We ordered 3 Kenneth Cole Reaction Men's Grey 2-piece Suits for a wedding. All the suits had a nice fabric feel and were comfortable to wear. The sizing chart helped greatly in ordering the correct size. All the suits fit to perfection!
Love, love, love the suit!. Fabric was of excellent quality.
You would be crazy to get a suit anywhere else. I had to wear this suit in Vegas for a work event and got compliments all night. One dealer said "I'm sure your old enough because no one under 21 could afford that suit." If I had to wear suits all the time I would buy all of them on here.
The suit is very nice and presentable and the price is perfect
I would recommend overstock to anyone that needed to buy a suit. I saved a lot of money on the suit I bought.
Great quality and value for the price! Jacket runs small. Great costumer service in handling change to larger size.
Suit fits perfectly! Exactly how it was described. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Greta Suit. The Fit and quality was exactly as expected
Wonderful suit, but it should be labeled as a Slim Fit. All members of my wedding party had to order one size larger than normal. Otherwise, an excellent product and value.

CSO GTZ Armed Conflict and Trafficking in Women
Oct 05 2010
Download right click "save as"
Trafficking of women during and after armed conflict is a gender-based human rights violation and criminal activity. Important contributing factors are the economic vulnerability of women, the existence of war and post-war economies built on criminal activities, and the lack of an accountable justice system which leads to impunity of the perpetrators of gender-based violence. For understanding the links between trafficking in women and armed conflict a gendered analysis of conflict and post-conflict rebuilding is useful.
This study is based on the analysis of reports of international governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as newspaper articles and academic publications. In addition, experts and representatives of different NGOs and international organizations were interviewed. More information about human trafficking on the website of GTZ.

Along with all the 2013 listicles hypothesizing what will happen in 2013 and how 2012 differed from 2011 we were greeted with articles warming our hearts on investment, and how 2012 was a big year for venture capital.
The Upstart Business Journal reported that from 2011 to 2012, VC funding grew nationally by 10 percent. From $18.7 billion to $20.6 billion. However, while the amount of investment went up, there were fewer venture-backed deals.
This typically shows that either excitement in the market grew, which could arguably be tied to Facebook's pre-IPO months, or that more promising companies opened themselves up for funding in 2012.
Since Facebook went public on May 18, 2012, it has been a roller coaster ride, with most analysts calling it the worst IPO in market history. Starting off at $38.23 a share, prices quickly fell, with the lowest point coming in at $17.73 on September 4, 2012.
It's hard to believe that Facebook, the most anticipated IPO in recent history, would have such dismal numbers, but it came from the lack of evidence they presented to turning a profit. Where were they going to make the money?
With this in mind, it's hard to imagine 2012 was the best year for IPOs since 2000. Facebook lead the new wave of companies going public, and while they opened today at around $31, the beginning of the roller coaster ride was severely undervalued.
It was not just a year for VC and IPOs, however. Amazon chalked in a record setting year with its highest priced shares. In the last 12 months, Amazon has seen its shares rise nearly 50 percent. They also recorded their best holiday season to date.
So after all this data, and the ability to see that the market is doing pretty well, what does this have to do with Minnesota?
According to the BioEnterprise Midwest Healthcare Venture Investment Report, investment in Health IT/Healthcare companies in Minnesota was down 23 percent. In 2011, 24 companies received $223.3 million. Looking at 2012, 17 companies received $164.7 million. And here is the kicker, Minnesota received the second highest amount of money. Trailing behind Ohio, which raised a whopping $291.7 million.
So why the gap? And why, after a year of solid national investment, are we down 23 percent in healthcare companies when it is a hot market? The answer may lie in accelerators.
Minnesota is surprisingly lacking in the number of health accelerators. President Kaler of the University of Minnesota has started a new initiative. Over the course of 10 years, Kaler is offering $20 million in investment to promising University startups. However, this funding is only for U of M students.
Another promising peak at an accelerator is Inceptis LLC., which will specialize in Class II medical devices, which Minnesota has been a leading provider in. But again, having such a tight focus doesn't necessarily allow for broad innovation.
If Minnesota wants to compete with the likes of Ohio, or even on a national scale with its promising healthcare companies, we need to have more accelerators both keeping the talent here and providing incentive.
