The source of that smell
My family teases me about my nose. No, it's not large or funny shaped, or even particularly small or adorable. My nose is just very sensitive. One might even call it HYPER sensitive. Some close to me think it's really funny to roll their eyes at me when I mention things I smell. Others simply tell me that I'm "imagining things". Regardless, I am known for my nose.
I can detect scents and odors where others will remain oblivious. So, when others in my home begin to mention that they smell something bad, I know things have gotten really out of hand.
But let me back up a bit.
When we moved into our house last January, I noticed a bit of a, shall we say, funky smell in what was to be my youngest son, Aidan's, room. I probably should have been suspicious when I found *this* in his closet:
It's one of those scented stick-ups, you know, that is supposed to mask nasty odors? It's stuck to the wall, about one foot up from the ground, just inside the closet door. I recall thinking at the time, "Hmmmm...the person who lived in this room before must've had really smelly shoes".
Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. The smell began to get worse. Soon, Aidan mentioned the smell, too, and I knew I wasn't crazy. Eventually, Jim, too, had to admit that there was, indeed, a horrible smell emanating from our 16-year-old's bedroom (and it was NOT the 16-year-old!).
Then we started to hear it, a rustling and bumping from inside one of the walls. It's an odd wall for a sound to be coming from, though, as it's the interior closet wall that extends into the room itself:
After running my super power nose along the entire circumference of Aidan's room, there was no doubt that the smell was coming from there. Then, the smell began to get worse. It took on an almost cyclical pattern...it would go from bad to worse and then wane a bit, only to get bad again. Since we kept hearing the noises, I thought something was actually living, and had possibly built a nest, in there.
Finally, after months of trying to mask the smell and hoping that the problem would just go away, we gave up and, the other night, finally cut a hole in the wall.
This is what we found:
What is it, you ask? I'll spare you the extreme close-up, but this is what sixteen (yes, 16) dead and decomposing mice look like:
Apparently this section of the wall acts as kind of a "chute" that the mice are falling down into and are then unable to get back out. How do we know there were 16 in there? Jim counted tails as he pulled them out. Sometimes, it was only the tail that was left.
After thoroughly cleaning out the mouse CHUTE OF DEATH, we cut another hole the next stud over to make sure it was just that one section that the mice were getting stuck in:
Yup. No other mice to be found. Now we have two holes in the drywall. But wait...what is that SMELL?!!
Well, the upside is that we seem to have located and isolated the problem. The downside is that the smell is still there. Rotting mouse stench (known in educated circles as R.M.S.) has apparently permeated the drywall. Lysol, a constantly -running dehumidifier and plenty of ventilation is not even touching the odor. Now what?
I double-dog-dare them to laugh at my nose again!
33 comments:
Wow. Just... ew. My nose is super sensitive too, so I can only imagine how miserable it is for you! I wish I knew what to tell you to do about the drywall. Have you tried setting a dish of vineagar in there to soak up some of the smell?ReplyDelete
OMG. But, believe it or not, the smart goat has a suggestion for you. You see, the first owners here had a dog kennel that had a shower stall in it. The mice got behind it and oh, the smell! The painter told us if we would paint over it with shellac based primer, it would kill the smell. We did and it works! That was two years ago and no smell has returned! Definitely worth a try (along with finding the opening to the 'Shoot of Death' or else insert a little ladder. :)ReplyDelete
My grandma told me many years ago that the plain (not the kind that has the lighter fluid on it) charcoal for grilling would take odors out of some cupboards in an apt. I had moved into.ReplyDelete
It worked! She suggested I put the charcoal briquets in and leave them for 24 hours, in the empty closed up cupboards, and then replace with new briquets (maybe 5 or so per shelf) each day until the odor was gone.
I don't know if it will work for you, but it's a very inexpensive thing to try. Good luck!!

I bought a car that had belonged to a smoker. Friends who recondition RVs told me to get an ionizer and run it in the car for a couple of nights -- it works like a charm. So you probably need to evacuate the 16 year old for a couple of years -- no make that days -- and run an ionizer. You can probably rent one.ReplyDelete
I have one of those super sensitive noses. Yikes, rotting mice! I know Oxy Clean works wonders, but not sure about adding moisture in this case. Maybe, just place a damp sponge soaked in oxy clean in this area, changing twice a day, I'm not sure. Good luck with whatever you try.ReplyDelete
I have no suggestions just sympathy. That is gross!ReplyDelete
OMG, I HAD AN OLD MALE CAT PEE ON A CHAIR AND COULD NOT GET THE SCENT OUT UNTIL I DISCOVERED BORAX. MADE UP A PASTE LET IT SIT AND RINSED IT. NO SMELL!ReplyDelete
Oh, you poor thing! That is so gross! I really hope you'll figure out a way to get rid of THAT smell.ReplyDelete

