Fires on the Plain
Japan (1959): War
105 min, No rating, B&W
Also known as NOBI.
Based on the book by Shohei Ooka, which is said to be the greatest
Japanese novel to have come out of the Second World War, this film,
set on Leyte, is an obsessive cry of disgust. It's an appalling picture;
it's also a work of epic poetry. The subject is modern man as a
cannibal, and after a few minutes this subject doesn't seem at all
strange or bizarre: it seems, rather, to be basic. Tamura, the hero, is
one of the stragglers of the disintegrating retreating Japanese army-
terrified of the Americans, the Filipinos, and of each other. Tamura
walks across the plain unharmed because he is already a dead man:
he is tubercular-no one wants his flesh. In the middle of this desolation,
there are bonfires-ambiguous flames in the distance that kindle hope.
(Perhaps they are signal fires? Perhaps Filipino farmers are burning
corn husks? Perhaps there is still some normal life going on?) At the
end Tamura approaches the flames and his last illusion is dispelled.
Like the novel, which, as its translator, Ivan Morris, said, draws a
shocking analogy between "the cannibalism of the starving soldiers ...
and the Christian doctrine of the Mass," the film is very simple. The
passion that informs the character of Tamura is so intense that he
seems both painfully close to us and remote-detached from what is
ordinarily thought of as emotion. The atmosphere of the film is also
remote from our ordinary world: there is nothing banal, nothing
extraneous to the single-minded view of man in extremis. Directed by
Kon Ichikawa; the script is by his wife, Natto Wada. It's a masterpiece.

Pauline Kael, from 5001 Nights at the Movies

The Driver
US (1978): Crime
90 min, Rated PG, Color
This gangster picture, which failed commercially here and is also an
aesthetic failure, was Walter Hill's second film as a writer-director. (It
was made after HARD TIMES and before THE WARRIORS.) Hill
attempted to stylize gangster characters and conventions, and
although he succeeded in the action sequences, which have a near-
abstract visual power, the stylized characters, with their uninflected
personalities, flatten the movie out. In trying to purify the gangster film,
he lost the very element that has made gangster movies so enjoyable:
the colorful lowlifes and braggarts, with their own slang. (Instead, the
characters stare at each other in silence.) And in exalting
"professionalism"-in setting forth a neo-Hemingway elitist attitude for
judging people on the basis of their grace and courage-Hill shows
such a limited perspective that the film is comic-book cops-and-
robbers existentialism. Ryan O'Neal, with his soft voice, gives the
central role a strange, callow quality that's very effective, but as his
adversary in the police department, Bruce Dern is at his mannered
worst. As a woman of mystery, Isabelle Adjani drops her voice down to
a Dietrich level and never varies it-or her expression: she's as blank-
faced as a figure at Mme. Tussaud's. With Ronee Blakley, who looks
more vividly alive than anyone else but gets killed off fast, and Joseph
Walsh. Cinematography by Philip Lathrop. 20th Century-Fox.

I have a new book coming out in the FAll, written with Andrea Treadle (my old master). It's called The Freedom from Classic Narrative Fiction: Post-modern Cinema in the Age of the Technology Explosion. It was inspired by this quote by Don DeLillo:

We don't really know how technology will affect narrative. That's the question. See, people used to say that the novel is going to die, but they would never say that movies will die with it, when in fact all forms depend on the narrative. I think if one of them fails, the others are going to fail as well. Maybe this will happen to both forms, and maybe movies will take a totally different direction with fiction.

and also by Terrence Malick's dinosaur scene in Tree of Life.

It will be on sale on Amazon.com, sorry, I mean Lulu.com

Dead fishes and fresh fruit: J.D. Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish"
by James Grebmops

J.D. Salinger's famous short story, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" has been one of his most celebrated, and is largely responsible, along with _Catcher in the Rye_, for the author's reputation. Despite the fact that bananafish is a part of American culture, and many believe it actually exists, it is a creation of the main character in the story, Seymour Glass, about the last day of his life, during his honeymoon on Florida with his wife Muriel.

An area of contention in literary studies is the question of bananafish, a fictional species of fish discussed in the short story. Many, including noted literary critic Andrea Treadle, have seen in bananafish a symbol for Seymour's latent sexuality and possibly pedophilia. (21) However, recent Marxist criticism, championed mainly by Bishop (1995) have surfaced on which it is a symbol for the emptiness of bourgeois middle-class American society of the 1940s. (89) I will discuss in this essay how Bishop's theory supercedes Treadle's argumentation by interpreting the short story.

