Okay, here's The Rundown. You got your Seann William Scott, you got your Christopher Walken, and you got your the Rock. Throw in Rosario Dawson for good (ogling) measure. Baste liberally with bone-crunching stunts and suspiciously familiar headlocks and tosses. Half-bake some Indiana Jones action, and I think you can smell what the Rock is cooking: a dish that'll fatten your head but pleasantly plump your gut.
If The Rundown succeeds, and I suppose it does by the skin of its teeth, it's by throwing a little of everything into the pot. Director Peter Berg (the sometime actor who helmed the self-confident black comedy Very Bad Things) here channels Jerry Bruckheimer's school of rock, dicing each scene--and particularly each action sequence--into addictive "once you pop, you can't stop" crumbs. Berg and the Rock prove immediately simpatico in an opening sequence which puts the star in convincing elements: a hot-spot nightclub, a mock-serious dilemma involving an ultimatum for a football team's entire defensive line, and a flatteringly upscale suit. The ensuing strobe-lit, quick-cut knockout, drag-down fight is piecemeal but propulsively charged nonetheless. Did I mention California Gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger gives the scene his (timely) on-screen blessing?
The Rock's collection agent/bounty hunter/aspiring restaurateur Beck proves to be a videogame Street Fighter come to life (as Walken says, "You got the moves, I'll give you that."). When Beck's boss makes him a parting offer he can't refuse--"One job, I wipe your slate clean, and you have your restaurant"--the big lug hops the next duct-taped plane to Brazil to nab the boss's wayward son Travis (Scott), a self-serving treasure hunter. There, Beck runs afoul of evil slave driver Hatcher (Walken) and the rebel forces with whom Hatcher is embroiled in conflict. Dawson's mysterious and lippy Mariana--somehow invested in the conflict--effortlessly turns the heads of Beck and Travis every time they cross paths. Did I mention the two boneheads get more action from a bevy of horny jungle monkeys?
The reliably amusing Scott pulls some chuckles out of thin air, and the Rock does an admirably charismatic job of putting The Scorpion King behind him, but The Rundown is as thin and machine-made as lunchmeat; the devil's in the lack of details. While Beck consistently asserts his aversion to guns, he predictably changes his tune for a crowd-pleasing Jiffy-Pop finale. The Hollywood solution to a flaccid script is predictable and naggingly effective: throw money at a one-of-a-kind, independently amusing talent like Walken. To see Walken fix his bug-eyed stare (or for that matter, narrow his eyes) and to hear him intone, "I'm the heart in the darkness" or, God help us all, "That's a lot of cows" as understated color commentary to a running of bulls, well, you try to keep a stone face through that. Did I mention Walken delivers a hilariously abortive monologue about the Tooth Fairy? Run that by me again...
In its Blu-ray debut, The Rundown comes with an very strong transfer preserving its hyper-stylized color in a clean and detailed image; it's supported by a perfectly robust DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix. As on DVD, The Rundown comes with two bonus audio tracks: an entertainingly jokey, male-bonding commentary with The Rock and director Peter Berg, and a more run-of-the mill commentary with producers Kevin Misher and Marc Abraham.
"Deleted Scenes" (13:50, SD) are actually largely extended scenes, but there are plenty of gems here, including amusing trims of Walken and Ewen Bremner and even a bit more action.
"Rumble in the Jungle" (10:32, SD) gives us a look at the film's production, with Berg, The Rock, Scott, Ernie Reyes, Jr., and Rosario Dawson. "The Amazon, Hawaii Style" (5:27, SD) focuses on the beautiful but sometimes trying location; Berg, Misher, The Rock, Scott, Dawson participate.
"Appetite for Destruction" (8:20, SD) gets into the film's outsized action, with special effects coordinator Burt Dalton, The Rock, and Dawson. "The Rundown Uncensored" (6:08, SD) is a mockumentary goof about working with the baboons. Participants include baboon trainer Kevin Keith, Berg, The Rock, and Scott.
"Running Down the Town" (4:09, SD) collects observations from production designer Thomas Duffield, producer Karen Glasser, Misher, The Rock, Abraham, Christopher Walken and Dawson about the elaborate El Dorado set, while "Walken's World" (5:33, SD) honors the weirdest actor walking. Walken, Duffield, Berg, and The Rock chat for the camera.
The disc includes Universal's My Scenes functionality, with a BD-Live hook-up to share clips online.