Hi Danni,ReplyDelete
I don't guess my nose is super sensitive but I have smell that R.M.S. before and it is not good.
I have a suggestion. clothes pins.
Yep, clothes pins on that super sensitive nose. lol...
No really, maybe baking soda would help.
Good luck with it.
That's inspiration for a murder mystery - she hides the chopped up body of her husband in the wall, (he didn't like her chickens and he threatened to butcher her 'em). Now he has vanished, nobody but her knows his whereabouts. :-)ReplyDelete
Wow, that's a distressing discovery! I have noted mice in my barn but I don't want a cat because I'm afraid it will go after the small chickens (the 10-12 week old ones). I liked the ladder suggestion someone else made. How will you stop it from continuing? Did you patch up the entry? Hope you can sort out the smell!ReplyDelete
Orange peels. Its my only suggestion for RMS.I know. Its lame, but with that nose of yours, what more can I do? I bow down to you. That really is whats important isn't it? There, I bowed twice.
Eeeeeeeuuuuuu! I hope one of the recommended remedies works for you! I so glad you finally discovered it, though, so you can figure out a way to get rid of the "mice death chute!"ReplyDelete
Yuck, yuck, yuck. I was going to suggest baking soda or vinegar, others have suggested it already. Good luck.ReplyDelete
Oh. My. Gosh. Now that is a story to tell............thank goodness you found it out!ReplyDelete
I once noticed a horrible stench in my kitchen. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and it was still there. I narrowed it down to my dishwasher and then I cleaned that and ran a few cycles with only hot water and vinegar.
The stench was still there, if not worse. My husband could not smell it, at least didn't think it was that bad. I was pregnant and he thought I was over reacting.
I convienced him to pull the dishwasher out because it HAD to be under there.He really thought I was crazy.
He pulled it out and then looked at me, shook his head, and started laughing. I assumed there was nothing there.....until he pulled out a dead mouse.
Each time I ran the dishwasher, I kind of just cooked it a little bit more...........making the stench worse. Go figure. *blech*
I can only imagine that scent, ugh! Your tale of the mystery stench was great, and the comments everyone left is even greater!ReplyDelete
Oh Danni I know exactly what you are going through. We did finally find out the cause of our stench. A dead mouse was in our furnace vent under the house. Farmer had to crawl around under there until he smelled the right place....directly under our hallway vents. Periodically we get mice in our walls and attic. I keep d-con there. My nose is ultra sensitive as well and most people don't smell what I smell. It drives them nuts when I am smelling something they can't because I can't let it go until I find the source. Maybe we should start a sensitive nose club. ha haReplyDelete
Danni that wall HAS to GO!!
I think you have something to keep you busy!
I don't have a remedy for the smell but if you get one of those habitrail tubes for hamsters, you could patch it from the chute of death, swing it around the room, make a hole in the wall and out to freedom. Not only will your son have a limitless amount of free pets, it could keep Roxy entertained as well. ;-pReplyDelete
Coffee grounds work too--they both absorb the bad odor and mask it. They use coffee grounds in shipping and airlines to get rid of smells between trips (like if you hauled onions and now need to haul fruit or something). Good luck--I can only imagine the stench!ReplyDelete

Good GRIEF cupcake! Who would have thought your life would take on such adventures!!:-) I vote for taking out the drywall and making Jim put up new, clean and fresh smelling drywall!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 1, 2008 at 8:43 AM
I'd rip all that dry wall outta there and redo it...but then I would also install a mouse habitat from the chute of death...you know, little tubes and a rolly ball, maybe a wheel. If you are going to have critters inside, you would at least know the moment they arrive!ReplyDelete
Well it looks like you alredy solved your problem with any new mice...now they won't be trapped inside the wall ;)ReplyDelete
now all you need to do is get a hamster habitat cage and mount it to the wall for a constant supply of pet mice.
Or just get a cat for your son to keep in his roomand trade one smell for anothe :)
My suggestion is the baking soda and then maybe a generous application of KILZ paint in the inside of the "chute" as far up as you can reach. However you may just have to replace the drywall to get to the top of the chute to seal it up. In any case apply a good wood sealer to any exposed wood before applying new drywall.

Me too Me too! I developed that hyper-smell sensitivity when I became pregnant and it never went away. Of course, the down side is you get to smell that RMS (gak!) before everyone else and you're ALWAYS the sniff checker. You know...."Here, smell this... is this still good?"ReplyDelete
OMG, I can relate. Years ago I kept smelling (off and on) a terrible odor. After several weeks we found that a mouse had been caught in DH's recliner. "Well, I guess I'll go to bed now (as he puts the foot rest down)." Snap!! Gotcha! Ewww, after that I never could understand how people could collect those "cute" little mouse knick-knacks for their kitchens! LOLReplyDelete
What a horrible death those poor little mice fell victim to.
Will you have to take out the entire wall and replace it with new drywall?
Maybe you should become a sommelier and put your nose to good use in more esteemed circles where it will be better appreciated.
Oh Danni, that is just bad!!! We had that happen in a rental we lived in. Very not pleasant. I had no idea what the smell was so I kept using clean linen scented air fresheners. To this day I can't stand the smell of them. Reminds me of dead things!ReplyDelete
Eeww, sound like some scene out of an Indiana Jones movie.ReplyDelete
I love to google, and it looks like you should be using something with an enzyme action to it---usually found in the pet aisle at the grocery store. You need something to break down the bacterial decomposition that is hanging out in the walls.
Also, someone else mentioned KILZ. You should maybe paint the walls of the closet with it.
I too, suffer from the sensitive nose problem. I can't go near scented stores (candles, Abercrombie, perfume)--I get a headache immediately.
I comment twice on this post but it didn't show up...was it something I said and you moderated me out? I'll try to be more appropriate next time:)ReplyDelete
I know what it was....you got soooo many comments you had to get rid of a few..right..that's it!
Well, I read your post and then I read all of the great ideas to get rid of the smell.ReplyDelete
Personally, I agree with Warren, that I would tear out a big section of the drywall and replace it.(both sides) I think there has been so many of them that the smell is permanent. I would seal up the studs with some kind of polyurethane in case it got absorbed into the wood.
I don't think you can ever get out the smell of dead things.
Is there an attic above this wall? Or is there an upstairs? If there is an attic, that is easier to get up into to see how the mice are getting in. If there is an upstairs, you may need to punch a hole near the ceiling of the chute to see if you can seal the opening at the top.
Ok, long answer, sorry.
Oh yeah - I know that smell! You see I used to live at this old camp that was built in 1919... about 80 years later we found where the mice - and RATS - went to die.ReplyDelete
Not pretty. In any way, shape, or form.
I'm so sorry.
And yes, you're right. It does permeate everything - we had to replace some of the studs, tons of drywall, repaint, etc.
Not fun.