Treadle's claim for latent sexuality and pedophilia on Seymour's part is due to the fact that Seymour, while on the beach, plays with a young girl, Sybil, and makes up the story about bananafish as part of a game they were playing. Sybil, as far as the reader can tell, nurtures a sort of childhood crush on Seymour, one that he is possibly very aware of, as he plays along with Sybil's expectations and even jealousy, as he teases her about a possible rival: "Sharon Lipschutz knows where she lives and she's only three and a half." (Salinger 12)

Before, Seymour has been discussed about by his wife Muriel and her mother as a man who is possibly losing his mind, and everyone is worried about him. He stays for a long time on the beach with his bathrobe on but does not try to get in the water before Sybil comes to get him. While they play on the water, Seymour makes up the story about bananafish to amuse the little girl:

Well, they swim into a hole where there's a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary- looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in, they behave like pigs. Why, I've known some bananafish to swim into a banana hole and eat as many as seventy- eight bananas." ... "Naturally, after that they're so fat they can't get out of the hole again. Can't fit through the door." (Salinger 15)

The solution, according to Seymour, is only death, as the bananafish get "banana fever" (15). Treadle has noted the sexual undertones of this scene, with a delicate confusion between childhood innocence by Sybil being misunderstood in Seymour's case as sexual attraction. He is constantly grabbing her ankles at one point even kisses her feet. And, according to treadle, a banana is also a phallic symbol, one that relates to Seymour's sexuality. (Treadle 23) His wife's discussion of him as if he were a sick man indicates that his sexual life is not very active or healthy. (ibid)

Bishop, however, has a more cogent interpretation of the role of bananafish. After playing with Sybil, Seymour goes back to the hotel, gets to his room, gets a gun and finally kills himself on the spot. For Bishop, the bananafish do not relate with sexuality at all (90) but with the mores of the middle-class bourgeoisie he belongs. He sees Seymour himself as a kind of bananafish, a made-up, fake and imaginary creature, that has no purpose in life but to eat compusively bananas, on indulge in a repeated action without consideration. For Bishop, this is the modus operandi of his class regarding capitalism.

This relates even more powerfully with the descriptions of Muriel's clothing and some of her vocabulary, constantly worried about consumerism: "She moved the button on her Saks blouse." (Salinger 3) And with Seymour's last action before his suicide, in which he confronts a woman that stereotypically embodies the class to which Seymour belongs and does not fit, as she stares at his feet. (Bishop 90) The episode with Sybil may be somewhat suggestive of a sexual encounter, but its tone is much too playful and naïve to be regarded as such. It seems Seymour is only relating to the purity of a child's mind, one that is still unspoiled by class moralities and hypocrisies. Seymour, finding himself unable to escape or relate to his new life, figuratively gets "banana fever" and has to die.

A poem for my new fans.

It's called The Ramen of the Ancient Mariner

It is an ancient mariner, and
he stoppeth one of three.
He asketh, "Spare me some the time of
day, me brother?" The wedding-guest,
moogingly lifted his mortified pride
and struck the ancient mariner with
a blow in the
groins.

Grabbing his groobie, the mariner
sayeth: "Wedding-guest out of
Pythagoras' circular academe
of hell, listen to my tale. Piles
of blood floweth when I found
the flaggingly upper crust of
death in the sea."

"It began with the bird of seasickness
bringing bouts of persuasion and
scurvy to our swashbuckley buck of
swishing swashing cotton swabs
of adventure. 'Tis but an albatross,"
I said, but I wanted dead fishes.

"He looks good enough to eat,"
nervously whispered the jogging
manatee's eyes. With a hand to my
gun, I unloaded fear desperation
love obsession pride in one burst
of BLAM.

I shot the albatross.

The manatee's poor judgment
led me to rebusquely consider
and scrutinize the cabinman's
infected furuncle. Dripping pus
in piles of sulphorous tears:
for albatross meat is worse
than chili breezes.

Someone set us up the bomb.

Inspired by Bernardo's cut-up technique of citations from songs and literature based on the headline poem, I decided to do mine with quotes from historical figures.

FISHBONES
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Juvenal

The arsenal of righteouness
begin with sewing machines
and makes an independent country.

It is subject to advance
planning; it is an
instrument of peace.

Beyond - there is a
different country.

FLUIDS!
I am become death,
the destroyer of worlds.

Now I am only bone
I waited for peace
And here is my peace.

War was beginning .

New poem, everyone. This will soon become a song in our next album, Arsenal XII (actually TEN). It's called "The Dead Fish"

Wandering lonely as a cloud
I came up to this empty beach.
Hear the befuddling fuddle of
the sea. On the sand, there
lied the dead, dead, dead fish.

Fish, fish, fishy fishy fish.
Why do you ignore me?
Is it because of the stupefying stench
If this varnished morning, for
dead fish is worse than chili breezes.

I took the rotting fish, and
decomposing bits fell to the side.
Was not the fish only a vessel
The vessel of life?
Now its foobly stare lies dead
like a blemished tartutik
It followed me wherever I did go.