Now, it seems, is a ripe time to start the debate. Investment is hot, Health IT is blossoming, and Minnesota has the means to secure a leading position in the field. The only real question is who will step up to the plate?

Does the Bible allow or forbid deducing God's will from celestial or weather events, such as meteorite, lightning etc? What does the text of the Bible say on this topic?
closed as not constructive by Caleb♦ Feb 16 at 18:41

That is astrology, which definitely classifies as pagan, occultic, and like sorcery and numerology. Strictly forbidden in the OT and not really talked about in the NT. However, casting lots to make a decision was apparently okay in the disciples minds when they replaced Judas with Matthias in Acts 1. But the disciples were continuously doing and thinking things that Christ had to correct until Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost. Now there are always the personal ways of deducing God's will. Gideon prayed that God make the fleece wet and the ground dry one day and the opposite the next to be sure of God's will to attack the opposing army. Found in Judges 6 and 7. What we actually might make of that I really cannot say. |

Friday, September 23 was the 148th Carp Fair – with headliners being JOE DiFFiE and the one, the only TANYA TUCKER.
To begin – let me say that although it was a dream come true to finally see TUCKER in person, I was also sicker than a dog. I couldn't let my state of exhaustion stop me from getting to see this phenomenal force in country music in person – after all I figured I may never get that chance again!
I've been thinking a lot about TUCKER and her performance Friday night, as it did certainly leave a lasting impression. I am a true fan of her vast catalog of music, which all began in 1972 when a 13 year old girl put out a hit song called DELTA DAWN. TANYA TUCKER stated as much in between songs last night that her career was the stuff dreams were made of. You also get the sense that she loves to look back on those times respectfully – and is someone who still lives and breathes her love of country music. It should also be noted that TUCKER became one of the few child performers to mature into adulthood without losing her audience, and during the course of her career, she notched a streak of Top 10 and Top 40 hits. You also have to appreciate that at the time this 13 year old was making records like WOULD YOU LAY WiTH ME (iN A FiELD OF STONE) – she was doing so alongside many legendary greats of country music, like CASH, MERLE HAGGARD, MEL TiLLiS and GEORGE JONES – all of whom were older and musicians she admired post her own fame.
Keep in mind that my thoughts come from the perspective of a particular TANYA TUCKER fan; I'm familiar with her entire career of music, enjoyed her 1997 tell-all auto biography NiCKEL DREAMS – and I think she was one of the hottest chicks from that NEW BREED of COUNTRY MUSiC that came from the early 1970's. Today I also think she is incredibly underrated; something about seeing her at the Carp Fair solidified this. I'm not unfamiliar with the fact that the music business in general is challenging and fickle. I know TUCKER hasn't necessarily had a hit song in years, nor is she present in today's music market. This aside however I was still mildly disappointed to see the smallish crowd of fans clamor into the arena, most of which were seniors and drunken, middle-aged red necks. I'm sorry – but it's true. What did I expect right? It saddened me ever so slightly – only because TANYA TUCKER iS A LiViNG LEGEND PEOPLE SHOULD APPRECiATE - and she deserves major props. So she's not selling albums like CARRiE UNDERWOOD anymore but mark my word, when TANYA TUCKER goes, so does the end of what I think was a beautiful era of country music. I hope she can get adequate recognition at least once more before that time comes. She should be filling huge arenas.
Listen to me! Perhaps I sound slightly morbid – but I can explain. Part of this rising sentiment comes right from last night's experience seeing her live.
I'm going to start with the positives. First of all – TUCKER performed familiar songs that most fans would expect. From TROUBLE, WALKiNG SHOES, and STRONG ENOUGH TO BEND, her voice remains amazing and this professional knows how to control her vocals impeccably. In fact, there was a moment where she sang OH WHAT iT DiD TO ME when I was so in the 'moment' with her, if you will (I was literally crouched down in front of the stage staring up at her) that I even teared up. Why? Quite frankly the wave of emotion was because she is extraordinary – but also because I recognized the moment as a dream come true. I'll remember that moment forever.
TANYA also possesses a lot of that same old swag she had in the 1970's and 80's. Although not quite in the same physical shape (she is now pushing 53), her ability to move on stage and do so with appeal remind me of the days when tabloids referred to her as a TEXAS TORNADO; notoriously bouncing around Hollywood with the likes of GLEN CAMPBELL, causing a raucous as much for her private life as her professional. I'll always love this aspect of her character.