Holy Crap...and I don't say that lightly!ReplyDelete
That is just the worst thing I could have imagined causing that smell, and I have a very vivid imagination...bleck, that is all I can say BLECK!
You didn't happen to see what kind of mice they were? Our NW deer mice are notorious carriers of a terrible virus. I don't mean to scare you but we had a death around here lately from it, so please always use masks and gloves and dealing with anything mice related. Kim, your concerned northern neighbor.
I think you should install a "rat/mouse" box that is removable from the inside. Unless you fix the problem they are going to continue to fall in there. so you could use it as a mouse trap. when you hear one thumping around push the button to close the lid, flip the locks and grab the handle and pull it out of the wall with the rat inside. Ooooo you could patent it! People would install them in houses they are building, you could be rich and all because of your nose!ReplyDelete

While fall in Pittsburgh has a beautiful display of many different colors of leaves, those leaves can wreak havoc on a property owner's lawn. Colorful leaves eventually fall from the trees and wind up on the lawn, creating hours of work cleaning them up. While raking the leaves may seem like a tedious chore, it is a necessary one. Understanding the reasons why leaf removal is important to your lawn may help to convince you to hire a professional Leaf Removal Service to help with the work.
- Leaves can smother the grass. Fallen leaves that lay on the grass deprive it of sunlight, which is necessary for its health and proper growth. Leaves turn the energy from the sun into food storage, which is essential for the root area during the winter months.
- Leaves deprive the yard of oxygen. Grass is a key source of oxygen, producing more for the environment at a greater rate than an identical area of trees.
- Leaves trap moisture within the yard. Trapped moisture can create problems with fungus, which can lead to crown and root rot in your lawn. Severe fungus problems can be difficult to treat.
- Accumulated leaves can cause safety issues. Wet leaves on sidewalks or driveways can be slippery, particularly when wet, and lead to accidents!
When it comes to leaf removal, it may be tempting to wait until all of the leaves have fallen, but it is much better for the overall health of your lawn to rake them as soon as possible.
Because leaf removal can be a time-consuming chore, let the experts at Treesdale Landscaping take care of the leaves this fall, and give you more time for the things that you really want to do. Having Treesdale Landscaping's Leaf Removal Services will ensure that the job is not only done when it's needed, but that it's done right! Our landscaping professionals will help to keep your yard looking its best and healthy, not just during the fall, but all year long!

FILM The Conversation
'The Conversation': A Brilliantly Composed Symbol of Watergate America
Cinephilia and Beyond Another longform form this wonderful film site. Please if you use it make a small contribution.
As an added treat a pdf of the screenplay, by Copploa, written in 1973, which is downloadable, but if you want it not to be popping up up as a webpage but as a file on your PC, make sure to save it as such.
The centre-piece is a facsimile of an interview in Filmmakers Newsletter, 1974, with with Brian De Palma and Coppola getting into the nitty-gitty of The Conversation's conception and making. De Palma going on to make Blow Out in 1980, starring John Travolta.
NB. Coppola mentions Blow Up as an influence.
Also, for the real enthusiasts: Drew Morton's video essay, Cross-Cut, looking at Blow Up [1960], The Conversation [1973] and Blow Out [1980], here embedded in this Indewire page with a short intro. It's only 6 mins long, a true video essay made up of just video, doing the job of comparing and contrasting – film explaining film – not one of those video clip/slide-show type-thingummies with lecture tagged on. Though many of this type can be good, there is that thing about whether such a detailed lecture might be better as a separate essay/paper. That debate about video essays is probably still going on. Now the video essay, a well-thumbed subject in itself, has evolved a lot since the early days, with academics pouring over them in various ways.
If you know your three films well, and you're into film-making, can't fail to be impressed by Drew's brilliant editing.
Before coming across Drew Morton's essay when he first put it up, had myself spent inordinate amounts of time taking screen grabs of all three films, hoping to construct a slide show doing the same thing, lacking the wherewithall to do clips, again with no audio essay superimposed on the visuals. Having seen Drew's, the idea was soon dropped, but mine would have gone into a lot more detail of all three films. Self-evidently video essays are not ideal for anyone who doesn't know the film or films. And one of my pet hates, trailers giving awy too much information, even Drews sparse choice of clips would give too much away, in my extreme trailersist view.
A trailerist of course almost kicks in TV screens while shoutung, No, No, No! trying to stop it when the next episode of a series is laid out in such detail as to provide a clear impression of the whole plot, even if it's a bit jumbled up.
Drew's vimeo page shows he's not been a slacker, producing many classy video essays.
Drew has put up earlier shorter versions of Cross-Cut, linked to below, which each have two intercut quotes, but no voice-over, which point to film essays and the video essay form, rather than directly to the three films.
As he puts in his comments on v .5:
"What began as "A poetic introduction to the fiction film as videographic criticism that seeks to illustrate the works of Raymond Bellour and Laura Mulvey through BLOW OUT, BLOW UP, and THE CONVERSATION" eventually became a more modest experiment in exploring the narrative, stylistic, and thematic connections between Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW-UP, Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION, and Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT. This is the first – thumbnail – version."
and v .75 :
"What began as "A poetic introduction to the fiction film as videographic criticism that seeks to illustrate the works of Raymond Bellour and Laura Mulvey through BLOW OUT, BLOW UP, and THE CONVERSATION" eventually became a more modest experiment in exploring the narrative, stylistic, and thematic connections between Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW-UP, Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION, and Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT. This is the second version – made before the theoretical framing device was ultimately jettisoned.
Differences from Version .5: I realized that I needed to begin intercutting between the three films earlier to establish more of an aesthetic rhythm and conceptual dynamism. If I had stuck with the structure outlined in draft .5, I wouldn't have introduced THE CONVERSATION until almost 2 minutes in (and BLOW OUT probably nearly three minutes). In short, it was becoming a piece dominated by discrete thirds without really doing much intellectually."

