VIDEO: First Look - Trailer for SOUND CITY Featuring Dave Grohl, Tom Petty & More
In the wake of the confirmation of its premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) has given fans an unprecedented peek behind the scenes of his directorial debut: The official trailer for his feature documentary film, SOUND CITY, about the legendary Van Nuys, CA studio has just been unveiled. Check it out below!
Grohl, who will travel to Sundance next month along with select artists featured in the film and its forthcoming soundtrack album commented yesterday, "As a first time director, I am humbled to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through the extraordinary story of America's greatest unsung recording studio, Sound City. Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity, and passion for art. I am over the moon!"
SOUND CITY, the film, was conceived by Grohl after purchasing the legendary custom-built Neve 8028 recording console from Sound City Studios last year. The board, built in 1972, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of analog recording equipment, having recorded such artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Fear, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, and countless other musical legends over the past 40 years.
Through interviews with the artists and producers that created decades of musical history at Sound City, the film showcases the amazing history of the studio, focuses on the albums recorded there that went on to change the world, then explores the human element of music in an age of technology, and features performances of new music created exclusively for the film.
Grohl's personal connection to Sound City began with the 1991 recording of Nirvana's breakthrough album, "Nevermind". Selling over 30 million copies worldwide, "Nevermind" changed the entire musical landscape and forever altered the course of Dave Grohl's life.
Roswell Films, a division of the Roswell Records label that releases Foo Fighters music, will distribute the film. Key personnel involved with the film include Producer/Director Dave Grohl; Editor Paul Crowder (Dogtown & Z Boys, Once In a Lifetime, Riding Giants); and Writer Mark Monroe (The Cove, Once In a Lifetime, The Tillman Story). The film is also being produced in conjunction with Jim Rota, John Ramsay, and Therapy studios.

Well in addition to free apps, its good to know what the user is looking for. What do they like about your app and what don't they like. Have you surveyed your current users to see what they like or don't like?

We don't have access to the current paying users contacts, so we can't target them specifically. Also, no user has left comments on the Android Market page of our app. We did create a page were users can leave comments and feature requests. Out of our 8 paying users (in 3/4 months) only one has left a suggestion in this page: http://kumbu.uservoice.com/forums/85707-general

Also, we set up a beta-user program and got some people registered. We sent free versions of the app to these people, but only a small minority gave us any feedback.

Will you post any kind of report on the results? I would be interested in that information. Thanks. The Kumbu Dev Team 2011-01-31T22:31:33Z How can I market my app?

Its been there for a while now (about 3 months).

Unfortunately, the sales numbers have not been very good. Less than 10 people bought the app in those 3 months. My team's marketing strategy as been simple: posts on Android forums. At this moment we can't afford buying advertisement, because these kind of numbers don't seam very promising.

I've tried lowering the price (it's selling at 1€ / 1.3$ right now) but that didn't have much effect (only one sell in about 3 weeks at this lower price).

There's a lot of competition for our app (even free apps) but I think I've got a quality app and I was expecting getting better business at this point.

We have been updating the app with new features and bugfixes.

So does anyone have marketing tips for us?

Thanks for your comments.

