hang out together again. Feels like mum and dad have gone through a divorce.”

“Do you all feel like this?”

The boys all murmured and nodded in agreement. Even before you joined the grid, you were good friends with the boys - you, them and Daniel all hung out whenever you could. You hadn’t realised how much your dwindling friendship was impacting all of them; Max, sure, but to find out it was putting such a strain on your other friends too was hard to hear. You felt the worst for Lando, you’d formed such a bond since he joined the sport and you felt guilty for making him feel uncomfortable around you and his new teammate.

“I’m sorry boys… I do need to talk to him but…”

“It’s hard, we understand,” Pierre said, placing his hand on top of yours and giving it a gentle squeeze. “We know you’d never ask us to pick sides. We all just want what’s best for you.”

You smiled softly at him and let your hand flip over so you could link your fingers together and squeeze gently. “You’re too kind. Do you all think rekindling with Dan would be best for me?”

“I’ve known you since 2014, y/n.” Max spoke up, worried he’d get scolded again for speaking up about you and Dan. “I’ve not seen you happier than when you’re with him.”

“I thought you were a couple when we met.” Charles chuckled softly. “The way he looked at you, honestly, y/n it was like you had brought him the moon or something.”

“Oh fuck off, Charles.” You blushed a little, quickly dismissing his comment. “Besides, I wouldn’t even know where to start with him. He’s been a right bitch lately. I’ve already told Max that if he wants to do something about it he needs to apologise… I’m sorry boys but I’m not making the first move here. He embarrassed me in front of my team and those reporters, knowing how important the impression I need to make this year is.”

Pierre unlinked your fingers so he could slide his arm around you and pull you into a gentle side hug. You let out a shaky breath and shook your head, cracking your knuckles to keep the tears back.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean for it to get so deep.” Lando apologised, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Yeah, mate, we are supposed to be celebrating y/n!” Carlos jabbed playfully. “How often do we get to celebrate a wonderful girl getting such a fast lap, huh?”

“You’re right mate.”

“Toast round two. Cheers y/n.” You all held up your empty juice glasses. “Good luck tomorrow. We all believe in you and we’ve all got your back… off the track”

“Oh you bet your arse I’m getting on that podium tomorrow.” You laughed, clinking your glass against George’s. “I don’t say it enough, but I really appreciate you boys. All of you. You didn’t have to accept me into the group but I’m glad you have.”

“Are you kidding? You’d be one of us regardless if you were on the grid or not” Lando smiled.

“You boys are too kind.” You chuckled softly. “Hope you’re not this nice to me on track, will be boring else.”

“Oh trust me, we’re all gonna be right up your ass like flies on shit.”

“Charming as always, Charles.”

As the sun slowly began to come down, you pulled your hoodie over your head and began the slow walk back to your trailer. Pierre, of course, insisted on keeping you walking you back - you couldn’t say no to his puppy dog eyes. So the two of you ambled in comfortable silence.

“Well, here’s me.” You turned around and flinched, not realising just how close behind you the Frenchman was standing. “Jesus, Pierre. Scared the shit out of me.”

Your eyes met his and you frowned. Suddenly, you felt him lean in so you placed your hands on his chest and gently held him back.

“Y/n… I’m sorry, I just…I had to try. I needed to know.” He blushed, lowering his head.

“Hey, it’s okay. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take right? Friends?” You smiled softly, squeezing his bicep.

“Friends.” He sighed softly, before turning away from you. He started to walk away but then stopped and turned back to face you. “…it’s Dan isn’t it?”

“…I think so. I’m sorry.”

“No, no. Don’t apologise” His voice was soft. “You should talk to him though.”

“I know.” Your voice cracked a little. The Frenchman gave you a quick hug before actually leaving.

You stepped inside your trailer and locked the door behind you. Fuck. Did you just say out loud that Dan was the reason you didn’t kiss Pierre? Why? Dan doesn’t give a shit about who you kiss, he’s got someone…

You stripped off and climbed into the shower, letting the hot water fall onto your skin and wash away any thoughts of Daniel. You had to get your head in the game for tomorrow… you needed to be on that podium. It was your dream to be an F1 champion and tomorrow was the official start of that journey, so you weren’t going to let him distract you from that.

You’ve got this.

Sci-Fi And The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

I know many of you prefer “science fiction” or “science fantasy” or “speculative fiction” or “sf” or even “stf” for short, but I ain’t that guy…

I’m a sci-fi kinda guy.

I prefer sci-fi because to me it evokes the nerdy playfulness the genre should embrace at some level (and, no we’re not gonna debate geek vs nerd as a descriptor; “geeky” implies biting heads off chickens no matter how benign and respectable the root has become).

. . .

A brief history of sci-fi films -- a very brief history.

Georges Melies’ 1898 short A Trip to The Moon is one of the earliest examples of the genre, and it arrived full blown at the dawn of cinema via its literary predecessors in Verne and Wells.

There were a lot of bona fide sci-fi films before WWII -- the Danes made a surprisingly large number in the silent era, Fritz Lang gave us Metropolis and Frau Im Mond, we saw the goofiness of Just Imagine and the spectacle of Things To Come and the space opera appeal of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.

And that’s not counting hundreds of other productions -- comedies and contemporary thrillers and westerns -- where a super-science mcguffin played a key part.

That came to a screeching halt in WWII primarily due to budget considerations and real world science easily overtaking screen fantasy. Still, there were a few bona fide sci-fi films and serials during the war and immediately thereafter, but it wasn’t until the flying saucer scare of the late forties that sci-fi became a popular movie genre again (and on TV as well).

Ground zero for 1950s sci-fi was George Pal’s Destination Moon, which was an attempt to show a plausible flight to the moon (it was actually beaten to the screens by a couple of other low budget movies that rushed into production to catch Pal’s PR wave for his film).

This led to the first 1950s sci-fi boom that lasted from 1949 to 1954, followed by a brief fallow period, then a larger but far less innovative second boom in the late 1950s to early 1960s.

BTW, let me heartily recommend the late Bill Warren’s magnificent overview of sci-fi films of that era, Keep Watching The Skies, a must have in any sci-fi film fan’s library.

Seriously, go get it.

Bill and I frequently discussed films of that and subsequent eras, and Bill agreed with my assessment of the difference between 1950s sci-fi and 1960s sci-fi: 1950s sci-fi most typically ends with the old order restored, while 1960s sci-fi typically ends with the realization things have changed irrevocably.

In other words, “What now, puny human?”

I judge the 1960s sci-fi boom to have started in 1963 (at least for the US and western Europe; behind the Iron Curtain they were already ahead of us) with the Outer Limits TV show, followed in 1964 by the films The Last Man On Earth (based on Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend), Robinson Crusoe On Mars, and The Time Travelers.

But what really triggered the 1960s sci-fi boom was Planet Of The Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The former was shopped around every major Hollywood studio starting in 1963 until it finally found a home at 20th Century Fox (whose market research indicated there was an audience for well-made serious sci-fi film and hence put Fantastic Voyage into production). Kubrick, fresh off Lolita and Dr. Srangelove (another sci-fi film tho not presented as such), carried an enormous cache in Hollywood of that era, and if MGM was going to bankroll his big budget space movie, hey, maybe there was something to this genre after all.

From 1965 forward, the cinematic space race was on, with 1968 being a banner year for groundbreaking sci-fi movies: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barbarella, Charly, Planet Of The Apes, The Power, Project X, and Wild In The Streets. (Star Trek premiering on TV in 1967 didn’t hurt, either.)

And, yeah, there were a number of duds and more than a few old school throwbacks during this era, but the point is the most interesting films were the most innovative ones.

Here’s a partial list of the most innovative sci-fi films from 1969 to 1977, nine-year period with some of the most original ideas ever presented in sci-fi films. Not all of these were box office successes, but damn, they got people’s attention in both the film making and sci-fi fandom communities.