When I was going through a rough time in my life several years ago, I started a study on the biblical definition of love.
That study started:
There is a verse in the Bible that virtually everyone knows – if not verbatim, at least they would recognize it when they heard it. Next to John 3:16, it is perhaps the best known verse in the Bible. It reads as follows:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. [1 Corinthians 13:4-8]
The point of this series, following some introductory articles, is to look at each aspect of love laid out in this verse. Thus far, it includes the following posts:
- What does love have to do with Marriage? [09/03/2008]
- The Flow of Love [09/10/2008]
- A Love That Surpasses All Knowledge [09/18/2008]
- Hurry Up and Wait! [09/24/2008]
- The Power of Kindness [10/01/2008]
- I Wish I Had Written That! [10/08/2008]

A Finished Quilt
16 comments:
Rita - That is such a special story to have been a part of!ReplyDelete
Made in lightening speed I see!
Gorgeous as usual!
Thankyou for sharing ... as always!
Both of these quilts are beautiful and sound like will be loved very much.ReplyDelete
What a stunning quilt, Rita and you have definitely captured an African vibe with the colours. I love it and more importantly I'm sure the new family will do tooReplyDelete
Beautiful story - beautiful quilt.ReplyDelete
The quilt is lovely. I love that last photo of the quilt all folded up and the binding on display. Can't wait for your binding tutorial.ReplyDelete
A lovely quilt that I'm sure will be loved to pieces!!!ReplyDelete
Andi :-)
That quilt is beautiful!!! I'm looking forward to that tutorial---I'm always baffled by machine stitching it on!ReplyDelete
Rita!!! I received my labels today!!! Go to my blog and see how cute they are!!ReplyDelete
Oh, and the quilt is perfect!:)
Looking forward to your tutorial. I'd love to be able to do bindings 100% by machine.ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt and going to wonderful people for a beautiful baby.ReplyDelete
Another wonderful quilt and this one with a story to go with it. I remain constantly amazed at your output. I spent most of yesterday attaching and blind stitching a quilt and still didn't finish it! Where do you find the time???ReplyDelete
Do you wash your quilts AFTER you're finished?ReplyDelete
they are always so perfectly flat....and usually a washed quilt has that antiquey wrinkly look.
just curious..
Can't wait to hear your advice on binding - I can't help thinking that machine stitched binding is so much stronger than hand stitched. Especially when you are making quilts for children and every day use.ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous quilt and how wonderful to be part of Wes and Layla's inspiring journey xReplyDelete
It is beautiful. I love the quilting on it! You've inspired me to try my own quilting. I think all my machine could handle are straight lines, so thanks for making me see how cute it can be!ReplyDelete
that is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it.
Comments are published after review.

Crowdsourcing Dickens
As an experiment in new new media thinking, I recently crowdsourced a new new literature version of Charles Dickens's musty old old old lit chestnut, Great Expectations—the familiar tale of Pip, Ms Havisham, the convict Magwitch, et al.
Creative excellence and spin-worthy results required a pool of 10,000 people who had never read Great Expectations. Fortunately, I had access to 10,000 recent American college graduates, so that was no problem.
To add a dab of pseudoscience and appeal obliquely to the copyleft crowd, I remixed the new work's leading literary themes with the top 20 Google search queries, using an algorithm I found in the mens room at Penn Station.
The result was a work of pure modern genius, coming soon to an iPad near you. (Profits from the sale will be used to support Smashing Magazine's footer and sidebar elements.)
Gone was the fusty old title. Gone were the cobwebbed wedding cake and other dare I say emo images. It was goodbye to outdated characters like Joe the blacksmith and the beautiful Estella, farewell to the love story and the whole careful parallel between that thing and that other thing.
Gone too was the tired old indictment of the Victorian class system, and by implication of all economic and social systems that separate man from his brothers in Christ, yada yada. As more than one of my young test subjects volunteered in a follow-up survey, "Heard it."
In place of these obsolete narrative elements, the students and the prioritized Google searches created, or dare I say curated, a tale as fresh as today's algorithmically generated headlines.