FILM VIDEO ESSAY Drew Morton's Cross-Cut
Explore the narrative, stylistic, and thematic connections between Michelangelo
Antonioni's BLOW-UP, Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION, and Brian DePalma's BLOW OUT with this video essay entitled "Cross-Cut." Note: This video essay originally began as a more theoretical project. The other drafts have been posted to Vimeo for the sake of pedagogy.
CROSS-CUT (AKA Cinefilea, Version .5)
CROSS-CUT (AKA Cinefilea, Version .75)
CROSS-CUT (AKA Cinefilea, Version 1.0)
What began as "A poetic introduction to the fiction film as videographic criticism that seeks to illustrate the works of Raymond Bellour and Laura Mulvey through BLOW OUT, BLOW UP, and THE CONVERSATION" eventually became a more modest experiment in exploring the narrative, stylistic, and thematic connections between Michelangelo Antonioni's BLOW-UP, Francis Ford Coppola's THE CONVERSATION, and Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT. This is the final version of the theoretically framed "Cinefilea" version.
Differences from Version .75: Thanks to notes from Benjamin Sampson and Adrian Martin, I've tried to be more evocative in the opening (hence the use of the photographs from BLOW OUT and BLOW UP). I've also broken up the text quotations to assist in this and the reader.
Rationale for Why This Version Was Ultimately Abandoned:
My objective was to make a video essay about video essays through these three films with three theoretical texts without resorting to voice-over. After asking a range of colleagues for notes (including Corey Creekmur, Chiara Grizzaffi, Adrian Martin, and Benjamin Sampson), it became quickly apparent that clearly did not work. I typically make video essays that are either argumentative and theoretical (and thus voice-over driven and incredibly structured according to a progression of evidence) or largely evocative and poetic pieces. I had never really tried to cross the streams before and this piece functions as an artifact of that rather contradictory impulse and the dialogue that ensued between us afterwards. To boil it down, it isn't easy to fuse scholarship and poetry when you're making a found footage film. When I tried to superimpose cinephilia onto these three films, their original meanings and contexts exerted too much of a hold.

The Importance of Cinematography
A 5.50 min video by Saun McDougall [Sean McDougall, McDougallFilm. What no website?]
There are terazillions of videos on cinematography. But this is a catchy title. The importance of anything surely gets your attention over A Guide to Basic Cinematography – yet the latter is a good video for someone who has read books, seen stills and diagrams but yearns to see film explained in film. Barring the neat postage stamp famous film examples popping up top right, it is a text book. But let's have it called I Love Cinematography with the narrator appearing left, cartwheeling into medium shot, then running to camera for his close-up, puffing, hair awry: "I love cinematography and this is why…."
101 Film anything doesn't quite do it title-wise. Earnest, but not sounding important. Lots of good videos, but look fella-me-guys we need titles, Gone with the Cinematographer, Lost in Cinematography, The Silence of the Cinematographer, The Pursuit of Cinematography, There Will Be Cinematography, Synecdoche, Cinematography. That Obscure Object of Cinematography. Now you're watching.
Richard Michalak's {1} (there must be a series somewhere..) is the best Idiot's Short Information-Packed Guide to Cinematography I've seen so far. Mark Fenton who put it up (with permission he says..) calls it, Cinematography Learn from a Master. O.k, let's loop back to the previous paragraph for the names bit.
Next it'll be the nexus of writer, director, cinematographer and editor. Descriptions of people working together, not theory. Best/worst. Someone said in something I just read that the screenwriter and the editor are considered the more creative of this group. But before that a few links in a separate post on what the cinematographer aka the director of photography does when he gets hold of the screenplay. But before that a couple of who wins cinematography awards.

Cinema in the Interstices
Cinema in the Interstices: Editorial
Conscious of the underlying significance of this term and its many interpretations within the context of visual culture, particularly as related to film and screen media, Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media set out to provide a forum to explore the myriad of interstices that exist both within the medium of film and between film and other media, firstly in the form of an international conference held at University College Cork in September 2012, and now in a special issue of Alphaville dedicated to the topic.
Lot's and lots to read.
I was drawn in by the word interstice. A wonderful sounding word which most people couldn't pronounce let alone define. The editorials starts with:
The interstice: something empty, something minute—a crevice, a chink, a narrow gap—yet, in spite of this definition of something apparently slight and inconsequential, one perhaps may make the claim that the interstice serves as a foundational element of film. The "intervening space", as the OED defines it, in its celluloid form provided the connection between multiple images, allowing them to run together to form the illusion of movement. While this interstitial black strip that imperceptibly framed the moving image is no longer a constituent part of cinema in its current digital format, interstices continue to proliferate in screen media, perhaps to a greater extent than ever. Indeed, just as cinema originated in the interstices between theatre, painting, literature and photography, this intermediality takes on a redefined role in the digital era, with the lines between cinema, television, art, video and new media becoming increasingly difficult to define.
And so I was off, thinking about black bars between frames of pellicule. Though I knew in my bones, chasing a few rabbits down their holes, this was the entre to a lot more things of interest and use among a whole swathe I probably wouldn't understand or be bothered with. But how do you know till you read?
And so what exactly are the film things I am bothered with? Think, Think. One, how films are made, particularly cinematography and editing, aesthetics goes without saying (but there, I've said it), and the limits of film (and the sort of questions that cropped up when Godard started writing in the Cahiers and then made films himself which, if we use A Bout de Souffle, was often about how film was not up to the job he wanted it to do – and/or was dead and gone in the terms in which he saw it: in two words Eisenstein and montage. Godard a writer trying a new medium and as I see it often being disappointed and expressing this disappointment in his own films. Alright, I admit it, I've been trying Histoires yet again). Phew! How hard it is to attend to three things at once and have the added disadvantage of English subtitles. Perhaps better without enough French to read La « partition » des Histoire(s) du cinéma de Jean-Luc Godard by Céline Scemama as a companion-piece to Histoire(s). My ideal: watch it first, then the transcription,then both together. But it becomes a study not an experience, where it has to be watched on DVD to stop it at will.
The start point – stimulated by the Alphaville editorial's first para – was that black gap between each frame. Faux naively (sometimes the ridiculously obvious can turn up insights) I mused the black dividing lines had to be there because of the way a roll of film running through a camera exposed individual frames. A shutter or shutters opened to expose each frame and it couldn't do it quick enough to have no gap between frames. Though of course even if that were feasible, with each frame abutting directly to the next, the separation of frames as they are by a gap might well be needed to help create the moving images at a certain speed of projection. Who knows – not many – if the movie would work projected without the few millimeters of black space?
It wasn't there in order to. It was there because it had to be there, and then they found a way to get over these leetel black bars between frames by projecting the film at a certain speed both to eliminate them from perception, and eventually at 24fps to get a movie that wasn't jerky as the early silent films were.
Then the assertion that
[..] cinema originated in the interstices between theatre, painting, literature and photography
made me think some more – and this is the first paragraph of the editorial! – what interstices were these exactly? That later.
The fourth wall. We know that cinema was distinctly theatrical in it's beginnings. But surely, film rather than being in cracks between the traditional arts – once the theatrical style was left behind – was a new art form which superimposed itself on them as a whole, using them; or perhaps that the arts fed directly or indirectly into film, rather than the other way round. Or even that it parasitised on them or was in symbiosis with them. Or both. Or saprophytic. Or even commensal. But it did become the predominant – as in popular and wide-spread – art form the 20 century. Pretty quickly it was the flicks people went to see instead of music hall – certainly not art galleries or museums. Though come to think of it, music and film became close partners in a way that art and theatre did not. Theatre and ballet became favourite subjects of film and have remained so to the present day. Opera became the musical. But film technique has developed on its own.