Over the course of the past decade, there's been a lot of hype pertaining to the_ Internet of Things (IoT)_ and how China leads the U.S. in this technology -- yet many who are active on the Internet are still unaware of its existence.
In its simplest form, IoT is an evolving wireless network of objects and devices that will eventually all be connected with each other. Using RFID, Bluetooth, GPS and other emerging semantic technology, and working in tandem with cloud computing, Web portals and back-end systems, in essence our "things" will be be able to "talk" with each other.
2014 may be the year
The logistics of making inanimate objects digital with the capability of being operated remotely is going to take a lot work on a lot of products, from cars to household appliances to heating and cooling units to myriad others.
Padmasree Warrior, Cisco's chief technology and strategy officer, believes 2014 will be the year of "things." At the Silicon Valley Summit, she indicated her company was predicting an aggressive adoption curve for making everything digital.
"In 1984, there were 1,000 connected devices," she said. "That number rose up to reach a million devices in 1992, and reached a billion devices in 2008. Our estimates say... that we will have roughly 50 billion connected devices by the year 2020. That number is going to really accelerate over the next several years. Despite the fact, we estimate that only one percent of things that could have an IP address do have an IP address today, so we like to say that 99 percent of the world is still asleep."
Anthropomorphized kitchen appliances
Like something out the TV cartoon series "The Jetsons," it's whimsical to imagine a kitchen coming alive with automated beeps similar to our smartphones. Perhaps the sensor on our food processor will alert our oven that ingredients for a pie are ready to be heated at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Or our coffee maker will call the office and ask our fellow employees how they like their "Morning Joe?" This and more will become part and parcel of how we can remotely engage with our devices.
Smart, connected appliances
Godedeker's recent blog post, "6 Trends in Appliance Design You Must Consider Before Buying Your Next Kitchen Appliance," notes that "whether it is a wall oven from GE that can be controlled by your smartphone or a Samsung refrigerator with a wifi enabled LCD tablet built in, the current and future generation of appliances will be smarter and able to connect and communicate with us."
Beyond our major appliances, GE has also partnered with crowdsourcing sites such as Qwirky to create inventions. This initiative will also address older appliances, devising a means for them to work smarter with our Android and iOS devices.
Looking ahead, developers that have been creating various apps for our smartphones will now be tasked with coming up with innovative solutions for the IoT. It's all come down to theeconomies of scale where it becomes less and less expensive for this technology to leap forward.
"A lot of these wireless technologies for connecting things have gotten cheap, reliable and low power enough," says Alex Hawkinson, CEO of Smartthings. "Now, the cost of adding connectivity [to an everyday device] is less than $5, and [these processors and radios] can work on batteries for more than a year."
In 2014, there will be myriad options for joining the Internet of Things revolution. However, what remains to be seen is how many of us are ready to take the plunge.
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, will describe how to revoluti...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, will discuss how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

Panel gets '13 budget overview
By Kim Walter -- firstname.lastname@example.com
FRONT ROYAL -- Town Manager Steve Burke, along with town staff, presented the town's proposed 2012-2013 budget to council at their Monday night work session.
The document is still a work in progress, as the town is still waiting on a final state budget.
In Burke's opening letter to council, he said that the town's "general fund revenue sources have stabilized and even increased slightly."
The budget is based on a personal property tax rate of $.64 and a real estate tax rate of $.11, which includes $.02 per $100 devoted to the Leach Run parkway, local connector road and facility study projects.
Burke said that the staff is proposing that electric, solid waste, water and sewer enterprise funds remain as they were last year.
He added that budget preparation presented challenges because of increases in both medical insurance and retirement plan expenses.
Overall, a 1 percent increase to $37,449,138 was proposed for the town's budget from 2011-2012 to 2012-2013, mainly due to increased expenses for insurance, retirement, fuel and postage.
Other expenditure increases include $55,000 for a Community Development position, $77,000 to reorganize the Police Department staff, $313,000 for anticipated electricity purchases, and $92,000 for a one-time bonus of $500 to each full-time employee, and $250 to each part-time employee.
The town attorney is also requesting a salary raise for the assistant town attorney and senior legal administrative assistant "to reflect their increased workload."
Councilman N. Shae Parker noticed a 1 percent increase in salaries for council.
"I would like to propose removing that increase from council," he said. "Instead let's take that and give it to employees as a 1 percent COLA."
Mayor Timothy W. Darr said Parker's suggestion may warrant a debate, as he felt that a 1 percent increase might not benefit the right people in the right way.
"Are we trying to help the people at the bottom of the scale or the top of the scale," he asked. "Who needs it the most?"
Darr also suggested that any discussion of salary or position changes in the proposed budget be fully delved into at a later work session.
"I want to make sure that we address all personnel moves in one separate conversation," Darr said.
Parker also asked that $400 in apparel for council be stricken from the budget.
"I don't see any point in taxpayers paying to put clothes on our backs," he said.
A $25,000 increase is proposed for advertising purposes, but Councilman Thomas E. Conkey pointed out that in lodging taxes alone, the town expected over $200,000 in tax revenue.
The finance department requested a $5,000 increase for postage, though finance director Kim Gilkey-Breeden said that staff is "challenged everyday to decrease that."
The cost comes largely from sending out letters to residents at risk of having utilities shut off.
"We try to give them a last-ditch chance," she said. "Postage is our biggest expense."
Parker asked for staff to investigate the possibility of e-billing for the town, in hopes of decreasing postage expenses.
Council will continue budget discussion at their next work session April 16th.

