Nothing Else Matters

I sent my friend Dave Kinnaman Hanna Arendt’s famous book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Study in the Banality of Evil.  Dave became so engrossed in Arendt’s history of the Holocaust and her philosophy of murder that I then sent him an Israeli documentary of the Eichmann’s trial called The Specialist by director Eyal Sivan. Using original footage of the trial, Sivan reconstructs Arendt’s arguments of why the trial was a failure though it still rendered justice, and through her work she constructed a theory of how the Shoah occurred. Join Dave and I as we sift through the darkest part of the 20th Century using Sivan’s sly masterpiece of truth and Arendt’s arresting idea that the worst mass murderers use droll paperwork instead of bullets.

Malcolm McDowell talks Caligula on WTF

The arguments against Dune are numerous, but the one Mike White of The Projection Booth podcast puts forth in his commentary track might be the most compelling one for. White has an affinity for Herbert’s books and Lynch’s movie and brings an educated eye to each frame with background from the books, the production, the various drafts of the screenplay, etc. It’s film scholasticism with a healthy dose of appreciation.

White loves Dune and wants you to love Dune too. And I must admit, his appreciation is intoxicating. There are many aspects of Dune that work: The pustules pocking the Baron’s face, for instance, are positively repulsive, and MacLachlan’s performance as Paul somewhat paves the way for FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in its earnestness and calculation.

The end product of feeling sentimental, hopeful, worried, and disquieted at the same time.  I felt successful on a personal level.

This Is What it Feels Like

Do you remember the Gimp Scene in Pulp Fiction?(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3UyjlaBMcY)


Synopsis:
In a Pawnshop under the stairs is a basement like dungeon full of S&M toys, from ball gags to clamps.
The pet of Maynard & Zed, The Gimp. Who is a willing plaything caged in a box in a leash comes out to play security for Butch as Marsellus Wallace gets taken away into another room awaiting unknown pain.

Get ready for long rock-hard pulsating sexy synth sounds, along with Sodomy type beats to go with the Masochistic moog & fetish like atmosphere. Prepare to get off to my next track.