FILM ADAPTATION Re-visiting Pinter's Proust
The previous post about novel and screenplay made me think again of Pinter and his Proust Play.
These two were not around when I did my Pinter/Proust posts*

FILM WEBSITE PODCAST Intercut
Why use my own words when those of the website are readily available and, well, they know what they're doing. I'm just shining my spotlight on another corner of the film world magnificently exposed to everyone – film expert, buff, film student, even those unsure about film over book – through the wonders of the interweb:
INTERCUT is a film podcast supported by the #yegfilm collective which explores a love of film, the process of filmmaking, and filmmakers themselves.
I started with Dailies #1 purely because it has Michael Douglas in Kubrick's 1957 Paths of Glory as it's cover. Think it's time to watch that again. What a pleasure to hear them start talking about Bela Tarr. Since I've spent hours rewinding the opening cow sequence of Tarr's Satantango, hearing anyone at all talking about his films is really exciting.
My Tarr's can be found in this search on Cutting on the action. Slow, slow film, requires slow, long posts.
N.B. I'm not a film expert, I just watch films and dream of making my own. (The making equivalent of the guy working in the New York restaurant as a waiter who says he's an actor, usually seen as a scene in a film…). So don't expect illumination: you might be disappointed. Anywhere I have written at length about a film is mostly me working through things about a particular film I've just seen. It won't be expert analysis or criticism. Or if turns out to be either or both, that's probably purely accidental.
P.S. Check out these images of Paths to Glory. There's a whole set of posts in there on colour and black & White film…
….note the way light rays and blocks of light on objects work so well in monochrome.
FILM unfilm
Bored with film? Same old thing? A Gun, a Girl; a Girl and her Gun; A Girl Without a Gun but a lot of fun, that type of thing.
Critics unsatisfying? Theorists obtuse, incomprehensible? What else is there? What can a film enthusiast do? Read film books? Sit in a dark, quiet room? Or even a quiet, dark room.
At last a
real alternative.
Enter the world of unfilm.
Investigative journalists Ivan Rigor and Fern F. Feliciano recently unearthed film in the Archive of the Soviet Film Academy. So far no has come forwards with a plausible explanation. Who'd want to bury a film? Oh, yes, critics, forgot that.

FILM Are screenplays literature?
This was a post in a previous blog of mine called Moleskine modality, which is linked to from here. Looking for a post I did on Bliar and the Iraq invasion of 2003, I also had a quick look at what I had written in Moleskine. It's defunct as a posting site, but has a great many links to all sorts of things that might be useful. It was as much about books and writers as film. I decided to move on to a dedicated film (and a bit of photography) blog instead of book/film. It was partly because I was getting fed up with Blogger. It seems a lot better now, and has even got pretty good free themes which tend to show up WordPress.
So here's the post on screenplays as literature, or not:
It's his title, not mine. This essay has three parts:
Are Screenplays literature? Part I
Are Screenplays Literature? Part II
Are Screenplays Literature? Part III
This came about because of a decision suddenly – the decision version of a flash memory which had a simple, clear nachrechtfertigung to drop a very absorbing and pleasurably expanding (the polite word for ideas-creep) novel in favour of a very ancient screenplay/novel project which began in the late 80s.
Without getting through the first part of this essay on the screenplay I was already running with the notions. Yes, of course, the film = the novel. Then: what, if we are drawing tables of analogues, is the novel equivalent of the screenplay? Reading on I see the publication of screenplays as if they were literature has become the thing.
I have never seen the screenplay as the finished product. The bit that we do when we read the book (because it is the reader input which adds the final touch to the skill and insights of the writer) is what the writer (constantly readjusting his script to the needs of the film), director, actors, cinematographer, stage designer, location manager do. Then, as I have hinted at in some of the links under screenplay/scripts, there are later adaptations of the original screenplay floating about which the novice would have no idea are not the start point. It can be difficult to see which is which when someone hasn't been careful enough at the time to record what is what, and/or because things get lost.
I have mentioned something I noticed when doing a generalised screenplay foray a while back: often what you see online is someone's transcription of the film, not the screenplay itself.
To make the screenplay as much like the finished novel ( = [novel] + [readers cognition]} necessitated the writer's instructions. Stating the bleeding obvious, though a perfect dialogue by itself can work pretty well given an imaginative reader, without 'stage' direction something of what is in most novels has been left out. Strictly speaking like is not being compared to like.
The money quotes come from part III:
What is Literature?
The 19th-century novelist George Eliot (a woman writing under a man's name) defined literature this way: "the nearest thing to life; it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds (=limits) of our personal lot (=fate)."
Terrence McGiver, a teacher, expands the definition: "Literature helps us grow, both personally and intellectually. It provides an objective base for knowledge and understanding. It links us with the cultural, philosophic, and religious world of which we are part. It enables us to recognize human dreams and struggles in different places and times that we otherwise would never know existed. It helps us develop mature sensibility and compassion for the condition of all living things — human, animal and vegetable. It gives us the knowledge and perception to appreciate the beauty of order and arrangement, which a well-constructed song or a beautifully painted canvas also gives us."
Other observers have pointed out that literature is written to be read aesthetically; that it emphasizes character over plot; that it must be worth re-reading; that it contains enduring human themes; that it is the opposite of trash.
All these definitions give clues why it's so easy to conclude that screenplays are not literature.