Meditation Practice:10 Red Flags
Some "Red Flags" that might mean it's time to look deeper into your discipline of meditation: 1. Sitting on your meditation cushion, you give yourself only one option: feeling good. As for the other stuff—more or less your life—you take the attitude that it's somehow all behind you. 2. In any given session, the number of times your mind meets the now corresponds with the number of times your smart phone vibrates. 3. Your meditation is anxious. After all, it's about time you were a better person. 4. Having decided that you are fine just as you were, you meditate ... continue reading
A Secret Shared
Tonight I have to be at the meditation center. Our little study group, all long-time practitioners of Buddhist meditation, will meet at 5:30. With our teacher's blessing, 8-10 of us are reading and discussing sacred "terma," or "hidden treasure" texts from the Shambhala tradition. The road to this study group was long. Many years of dedicated meditation practice, contemplation, retreats, and funds were required. Perhaps this is why we are so few. Students of meditation, we are also school teachers, engineers, bookkeepers, artists, Internet geeks, business executives, nurses, parents, and grandparents. The ... continue reading
The True Refuge
According to my meditation teacher, to practice meditation is to be vulnerable, requiring the discipline of simplifying and slowing down. This journey takes intelligence and a willingness to acknowledge our connection to others. Sitting on our meditation cushion, we are exposed. Our willingness to be exposed is an expression of strength. Of course security is important and meditation requires relaxation. But if we are left alone for a minute, and we give our discursiveness a rest, inevitably we begin to feel. To feel what we are feeling is to be human. ... continue reading
Remembering My Self
April 1st Barnet, Vermont We remember here Acharya Michael Greenleaf, a senior teacher in Shambhala and a co-founder of the wildly successful Mukpo Institute. The Acharya's road to revered 'would-be Master' was not easy or anticipated. As a boy, he mercilessly harassed his one sibling, a younger brother. Both smarter and more sensitive than Michael, Tony suffered this abuse with dignity. Later, Michael would take credit for "introducing my brother to the Buddhist path of patience and loving kindness." By the age of 13, a growing intuition told Michael that his destiny lay in ... continue reading
Letter to Seniors: 7 Ways You Can Help
Editor's Note: In this blog post, Michael Greenleaf imagines a letter from a member of the younger generation to those of us who are older. The tone suggests that age brings more responsibility not less, that to grow old is to grow up, and that these times carry with them some urgency. The qualities demanded in the blog are consistent with practice on the meditation cushion. In meditation we allow ourselves to slow down. Willing to expose our true nature to ourselves, genuineness, intelligence and caring for others are naturally ... continue reading
Me Who Loathes Me: The Interview
On cold and rainy afternoon in West Barnet recently, I caught up with the Me Who Loathes Me. We shared a cup of tea and watched the clouds moving across the sky. Me: So, when was it we last got together? MLM: Yeah, not so long ago—at the funeral service for Paul, a fellow practitioner of mindfulness. Me: Yes, Paul, what a wonderful man! MLM: Yeah, if anyone ever put your schtick in stark contrast, it was Paul. He understood goodness, something that still eludes you. What do you actually do on your meditation cushion ... continue reading
The Contentment Test
This year, the Christian tradition of Lent falls during the weeks before and after the first day of spring. Lent is a time associated with purification and renunciation. While Buddhism is no stranger to these practices, one of the words for renunciation in Tibetan can also be translated as "contentment". (The word is chok-she, which literally means "to know enough, to know what is enough".) Rather than self-sacrifice or a lowering of expectation, contentment refers to waking up from the confusion of continuous want; appreciating the richness of experience in each ... continue reading
The Science (and not) of Meditation
There are many good reasons to meditate, some empirical, some personal. Science Scientific studies confirm: Meditation Helps. These studies track the impact of meditation on physical health and psychological distress. Because they use the scientific method and focus on empirical findings, they're something (just about) everyone can agree on. This is one of the wonderful things about science. The scientific benefits of meditation are increasingly well-documented. Here are a few of the headlines—the most striking benefits, from the most credible sources: Cuts cardiac patients' heart attack and stroke risk nearly in half (by 47%) ... continue reading
For Men Only: A Valentine
Dear hombre, how can you be in relationship if you don't know, well–how to be?