=1969=

The Bed Sitting Room

Doppelganger (US title: Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun)

The Gladiators

The Monitors

Stereo

=1970=

Beneath The Planet Of The Apes [a]

Colossus: The Forbin Project

Crimes Of The Future

Gas-s-s-s

The Mind Of Mr. Soames

No Blade Of Grass

=1971=

The Andromeda Strain

A Clockwork Orange

Glen And Randa

The Hellstrom Chronicle

THX 1138

=1972=

Silent Running

Slaughterhouse Five

Solaris [b]

Z.P.G.

=1973=

Day Of The Dolphin

Fantastic Planet

The Final Programme (US title: The Last Days Of Man On Earth)

Idaho Transfer

=1974=

Dark Star

Phase IV

Space Is The Place

Zardoz

=1975=

A Boy And His Dog

Black Moon

Death Race 2000

Rollerball

Shivers (a.k.a. They Came From Within and The Parasite Murders) [c]

The Stepford Wives

=1976=

God Told Me To [a.k.a. Demon]

The Man Who Fell To Earth

=1977=

Wizards

[a] I include Beneath The Planet Of The Apes because it is the single most nihilistic major studio film released, a movie that posits Charlton Heston blowing up the entire planet is A Damn Good Idea; follow up films in the series took a far more conventional approach to the material. While successful, neither the studio nor mainstream audiences knew what to make of this film, so 20th Century Fox re-released it in a double bill with another problematic production, Russ Meyer’s Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and holy cow, if ever there was a more bugfuck double feature from a major studio I challenge you to name it.

[b] Other than Karel Zemen’s delightful animated films, Iron Curtain sci-fi films rarely screened in the US, with the exception of special effects stock shots strip mined to add production values to cheapjack American productions (looking at you, Roger Corman). Solaris is the exception.

[c] David Cronenberg made several other films in this time frame, but most of them were variations on the themes he used in Shivers, including his big break out, Scanners. Realizing he was repeating himself, Cronenberg reevaluated his goals and started making films with greater variety of theme and subject matter.

. . .

The astute reader will notice I bring my list to an end in 1977, a mere nine-year span instead of a full decade.

That’s because 1977 also saw the release of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and Star Wars.

The effect was immediate, with knock-off films being released the same year.

1978 saw Dawn Of The Dead, a sequel to 1968’s Night Of The Living Dead, and Superman, the first non-campy superhero movie aimed at non-juvenile audiences.

1979 gave us Alien, Mad Max, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

These films were not just successful, they were blockbusters.

And none of them were original.

Close Encounters served as an excuse to do a Kubrick-style light show; plot and theme are about as deep as a Dixie cup, and of all the blockbusters of that era, it’s the one with no legs.

Alien’s pedigree can be traced back to It! Terror From Beyond Space (and It’s pedigree goes back to A.E. van Vogt’s “Black Destroyer” and “Discord In Scarlet” in the old Astounding Stories) and Demon Planet (US title: Planet Of The Vampires) by way of Dark Star (Dan O’Bannon writing the original screenplays for that film and Alien as well).

Mad Max, like 1981’s Escape From New York, differs from earlier post-apocalypse movies only insofar as their apocalypses of a social / cultural / political nature, not nuclear or biological weapons. Mad Max, in fact, can trace its lineage back to No Blade Of Grass, which featured it own caravan of refugees attacked by modern day visigoths on motorcycles, and the original Death Race 2000, as well as an odd little Australian non-sci-fi film, The Cars That Ate Paris.

Not only was Dawn Of The Dead a sequel, but it kickstarted a worldwide tsunami of zombie movies that continues to this day (no surprise as zombie films are easy to produce compared to other films listed here, and while there are a few big budget examples of the genre, the typical zombie movie is just actors in ragged clothes and crappy make-up).

Superman was…well…Superman. And Star Trek was Star Trek.

And the granddaddy of them all, Star Wars, was a cinematic throwback that threw so far back it made the old seem new again.

Not begrudging any of those films their success: They were well made and entertaining.

But while there had been plenty of sequels and remakes and plain ol’ knockoffs of successful sci-fi movies in the past, after these seven there was precious little room for anything really different or innovative.

1982’s E.T. was Spielberg’s unofficial follow-up to Close Encounters.

1984’s Terminator consciously harkened back to Harlan Elison’s Outer Limits episodes “Demon With A Glass Hand” and “Soldier” (not to mention 1966’s Cyborg 2087 which looks like a first draft of Cameron’s film)

All innovative movies are risky, and the mammoth success of the films cited above did little to encourage new ideas in sci-fi films but rather attempts to shoehorn material into one of several pre-existing genres.

Star Wars = space opera of the splashy Flash Gordon variety

Star Trek = crew on a mission (Star Trek: The Next Generation [+ 5 other series], Andromeda, Battlestar: Galactica [4 series], Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, Farscape, Firefly [+ movie], The Orville, Space Academy, Space Rangers, Space: Above And Beyond, plus more anime and syndicated shows than you can shake a stick at)

Superman = superheroes (nuff’ sed!)

Close Encounters / E.T. = cute aliens

Alien = not-so-cute aliens

Terminator = robots vs humans (and, yes, The Matrix movies fall into this category)

Escape From New York = urban post-apocalypse

Mad Max = vehicular post-apocalypse

Dawn Of The Dead = zombies

Mix and match ‘em and you’ve got a nearly limitless number of variations you know are based on proven popular concepts, none of that risky original stuff.

Small wonder that despite the huge number of new sci-fi films and programs available, little of it is memorable.

. . .

It shouldn’t be like this.

With ultra-cheap film making tools (there are theatrically released films shot on iPhones so there’s literally no barrier to entry) and copious venues for ultra-low / no-budget film makers to show their work (YouTube, Vimeo, Amazon Prime, etc.), there’s no excuse for there not to be a near limitless number of innovative films in all genres.

But there isn’t.

I watch a lot of independent features and short films on various channels and streaming services.

They’re either direct knock-offs of current big budget blockbusters (because often the film makers are hoping to impress the big studios into giving them lots of money to make one of their movies), or worse still, deliberately “bad” imitations of 1950s B-movies (and I get why there’s an appeal to do a bad version of a B-movie; if you screw up you can always say you did it deliberately).

Look, I understand the appeal of fan fic, written or filmed.

And I get it that sometimes it’s easier to do a knock-off where the conventions of the genre help with the final execution.

But let’s not make deliberate crap, okay?

Oscar Wilde is quoted as saying “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” but he was quoting somebody else, and that wasn’t the whole original quote.

Wilde was quoting Charles Caleb Colton, a dissolute English clergyman with a passion for gambling and a talent for bon mots.

Colton’s full quote: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”

Don’t be mediocre.

Be great.

5. Favourite track(s)?

Uhm, probably COTA and Brasil? I dunno mostly just tracks that mean interesting races (or the ones Max has won at :P)

8. Least favourite team?

Uhm Haas or Racing Point I guess. I’m mostly just very meh about them.

23. Describe how do you watch F1? At home or somewhere else, with family, friends or alone? Any special pre-race rituals?

Usually I watch the race at home alone, but sometimes I’ll go and watch it with my dad. I usually watch all the pre race and post race shows on ziggo before and after the race if I can (and it’s not 4am). But other than that I don’t really have any pre-race rituals.

31. Your top-3 of the sexiest F1 drivers from all the time?

Max, Dan and probably Lando atm. I haven’t really watched older F1 stuff, so I’m going from the drivers from 2016 onwards. Charles and Alex are definitely also in the top5 though. Yes I put Lando higher than Charles, because he’s a cutie and seems a little nicer to hang out with, which also counts shh.

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND September 20, 2019 - VILLAINS, BLOODLINE, DOWNTON ABBEY, AD ASTRA, RAMBO: LAST BLOOD

It’s hard to believe that September is almost over, and we’re just sailing through the September festival season with the New York Film Festival starting (for real) next week. There are three wide releases, but I will only have seen one of them before writing this, so instead, I’ll talk about a couple genre movies opening Friday, both of which played at Lincoln Center’s “Scary Movies XII” last month.