Yannick Bolasie may have left Crystal Palace under something of a cloud when departing for Everton but yesterday, footage emerged which saw him hinting rather heavily about wanting to return to Selhurst Park.
This video sees Bolasie hype up his possible return to Palace, given the bond he has with the club. I wouldn't say no…
Speaking directly to "Ball Street" at a promotional event, the DR Congo winger was being quizzed about the return of Wayne Rooney to Goodison Park, with the interviewer suggesting that the Manchester United legend was in fact well past his sell-by date. Defending Everton's new recruit, as you would expect, Yala managed to crowbar his love for Palace neatly into the conversation, putting a smile on the face of every Eagles fan in the process.
At the time of his move to Merseyside, tensions were running high within Palace's fan-base. With Alan Pardew still at the helm and Yannick himself having seemingly grown frustrated with life in south London, the eventual parting of ways was a painful one but now, a year (and one long-term injury later) Bolasie's love for the club is shining through once more.
I admitted on Twitter last night to feeling genuine regret over thinking badly of Yannick for making the move to Everton, simply because of the affection he still shows towards us whenever the opportunity arises. Whilst I felt justified in expressing my anger at the time, the months that have passed since have shown us that he still feels deeply connected to the club, stating on more than one occasion that he is a Palace fan.
Whilst it feels like an impossible move this summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see the club looking to bring Yala back into the fold at some point in the not too distant future. With a bevy of stars now populating the Toffees' squad and Bolasie still working to return from a serious lay-off, he's got his work cut out for him in more ways than one.
Call it sentimentality if you wish but the above footage proves to me that he's keen to come home. Let's hope it's not too long before we're reunited.

Helping your children learn how to care for their braces will aid in their dental hygiene. Here are a few tips on how you and your child can work together to make sure they look after their braces properly.
Have the proper tools to clean their braces
Having new and different tools in the bathroom creates encouragement and excitement for your child and will help them to be more proactive about their oral hygiene. There are specific products on the market designed for braces and the maintenance of them, ask your orthodontist at AAA Orthodontics about the products they would recommend.
Teach your child the new way to brush their teeth
Braces create hiding places for food to get stuck in and without knowing the correct way to brush with your braces on, these tiny bits of food may cause problems at a later stage. Choose your child's favourite song and ask them to brush their teeth and do a little dance around the bathroom for the entire length of the song. This will ensure that the braces-wearer is brushing for a suitable amount of time.
Upgrade your floss and learn the new technique
Wire stretched across teeth can pose a challenge when it comes to flossing. However, flossing is still an important step in maintaining good oral hygiene and is still encouraged. Give us a call about the specific floss we recommend for your child to use. Give your child a helping hand, in the beginning, to teach them until they get the hang of it.
Create an exciting event out of their oral care
The more time spent focusing on their dental hygiene the easier it will be for your child to make it a priority in their minds. Make their brushing and flossing routine fun and a moment for good quality time by incorporating items and things that they love. Whether it be their favourite song, a new toothbrush in their favourite colour or a fun game between you both, they will be bouncing up and down with excitement; eager to keep their teeth healthy and their braces clean!
Braces are an opportunity to teach responsibility
Caring for braces requires effort and discipline, with tangible consequences for ignoring the rules. Work with your child in explaining to them the rules as well as the consequences of breaking them. Placing partial responsibility for their oral health on them will aid you in teaching your child the value of consistency. Ask your orthodontist or even other members of our staff at AAA Orthodontics to have a chat with your child about oral hygiene can help them take the care of their braces more seriously.
Certain foods are now off-limits
Hard and sticky foods are generally out the window when it comes to braces. Eating hard and sticky foods can potentially break certain braces or cause damage. There may be a few temper-tantrums or crocodile tears because their favourite hard toffee is no longer on the grocery list. Toffees and gum can be difficult to dislodge from between braces, so the best way to avoid a sticky situation is to avoid sticky sweets.
Swish some water around for a quick fix
An easier solution to a few stray pieces of lunch getting stuck in braces is to vigorously swirl the water around in the mouth to flush out any bits from between the braces. This method is brilliant for when your child is busy or is unable to floss immediately. However, flushing out braces with water may work for one or two loose bits of food but more stubborn pieces will need to still be regularly flossed away.
Replace their toothbrush more frequently
Increasing the amount of time your child spends brushing their teeth will cause more wear-and-tear sooner. Brushing over the brackets and metal of their braces will cause their toothbrush to deteriorate faster, as soon as the bristles begin to fray it might be time for a new toothbrush.
Your orthodontist knows best
If you have doubts or questions concerning your child's braces it is always best to approach the team at AAA Orthodontics with your concerns or queries. If you have any questions, fill out our convenient online enquiry form.