Finally, what I appreciated between songs and swagger were her candid stories of the golden age of NASHViLLE and country music. Clearly you can tell that TUCKER is as devoted to country and her fans as she ever was. I was reminded of how in NiCKEL DREAMS she spoke very highly of her father BEAU TUCKER – a hard working man who basically broke down doors trying to pitch his young and talented daughter to music executives to get her a record deal. NiCKEL DREAMS informed me she was unique in many ways – but that she did and still does possess much respect for those before her, those who got her where she is – and those relics of country music that informed the singer she became in her own right. This is another aspect of what I love about her.
I was struck with this immediate sense mid-way through her set that TUCKER speaks of such glory days with a hint of sadness and loss. For one thing she was under the weather – even stating as much to the audience. It turns out she would have canceled the show due to a nasty bug but successfully pulled it together in time for Carp Fair. With a few messy starts it was apparent she had not fully recuperated and it only began to show more, at least to me. Then again, I see everything ….
Like I stated, her performances were always point-on. It was within her dialogue she revealed much more. For example, speaking briefly of legendary producer JERRY CRUCHFiELD (producer of her earlier hits) she lamented on how meaningful those earlier experiences were – but also with a strange tinge of sadness, almost mourning. Just having flown in from NASHViLLE, TUCKER also made mention of a visit she made to GLEN CAMPBELL, whom she'll forever be infamously connected with because of their torrid affair in the early 1980's. These stories will always be remembered but when TUCKER talks about CAMPBELL today (CAMPBELL is suffering from Alzheimer's disease) she again does so with a real undercurrent of lonesomeness and difficulty. It's almost as though she wears the pain of accepting the passing of time on her sleeve.
The biggest indication that something is just not right with TANYA TUCKER these days – comes straight from the horse's mouth. TUCKER'S devoted father BEAU passed away not 2 years ago, and before giving a shortened and shaky version of TWO SPARROW iN A HURRiCANE she admitted that this loss hit hard and has ultimately changed her outlook on life, admitting "I've lost my mojo…". It was both touching and … well for me, sad. I had always seen TUCKER as a tough-ass broad with booty and hardiness. Before me however, I was looking at a woman affected by these losses; perhaps watching those who she was ever so close to in her childhood career pass away has exposed her vulnerabilities? This could just be the social worker in me talking…. When I stop to think about it – I suppose I only see this aspect the way I do because not so long ago we lost both my Grandpa Stan and Grandma Mary. It devastated my mother, who said something very similar in regards to losing her mojo – and I know my mom would understand where TUCKER is coming from. I've never lost on that level – but I can't imagine how it would impact me. TUCKER went from a icon – to human in my eyes. In the flesh to boot.
Closing the show with DELTA DAWN the song that started it all, TUCKER sang the infamous opening lines "She's 41 and her Daddy still calls her Baby/ All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy/Cuz she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand/Looking for a mysterious, dark haired man". At one time a 13 year old girl who sang songs telling mythic stories in a reedy voice that belied her age sang about this old crazy broad named Delta Dawn – fast-forward to today and its a 53 year old woman. Themes of loneliness, loss of youth, losing your mind – all run around in my congested mind – and to quote CARRiE BRADSHAW, I couldn't help but wonder – is TANYA TUCKER losing it??? I sincerely hope not. I'm not ready to lose HER yet.
Ultimately I hope my girl can get it together. If you're out there and reading this TANYA – know that these thoughts are merely the ratings of boy/man who is as devoted to you and your music as you were to country music. Keep it together and know that regardless of the passing of time and the losses that come with it you have left your mark on country music – let's just hope you get your MOJO back in time to shove some more incredible music down our throats. I know I'll be anxiously waiting!

Good Night | Good Morning starring Manu Narayan (Bombay Dreams, The Love Guru) and Seema Rahmani (Loins of Punjab, Missed Call, Sins), co-written by Sudhish Kamath and Shilpa Rathnam, was named on "J. Hurtado's Top Ten Indian Films of 2012″ on Twitchfilm.com. The story is about an all-night phone call between two strangers on New Year's Eve in New York City. Vasanth Santosham and Raja Sen are also featured in the cast.