I remember writing quite extensively about VILLAINS (Alter/Gunpowder and Sky) when I was over at the Tracking Board, mainly about the casting of Bill Skarsgard from It, Maika Monroe from It Follows, as well as Jeffrey Donovan and Kyra Sedgwick. It’s the new movie from Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, who directed the horror sequel The Stakelander and have written a pretty amazing comedy-thriller twist on the home invasion movie. Skarsgard and Monroe play a young couple who hide out in a seemingly abandoned house after robbing a store. They soon learn that not only is it not abandoned, but there is a young girl chained in the basement. The owners of the home, played by Kyra Sedgwick and Jeffrey Donovan, then return and things go sideways for the young couple as they find that maybe their petty crimes make them the good guys in this scenario. Villains is getting a fairly hearty release into roughly 100 theaters across the country, so check your listings to see if/where it will be playing near you. (It mainly seems to be playing in Regal theaters across the country.)

Another interesting genre film opening Friday is Henry Jacobson’s psychological thriller BLOODLINE (Momentum Pictures), starring Seann William Scott as Evan, a high school social worker with a secret – he’s also a serial killer who tries to help his patients by ridding them of their issues. Evan is also experiencing a new baby with his wife, which might keep him from his killing habits, except that his mother (Dale Dickey) has shown up to help them, and she was the one who taught him his ways. This is a really dark and gory film that I quite enjoyed in a similar way as some of my favorite serial killer thrillers, from Hitchcock’s Psychoto Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer and others. It honestly can’t be a better time for this with all the true crime television we’re getting, and I was pretty blown away by Scott’s performance in this. Bloodlineisplaying at the IFC Center for Friday and Saturday late night screenings and probably will be available On Demand as well.

You can read my interview with Seann William Scott and the directors of VILLAINS over at The Beat, the latter posting Friday.

The one wide release I have seen this weekend is Focus Features’ DOWNTOWN ABBEY, a continuation of the PBS series with an absolutely amazing British cast that includes Dame Maggie Smith, Penelope Wilton and so many more that I won’t name all of them. I feel that I’m not the best person to properly review the movie since I haven’t seen a second of the series, but I generally liked what I saw and might give it a look if I can find a good streaming source on which to binge it. I actually liked the movie enough to recommend it without having any previous knowledge of the series.

Probably my biggest disappointment of this week is that I didn’t have a chance to see James Gray’s AD ASTRA (20thCentury Fox), starring Brad Pitt, before Thursday night, because I wasn’t able to get to the press screening. It’s been one of my more anticipated movies of the year, mainly because I generally love outer space movies, but I also have been interested in seeing what Gray and Pitt do with the material, especially with such a great supporting cast.

Another movie that I only got to see just before this column posts is Sylvester Stallone’s RAMBO: LAST BLOOD (Lionsgate), which I reviewed over at The Beat. I had very few expectations for the movie, as I’ve never been a huge Rambo fan. I’m not sure why, but I guess I just never got into the Rah! Rah! USA! Stuff that permeated the United States in the ‘80s, and I was more into music than movies at the time. Reading my review, it’s obvious that Stallone’s latest attempt to revive a franchise didn’t do much for me.

You can read what I think of the above’s box office prospects over at The Beat, as well.

LIMITED RELEASES

I’m not quite sure why there are so many limited releases this weekend –I count almost 30 (!!!!) over on Rotten Tomatoes– but I’ll see what I can get to this week since I’m already a little behind. If you missed, Rob Zombie’s 3 FROM HELL on Monday and Tuesday night and more importantly, missed my scathing review of it over at The Beat, well, then you’ve missed it since this column is posting after it played its last night before its blu-ray release next month. Sorry!

A fantastic documentary opening at the Metrograph this week is Jacqueline Olive’s directorial debut ALWAYS IN SEASON (Multitude Films), a stirring film about the history of lynching, circling around the death of 17-year-old Lennon Lacy from Bladenboro, North Carolina, which is ruled as a suicide but his mother Claudia is convince that her son was lynched. Olive’s powerful film provides a background for how lynching became so prevalent in the early part of the 20thCentury, including an eerie annual reenactment by the town of Monroe, Georgia that wants to make sure that the county’s atrocities aren’t forgiven or forgotten. Narrated by Danny Glover, Olive’s directorial debut is powerful and moving and a film that must not be missed – maybe it’s no surprise that it won a Special Jury prize at Sundance Film Festival for “Moral Urgency” earlier this year. I was pretty shaken up when I saw it at this year’s Oxford Film Festival.

The Metrograph is also screening two National Geographic shorts, Alexander A. Mora’s The Night Crawlers and Orlando von Einsiedel’sLost and Found, over the next week. The Night Crawlers looks at a group of Filipino journalists known as the “Manila Nightcrawlers” who seek to expose the truth about President Duterte’s war on drugs and the number of people who lost their lives over it. Lost and Foundi s a new doc short from the director of the Netflix doc The White Helmets which looks at the Myanmar’s ethnic violence against the Rohingya people through the eyes of a man in a refugee camp seeking to reunite children with parents.

Japanese animation house Studio TRIGGER’s first feature film PROMARE (GKIDS) will get a limited release on Friday, following Fathom Events showings on Tuesday (already passed) and Thursday (tonight). It will then be opening in New York at the Metrograph and AMC Empire on Friday for a one-week run. It’s an apocalyptic sci-fi thriller set in a world thirty years after a race of flame-wielding mutant beings called the Burnish set half the world on fire an the battle between the anti-Burnish Burning Rescue and Lio Fotia, leader of the aggressive new “Mad Burnish” mutants.

Paolo Sorrentino, director of the Oscar-winning The Great Beauty and its follow-up Youth, returns with LORO (Sundance Selects), about a young hustler named Sergio (Riccardo Scamarcio) managing an escort service who sets his sights on the egotistical billionaire Italian ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (Tony Servillo) who is trying to bribe his way back into power. It will open at the IFC Center Friday.

A couple other docs opening this weekend, the first two opening at New York’s Film Forum…

Now playing is Hassan Fazili’s Midnight Traveler (Oscilloscope) about how the filmmaker received death threats from the Taliban in 2015 for running Kabul, Afghanistan’s Art Café, a progressive meeting place, so he, his wife and two young daughters must travel 3,500 miles over 3 years across four countries to get to Hungary, a journey documented via mobile phone cameras. It will open in L.A. on October 4.

Then on Friday, there’s Matt Tyrnauer’s new film WHERE’S MY ROY COHN? (Sony Pictures Classics) looks at the lawyer and power broker who was part of Joe McCarthy’s anti-Communist activities and who was pivotal in molding a young Queens developer named Donald Trump. I wanted to like this movie more because Roy Cohn is such an interesting human being in such a despicable way, but this doc really didn’t do much for me.

Opening in New York (Cinema Village) and L.A. (Laemmle Glendale) is DIEGO MARADONA (HBO Sports), the new doc from Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna), which will show on HBO on October 1. If you don’t know international football (or soccer), the Argentine Maradona is one of the most famous footballers of all time, a bit of a legend since signing to Naples in 1984 for a record-setting fee. I haven’t watched this yet but hope to soon.

Opening at New York’s IFC Center Friday is Max Powers’ Don’t Be Nice (Juno Films), focusing on the Bowery Slam Poetry Team as they head to the national championships, and there will be QnAs almost every night in its week-long run, and then it will open in L.A. on September 27.

Completely unrelated but also at the IFC Center is a full-week run of National Theatre Live: Fleabag, screening a pre-recorded performance of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s one-woman show that inspired her hit Emmy-nominated show from the Soho Playhousein London’s West End. Heck, I might try to get to one of these since it won’t be on television or any other format for at least a year.

After opening for “one night only” on Tuesday, Louie (The Cove) Psihoyos’ new movie The Game Changers will get a release on New York this Friday and L.A. the 27th. Exec. produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan, it explores the rise of plant-based eating in professional sports along with Special Forces trainer James Wilks and features segments on Schwarzenegger, Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton, tennis player Novak Djokovic and NBA star Chris Paul.