Regular mindfulness meditation has been shown to reduce stress—in other words, meditation supports relationship success. Here are five ways: 1) Take-Home Pay In tuning you up, we can't ignore the green. Your ability to provide is a turn on. But if you take work home in the form of worry, ... continue reading
Meditation–It's Science!
We report here on several groundbreaking new scientific studies with impressive results for those practicing mindfulness meditation. First, scientists have discovered that regular meditation sessions can help couples get along. In one experiment, self-avowed "difficult" spouses were asked to practice once a day on their meditation cushion. After three months, over 60% of their suffering partners found the new meditator "more bearable." "Sure he's less moody" confided a relieved wife, "but when my husband is meditating, the TV is off, he's not making a mess and he's not bothering me. This is ... continue reading

Category: Ceramics
Lladro Figurine - Mother and Child (restored) - Retired Presented for auction is an absolutely beautiful figurine entitled "Maternidad" (mother and child). This figurine is an impressive 13" in height and has a glazed finish. Unfortunately, she fell down and broke her neck. I brought her to a restoration expert for repair. It is so well done that from the front and side you cannot see the repair. I have included a picture of the back of her neck w t is a minute piece missing. However, ever since her accident I have kept her in my china cabinet (out of harm's way) with the rest of my Lladro collection and she looks just as perfect as the rest of them (from the front). This Lladro comes from my personal collection. It was issued in 1969 and retired in 1997. The sculptor is Fulgencio Garcia. The current value for this figurine is $445.00 (if perfect). I still have her original box which I will include if the winning bidder so desires. I will ship this figurine for a flat rate fee of $12.50 to any destination within the United States. I wil ship to Canada, Australia and New Zealand provided the winning bidder agrees to pay any additional postage incurred. Although insurance is optional, it is highly recommended. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

The Government has launched a new £1.3million campaign to get drivers to look out for riders at junctions.
Radio and petrol station ads will run from now until May urging drivers to take longer to look for riders.
Ads will also appear on Video On Demand TV, aimed particularly at young drivers. The campaign tells drivers to 'see the person behind the...

Just get the words "Think" etched into the windscreens of Audi's and BMW's. This could seriously result in fewer motorcycle collisions.
Oh and Mercs.
And did I mention Range Rovers.
Seriously though, why anybody fails to see 200 kilos of metal and 80 kilos of human, usually with a headlight switched on is beyond me.

And they've actually identified the problem - cagers not seeing bikes, or not giving a toss.
Now, how about reminding constabularies that mashing someone up in your cage isn't a case of "well, they're hard to see, so fuck 'em, they know the risks".

The problem is not that car drivers (Audi's; BMW's, Merc's etc) "DON'T SEE" motorcyclists! It is because they "DON'T LOOK" car drivers indicate and turn as simple as that.
The highway code states that drivers or riders M U S T ! "LOOK + INDICATE + LOOK AGAIN = TURN! but few people do that, now a days they indicate and turn, expecting the world to stop for them.
I see that stupid behaviour everyday on the A3 Toolworth.....sad!

Completely agree! I tried to get some more stickers when I read the campaign was 'ABOUT' to be launched. The THINK website said "This item is currently out of stock and will be despatched as a priority as soon as stock is available." (yes I know dispatched is spelt wrong!)
Tried again today thinking that if the campaign is 'ACTUALLY' launched, they're bound to be in stock…….No!
I emailed a rather snotty comment and got a phone call back….
If I want some I have to phone them on 01300 123 1102 and they will post some out!
Nice and easy to get hold of then? How about making them available at Petrol Stations where they propose to advertise????

March 23, 2014
VILLANOVA, Pa. - In a back-and-forth battle between the Villanova men's tennis team (0-12) and Temple (6-10) on Sunday, the Wildcats were unable to get over the hump as the Owls knocked off the home squad, 4-3, Sunday at the Villanova Tennis Complex.
"Even with the tough lost to Temple I am very encouraged with the effort and performance of our players. We are starting to turn the season around," Villanova head coach Bradley Adams said.