J. Hurtado of Twitchfilm.com writes, "In the grand tradition of the French New Wave, Good Night | Good Morning comes to us from a film critic turned filmmaker. Sudhish Kamath, film writer for major Indian periodical, The Hindu, wrote and directed Good Night | Good Morning and made it all happen with minimal cast and crew. The story of an all night phone call between a pair of potential lovers is short and sweet, but resonant in its depiction of the search for love and the strange turns it sometimes takes. Performed entirely in English, this film deserves to be seen by international audiences, as it rivals any Indie romance out there. Turiya, played by Manu Narayan, embodies his lovesick character's neurosis and blind faith well. He's able to tap into emotion when necessary without the distraction of visual or editorial trickery, which is impressive."
Twitchfilm.com: Top Ten Indian Films of 2012 by J. Hurtado (January 7, 2013)
Katherine Matthews of Bollyspice.com writes, "Good Night, Good Morning trades in all sorts of pop culture references that are familiar, allow us to immediately identify with the two main characters, Turiya (Manu Narayan) and Moira (Seema Rahmani), who meet by chance on New Year's Eve in New York, and spend the night carrying on a long and far-reaching conversation by telephone, Turiya in a car with his three friends, on their way back to Philidelphia, and Moira, spending the night in a hotel on a stop-over on her way to Mumbai. The dialogues (as befits an all night conversation), written by Kamath and Shilpa Rathnam, are sharp and crisp and pointedly wonderful. Images of New York, shot in black and white, and set against a smooth, jazzy soundtrack, give this film a hip, contemporary, cosmopolitan feel, allowing Kamath to create an intense environment that allows us to focus on the discussion taking place."

Narayan recently appeared as a doctor on the pilot episode of NBC's "Deception" starring Meagan Good, Victor Garber and Tate Donovan.

Customer Reviews
- Good overall value, especially since we were there for JazzFest. If you don't have a car, you might need cab fare at night. The hostel is in the Treme and several locals had negative comments about the area, which does feel abandoned at night. In the day it's fine. The hostel is two blocks off a major street that's busy at night, and a quick walk to the French Quarter.Facilities get the job done, but the "private double" is a bed and a cot, and the bathroom is shared with the whole building. Ashley, from USA ~ 3rd May 2013
Staff great, a cheap, simple hostel for stay in New Orleans Ming-Hua, from Taiwan ~ 9th Apr 2013

The place could have been kept up a bit more tidy. The staff members on duty were very nice & friendly so I didn't mind about the living condition. Thank you for providing wi-fi connection it was very useful for me. I have put security as avg. b/c sometimes I would see the door was not locked at night probably some guest didn't know how to lock it on their way out. Tapash, from USA ~ 7th Apr 2013
Its a pretty good hostel with a great stuff, just there breakfast ist kinda sad Chris, from Germany ~ 5th Apr 2013
Although the building is not very new, everything worked just fine and the staff was very nice. Especially Alisha who helped us a lot and gave us very good ideas :D Mona, from Finland ~ 25th Mar 2013
Friendly staff and good location. Could use a bit of sprucing up. James, from USA ~ 16th Mar 2013
On the last night the AC was not working. It was really cold. In the hostel.com website they anounced a free parking but the parking is on the street (they do not offer a private parking). I did not have a small breakfast that I am supposed to have Fabio, from Brazil ~ 9th Mar 2013
The location is unbeatable. I've walked to the French Quarter in the day without any issues. The setup is great and the staff is very friendly. You get what you pay for: a simple bed with sheets and a really thin blanket, which didn't work well in the cold. On my last night I found many bed bugs. I know it's hard to get rid of these pests, but washing the last guest's blankets and sheets in the drier when they leave would help. The attention to cleanliness could be improved. Check for bed bugs! Casimir, from USA ~ 16th Jan 2013
Really nice staff after you get to know them! The neighbourhood is shady, but it is close to both frenchman street and bourbon street (french quarter) I would recommend to take a cab home if you go out at night. The rooms are all you need but the whole place could do with a makeover. A bit hard to find, there is no proper sign. Andreas, from Sweden ~ 14th Jan 2013
This place is absolutely amazing. You cannot get cheaper or closer to the French Quarter. The room was perfect for what I needed, which was a place to stumble back to and fall asleep comfortably and safely. I read the reviews and know about a person's incessant need to complain about the slightest things, but was also worried about the prospect of bed bugs. I brought my own bedding and put it over theirs and never saw a single bug in the entire place. NO BED BUGS! CHEAP! AWESOME! GO! Kevin, from USA ~ 29th Dec 2012

COLUMN: Ready for the end of the world?