Demi Moore, Ed Helms, Karan Soni (from the “Deadpool” movies) and Jessica Williams star in the horror-comedy Corporate Animals (Screen Media), the new comedy from Patrick Brice (Creep, The Overnight) about a corporate team-building adventure that turns to cannibalism when an office group find themselves trapped in a cave system. The movie has a great cast but the strange concept and weak screenplay really keeps the movie from delivering.

Other movies out this weekend include James Franco’s Zeroville (MyCinema), co-starring Megan Fox and Seth Rogen; Nicolas Cage’s new movie Running with the Devil (Quiver DIstribution), a drug thriller co-starring Laurence Fishburne, Barry Pepper, Leslie Bibb and more; and the award-winning Chinese drama Send Me to the Clouds (Cheng Cheng Films), opening in L.A., NY, Toronto and Vancouver.

STREAMING AND CABLE

Maybe the movie I’m most excited for this week is Zak Galifianakis’ BETWEEN TWO FERNS: THE MOVIE (Netflix), which I’m sure is going to be silly, maybe even stupid, but I’m still amused by his style of humor. I also haven’t seen the new Netflix doc Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates, and I also no absolutely nothing about the movie other than what’s in the title.

Why Do Republicans Deny Climate Change

Why Do Republicans Deny Climate Change

Florida Could Be Underwater In A Few Decades Can Republicans Win The Battleground State If They Refuse To Heed Environmental Warnings

Why Do Republicans Deny Climate Change Science?

Molly OTooleKeith JohnsonForeign Policy

MIAMI Florida is waging a quixotic battle against climate change that becomes immediately and aggravatingly apparent when driving anywhere in Miami. Endless orange traffic cones, flashing detour signs, and car-swallowing pits clog the streets as the city tries to rebuild overloaded sewer systems and literally raise roads above the encroaching flood waters.

Sitting in his cramped, cluttered office at the University of Miami, geophysics professor Chris Harrison squints at a rising red line on his computer monitor. It shows sea levels in Key West, which have risen 2 mm per year on average in the last hundred years or so. No longer: Now theyre rising by 3 mm each year bad news for a place where the highest elevation is 345 feet. So is Miami eventually doomed to a watery death?

Well, yes, he said.

I dont have a plan to influence the weather, he dismissively answered a question about climate change at a town hall in New Hampshire.

People Who Have Changed Their Position

“I used to be a climate-change skeptic”, conservative columnist Max Boot admitted in 2018, one who believed that “the science was inconclusive” and that worry was “overblown”. Now, he says, referencing the Fourth National Climate Assessment, “the scientific consensus is so clear and convincing.”

Climate change doubter Bob Inglis, a former US representative for South Carolina, changed his mind after appeals from his son on his environmental positions, and after spending time with climate scientist Scott Heron studying coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef. Inglis lost his House race in 2010, and went on to found republicEn, a nonprofit promoting conservative voices and solutions on climate change.

Jerry Taylor promoted climate denialism for 20 years as former staff director for the energy and environment task force at the American Legislative Exchange Council and former vice president of the Cato Institute. Taylor began to change his mind after climate scientist James Hansen challenged him to reread some Senate testimony. He became President of the Niskanen Center in 2014, where he is involved in turning climate skeptics into climate activists, and making the business case for climate action.

Weather Channel senior meteorologist Stu Ostro expressed skepticism or cynicism about anthropogenic global warming for some years, but by 2010, he had become involved in explaining the connections between man-made climate change and extreme weather.”

Farmers And Climate Denial

Seeing positive economic results from efforts at climate-friendly agricultural practices, or becoming involved in intergenerational stewardship of a farm may play a role in turning farmers away from denial. One study of climate change denial among farmers in Australia found that farmers were less likely to take a position of climate denial if they had experienced improved production from climate-friendly practices, or identified a younger person as a successor for their farm.

In the United States, rural climate dialogues sponsored by the Sierra Club have helped neighbors overcome their fears of political polarization and exclusion, and come together to address shared concerns about climate impacts in their communities. Some participants who start out with attitudes of anthropogenic climate change denial have shifted to identifying concerns which they would like to see addressed by local officials.

Young Republicans See Shift In Gop: ‘from Outright Denial To Climate Caucus’

Twenty-four-year-old Republican Danielle Butcher is watching with anticipation as GOP leaders move from outright denial to now having a climate caucus a move she sees as the first step in integrating climate action into formal party policy.

Butcher, the executive vice president of the American Conservation Coalition , spoke to The Hills Equilibrium on Tuesday, just a week after Rep. John Curtis ;launched the Conservative Climate Caucus and the same day that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy

The partys progress is huge, when you apply the context, Butcher said.; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;

This is an excellent first step, she continued. The first thing you have to do in achieving climate action is start talking about these problems.

To Butcher, integrating climate action into Republican politics speaks to her partys historic conservation core the GOP with a deep-seated, rural heritage, was responsible for creation of the National Park Service and the Environmental Protection Agency under former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Nixon.

I also see this as us reclaiming our heritage, she said.

But with two-thirds of Americans indicating that the government should do more on climate change a stance that Butcher observed is especially true among young people” she said Republicans need to be talking about these issues and involving the younger generation in the discussions.

The GOP has notoriously struggled with young people, she added.

% Of Scientists Agree That Humans Are Causing Global Warming Yet Belief In Climate Change Continues To Depend On Political Beliefs Above All Else

It is no secret that belief in climate change in America is strongly divided along party lines, a fact we were reminded of in last weeks Republican leadership debates. The relationship was assessed in an experiment by Dan Kahan published in Advances in Political Psychology earlier this year, which demonstrated that there exists an extremely bizarre paradox that is as mind bending as it is troubling. Believe it or not, the more Republicans know about science, the less likely they are to believe in climate change.;

The Ordinary Science Intelligence measure which runs across the bottom of the graphs above measures how likely someone is to answer tests of scientific knowledge and reasoning correctly. For example, someone with an average Ordinary Science Intelligence score has a 70% chance of giving the correct answer to the simple scientific question âelectrons are smaller than atoms â true or falseâ. Someone would have to be a full standard deviation below average to be more likely than not to get this question wrong.

As the graph above shows, a Democrat with an average level of scientific understanding has an 80% chance of believing in global warming, while the equivalent Republican has only a 20% chance. Astonishingly, this number falls even further as Republicansâ scientific literacy increases.

Neither I Nor Any Christian I Knew Really Worried About Things Like Pollution Global Warming Climate Change Or Any Of The Other Seemingly Apocalyptic Scenarios Put Forth By The Scientific Community I Thought I Had Insider Information About The End Of The World And It Had Nothing To Do With Climate Change

When it comes to Christian eschatology, there are numerous end-times scenarios embraced by evangelicals. The details may change but the main plot rarely does. In general, there are three main theories: Premillennialism, Postmillennialism, and Amillennialism. The first posits that the end of time will bring a tribulation of suffering, that Jesus will return, and that Christians will be raptured, which is when Jesus takes the faithful back up to heaven with him. Within this theory are two types: pre-tribbers and post-tribbers. Pre-tribbers believe that true Christians will be raptured first and that seven years of hellish suffering brought by the Antichrist will follow, after which Jesus will return again to rule over the earth for the remainder of the Great Tribulation and give people one more chance to reject him before destroying the world. Post-tribbers contend that Christians wont be raptured until the tribulation ends and must evangelize during this time.

Postmillennialism holds that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will happen after a thousand years of relative peace on earth made possible by the practice of Christian ethics, at which time final judgment and the Rapture will occur and the world will end.

The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

A Majority Of Republicans Say They Support Policies To Mitigate Climate Change

Percentage of Republicans in each congressional district who agree thatwe should regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant

National average:57%

A majority of Republicans in almost every congressional district support regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant, even when they dont believe those emissions are causing climate change.

That may seem like a paradox, but theres a long history of support among people of all partisan backgrounds for regulating pollution basic things like clean water and clean air, Professor Egan said. To the extent global warming is framed that way, it raises support for policy interventions more than the abstract concept of climate change.

Despite this majority support, Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, has worked to repeal Obama-era policies regulating power plant emissions. He has also raised questions over whether his agency should be regulating greenhouse gases at all.