The City of Auburn has once again pledged a five-to-one match for individual and corporate contributions of up to $50,000 for the Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve, a community outreach program for Auburn University's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. According to the agreement, the city is providing the grant in the form of matching funds in order to encourage community engagement and support for this resource for outdoor recreation and education.
Spanning more than 120 acres, the preserve features more than five miles of trails through various habitats, educational displays and signage, a nature playground, an amphitheater and pavilion space for programs. The preserve plans to use contributions and the city's community grant to help keep up with the maintenance and improvements needed to support its 20,000+ annual visitors.
"We are so happy to have this support from the City of Auburn leadership." said Jennifer Lolley, outreach administrator at the preserve. "Community and regional use of the Preserve is growing as people discover this "hidden jewel" right here in our own backyard. However, the existing facilities are not sufficient to meet the demand. Priorities include building and grounds improvements, additional restroom facilities, as well as funding for part-time staff to expand educational programs. Lolley states, "With this City grant, donor contributions will be multiplied 5 to 1 in support of these much needed improvements."
To contribute to the matching gift fund online, click here or phone Sharon Tatum, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences development coordinator, (334) 844-1983, (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Excellent quality, sturdy, and glare-free lighting. Very helpful to my Mom with vision difficulties.
Great value - good light for the desk - looks great.
I have given 2 desk lamps in this style to relatives. It puts out sufficient light, takes up little space, and is fairly attractive.
Overstock.com shipped me the lamp quickly but it was another customer's returned product that was sent back to overstock.com 2 months prior. It did not work but beyond that I hope this is not happening to other overstock.com customers. Just from a point of protecting customer's personal information the package included return number, customer's name, address, phone number, etc. Very unprofessional and lack of the basics you would expect from a large company like overstock.com.
I love this lamp; I bought two, one for each of my sons going to college. It is basic, strong, and easy to use. We looked around for a long time before finding this and we're glad we did. When my sister saw mine, she asked me for the information so she could order one too!
This is a very practical lamp giving even and good light for a working area of our convenience. The compact fluorescent bulb was broken during delivery and was replaced immediately by overstock.com. Fortunately I had saved the shipping boxes and all contents because once the bulb and I read the installation directions, I knew to look for the transparent "anti-reflective lens" snap on bulb cover. Sure enough, there it was in one of the plastic packets I could easily have thrown away without ever seeing or feeling the bulb inside.

Saying Good Night to Brian G. Hutton (1935-2014): Night Watch (1973)
Posted by Kimberly Lindbergs on August 21, 2014
Last week this blog started to resemble the obituary section of my local newspaper and while I hate to continue that trend I couldn't let Brian G. Hutton's demise go unmentioned. The New York born director and actor is best remembered today for his work on two popular big-budget WW2 films, WHERE EAGLES DARE (1968) and KELLY'S HEROES (1971) but he also appeared in some memorable films such as John Sturges' GUN FIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL (1957) and the Elvis vehicle, KING CREOLE (1958) as well as many popular television shows including GUNSMOKE, PERRY MASON, RAWHIDE and ALFRED HITHCOCK PRESENTS. The last film Hutton helmed was the Indiana Jones inspired HIGH ROAD TO CHINA (1983) and soon afterward he retired his directing chair. According to the fine folks at Cinema Retro, Hutton's self-deprecating sense of humor often led him to criticize his own movies and he didn't look back all that fondly at the time he spent in Hollywood but many film enthusiasts like myself appreciate the eclectic body of work he left behind.
Hammer Noir: Terence Fisher's STOLEN FACE (1952)
Posted by Kimberly Lindbergs on June 12, 2014
Posted by Pablo Kjolseth on June 1, 2014
If you missed A Hard Day's Night (Richard Lester, 1964) when it screened at the recent TCM Film Fest, you'll get another shot tomorrow when it airs as part of an evening celebrating the British Invasion. A Hard Day's Night marks the Fab Four's debut in front of the cameras for a feature film and is credited with breaking away from the previous template for musical pictures of a boy-meets-girl story interspersed with musical numbers. This is not to say our four boys don't meet girls, as there are throngs of screaming women, many random encounters, and George Harrison would even meet his future wife, Pattie Boyd, on the shoot (she's one of the women the Beatles run past in the train – and was also responsible for grooming his hair during the film shoot). But what really fuels the film is an anarchic energy inspired by The Goon Show radio program of the '50s that also influenced the lads in Monty Python. To be more specific: one of the people talking into the microphone for the Goon Show was Peter Sellers, before he was a film star, and Sellers would later co-direct with Lester The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film (1960), which was an 11 minute short that the Beatles quite liked and which led to Lester being hired for A Hard Day's Night (and a year later also Help!).