Underground bunkers. Food stockpiles. Suicide pacts.
All of these are coming into play as people interpret the infamous "Mayan calendar" to mean that the world will end on December 21. According to a Reuters survey of 16,000 people in 21 countries, at least 10 percent of the population is genuinely concerned that we'll all be annihilated on that date.
Yes, one in 10 people is really agitated by all the books, documentaries and bumper stickers ("How's my driving — as I dodge lava, meteors and stampeding wildlife?")
The diehard true believers, who've immersed themselves in occult tomes and survivalist manuals, inspire me to paraphrase my favorite line from "Monty Python's Life of Brian": "I know an end-of-the-world scenario when I see one. And I should know — I've been through a few."
Then there are the anxiety-plagued individuals who have overheard and retained just enough to be dangerous. ("Yeah, I remember this guy on this show said something or another about the end of the world and stuff. Something to do with trans fats — or was it adjustable rate mortgages...?")
Thank goodness there are still a few individuals who have remained mercifully oblivious to the whole business. ("2012? Man, I thought it was 1954. No wonder I've been waiting so long for my pipe and slippers.")
(Granted, some people are actually EMBRACING the apocalypse. Some of my co-workers are planning to take tequila shots every time someone screams, "Help! That building is collapsing on me! Aieeeeeee!")
It doesn't help when quasi-governmental agencies buy into the hysteria. The United States Postal Service recently petitioned Congress for the authority to raise the price of first-class postage to "a 5-gallon jug of water and a zombie-killing kit."
Archaeologists, astrophysicists and other mainstream types have made little headway in dispelling the panic.
Some scholars admit that there's a grain of truth behind the far-fetched predictions but say that the "end of the world" is much more narrowly focused than the universal cataclysm usually pictured. Says one expert on the classical Mayan period: "The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar actually says that on December 21 Jeremy Higgenmuller must take an afterschool job and start paying for his own &%$# first car." ("Nooooooooooo!") Continued...
Of course not everyone who gives credence to the "2012 phenomenon" interprets the calendar as indicating doomsday. Various New Age types view December 21 as the beginning of a touchy-feely "dawning of the age of Aquarius" sort of transformative spiritual event. Ere long, mankind will join hand in hand to declare something like "Please be kind...remember to rewind." (Hey, YOU have trouble remembering anniversaries. Cut the Mayas a little slack if a 5,125-year calendar cycle is a few decades late.)
Maybe we should all just ignore the hype, focus on cherishing our loved ones on Christmas, change our fire alarm batteries on New Year's Eve and make sincere resolutions for a bright 2013.
It wouldn't be the end of the world.

3 reasons to buy life insurance before having kids
March 20, 2012People often think that you only need to buy life insurance if you have kids. After all, a rite of passage for many young married couples is to buy life insurance once they get ready to try getting pregnant for the first time. While it's true that life insurance is an important way to provide for your children's future in the event that you don't live long enough to see it, buying life insurance is almost always a good financial move as part of a couple's overall financial plan, whether or not that couple has children.