Bob Inglis, a former Republican congressman from South Carolina who is working to get others in his party to accept climate change, said that Republicans are often willing to embrace solutions, even if they say they dont believe in climate change.

It doesnt help to point the finger at conservatives and ask, Do you believe? he said. By showing me a solution that fits with my values, Ive got a way to accept the existence of the problem.

Yet Half Of Republicans Say That Climate Change Is Happening With Strongest Support On The Coasts And In Places Where Climate Effects Are Now Being Felt

Percentage of Republicans in each congressional district who say that global warming is happening

National average:50%

Climate views at the local level tend to reflect where liberal and moderate Republicans live compared to conservative Republicans,said Patrick J. Egan, a professor of politics and public policy at New York University. So its no surprise that Republicans in major cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and New York are most likely to say climate change is happening.

But, there are also tantalizing hints that geographic vulnerability to climate change may affect opinion, Professor Egan said.

For example, in south Florida, an area vulnerable to sea level rise and increased risk of extreme weather, an estimated 56 percent of Republicans agree that climate change is happening. A majority of Republicans in both Alaska and Hawaii say the same.

Nearly Nine In 10 Foresee Global Warming Effects Eventually Occurring

Why Climate Change Denial Still Exists In The U.S.

In addition to the 59% of Americans who believe the effects of global warming have already begun, another 10% predict they will start happening within a few years or in their own lifetime. A further 19% foresee the effects affecting future generations, bringing the total who believe global warming will eventually affect humans to 88%. Most Americans across all demographic groups expect this, including large majorities of Republicans and independents , and nearly all Democrats .

Still, there is variation across groups in the belief that the effects of global warming have already begun, a view that may be more relevant to the propensity for people to be politically active or factor it into their voting. Democrats , adults aged 18 to 34 , college graduates , non-White Americans and women are significantly more likely than their counterparts to say the effects have begun.

Future warming. Since 1997, majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents have believed that the earth will probably be warmer in a century if nothing is done to prevent it. In 2020, 94% of Democrats, 72% of Independents, and 56% of Republicans believe that warming will probably continue in the future. No notable growth has occurred in the partisan gap since 2011.

The climate change denial movement is part and parcel of this larger corporate effort to hinder regulations.14

On Why The Republican Party Has Become Opposed To Taking Action On Climate Change

Why has the Republican Party shifted? I have one answer for you: Money. They have been bought off by the fossil fuel industry. If its a congressman from Virginia, or Mitch McConnell from Kentucky where they have the coal or some of the oil and fracking interest theres a very clear correlation. Theres a reason there’s the phrase follow the money. Because if you do, you will see that the voting correlates with those major contributors to the Republican party, and most of them happen to be in the fossil fuel regions of our country.

Responding To Climate Denial

An Irish Times article notes that climate denial “is not simply overcome by reasoned argument”, because it is not a rational response. Attempting to overcome denial using techniques of persuasive argument, such as supplying a missing piece of information, or providing general scientific education may be ineffective. A person who is in denial about climate is most likely taking a position based on their feelings, especially their feelings about things they fear.

Lewandowsky has stated that “It is pretty clear that fear of the solutions drives much opposition to the science.”

It can be useful to respond to emotions, including with the statement “It can be painful to realise that our own lifestyles are responsible”, in order to help move “from denial to acceptance to constructive action.”

Whats In The Pipeline

The annual carbon footprint from new oil and gas facilities in Texas and other Gulf states could be as high as 541 million tons of greenhouse gases by 2030the equivalent of 131 coal-fired power plants.

The industry was dramatically out of favor at the moment, in most every corner of the investing and political world, he said, and it needed urgently to adapt. At its most basic level, I think we can all agree that having less CO2 emissions in the atmosphere would be a good thingand as Houstons business leaders, we need to be committed to working to make that happen.;

For skeptics inclined to think the change in rhetoric was just a PR move, Staples for one was ready to oblige. Two days after his call with reporters, he went on the public radio show the Texas Standard to clean up his spill. It seemed as if he had intended to signal a change in messaging but was surprised by how seriously everyone had taken it. I think the term climate change has been hijacked. I think its been used to unfortunately introduce climate hysteria or climate confusion. I think the term is used in such a way to confuse the public that the sky is falling in, he said.;

Of course, theres something a little ridiculous about parsing statements from oil and gas trade groups at a time when Australia and the Amazon are burning. Theres a kind of recurrent amnesia that paints climate change as a perennially new problem, an issue that is just reaching critical mass of awareness.;

Emotional And Psychological Aspects

Florida State Senator Tom Lee has described the emotional impact and reactions of individuals to climate change. Lee says, “If these predictions do bear out,;that it’s just economically daunting. I mean, you have to be the Grim Reaper of reality in a world that isn’t real fond of the Grim Reaper. That’s why I use the term emotionally shut down, because I think you lose people at hello a lot of times in the Republican conversation over this.” Emotional reactions to climate change may include guilt, fear, anger, and apathy. Psychology Today, in an article titled “The Existential Dread of Climate Change, has suggested that “despair about our changing climate may get in the way of fixing it.” The American Psychological Association has urged psychologists and other social scientists to work on psychological barriers to taking action on climate change.

Resident Alien Showrunner Unpacks the Finale’s Big Reveals

https://ift.tt/3m82JqI

The first season of Syfy’s comedy-drama series Resident Alien is like the plot of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial — if, before returning home, E.T. was a surly, not incredibly lovable being, who wanted to kill all humans, and tormented Elliott. So maybe not like E.T. But in tonight’s finale, the alien posing as human Harry Vanderspeigle does finally head back to his world.

However, Harry’s departure from the planet and Patience, Colorado, ends up not being as simple as the Reese’s-loving alien’s. Instead, Harry (Alan Tudyk) ultimately abandons his mission to wipe out humanity in the interest of saving his friend Asta (Sara Tomko). He also attracts even more attention from the extra-government agents led by Linda Hamilton’s General Wright, discovers young Max (Judah Prehn) has stowed away on his ship, and he left all that pizza back on Earth.

Resident Alien: Inside That Hair-Raising Cameo

By Aaron Sagers

Even though alien Harry manages to get rid of the pesky corpse of the real Harry — right before his farewell to Patience pizza montage set to “Our Town” by Iris DeMent — we’re not yet done with that story. In the finale’s pre-credits shocker, it’s revealed in flashback the human Dr. Vanderspeigle is who really killed Dr. Sam, which set the series events in motion. (The scene of Mayor Ben and Kate kicking agent ass to the tune of Dr. Hook’s “Spending the Night Together” is also pretty shocking, but satisfying.)

Season 2 of Resident Alien has been confirmed, but when it returns, our Harry is going to have to deal with the Not Men In Black, the past of the real Harry, the fact that Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv (Corey Reynolds, and Elizabeth Bowen) are closing in, and the fallout of failing his mission to destroy mankind — which might lead to some ticked-off family back home (not to mention the other aliens of his race on earth, such as the octopus voiced by Nathan Fillion).

Thankfully, show creator and executive producer Chris Sheridan joined Den of Geek to unpack what the finale means, and how it sets the stage for the next season of Resident Alien.

Den of Geek: Before we get into the finale, last week Harry encountered the Alien Hunter, played by Terry O’Quinn, who is a high caliber guest star. Were you laying the groundwork to do more with him next season?

Chris Sheridan: We would be lucky to have Terry O’Quinn come back. There’s more to be done with that character. There’s a reason we started the episode the way we did [with a flashback to New York City in 1991, when his unborn child is abducted]. What we’d like to do is create a little bit of backstory that sort of lingers there until we find a time that we could go back to it. At this point, what we’ve set up is the only person he knows of that might be able to answer the questions that he has is Harry Vanderspeigle. I’d like a scenario in which he comes back if we can make that happen.

Where are you in the process of plotting the second season?

I’m just starting now. I have a bunch of ideas in my head that naturally popped up while plotting the first season. But I just finished post-production of the first season a couple of weeks ago. So I haven’t had a chance to really dig into it, but I’m going to start very soon trying to figure out what that second season is.