Gloobily scales that once
swam the vast and deepest depths of
the deep sea now rotted in my hand.
It spoke, go, now.
For now I understood what
the message this bottle carried.
No matter.

What you say ??

I have a new poem, this is called "The Lake Island of THRaKaTTaK"

See, see the gruesome sky
Marvel at its big grey-greyish depths.
Tell me, John do you
Wonder why the monkee ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel peckish.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your greblolzor facial growth
That looks like
A monkey brain.
What's more, it knows
Your apperception potting shed
Smells of lumpy orb.
Everything under the big gruesome sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm chili breezes.

It's you !!

I wrote this poem tonight, just for you. It's called "Whenever I go out at 3 AM to buy bread"

riverrun the quest of peasant
hovering over the grover unger-goer
mopper mop, sharks have no lungs
(or do they? I'm not a marine biologist)

until I saw something horrible
it spoke to me: GERONTOPHILIA.
as the roadkill scrummied
on the asphalt, the dead badger
flew out of the hunchback's crotch.

"there is no right or wrong
all I have is my sense of
castle of illusionment."

i'm in a monkee spacey moogie
travelling a hundred miles a
minute

For great justice !!

Types of critic
In the virtual world we often come across all sorts of figures: walking encyclopedias, biographers, headline-men, amateur filmmakers, filmmakers with a diploma from UFF, among others.

Star Critic: the star critic has his own website, watches movies in previews, gets money from ads and hosts his own TV show. His comments are usually obvious observations, summaries, and useless lists. Reflects popular taste.
Amateur Star Critic: often with a UFF diploma, has his own website and/or blog and several short movies in his resumé. Thinks he's pretty smart because his monograph on Star Wars or Star Trek got an A, but spends most of his time rehashing other people's reviews. A repressed fascist, hates to discuss and abuses his power. Example: Lao Joe is Moo
Headline-Men: Ubiquitous in forums and mailing lists, he's always posting the latest news - from Jennifer Lopez' new hairdo to befuddling comments by George Lucas. Lacking personality and half a brain, likes to hang around star critics (either amateur or professional) and often answers with monossilabic comments. Can't spell to save his life.
Biographer: the biographer is an amateur star-critic that takes his "job" WAY too seriously. Spends years building up his "arsenal", collecting materials from Star Wars novelizations to Darth Vader mugs (and ultra-rare "lobby cards"!). In his spare time, writes "screenplays" and fantasizes about sending them to Steven Spielberg or George Lucas. Often praises Hitchcock and Welles in his reviews, but would take Jurassic Park over them any day.
The friendly: like Headline-Man, likes to hang around star critics, but does not have enough energy to find interesting news. Therefore, only provides monossilabic commentary.
Braindead/junkie: watches all the right movies, but when he gets down to it, he's only able to come up with stuff like: "Movie X r0x. Mega powerups! Waka jawaka! Thokatrops!"
The cynical: Thinks he's way smarter than all the other critics put together, and spends most of his time making fun of them. His reviews are chock full of obscure jokes that only 2.4 people out of a hundred are able to understand. Whenever he's not criticizing movies he has seen, he's criticizing those he hasn't.

Take off every 'zig' !!

Veteran singer Bob Dylan has called the quality of modern music recordings "atrocious" and "worth nothing". In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the 65-year-old said: "There's no definition of nothing, no nothing, just like... static". He also failed to denounce illegal music downloads, saying: "Well, why not? It ain't worth nothing anyway." "You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them," he said. "I don't know anybody who's made a record that sounds decent in the past 20 years, really. (From BBC News)

As a musician/composer myself, I have the right to feel offended by Mr. Dylan's words. But I am sure he did not mean me or my band, because we are not that famous yet, so I can forgive him. After all, I agree with him to a certain point. Cheers

We get signal.

These are my favorite movies:
* Charley Varrick: thieves rob a bank and the mob goes after them.
* Willy Wonka: five kids go after the golden ticket which will allow visit to chocolate factory.
* Rosemary's Baby: Beelzebub's son is generated.
* Perfume of Woman: the tango and the Ferrari say more than the history.
* The Fortress: Australian of horror in which nine kids and a teacher are kidnapped, probably based on Kafka's The Castle.
* The Illuminated: the isolation in the Hotel Overlook would leave Jack crazy, after all, no TV and no beer...
* The Boys From Brazil: Cloning and nazism. Suspense of first line about ideas of a nazist medic to revive Hitler.

None of these movies, however, contain any bears, or farmers, or even Jennifer Lopez. This has worried me for quite sometime, because it is well-known that a sucessful movie must contain at least one of the above elements. I guess it's not really a problem, since my new favorite movie is A Place to Rebegin, a movie that has a) A BEAR, b) TWO (possibly homosexual) FARMERS, and c) JENNIFER LOPEZ. Warrant quality.