No Rashomon last night, as it turned out. Instead, the racy Lubitsch comedy Design For Living, which posits that the only way bohemian artist pals Frederic March and Gary Cooper can find happiness is in a non-traditional threeway with Miriam Hopkins. Goddamn, I love pre-code Hollywood. Design For Living started life as a Noel Coward play, but Lubistch handed the script over to Ben Hecht*, an uneasy mix at best. Coward hated the movie. But whatever got lost in translation from Coward to Hecht is more than made up by the trinity of actors at the core. Hopkins is a real corker in this. She's like the prototype Manic Pixie Dream Girl but without the inevitable "Surprise! She's dying of Tragic Movie Disease! That's why she coughed once in the first reel!" nonsense that usually accompanies a M.P.D.G. In a movie that is meant to be a trifle, her equal attraction to both men is surprisingly believable. Gary Cooper is dependably Cooperish, and Frederic March is ridiculously great in it**, as the sad-sack playwright who only seems to be happy when Hopkins is around. Well, who could blame him, really. Even without the Code in full effect, they really had to tone down a lot of the innuendo in Design For Living. Not that a Lubitsch movie would ever go into full-on ribaldry - Lubitsch is the template for every attempt at "sophisticated" comedy that followed, usually poorly - but I do wish we had gotten a little bit more scenes like when Hopkins lounges on a fainting couch and comes-on to Cooper: "It's true we had a gentlemen's agreement... but unfortunately, I am no gentleman." Hopkins also gets a nice little speech about falling in love with two men at the same time: "Interesting elimination"! Fantastic. * Arguably the greatest screenwriter of all time. Hecht wrote the play The Front Page (later adapted into a pile of movies, including His Girl Friday), the script for the original Scarface (in 11 days!), Gunga Din, Wuthering Heights, Spellbound, Notorious, and was one of the highest paid script doctors in the business, polishing everything from Gone With The Wind to Strangers On A Train. ** You know how people have this insane idea that acting was too stiff in old movies? Watch anything with Frederic March in it.
Saw the following movies on the days leading up to Christmas. My response to them may very well be swayed by nostalgia. Home Alone - Holds up, but as I get older I feel less and less bad for everyone in the film except for Daniel Stern's character. Kevin really is kind of a little brat, Catherine O'Hara's character is her own worst enemy, and really, forgetting your kid? Christmas Vacation - Holds up, but is so much more slight of a movie than I remember. Also, I was disappointed upon doing a Google search to find that the perfume counter girl didn't end up posing for Playboy or anything. What up with that? Die Hard (Christmas eve tradition) - Of course it holds up. What's wrong with you? Lethal Weapon - Doesn't hold up. Controversial opinion, sure, but I'm stickin' with it. The whole setup at the end is a huge problem for me. Riggs and Murtaugh really allow Joshua to murder a cop just so he doesn't realize it's a trap? What the fuck? Also, could that whole kung fu fight on the lawn really have been more 80s action movie? Arthur Christmas - Surprisingly good. Don't know why I say 'surprisingly', though. After all, it's an Aardman movie and has a lot of that sensibility. Funny, touching and nice to look at. A good time! Scrooged - Holy shit, does this movie still hold up. If you don't agree, it's cos you're an asshole. Elf - Still fun, but I donno if it has many more yearly viewings left in it for me. Did not get around to Gremlins, Love, Actually or It's a Wonderful Life. Maybe next year! Also, Netflix, seriously. Add a 'Christmas movies!' tab that only appears starting in December. It'd make life easier. Not that it matters, since the only movie you had on the above list was Christmas Vacation.
I watched Project Nim, which was an HBO documentary about this chimpanzee that was raised among a human family as an experiment, and all his subsequent misadventures. It was really dark. I also have been cleaning up old movies that have been kicking around the DVR, so I watched Water for Elephants (pretty good,) Red Tails (boring as fuck,) and We Bought a Zoo (not too bad.)
I adore Carol Kane in Scrooged. She's easily the best part, especially when she clocks Murray with the toaster.
Just saw Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen for the first time, and it was using the new 4K restoration. Holy fucking shit that was amazing. :-)
'The Bourne Legacy'. As an action romp it's pretty enjoyable but I can't help feeling that its genetically enhanced agents unravel a lot of the stuff that made the Damon Bourne films so great. Things get really silly when the Asian T-1000 turns up (complete with expository dialogue that evokes Kyle Reese's "It can't be bargained with..." lines in 'The Terminator').
Saw Lincoln. It was the most affecting movie I saw this year, with moments of genuine power. I teared up a few times, which is unusual for me. Unfortunately it's also pretty schmaltzy and should have ended about a half-hour earlier. Unsurprisingly, some of the most effective parts were just Day-Lewis delivering Lincoln's speeches. My wife recently read "Team of Rivals", the book on which the movie is based, and said that the movie seemed true to the book. Overall a great movie.