The reveal that the real Harry killed Sam Hodges was a big surprise. Was that plotted from the beginning?

That was the plan from day one. When I pitched the show, I pitched that concept and Alan was the only actor that knew it before reading the tenth script. At the beginning of the pilot, when Harry’s in the living room, and the door opens up with what we find out now was the alien coming in, he grabs the poker and he says, “Who’s in here?” I told him the real story: The real Harry Vanderspeigle just killed Sam Hodges, and thinks the person or something that came in the house is related to that. Is it the people who got him to do it, or were involved in that somehow, and he thinks they’re there to sort of take you out now as well?

Does this all connect to why the real Harry left New York City?

It’s all tied into what Harry was involved in. The way I structured the first two seasons in a general sense was the first season would be about who killed Sam Hodges, and the search for that, and then the second season would be about why. I want to explore, in the second season, the town story. Why did he do it? What was going on in the town? What was going on behind the scenes that we didn’t see, that we didn’t know about.

You also set up a larger world here with Linda Hamilton, and these not-quite Men In Black. Are you expanding the scope of the show for the second season?

I would say no. These shows are sort of living organic creatures, and you have to feed them in the way they want to be fed. If things aren’t working, you pivot and go towards something that works. The balance of the show is working pretty well right now, so I don’t want to put aside the balance, and go away from the town stories to go more into the government. The balance is working pretty well, so I’m going to try to keep the balance the way it is.

Which is not to say that the government story is over.

I always saw the show as trying to thread two storylines through the whole thing. One is the town’s storyline which is. If the alien never arrived, this town story would play out and would be interesting to watch. And then I have the alien story, which is Harry’s journey. What I always want to have in the show is the alien story playing at the same time that the town’s story is playing, and how those two intermingle, and Harry’s journey towards learning what it’s like to be human. I definitely want to move forward with the government story. And I would love to have Linda Hamilton back. She is amazing, but I think the balance right now is working pretty well.

We know Nathan Fillion’s Octopus alien is on earth. And the folks back home on Harry’s planet are probably going to find out he failed in his mission. Harry spoke a couple times about karma in this episode, so might more of his people, or even other aliens, enter the scene?

Your instincts are very good. It’s a natural way to go, isn’t it? Whether it’s season 2 or not, I can’t tell you mainly because I don’t know yet. If it’s going to be in the show, there’s a perfect time for that to happen. I can’t honestly tell you I know it’s the perfect time for that as yet … But look, I’m with you. In writing the show, and running it, and I’m part of it as a fan as well, I want the coolest thing to happen. And that is a move that would make sense, you’d think.

Can you tease how the dynamics between characters might change as more people learn about Harry, and the story evolves?

There’s a new relationship that’s going to happen between Dan and Harry because now Dan knows who he is. So there’s someone else that Harry can talk to. The advantage of having a couple more people know is I can get away from the voiceover a little bit, and go into more conversations that Harry has with people about humanity.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Which means Harry, despite his choice not to kill all humans, has not fully embraced his humanity?

When Harry feels completely human and understands what it’s like to be human, I think the show’s over. What’s fun about the show is Harry being uncomfortable with [humanity], Harry not knowing what it’s like to be human, Harry acting like a 10 year-old, and being confused about it, and Harry still having contempt for humans. One thing I have to be careful about is making sure that Harry’s journey towards full self-reflection and awareness of his own humanity doesn’t go too fast. He’s one foot in, one foot out. He’s not a 100 percent sure he’s not going to kill everybody. Where we left it at the end of Episode 10 is, he still wants to kill everyone. He just knows he can’t because then he’d have to kill Asta too. She’s the one person he doesn’t want to kill.

WSR unveils new-look BMW livery for 2021 BTCC season

The reigning BTCC Teams’ title winners has unveiled a revised colour scheme once again featuring a matte black base livery highlighted by factory BMW M stripes.

This season the squad will return to fielding three BMW 330i M cars with four-time champion Colin Turkington and Tom Oliphant joined by new signing Stephen Jelley from Team Parker Racing.

Last season the factory BMW squad equalled the series’ all-time record of five consecutive Manufacturers’ crowns, bringing WSR to a total of 14 BTCC championship successes.

The cars will break cover in their revised colours during a pre-season test at Brands Hatch on 23 March.

This comes after a test at Silverstone last week where the team bedded in upgrades to its cars ahead of the new season.

“It’s been an intensive winter for WSR and Team BMW, but despite the 2020 season concluding a month later than we’re used to, we’ve still been able to work through a comprehensive development programme for the BMW 330i M Sport, said team principal Dick Bennetts.

“We began our 2021 test programme at Silverstone last week and were pleased to see that most of the upgrades we’ve added to the car have had the desired effect.

“The new livery, created by Nick Moss Designs, looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see all three cars in formation when we continue our pre-season testing at Brands Hatch next week.”

Meanwhile, WSR has been busy in the off season preparing two BMW 330i M touring cars for customer team Ciceley Motorsport.

The cars, to be driven by Tom Chilton and Adam Morgan, hit the track for the first time yesterday during a test day at Donington Park.

The 2021 BTCC season is set to commence at Thruxton on 8-9 May having confirmed further tweaks to its schedule on Monday.

Talking the End of Days with Pale Grey Lore

With the release of their new record 'Eschatology' (2019) on Small Stone Records, Doomed & Stoned caught up with Pale Grey Lore frontman Michael Miller to talk about the Doomsday Clock and apocalyptic riffs....

Photo by Tristan Weary

I’m intrigued by the title of the new album, “Eschatology.” Being a P.K. myself (preacher’s kid) it had been a while since I’d heard it used. What does the word signify and how did you come to be inspired by the concept for this album?

Eschatological doctrine lays out a particular religion’s conception of the ultimate fate of humankind and how the world is destined to end. It typically includes a salvation narrative which is designed to tie up pesky philosophical loose ends like the problem of how there could possibly be an all-good, all-powerful deity who allows so much unnecessary suffering to occur in the world. The standard line is that, despite appearances, all this suffering is actually part of some kind of divine plan for cosmic justice, and when the world ends as prophesied, everything will be sorted out in some kind of eternal hereafter.

Nobody in the band is religious at all, but we all grew up in (more or less) Catholic families, so these ideas are familiar enough. And although I’m highly skeptical of the idea of salvation or the prospect of an afterlife, the end-of-the-world aspect of eschatological doctrine struck me as particularly fitting given the way we’re marching toward impending climate disaster under late capitalism.

Artwork by Adam Eckley

It seems like we’ve had a kind of love-affair with the idea of apocalypse and living in a post-apocalyptic world for at least three or four decades, ever since Mad Max captured the popular imagination. How inevitable is an “apocalyptic” event in humanity’s future, do you think?

Recently, we’ve seen increasingly dire warnings about what the planet is in for over the next few decades (see the IPCC report from last October and if that doesn’t rattle you, go ahead and search “Deep Adaptation”). The fossil fuel industry has known about the coming climate catastrophe and how to prevent it since 1977. It’s still unreal to me to think about that.

Instead of sounding the alarm and fundamentally changing how they operate, corporations did everything in their power to suppress that information and sow public doubt about the link between carbon emissions and climate change. When scientists finally convinced the public that climate change was real, corporations cleverly dodged responsibility by pushing the false narrative that individual consumer choice was the real problem, rather than the structural dependence on fossil fuels that they imposed on us without our informed consent.

Meanwhile, the Doomsday Clock moves closer and closer to midnight as nuclear non-proliferation treaties continue to expire without being renewed and states race to develop deadly new weapons. What happens when coastal regions are inundated by rising seas, food production takes a nosedive, and we find ourselves in the midst of the worst global refugee crisis in human history?

It’s difficult not to feel powerless in the face of these realizations. For me, the best and most appropriate reaction is creative expression. So that’s really what the whole concept of the album is all about. Weaving a fictional narrative that explores these themes in a fantastical context provides a sense of control and an opportunity for catharsis. It’s in some ways escapist, but it’s also deeply rooted in reality.