Rough, Raw & Randy: UP THE JUNCTION (1968)
Posted by Kimberly Lindbergs on May 1, 2014
Peter Collinson's effective slice-of-life drama UP THE JUNCTION (1968) makes its DVD and Blu-ray debut in the U.S. this week thanks to Olive Films. Today the film is often fondly remembered by fans of sixties cinema for its South London setting, colorful mod fashions, beehive hairdos, boastful bikers and jazzy psychedelic pop score by Manfred Mann. But UP THE JUNCTION has more to offer viewers besides an abundance of great style and an unforgettable soundtrack.

Alfred Hitchcock's Half-Formed Grab Bag
There are some directors who make their breakout hits early in their careers. Their landmark films announce the arrival of an important new talent by showcasing distinctive visual or thematic ideas—but these marks of distinction can also serve to limit that filmmaker's future growth. Their subsequent films can't help but be compared to their early classics, and after a while they risk being accused of simply repeating familiar motifs, cobbling together pastiches and Greatest Hits collections.
Not Alfred Hitchcock. Not only did his later works like Marnie or Topaz veer wildly away from anything in that career that preceded them, it's in his early films that we find what might be called pastiches—only these are pastiches not of past glories, but patchworks of the masterpieces yet unmade.
Consider Secret Agent. It's a 1936 wartime spy thriller (bet you couldn't guess that from the title, huh?) based on some stories by Somerset Maugham, and made for Michael Balcon and Ivor Montagu during Hitch's British period.
It is by no means one of Hitchcock's greats—even in 1936, it was only voted the fifth best British movie. But it's a template for almost everything great Hitchcock did after it.