Beautifying Oils: 4 Routine-Changing Products
Oils are a huge component of the natural beauty routine, and can be used in quite literally every step of your self-care ritual. The oils used in green beauty formulations are carefully curated and combined to create lush formulas, absolutely packed with antioxidants, natural retinols, omegas, and other potent nutrients that heal and nourish the skin- naturally! Since oils are lipophilic, they are able to pass through the outer lipid layer and penetrate into the skin, also acting as a carrier to draw other skincare products deeply into your skin (and hair!).
For their countless beautifying qualities, oils have been used in beauty rituals since ancient times and are still working their magic today. That said, it's easy to be a bit overwhelmed by all the different uses and options. Luckily for us, Eco Diva carries tons of oil-wonder-products that are sure to wow you whether you're an oil novice or expert. I've tested countless formulations, and compiled a list of four different oil-based products for four different uses. Also keep in mind that oils are very versatile and one product can often be multipurpose, so they're a great investment product if you're looking to upgrade your collection.
1. Facial Cleanser: Max and Me Purity and Grace
Oil cleansing is an ancient method of cleansing the skin that draws sebum and skin-clogging particles out like a magnet. This appropriately named, luxurious facial cleanser by Max and Me is the pinnacle of oil cleansers. Not only does it remove makeup and clean the skin, but it leaves your face feeling so smooth and nourished you could make this a one-step evening ritual.
2. Facial Treatment / Serum: Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Oil
This facial oil is so potent as a skincare step, it can be used as not only a moisturizer, but a serum. If you're looking for an effective skincare treatment that you can use both night and day (it's designed to look ethereally gorgeous under makeup), that sinks into the skin with a light as air finish, then this is the facial oil for you.
3. Perfume: Leahlani Perfume Oil
While most conventional perfumes are notorious for being particularly harmful since "fragrance" does not need to be defined, pure perfume oils from Leahlani are good to the last drop. Infused with organic essential oils and extracts, you can adorn yourself in these warm, tropical scents knowing they don't only smell dreamy, but nourish the skin that they touch.
4. Body Moisturizing Serum: Kahina Body Serum
This intoxicatingly addictive body serum leaves your skin feeling hydrated and softly scented with a warm, woody, earthy notes. After showering and toweling off, your skin drinks in this oil and glows from the inside out. If you're going out somewhere special, apply this oil to any exposed skin for a goddess-like glow.
These adorning oils are a wonderful addition to any routine, particularly dry and thirsty skin. Part of the fun of a beauty ritual is finding what works for you, so experiment, play, and make your own rules. Combine oils of your own to see what works for you, and always have fun, that's the ultimate beauty secret.

While often lamented, Triumph's 1500cc, four-cylinder engine is still owned and loved by thousands of enthusiasts. Almost 100,000 of these engines were used in the 1973-'80 Spitfires, and nearly as many were used in MG Midgets sold from 1975 and later.
Right off the bat, this larger engine delivered more torque than its predecessor. More torque, as we know, helps produce better acceleration numbers.
But there were some problems. Detractors complained of durability and drivability issues.
These engines were known to be delicate, especially if over-revved. The three-main-bearing design did not lend itself well to hard use. Thrust washers needed to be maintained, or crank walk would destroy them as well.
The biggest problem with these engines, however, had to be the single, emissions-era Zenith Stromberg CV carburetor. To save money and meet the ever-stricter U.S. emissions standards, American-market versions of this 1500 were fed by just one carb, not the dual SU setup found on earlier Spitfires.
While adding main bearings and redesigning thrust washers is not an easy feat, at least one of the engine's problems can be addressed: without much headache better carburetion.
Some enthusiasts opt for a Weber DGV down-draft or single side-draft 40 DCOE setup. These are both good solutions, but we went with an even easier fix on our 1973 Spitfire.
In England, Triumph Spitfire 1500s were sold with dual SU carbs. A nifty-looking, dual-inlet air cleaner wrapped in a black crackle finish was part of the package. The factory paired these preferred carburetors with a free-flowing, cast-iron exhaust manifold that emptied into twin pipes. These SU carburetors may be older technology, but they have served many owners very well through the decades. They've even won countless SCCA championships.
For about $400, we sourced a set of these carbs, the proper intake manifold, a factory European exhaust manifold and a downpipe from Quantum Mechanics. This firm finds these parts overseas and imports them for American enthusiasts. Because these parts are designed by Triumph to fit the cars, the swap is a snap and the results are nothing short of remarkable.

Back in October I had the pleasure to work with a lovely couple named Dirk and Chastity. They started out getting married at the Riverside Church in Morningside Heights. We took advantage of the beautiful leaves and October weather to take some photos in the surrounding area, and then head down to the reception. The party took place at Havana Central, also in upper Manhattan. The reception was held in a large private room in the back with beautiful booths and a really cool tile floor for the dancing. The flamenco band played some fiery Latin music and even offered some dancing lessons to the bride (who really didn't need it as she was an amazing dancer). Everyone had a wonderful time laughing, drinking, and dancing into the wee hours of the night.