Eschatology by Pale Grey Lore

Can you take a moment to walk us through each of the tracks and draw out any themes or points of interest (e.g. background, composition, recording, performing, etcetera).

Like the first album, each song on ‘Eschatology’ is a sort of vignette--a brief (though not necessarily temporally adjacent) episode in the grand timeline of our concept world.

Album opener “Sunken Cities” is told from the perspective of the survivors in the aftermath of the greatest and most destructive war the planet has ever seen. “Greed Springs Eternal” depicts disaster capitalism and unaccountable oligarchy in a flashback to the pre-war era. On “Before the Fall,” revolutionaries who resisted corporate neo-feudalism in the final days of the empire struggle to cope with nuclear winter. Flashing back in time again, “Regicide” depicts an assassination attempt that, had it succeeded, could have radically altered the course of history. The final track of side A, “Waiting for the Dawn,” is a morbidly romantic number that takes place after the nuclear winter is over and the surface finally becomes (more or less) habitable again.

Side B kicks off with “The Rift,” which describes the reality-warping arrival of cosmic horrors that feed on entropy, attracted to destruction and suffering like moths to a flame. We flash back to the great war on “Void-Cursed,” with the ruling elites fleeing into space as the planet burns behind them. “Silent Command” depicts the fate of unwary travellers who stumble across the strange towers that appear across the landscape once the cosmic rift has closed. “Undermined” is part of the liturgy of a pre-war religious sect that started out critical of the rapacious oligarchy but later transformed into an accelerationist death-cult. And finally, the title track “Eschatology” is a nihilistic sermon from the death-cult’s high priest urging his followers (who are largely members of the ruling elite) to achieve salvation by actively doing whatever they can to make things worse.

Film by Cleveland Underground Scene

What was the studio experience like for you this time around? Did you find it refined any of the songs written or that it brought more cohesion to the album as a whole?

Like the first album, Eschatology was recorded and mixed by our friend Andy Sartain at his Columbus home studio. Andy is very chill and always creates a relaxed and supportive environment, which is what you want if you are trying to coax the best possible performance out of a band. One big change from the first album is that in the interim we added a new member, our guitarist Xander, who went to college for audio engineering. His background in music production was immensely valuable and made a huge impact on the record.

We definitely didn’t rush the recording process on this one. I think the fact that we took our time with it definitely helped create more cohesion. We did the initial live tracking of drums, bass, and rhythm guitar in early December and spent the next month and a half doing the overdubs and adding layers. Some of the newer songs that we hadn’t really played live much only developed into their final forms in the studio environment after we were able to hear some early playback. Even the songs we had played a good amount live benefitted from the extra layers and dimensions we were able to add in the studio. The time spent in the studio really was a kind of final capstone component to the songwriting for us.

What are some of the tools of the trade that you’re using to produce your sound?

Adam plays a Gretsch drum kit and uses Zildjian K Custom cymbals. Donovan plays a Rickenbacker bass through an Ampeg V4b and an early 70s Sunn cab. Xander runs a Vox AC30 and an Orange Dual Terror and primarily plays a modded Fender Strat. I run two late 60s Sunn amps and alternate between a Gibson SG and an Epiphone Casino Coupe hollowbody, both with P-90s. We have many, many pedals. We also have a theremin.

You recently played Ohio Doomed & Stoned Festival. What are some of the things you do to ensure that your live sound comes across just the way you want it to?

Ohio Doomed & Stoned Festival was an absolute blast. I was very happy to help fest organizer Dan Simone (of the killer Cleveland band Black Spirit Crown) put together the lineup. Last year was the first year we did the fest, and it was a great success. This year was even better, and I’m sure the best is yet to come. Ohio has so many great heavy underground rock bands, and this fest is one of the best showcases of that talent. As anyone who plays heavy music knows, we need to be pretty loud to do our thing properly. That doesn’t translate well in some spaces and sometimes the person running sound at a venue is inexperienced or just doesn’t know how to work with heavy music.

What do you see are some of the common mistakes bands make when translating their songs to the stage?

As far as advice for up and coming bands goes, I would say the best way to ensure that you sound decent live is to practice your ass off beforehand so that even if you can’t hear anything on stage, you still play well because of the muscle memory.

Memorial Day Travel Surge to Test Airports, Airlines

U.S. airline-passenger numbers are forecast to average as many as two million a day through the Memorial Day holiday, testing the ability of airlines and airports to handle infrequent and, in some cases, unruly, fliers.

While domestic air-travel numbers last Christmas were only half those in 2019, recent Transportation Security Administration counts have them now hovering around 90% of pre-pandemic levels. The TSA screened 1.9 million passengers last Sunday, a 14-month high.

Bookings from leisure travelers heading to the beaches and mountains picked up in March and accelerated in recent weeks, airline executives said at an industry conference this week.

“The surge in travel is just now starting to happen,” said Frontier Airlines’ chief executive, Barry Biffle. “Memorial Day is going to be big; the Fourth of July is going to be crazy.”

Many holiday-weekend travelers are infrequent fliers, and now some are coming back after more than a year of staying close to home. American Airlines Group Inc., AAL -0.78% the world’s largest carrier, said a third of its passengers typically take only one trip a year.

The first of the year’s four big holiday-travel periods comes as the industry faces a rise in onboard incidents often driven by disputes over mask-wearing. Tensions over masks––which are still required on public transportation through the fall––are exacerbated by the return to busier flights and airports, airline executives and union officials have said.

Many passengers haven’t been in an airport or a crowd for a year or more and will encounter new health-focused technologies.

Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson started a town hall this week with a warning for passengers to behave. The agency has received more than 2,500 reports linked to disorderly-passenger conduct this year, the majority of them linked to passengers refusing to comply with the mask policy.

“We’ve never seen numbers like this before,” said Mr. Dickson at the event.

The FAA has extended into September a zero-tolerance policy introduced in January that subjects passengers who flout safety rules to fines and possible jail time, rather than the prior system of warnings.

American will extend the suspension of alcohol sales in the main cabin of its jets through mid-September, the airline told flight attendants in a memo on Saturday, citing onboard incidents over the past week.

Southwest Airlines Co. LUV -0.44% said Friday that it would put on hold its plans to resume serving alcoholic drinks on flights to Hawaii next month and on other flights in July, citing an industrywide uptick in passenger disruptions. Carriers restricted food and beverage offerings during the pandemic, but some have started taking steps to restore service this summer, including alcohol.

Mask wearing and other rules in ever-busier airports and aircraft is just one element of fliers’ changing travel experience, especially as the industry institutes a wider range of distancing and hygiene measures.

Many passengers haven’t been in an airport or a crowd for a year or more, leaving their in-flight routines rusty at best. They will encounter new health-focused technologies at airports such as those in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Miami in Florida—the destinations of the country’s three busiest routes in May. Airports and airlines have been testing new health protocols for a year in an effort to preserve social distancing and prevent viral spread.

Touchless screens abound for check-in and tagging bags, while the TSA has accelerated the rollout of new carry-on scanners at checkpoints.

Startups, governments and nonprofits are racing to create so-called “vaccine passports,” or digital health passes aimed at helping people travel and safely move around in public. WSJ explains what it would take to get a global digital health pass system off the ground. Illustration: Zoë Soriano

Though designed to ensure social distancing, the new technologies can worsen crowding as passengers pull up apps and try to scan QR codes, said George Merritt, head of strategic operations at Denver International Airport.

Passengers are also having to navigate what might have been touch screens on their last trip. Now, some airports have introduced “happy hover” screens to check in and print boarding passes and bag tags that require passengers to hold their fingers over digital buttons.

“People don’t touch the screen the same way. It’s not been a complete success,” said Dave Wilson, director of innovation at the Port of Seattle, which operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The airport also rolled out a smartphone-based appointment system for passengers to book a time to pass through security in an effort to end recent congestion. When passenger numbers picked up last month, security lines stretched into the parking lot.

Mr. Wilson said the port is looking at how such appointments could be introduced elsewhere, including for boarding planes and collecting bags. While such measures could ease lines, they may also add to congestion due to passengers’ unfamiliarity.