The results are summarized in the table below.
|Old Great Expectations
|New Great Expectations
|On Christmas Eve, Pip, an orphan being raised by his sister, encounters the convict Magwitch on the marshes.
|The convict compels Pip to steal food from his sister's table, and a file from her husband the blacksmith's shop. Pip thereby shares the convict's guilt and sin—but his kindness warms the convict's heart.
|Guy on girl
|Pip's sister, Mrs. Joe, abuses him. Her husband loves Pip but is unable to protect him or offer him a future beyond blacksmithing.
|Girl on girl (multiple entries)
|Pip meets Miss Havisham, an old woman abandoned on her wedding day, who sits in her decrepit house, wearing a yellowing wedding gown, her only companion the beautiful and mysterious girl Estella. Pip falls in love with Estella, but Miss Havisham has trained the girl to break men's hearts.
|Guy on guy
|Pip visits Miss Havisham until his apprenticeship with Joe the blacksmith begins. Pip hates being a blacksmith and worries that Estella will see him as common.
|Two girls, one guy
|Mrs Joe suffers a heart attack that leaves her mute. A kind girl named Biddy comes to take care of Mrs Joe. After Mrs Joe's death, Biddy and Joe will marry. Meanwhile, Pip comes into an unexpected inheritance and moves to London, where he studies with a tutor and lives with his friend Herbert.
|Pip believes Miss Havisham is his benefactor and that she intends him to marry Estella, whom he still adores. Day by day, Estella grows more cruel. Pip never tells her of his love for her.
|One stormy night, Pip discovers that his benefactor is not Miss Havisham but the convict Magwitch. The news crushes Pip, but he dutifully allows Magwitch to live with him—worrying, all the while, because Magwitch is a wanted man who will be hanged if discovered.
|Miss Havisham repents having wasted her life and perverted Estella. She is caught in a fire. Pip heroically saves her but she later dies from her burns. Soon afterwards, Pip and Herbert try to help Magwitch escape, but Magwitch's old enemy Compeyson—who happens to be the man who abandoned Miss Havisham at the altar—betrays Magwitch to the authorities. Magwitch and Compeyson struggle. Compeyson dies and Magwitch is taken to prison.
|Pip now realizes that Magwitch is a decent man and tries to make Magwitch's last years happy ones. He also discovers that Magwitch is Estella's father. Magwitch dies in prison shortly before he was to be executed. Pip tells the dying Magwitch of his love for Estella.
|Pip becomes ill and is nursed back to health by Joe, whom Pip recognizes as a good man in spite of his lack of education and "class." Pip goes into business overseas with Herbert. Eventually he returns to England and visits Joe, who has married Biddy. They have a child named Pip. As the book ends, the middle-aged Pip makes one last visit to Miss Havisham's house, where he discovers an older and wiser Estella. There is the implication that Pip and Estella may finally be together.

First Haggard, now Paul Barnes, until yesterday pastor of the 2100-member Grace Chapel in Denver. Barnes confessed to fundagelical fudge-packin' and resigned his post, after — get this —
an anonymous phone call from a person who heard someone was threatening to go public with the names of Barnes and other evangelical leaders who engaged in homosexual behavior...
Yoiks! So there are more Colorado pastors infected with teh gay! Astounding. In my mind I see them dropping like ninepins in the biggest scandal since the Catholic Church Pedo Party of several years back.
Of course, there's a significant difference here, in that pedophilia is a vile crime, while there's nothing at all wrong with normal adult homosexuality. But the latter is very much the kind of activity that destroys the life of the average fundie, who has been indoctrinated by his religion to hate gays. And if the gay person in question happens to be oneself, then, well, one simply must hate oneself, mustn't one? What a lovely thing religion is. What joy and light in brings into people's lives.
I wonder how much more humiliation the Christian Right in this country can take. Let's hope it's lots and lots!

Every year, millions of people try to look younger by taking injections of Botox, a prescription drug that gets rid of facial wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles in the forehead. Although best known as a cosmetic procedure, Botox injections also have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat uncontrolled blinking (blepharospasm), lazy eye (strabismus), involuntary muscle contractions in the neck (cervical dystonia) and acute underarm sweating (severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis).
Botox users might be surprised to learn that they're actually receiving minute injections of a bacterial neurotoxin called botulinum, one of the most poisonous substances known. Exposure to large amounts of botulinum bacteria can cause a paralytic, sometimes-fatal disease called botulism. Last month, several Floridians were hospitalized with botulism after receiving injections of an anti-wrinkle treatment that authorities suspect was a cheap, non-FDA-approved imitation of Botox.