New York City Wedding Photography- Briar and Isaac
First off to all couples who are getting married in New York City, I will be presenting a lecture at a very cool wedding fair this weekend called "Wedding Crashers". Check that link out for more information and if you want to go, shoot me an email and I can get you a discount on the tickets. It will be everything you need for a wedding all in one building, and the vendors are hand picked as some of Brooklyns best wedding vendors.
Now onto this awesome wedding I photographed a few months ago when the weather wasn't totally freezing like it is today! Briar and Isaac started off with a beautiful engagement session we did together in downtown Manhattan over the summer. We had a great time together for that so I knew they would be just as much fun during the day of the wedding. Their wedding took place in the gorgeous Bryant Park Grill, which gave us the opportunity to take some quintessential NYC photos around that area.
The dancing was amazing. The wedding cake was gorgeous (and made by the bride who is a pastry chef here in New York City!). I had a second photographer fly in from Denver, Colorado to shoot with me. Most of all though Briar and Isaac made for some beautiful wedding photos. What a great wedding.
A New York City Destination Wedding – Jamie and Katie
For Jamie and Katie, having their wedding in New York City was a destination wedding, as they came to me all the way from Ireland. I can't say enough about how much fun this wedding was to photograph. Their small intimate wedding really had a special feel to it, throughout the entire day. They made me feel like I was a part of the family from start to finish.
The ceremony was held in Central Park at the Ladies Pavillion, then we headed to through Central Park in a wedding march, and took some boats out on the lake at the Central Park Boathouse. I had my own boat and my own personal rower.. everyone was laughing and having an amazing time.
We took a few more photos at Grand Central Station, in the subway, and concluded in Times Square. In between all the photos we managed to go for a HUGE dinner at Churrascaria Plataforma, which is a Brazilian steakhouse, the kind where they walk around and cut you off meat from the spit..you don't leave that place hungry. I was invited to sit down with the family and have dinner. At the end of the meal there were toasts, and a bunch of friends and relatives said some really lovely things..I was photographing the whole thing and then at the end, when everyone was finished with their speeches I was the only one standing. Everyone looked at me and in their Irish accents yelled, "Danny boy! you need to say something now!" I've been asked to give wedding speeches before, but that's at weddings where I'm invited as a guest, not working as a wedding photographer! It was pretty amusing, I just thanked everyone for the great time I was having.
If you're going to have a destination wedding in New York City, these are all really great places to take some photographs..and I think we got some great one's, in fact it was hard to narrow them down so I'm posting a lot from this wedding!
What a character this one was, I want to photograph his wedding someday!
Mohonk Mountain Wedding of Daniela and Chris
I wanted to post about this wedding I shot last fall at Mohonk Mountain today because the editor of Rock-N-Roll Bride contacted me and said she wanted to feature it today on their website. I really dig the style of her web site so of course I was enthusiastic. She particularly liked my use of the Holga for some wedding shots. A Holga is a plastic toy camera that uses 120 Medium Format film which I offer as an option to couples, shooting a few rolls shot at their wedding. I'm always enthused when a wedding couple chooses this because I know they're going to be a bit more adventurous with the photos. Daniela and Chris were awesome and we spent a lot of time roaming Mohonk Mountain's beautiful grounds during their wedding. You can't really tell by the photos but it was COLD out.. they were troopers though and have these gorgeous photos to remember the day by.. which I'm proud of.
And now for a few of the Holga Photographs:
And one of my personal favorites from the day:
And a fun way to end a wedding… saying "Thank You" of course:
While I'm extremely proud to consider myself a New York City Wedding Photographer, I always love to travel as with this wedding. If you're doing a destination wedding shoot me an email and I will probably travel to you (unless you're in like Utica, NY.. no offense 🙂

General News of Thursday, 5 January 2017
Source: classfmonline.com
The mode of appointment adopted by President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, clearly depicts a president who wants things done differently, Dr Etse Sikanku, a lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Journalism, has said.
According to him, Mr Akufo-Addo has clearly shown that he wants all those who constitute his government to work together as a team rather than be individualistic.
The president-elect on Wednesday January 4 announced some names of persons who will form part of his government.
The list includes Frema Osei-Opare as Chief of Staff and Nana Asante Bediatuo as Presidential Secretary.
Francis Asenso-Boakye is Deputy Chief of Staff/Political Assistant to the president while Samuel Abu Jinapor has been named Deputy Chief of Staff. Ambassador Hassan Ahmed is Director of State Protocol, Eugene Arhin Director of Communications at the presidency, and Lord Oblitey Commey Director of Operations at the Presidency.
The others are Saratu Atta and Napaga Tia Sulemana as presidential staffers, Brigadier General Emmanuel Okyere as National Security Advisor with National Security Coordinator going to Joshua Kyeremeh. Minister-designate for National Security is Albert Kan-Dapaah and Director of Research is Victor Newman.
His manner of announcing the appointees differs from what has been witnessed in the past when presidents issued a long list of appointees in a press statement. But Dr Sikanku believes this is apt.
Speaking in an interview with Emefa Apawu on Class 91.3FM's '505' programme on Wednesday January 4, he said: "The usual thing is for names to be passed around in a press release and the media takes it and assimilates it and discusses it, so I think this is a rarity rather than the norm.
"We know the inauguration is on Saturday and so he probably wants to make sure that he has a firm team in place before the inauguration in order that there wouldn't be any disarray or confusion as to who is in charge of what.
"[Secondly], he probably wants to make sure that he hits the ground running on the inauguration day and the immediate aftermath of it so that there is a clear sense of direction as to who is in charge of what."
He added: "...His mode shows a man who wants to do things differently, it shows that he wants to have people work together more as a team rather than as individuals."

text: Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are reportedly ready to "take the plunge" and get married. The Hollywood stars have been together for nine years and have sons Sasha, seven, and five-year-old Sammy. Liev gave Naomi a ring back in 2009 and they have both said they don't want to rush walking down the aisle - although apparently that is set to change. 'They would do anything for their kids, and they think it will be a fun family thing to plan together.'"Marriage was never a big deal to Naomi or Liev. But now their boys are asking why they aren't married, so they're gonna take the plunge," an insider told the American edition of OK!"They would do anything for their kids, and they think it will be a fun family thing to plan together."The couple are said to be considering a wedding later this year, probably around Christmas time. They haven't settled on any details at the moment, with suggestions when they do exchange vows it won't be a lavish affair. "It will end up being a small intimate wedding, with just immediate family and friends. Their sons will be the only members of the wedding party," the source explained.Naomi and Liev wouldn't be the first famous couple to wed for the sake of their children. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot last month, marking ten years since they first met. They are both on record admitting they felt the pressure to wed because of their six children, who were desperate to see them declared man and wife. The tots even offered their services as wedding planners, with Angelina previously laughing they either wanted a Disney or paintball-themed day.In the end the couple went for something more low-key, marrying in the chapel of their French estate.© Cover Media

I loves a bargain. Running my screen recently led me to Van Elle Holdings PLC, a company definitely meeting that criteria. Van Elle currently trades at a shade over seven times earnings, and only 0.67 times sales. It yields approximately 3.6% as well. But does it warrant a purchase? I'm going to enlist the help of one of my current holdings to try and find out.