Diamond in the Rough: The Squeaker (1937)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on April 15, 2014
The Criterion Collection built its luxury brand on an expectation of quality, and its formidable library is stacked with international classics presented in exacting restorations. This is a model without room for beat-up prints of forgotten programmers, though they've found a way to smuggle some in through their streaming channel on Hulu Plus (it was just announced that Criterion has renewed their contract with Hulu, so their 800+ films will available on the VOD site for years to come). There are endless independent productions that have been poorly preserved, and are not famous enough to justify extensive restoration work. Hulu has allowed Criterion a place to distribute these orphan titles, those from directors too obscure to even put out in their more budget-conscious Eclipse line of DVD box sets. As I was idly searching for Criterion titles only available on Hulu Plus' subscription service, I scrolled upon William K. Howard's The Squeaker (aka Murder on Diamond Row), a low-budget British mystery produced by Alexander Korda in 1937. Howard raises auteurist alarm bells because he was a favorite of legendary film historian William K. Everson, and was the subject of one of Dave Kehr's "Further Research" column in Film Comment. A fleet, funny and noir-tinged detective yarn adapted from an Edgar Wallace play, The Squeaker is an unpolished little gem.
The Brutal Truth Found In 12 Years a Slave
Posted by Kimberly Lindbergs on February 27, 2014
On Sunday many of us will be glued to our television sets watching the annual Oscar ceremony unfold. At this time of year I tend to contemplate all the new releases I've seen in the past 12 months or more and linger over the films that have captured my imagination, awed me, inspired me or just made me think about old ideas and tired truths in new ways.
Of Time and the Family: The Long Day Closes (1992)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on February 4, 2014
My memories are all knotted up with the movies. At times I fear I remember films more than reality. My first date with my future wife is nothing now but place names (Blue Ribbon Bakery, Film Forum) and an atmosphere of skittish anticipation. None of the words I spoke to her remain in my gray matter, though I recall the college fight song John Barrymore belted out in the B-Musical Hold That Co-Ed, the film which capped our evening. That tune imprinted itself, though not as much as that transformative parting kiss. No film captures the poetic arbitrariness of memory than Terence Davies' The Long Day Closes, released last week in a sumptuous Blu-Ray transfer from Criterion. Davies weaves together impressions from his mid-1950s Liverpool childhood in suggestive flashes, from the play of light upon a carpet to the audio of some of his favorite moviehouse memories (The Magnificent Ambersons and Meet Me in St. Louis feature prominently). Davies claimed it was the happiest period in his life, set in the years after his father's death, and before the crippling doubts of adolescence. The Long Day Closes is a rapturous experience, capturing the ebb and flow of sense memory in rich, tactile images, all underscored with the knowledge of their passing. These moments are gone and they will last forever.
Adults Only: House on Straw Hill (1976)
Posted by Kimberly Lindbergs on November 14, 2013
In the early 1980s British home video stores found themselves in the center of a storm when moral panic swept through the U.K. Religious leaders, parents and politically motivated individuals created what's now known as the "video nasty" scare after discovering that stores were renting graphic horror films usually reserved for American grindhouses and indiscriminate drive-ins. Most of the objectionable movies were made in the U.S. or Italy where excessive violence and nudity had few problems getting past censors if it was properly rated but in Britain film censorship tended to be much more restrictive. Movies with explicit content and titles that often intended to shock such as CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (1980), THE DRILLER KILLER (1979) and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978) caused widespread outrage throughout the U.K. that led to them being removed from video stores, criminally prosecuted or cut for British audiences. The only British film that was apparently singled out during the video nasty scare was James Kenelm Clarke's THE HOUSE ON STRAW HILL (aka Exposé; 1976). For decades this notorious erotic thriller has had the reputation of being one of the sleaziest films ever produced in Britain during the 1970s, which made it difficult to see. Badly cut or edited video copies circulated among the curious but the quality was always questionable. Thanks to the efforts of Severin Films I recently had the opportunity to catch up with this infamous film on DVD but it didn't exactly live up to its seedy status. Is it an unsung cult classic waiting rediscovery? Or is it one of the most depraved movies ever made? In truth it's neither of these things but I'm glad that Severin has saved the film from obscurity and given it a new life on DVD.
Diabolique vs. Scream of Fear
Posted by David Kalat on October 26, 2013
I was gonna call this week's post "2 Girls, 1 Swimming Pool" but decided against it. But inspired by TCM's upcoming screening of one of my all-time favorite thrillers, Henri Georges Clouzot's Diabolique (AKA Les Diaboliques), I'm taking the opportunity to celebrate the twisted artistry of this gloriously macabre picture–and taking stock of one of its many knock-offs.
Clouzot's is a dark and cynical cinema, devoid of hope and happy endings. Which is unsurprising, since that is an equally apt description of Clouzot himself. "All his work has been surrounded by an air of scandal and affront," writes Roy Armes, "and the shooting of all his films is conducted in an atmosphere of bitterness and recrimination. His own urge to dominate is perhaps reflected in his urge to dominate is perhaps reflected in his characters who seek outlets for their lust, hatred, and violence."
MovieMorlocks.com is the official blog for TCM. No topic is too obscure or niche to be excluded from our film discussions. And we welcome your comments on our blogs and bloggers.

How does one measure the success of an airplane designer?
Jeana Yeager
No offense intended to its participants, but aviation progress by the 1980s had become rather mundane by comparison with the incessant leaps and bounds of previous decades. Maybe it was a matter of butting up against the realities of aviation's maturity, or maybe it was simply a product of the funk enveloping the west at the start of the 1980s.
"LAST BIG PLUM" REVISITED–Burt Rutan and the Voyager team in 1986 described their quest to fly around the world nonstop and unrefueled as "the last big plum" in the orchard of aviation records. In 1999 Messrs. Piccard and Jones, similarly, characterized their ultimately successful circumnavigation of the world in the Breitling Orbiter balloon as "the last great aeronautical adventure."