The botulinum toxin works by invading nerve cells, where it releases an enzyme that prevents muscle contraction. In recent years, scientists have determined that the enzyme binds to specific sites on proteins called SNAREs, which form a complex in the synapse between nerve and muscle cells. Without SNAREs, nerves cannot release the chemical signals that tell muscle cells to contract, and paralysis results.
"The botulinum enzyme selectively attacks one of the SNARE proteins and cuts it into two pieces," said Stanford University Professor Axel T. Brunger. "That's sufficient to disrupt its function. But the means by which the enzyme identifies and cleaves its target SNARE has been a subject of much speculation."
Now, Brunger and Stanford graduate student Mark A. Breidenbach have solved part of the puzzle. Their results, which will be published in the Dec. 12 online edition of the journal Nature, could help researchers develop alternative treatments for botulism and perhaps find new medical applications for Botox and other neurotoxins.
Clever machinery
There are seven forms of botulinum neurotoxin produced by seven different strains of the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, explained Brunger, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator who holds professorships in three Stanford departments—molecular and cellular physiology, neurology and neurological sciences, and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL).
"The seven botulinum neurotoxins cut SNARE proteins at different sites along the surface," he said. "Why that is, we really don't know exactly."
For the Nature study, the researchers focused on one of the seven forms, botulinum serotype A, which is the active ingredient in Botox. Breidenbach, lead author of the study, spent months in Brunger's lab trying to crystallize a SNARE/botulinum A complex for laboratory analysis. Unfortunately, the botulinum A samples usually ended up slicing the SNARE target in two, rendering it useless.
"The trick that Mark found was to introduce two specific mutations in the botulinum enzyme that would inhibit its function, but not to the degree that it would affect its structure," Brunger said. "These two mutations prevented it from cutting, so we could observe how it interacted with an intact SNARE."
The SNARE/botulinum A crystals were then taken to SSRL and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, where their structures were determined using a technique called x-ray crystallography. The results, published in Nature, reveal a complicated, three-dimensional maze of twisted proteins that look like gift-wrapping ribbons gone awry.
"What we've shown is that part of the targeted SNARE protein literally wraps itself around the botulinum A enzyme, using a large portion of the enzyme's surface for specific interactions," Brunger noted. "That's the novel finding in our study."
It turned out that the SNARE protein was actually bound to more than two-dozen sites on the enzyme. "Such an extensive interface between a neurotoxin and its target is unheard of," Brunger said. "What botulinum A has accomplished with this large interaction area is a high degree of specificity with just a single unit. Often in biology such specificity is accomplished by having large complexes of auxiliary proteins working together, but these bacteria use a very simple mechanism—in this case, a single protein. It's an extremely clever machinery."
New applications
Brunger hopes to determine the structures of other botulinum enzymes, along with a closely related neurotoxin that causes tetanus, another serious muscular disorder that affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year.
"Perhaps one could develop drugs that would treat botulism and tetanus by competing with specific binding sites on the surface of the neurotoxin," he said. "The idea is that you could inject people with a compound that would have an immediate effect."
Further research also could open the door to novel medical applications, Brunger added. For example, recent experiments have shown that Botox may be useful for treating ringing in the ears (tinnitus), urinary incontinence and excess scarring that occurs when a wound heals.
"This whole field is very young and evolving, and the picture we have so far is incomplete," he concluded.
The study was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.

Round 2 of the ESPN bloodletting began today, and a source tells us that Howie Schwab—remember Stump the Schwab?—was among those let go.
We hear a senior researcher has also been let go and that five open positions in the production department will be eliminated. ESPNews's Highlight Express, which scored a 0.0 in the Nielsen ratings a few months back, is getting canceled.
UPDATE, 5:38 p.m.: The Schwab just posted a note to his Facebook page. He is not happy:
After 26 years at ESPN, I am extremely disappointed to say farewell. I have been proud of my association and my work during my tenure. I was a loyal employee, displayed respect for others, worked with numerous charities, represented the company well. I always did everything asked of me and more. What did I get in return today … word that I should get lost. The only thing that mattered was my salary, which in my view was the lone reason I lost my job.
UPDATE, 6:39 p.m.: Dick Vitale responds to the news, sorta tepidly:
UPDATE, 6:46 p.m.: We've also heard that a number of in-house cameramen have been let go, up to about four or five of guys. A tipster tells us: "Main reason they were let go was bc company made their jobs obsolete by making producers shoot their own stuff with what are called 'bureau kits.'"