Sunset Boulevard. It was great. A very onionated movie. Fuckin' Billy Wilder, guys. I watched it because it was brought up when you nerds were talking about noirs. Why were so many hardboiled/noir films/books set in LA? Is it just the legacy of Chandler and his Marlowe? Sunset makes sense because it revolves around the film industry and all the NYC stories make sense vis a vis crime and a zillion people in a city that never sleeps. Was LA a good location cuz all the writers lived there?
If you can, you should track down the original opening Wilder shot for it, where Joe Gillis' corpse is pushed down a morgue hallway as all of the other cadavers tell him how they died. It's fucking crazy. And depending on how much Hollywood trivia you have stuck in your head like I do, Sunset Blvd. is more of an onion than you know. Many of the people in the movie are playing only slightly tweaked versions of themselves - Gloria Swanson really was a huge Hollywood silent star, and William Holden was on his way to being washed up in real life after a decade of alcohol abuse sidetracked his earlier promise. (Sunset Blvd. helped him get back in the game in a big way.) But there's also Norma Desmond's butler, played by the great director Eric Von Stronheim, who had directed Swanson in many of her movies. (In fact, the movie he projects for Desmond and Gillis is one of the movies he had directed himself.) Casting him as a butler is probably the darkest joke in the movie, as Stronheim was famous for a crazy, crazy 1924 movie called Greed which Stronheim shot an unbelievable amount of footage for - 85 hours worth, according to Wikipedia. I remember hearing a rumour that his original edit of the movie was something like sixteen hours long, and there was a four-hour edit that (I believe) was actually screened in Europe. It tanked hard, one of the great famous early box-office bombs of the silent era, and Stronheim never really recovered as a director, although he eventually found some success as an actor.
We can't be friends. :( (Don't mind me, I loathe pretty much all the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals and their movie versions.) Speaking of movie musicals, we saw Les Miserables with my family while we were in NJ. Our opinions varied from "meh" to "that was shit." I could've forgiven a lot if Russel Crowe wasn't the worst Javert ever. But he was! So I forgave nothing.
Aaww man, sorry, it was silly/cute/stupid and I couldn't help but smile at it, no matter how batshit insane it was. Plus the eldest daughter was damned cute.
Wow. I knew about Swanson and a little about Stronheim by wiki-surfing after I finished the movie, but I didn't know about Holden or the obsessiveness of Stronheim. The movie also has all those cameos -- Cecile B Demille is himself, Buster Keaton plays himself briefly, maybe some more? It works on so more levels than I think most movies of that ilk do and it's level of grotesqueness is awesome and never undermined by the stylishly crazy Norma and the rest.
Everybody in that "waxworks" scene - the one where Buster Keaton and friends come over to play bridge - was at one point a big deal. The woman is Anna Q. Nilsson, a Swedish silent actress who was in a ton of early Hollywood, and the other guy is H.B. Warner, who was a Jesus in Cecil B. DeMille's* silent The King Of Kings. The more you know about Sunset Blvd, the more evil it gets. Even more incredible is that Wilder followed up Sunset with Ace In The Hole, a movie that is arguably even more misanthropic and harsh. Wilder obviously made tons of great movies, but Sunset and Ace In The Hole back-to-back is something else. * Who is ALSO in Sunset Blvd, playing himself.
The Guy from Harlem. I believe it was Bill that said that this was possibly the doofiest blaxploitation ever. I strongly recommend this version, which is not free, but is worth the price of admission.
The Imposter, a crazy documentary about a French dude who pretends to be this Texas family's son who went missing years ago...and they believe him! Naturally, there is a Hell of a lot more to it than that.
I'd pretend it's a product of having worked on so damned many productions of the various R&H offerings, but I hated them before that, so clearly I am just a bitter old harridan with no joy in her heart. ;)
I saw 5 Minutes of Heaven which is about the Troubles in Ireland. A stupid teenager kills another teenager while his little brother watches. 30 years later they're going to meet on some BBC show about truth and reconciliation. Liam Neeson shows that he's still a good actor as the killer, but James Nesbitt is fucking amazing. He's funny, and manic, and so fucking angry it almost hurts to watch him. Then I watched Take This Waltz which was twee and precious and not nearly as good. Sure, Michelle Williams has come a long way since Dawson's Creek, and this actually has Seth Rogen in a part where he's not a lovable schlump cracking jokes. He's just a lovable schlump. It was written and directed by Sarah Polley, and the whole thing just feels really Canadian, if that's possible with a majority of American actors.