“Changing passenger behavior is difficult. People still like to congregate,” said Frank Barich, president of Barich Inc., an Arizona-based airport consultant.

Officials at the TSA, which was born out of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, said they have already accelerated technology planned before the pandemic, such as new baggage scanners, and plan to have sufficient staffing in place for the rising passenger volumes.

Dan McCoy, the TSA’s chief innovation officer, said: “The Covid-19 crisis is really going to be the second thing that shapes the way we operate going forward.”

Hungarian Grand Prix preview: 3-way fight in Budapest?

Target on… Can Ferrari strike back again?

Mercedes heads to Hungary in fine variety, owning received 3 of the past 4 races. Soon after an inconsistent commence, the Silver Arrows appear to have experienced the edge above a Ferrari team that has not tasted the winners champagne since May’s Monaco Grand Prix. A lot more alarmingly for the Scuderia, Mercedes has now recorded 2 times as lots of victories this year as the outfit clad in all purple. Is this a indication that Mercedes understands the problems it faced with its complex W08 earlier in the yr and has now stolen a march on its rivals in the growth race? Or has the German manufacturer’s upturn in effects been down to a operate of circuits that satisfies its 2017 challenger much better than Ferrari’s?

It has likely been a circumstance of both. Having regularly claimed that Ferrari experienced the very best auto earlier in the yr, Lewis Hamilton explained the groups were being stage on functionality subsequent his British Grand Prix triumph. On the other hand, Sebastian Vettel thinks Mercedes even now holds an benefit because of to its qualifying engine modes, which has observed the team electric power to 8 pole positions as opposed to Ferrari’s two. The reigning planet champions look to have observed a operate-all around for its more time wheelbase style and design — which damage the team in Monaco — as nicely as heat-up-similar problems with regards to tyre functionality, specifically with receiving Pirellis softest compound, the ultra-smooth, into the exceptional performing assortment on both front and rear axles.

Mercedes dominated at Silverstone very last time out as Ferrari wrecked its tyres, which will be a lead to for problem for the Italian outfit, especially as its late tyre drama permitted Hamilton to close to inside of a one issue of Vettel in the championship. Despite Mercedes’ amazing variety of late, Toto Wolff has warned his team towards starting to be complacent, and totally expects a resurgence from its primary rival this weekend. Hungary’s substantial ambient temperatures and character of the Hungaroring’s structure means overheating can turn into a frequent issue in Budapest, although the restricted and twisty sectors of the circuit could possibly much better match Ferrari’s shorter, lighter, and more nimble SF70-H. Hungary could nicely deliver Ferrari with the probability to conclusion its two-thirty day period absence from the top step of the podium.

Pink Bull in the combine

One more issue in the location of this year’s title fight comes in the form of Pink Bull. Having lagged behind rivals Ferrari and Mercedes at the commencing of the year immediately after failing to crack 2017’s aerodynamic regulation adjustments, the Milton Keynes-based outfit has been encouraged by its performances at new grands prix. While it could be argued Pink Bull relatively lucked into its initial victory of the yr in Baku, the team confirmed further promising signals in Austria and Britain. Ricciardo finished just six seconds behind leading duo Bottas and Vettel at the Pink Bull Ring — a observe which the team has notably struggled at since its return to the calendar in 2014.

While its functionality at Silverstone was not as amazing as in Spielberg, it was skewed by Ricciardo’s auto failure in qualifying and gearbox penalty, which still left the Australian at the incredibly back again of the grid. Ricciardo confirmed stellar speed on Sunday, nevertheless, as he recovered from the back again not at the time but 2 times to end fifth, one place behind teammate Max Verstappen, who experienced to make a late pit cease to prevent a tyre failure. Pink Bull has closed the hole to Ferrari and Mercedes substantially as the year has progressed and an envisioned update this weekend must enable improve downforce concentrations at a circuit which ordinarily performs to Pink Bull’s strengths. If it can carry on to make positive strides in the 2nd 50 % of the yr, Pink Bull could nicely be mixing it up at the front.

Championship leader Vettel noticed his wholesome 20-issue benefit at the top of the drivers’ standings pre-Silverstone lowered to just a one issue at the British Grand Prix, which marked the 50 %-way phase of the 2017 marketing campaign. Hamilton dominated to score a document-equalling victory and delight in a 19-issue swing in his favour, aided by Ferrari’s late tyre troubles. Because gracing the top step of the podium at the Monaco Grand Prix in Could, Vettel has scored just forty eight details as opposed to Bottas’ seventy nine and Hamilton’s seventy two, although Ricciardo has also outscored the German by 17 details. Vettel will be desperate to return to winning means and restore his benefit above Hamilton in the championship in advance of the summer season split.

In need of details

Jolyon Palmer finds himself listed here for the third race functioning. At the time yet again the Englishman arrives at a grand prix weekend underneath heaps of tension, although speculation above his future refuses to go away. Palmer was desperately unlucky not to be ready to even try to capitalise on his joint-very best qualifying of the year, thanks to a hydraulics leak on the formation of the British Grand Prix. Luckless Sunday apart, and irrespective of exhibiting glimpses of assure in new weekends, Palmer has to commence bringing property the effects shortly — with Renault stating that a double details end in Hungary is “significant”. And to incorporate to the tension, Robert Kubica will take a look at Palmer’s auto on Wednesday as Renault analyse irrespective of whether he has the opportunity to make a full-time return.

Considering Mercedes’ variety above the past 4 races and Hamilton’s commanding exhibit at Silverstone, coupled with his document in Hungary, it is really hard to search past the Briton for victory. Hamilton is the most thriving driver at the Hungaroring, owning received there five occasions as nicely as professing five pole positions. He could match Michael Schumacher’s all-time pole document of 68 this weekend, and if that is just not ample motivation for the Mercedes driver, a sixth Hungarian Grand Prix acquire would see him choose the guide of the championship for the initial time this year.

Betting

Hamilton is favorite to document his sixth victory in Budapest at five/6, in advance of Vettel and Mercedes teammate Bottas. People 3 drivers are also backed to lock-out the podium, with the Pink Bull’s of Verstappen and Ricciardo both observed at thirteen/eight to end on the rostrum. The bookies have a 4-way tie for which driver is most likely to retire initial, with Fernando Alonso, Stoffel Vandoorne, Lance Stroll and Palmer all favorite at ten/one.

Weather

Other than a 20 percent probability of rainfall on Friday, this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix is envisioned to be usually sizzling and sunny. Even with a slight probability of rain, Friday must even now see temperatures reaching 27 degrees Celsius, which is forecast to increase to 29 degrees Celsius for qualifying on Saturday. A scattering of clouds is likely on race working day, even though temperatures must arrive at a weekend-peak of 32 degrees Celsius.

Tyres

Readily available compounds: Medium, smooth, super-smooth

Tyre points, courtesy of Pirelli:

• The Hungaroring is an unremitting sequence of corners, with the tyres continuously performing.

• Hungary made some of the most popular observe temperatures of 2016 immediately after a damp Saturday: two stops was the winning system very last yr.

• Teams operate very substantial downforce concentrations to maximise corner speeds but emphasis is one mechanical instead than aerodynamic grip.

• In the past, we have observed that safety autos can impact race system in Hungary.

• There is certainly only one genuine straight, that means the tyres do not get substantially probability to interesting down.

• Overtaking is notoriously difficult, putting the emphasis on qualifying and system.

• Managing and agility are vital to a quick lap instead than outright electric power.

Mario Isola, head of auto racing: “The observe was resurfaced in time for very last year’s grand prix and it will be attention-grabbing to see the influence of this adjust one yr on, as the new asphalt matures. We recognized very last yr that it was smoother and frequently speedier than the earlier surface. The team’s tyre choices have leaned in favour of smooth and supersoft, so we certainly be expecting that to variety the basis of their techniques.

“Hungary is ordinarily a race exactly where system will make the change, also due to the fact of the issue of overtaking, so the info assortment method on Friday and Saturday must be even more crucial than regular with this manufacturer-new era of speedier autos.”