Tin Tin doesn't suck and actually has some really good action sequences. That being said, there was no way this wasn't going to be a bomb. I can't for the life of me figure out who the movie is supposed to be for - the motion-capture animation downright creepy (though I found it really interesting). The plot is convoluted and violent and contains an alcoholism sub-plot. The character of Tin-Tin is confusing. Is he a boy? A man? A mannish-boy? A boyish-man? A Twink?
Ze ovairsees markets, you American clod. [Would twirling a pencil thin mustache at this point read as French Snob or Snidely Whiplash?] [Also, fuck you, Bebe from Persona 3, for firmly lodging this voice in my head.] Seriously, though. Tin Tin was a sort of a landmark film in that it was never really intended to make its money domestically (the norm for big films is to primarily target the American audience - possibly with some allowances for outside markets, as with the title addendum in Captain America - and then suck up your foreign money as gravy on top of your domestic box office). In Europe, he's kind of a bigger deal than around these parts, and that's where the cash was supposed to come in from. I don't give quite enough of a crap about movies to investigate whether that actually happened, of course, but that's the theory.
I've seen it before, but 'Moon' was on BBC2 last night. Just as good as it was the first time, and Sam Rockwell turns in an excellent performance as both iterations of Sam Bell; it's depressing that he wasn't at least nominated for a Best Actor Oscar (as far as I can tell from IMDB).
Watched Christine for the first time the other night, was on the Sundance channel which I also didn't even know I had.
Watching Finding Nemo for the first time in ages, since I got the Blu-ray for Christmas, it's so amazing.
Taken 2. Wow. Every single actor phoned in not only their acting performance, but their fight scenes. I believe even the script writer phoned in it, since half the father-daughter conversations appeared to be him hitting on her. Never mind Maggie Grace ain't sixteen and none of the far-away blurry shots of her would convince me otherwise. I look forward to Taken 3, when the family dog goes missing.
Tin Tin was actually great. Had no expectations going into it besides some vague memories of watching the old French-Canadian cartoon series.
Watched Silver Linings Playbook. They took a fairly standard romantic comedy and had De Niro rough it up in an alley a bit to make it a little edgier. Okay date movie, kind of hectic on the editing. Someone wanted an excuse to have Jennifer Lawrence shake around and jiggle a bit, but thankfully she brings more to the role than that.
We watched Horatio's Drive which was a lighthearted Ken Burns documentary about the first cross-country road trip. It needed more teenagers and sexual hijinks to truly be a road movie, but it had a great dog. Then we watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and I realized about halfway through that the title gives away who the mole is. I've read this book twice, and seen the old PBS version before. This was pretty good, although I still think that in the book you don't know who the schoolmaster is and it's a big reveal when he's identified. Because it's film, you know who he is as soon as you see him, so we miss that. We also never get how Smiley finds him in this version.
I watched This Means War with the missus last night instead of going out for X-mas Eve, and enjoyed it a lot. It's a stupid romcom but it's consistently funny both Hardy and Pike are fantastic in it. I'm not normally a fan of Reese Witherspoon, but she was good in this and her scenes with Chelsea Handler are great too.
Rewatched For Love of The Game, Costner's 3rd(?) baseball movie and my favourite of the 3. I know just enough about baseball to follow along but largely thats incidental to the film anyway. John C Reilly is really great in this as well (normally I can't stand him). It's on Netflix Instant, although Instant Watcher doesn't find it.
Pretty sure it doesn't. Same in the BBC version, though. As I remember it the school subplot being unexplained in the novel didn't feel like added value when I first read the book, but I'm not big on buried plot ledes. I liked both adaptations, but the TV one is hard to beat with both superlative acting and casting, and the extra time to do more. I also much preferred the handling of the Esterhase confrontation which...
I could swear it's like this: I think the difference with the schoolmaster stuff is that I read the book before seeing any dramatization, so it was one of those, "What the heck does this guy off teaching school have to do with anything?" Then when it's revealed who he is a lot of things make sense. In fact, I think the book opens with him at the school, then switches over to the goings on at the Circus.
I just re-watched Garden State for the first time in several years. It's sentimental and sappy but I still enjoy it!
